In 1982, the United States was shocked by a series of mysterious deaths:

people died after taking Tylenol (paracetamol) tablets.

The first victim was a 12-year-old resident of Chicago, Mary Kellerman.
The girl became ill and took medicine that seemed harmless at first glance.
Mary soon died. Within a few days, six more people died - they all took
paracetamol.

The city began to panic. Someone was more fortunate - the case ended in poisoning.
In total, about 700 people turned to hospitals.

The investigation found that poisoned paracetamol was sold in several pharmacies
- the medicine contained potassium cyanide. All poison packages were manufactured
by Johnson Johnson.
The audit showed that the company was not involved in the poisoning: cyanide could
not get into the capsules this way.
But who then filled the medicine with poison?

The story continued. A few days later, an anonymous letter was sent to Johnson
Johnson.
The sender demanded to pay him a million dollars immediately, otherwise, the mass
poisoning will begin again.
As it turned out, the letter was written by the unemployed James Lewis.
But here's the mystery - the investigation failed to prove that it was he who was
responsible for the killings!
The maximum that they could impute to him is the charge of extortion.
Lewis served his time in prison and actively collaborated with the investigation.

The real poisoner was never found, although more than 400 suspects were
interviewed.
In 2009, the investigation was resumed again - they searched the house of James
Lewis.
Many, by the way, consider him a true poisoner - that, of course, he vehemently
denies it.
But then who is the poisoner!
