I am old enough to remember this case and the fact that it forever changed the way I view OTC medicine and other items. On this date in 1982, the first of the victims of the Chicago Tylenol murders died. A total of seven died after unknowingly taking cyanide-laced capsules. From what I can see, the investigation has never turned up completely conclusive evidence for conviction.
