I was a young teenager when all this happened. Remember it well.

Isn't this basically why we have tamper free packaging now?

Will watch.

not many places had security cameras back then

Just finished this doc a little while ago. Great documentary and I very much applaud the run time. Three episodes at like 43, 38, and 36 minutes. Roughly the same time as a movie.

It definitely seems like it was JL that did it. But there are so many weird things surrounding it that I honestly don’t know what the cause was. Could be him. Could be J&J negligence. Could be a rogue employee at J&J. Could be one of the other two suspects they brought up.

I definitely lean toward JL, but the fact that they have literally zero evidence over four decades connecting him to it is fairly telling. And the whole J&J lying thing stands out as well.

I do like that aside from J&J, they included basically every single person involved with it. Even the prisoner who seemed like he could’ve been making shite up to be on television.

The only thing that fell short was how in the hell did cyanide end up in Tylenol AFTER the tamper proof packaging. This happened several years after the original event.

ETA: he absolutely killed and dismembered his neighbor

Only watched the first episode so far but I think the dismissed the possibility of it being J&J pretty early in the first episode. Think they tracked the bottles back to 2-3 different manufacturing facilities that were several states apart.

I agree with that. And it seems like there should be something in place within the law that allows someone to still be convicted despite not being read their Miranda rights (or not completely).

unfortunately for Lewis, he just has that look of someone where you see him and you're immediately like "yeah, that dude did that shite." The way they ended the first episode was brilliant with how they introduced him.

He looked like the old man from poltergeist 2 from the 80’s. He scared the hell out of me
