40 years after Tylenol poisoning murders, investigators interview person of interest in Cambridge
CBS Boston ^ | 9/23/22 | Brad Edwards

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Major developments surfaced Thursday into the 40-year-old investigation into the Tylenol murders in the greater Chicago area.

CBS 2 Chicago learned that investigators travelled to the Boston area this week to re-interview the man considered a suspect in the seven deaths.

James Lewis was never charged with the murders, but he was convicted of trying to extort $1 million from Johnson & Johnson in the days after the cyanide-laced pills showed up on store shelves.

The CBS 2 Investigators began re-examining the case back in April; reporter Brad Edwards travelled to Massachusetts last month to try to track down Lewis. He was living at the very same Cambridge apartment he moved into after being released from prison.

That Halloween I gave kids a choice. I had a tray with an apple that had a razor blade sticking out of it or a jar a Tylenol.

“The taxpayers are shelling out premium gelt to get 25-30 agents on site for a raid on a ‘dangerous’ father of seven.”

He probably was at the Jan. 6 rally.

I always suspected it was someone tied to either the packaging industry, or people trying to make it harder for small businesses.

Having to have sophisticated packaging equipment produces a barrier to market entry - the per unit cost of making a million packages is much less than the unit cost to make a few thousand.

From reading several stories about this it sounds like they may get him on new DNA profiling technics.

It Figures that he would wash up in Cambridge MA.

Cambridge, MA is the center of pharma research in the country/world.
It is where all the start up companies in biomedical research are located.
Much of that research comes out of the labs of the grad students at Harvard Medical school and MIT along with BU.

“Sources at the FBI released this statement”

Well Son of a Bytch! James Lewis must be a Republican since the FBI (Stasi) is involved.

There is no statute of limitations on murder, nor should there be. If they have new evidence and can get the guy that did this, go for it, years be damned.

Seven murders is kind of a big deal, IMO.

I am surprised they have not been able to trace the exact source of the cyanide.

Analytical chemistry in 2022 can identify every molecule in a poison.

Knowing the exact lab or exact retail source of the cyanide could narrow down the suspects to a couple dozen people.

“...I remember my dad throwing out the Tylenol ...”

Extra Strength Endytol

(Another stupid joke I’ve been saying for 40 years although now, it’s a stupid dad joke)

I was recently introduced to the theory that Tyleno1 murder5 were a study by See Eye A. Something about what people do when scared that they might die as result of unexpected event.
Kind of like Covid….?
Science fiction story kind of stuff.
A little hard to see how someone who was so clumsy with extortion demand could be so deft at carrying out the poisoning.
BTW - isn’t Cambridge near Boston and the Whitey Bulger office of the EffBeeEye?

I knew the guy. He was a classmate of my brother at the Carl Junction, Missouri high school. As I remember, there were question about the death of his mother. He was a strange one.

“So weird, I was just thinking about this case 2 days ago when I was having trouble getting a safety top off a bottle.”

That’s really weird. I was thinking about it the other day trying to get the top off of a bottle.
