In 1982, seven people died in Chicago after taking Tylenol capsules injected with potassium cyanide. An investigation into the seemingly random poisonings carried on for decades. No one was ever convicted of the Tylenol murders. But many in law enforcement believed that they had a decent circumstantial case against James Lewis. A longtime con man, Lewis was convicted of attempting to extort Johnson & Johnson, the company behind Tylenol. He had a troubled past, including one other murder charge where he walked after a Miranda violation. He also had a penchant for taunting investigators. On July 9, 2023, Lewis was found dead. The Murder Sheet interviewed Christy Gutowski and Stacy St. Clair about the news, the legacy Lewis leaves behind, what his death means for the murder case, and the work they plan to do continuing to uncover answers.Here's a link to the article on Lewis' death that Christy and Stacy wrote for the Chicago Tribune: https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-tylenol-james-lewis-dies-20230710-tzzcoedaareazprveofqw732km-story.htmlRead some of their past Tribune coverage here: https://www.chicagotribune.com/tylenolmurders/ct-tylenol-murders-investigation-listicle-20220922-kndriges6zgdpf5pvrxdjatah4-list.htmlListen to Unsealed here, or wherever you listen to podcasts: https://unsealed-the-tylenol-murders.simplecast.com/Here's our earlier interview with Christy and Stacy: https://art19.com/shows/murder-sheet/episodes/63f3f314-baeb-4944-b2f4-b094bc7e5835Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In fall 1982, seven people in the Chicagoland area died after taking cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules, and no one knew why or who might be next.

Anyone who's had a headache probably doesn't think too hard before popping a Tylenol or other pain pill. But in late September 1982, the country was gripped with panic as taking a Tylenol could suddenly be deadly. That's after six people in the northwest suburbs and one person in the city died after taking tainted pills. It led to a nationwide recall, waves of false tips, and copycat killers. “Unsealed: The Tylenol Murders,” a new podcast and print series from the Chicago Tribune and At Will Media, explores the decades-long saga and uncovers new details. Chicago Tribune investigative reporters Christy Gutowski and Stacy St. Clair reported the series and co-host the podcast.

In January 2022, investigative journalists Christy Gutowski and Stacy St. Clair got a phone call they weren't expecting. Their source had an intriguing tip about an unsolved mass murder. Back in 1982, someone put poison on store shelves across the Chicago area. People died at random, sparking a nationwide manhunt and an international panic. Investigators figured out what killed the victims. But the question of who killed them wouldn't be so quick to answer. The FBI spent four decades in a game of cat-and-mouse with one top suspect. But was he the killer? Or could it have been someone else? In Unsealed: The Tylenol Murders, the Chicago Tribune uncovers an active law enforcement investigation into a decades-old case — what may be the last chance to solve it.

It has been a week since the 2021 Summer Olympics kicked off in Tokyo, Japan. Already we've seen a couple of Chicago-area athletes' medals, a Tsunami scare, and the biggest gymnast in the world make an unprecedented decision to step back. Chicago Tribune reporter Stacy St. Clair has been everywhere in Tokyo from the pools to the basketball courts, to an emotional softball field covering her fourth Olympics. Well, she hasn't been everywhere. The veteran journalist says due to COVID protocols she still can't visit greater Tokyo or even the restaurant next door to her cozy hotel. We check back in with Stacy to hear how the Chicago-area athletes are doing, how the vibes are different without fans, and how the Olympic's biggest star is speaking up for mental health on the world stage.

This summer's Olympics are the fourth for Chicago Tribune reporter Stacy St. Clair. And, it's already like no other games she's covered. After weeks of tests and preparations, Stacy and her colleague, photojournalist Brian Cassella, have each been quarantining in their hotel rooms for three days, and are allowed 15 minutes a day to go outside, get some fresh air, and maybe run to the minimart for coffee. But, only if they can make it back before the security guard's timer goes off. On Wednesday, Tokyo officials reported another spike in COVID numbers, which means reporters and others won't even be allowed that 15 minutes. Athletes are tested daily and some have already had their Olympic dreams slashed because of positive tests. We check in with Stacy to hear more about what to expect from the Chicago-area athletes, how Tokyo citizens are responding to the Games, and how the IOC is handling some of the criticism.
