When you have an ache or a fever, often, you reach into your medicine cabinet and pop a few anti-inflammatories without a second thought. In Chicago in 1982, seven people did just that and wound up dead. 

Today, Branden covers the PR nightmare that has been dubbed "The Tylenol Murders." A case that is still unsolved to this day and was responsible for pharmaceutical companies introducing tamper-proof seals and caplets. 

 

Episode Note: One of the victims was reported as Mary Weiner. Her name is Mary Reiner.
