Tylenol Slaying Theory

I suspect a Palestinian committed the act as revenge for the massacre of his family in the suburbs of Beirut.

The mystery poisoning began Sept. 29, 1982

The massacre began Sept. 17, 1982

I recall an article that said the telephones systems were working sporadically in Beirut during the shelling.

A phone call from Beirut to Chicago informing a Palestinian of the loss of his family would be the trigger for the Tylenol poisonings!


Reference:
The mystery began Sept. 29, 1982, with the poisoning of Mary Kellerman, a 12-year-old. Within 15 hours six other people had been poisoned: Adam Janus, a postal worker; Stanley Janus, his brother; Theresa Janus, Stanley Janus's wife; Mary Reiner, a telephone company employee; Mary McFarland, a homemaker, and Paula Prince, a flight attendant. All were found to have taken tainted Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules.

That reaches too far even for a whacked out conspiracy theory.

Probably some guy out to collect insurance on his wife put poison pills in a few other places to confuse the cops. They had a copy cat, who got caught. But the original creep was never caught.
