This week, Syd keeps us on the edge of our seats with the story of the 1982 Chicago Tylenol Murders, an unsolved medical true crime! When seven people are killed at random after someone fills bottles of the J&J drug Tylenol with cyanide, it led to a global panic and forever changed the way we treat over the counter drugs.
