New suspect emerges in unsolved 1982 Tylenol murders

Original: Possible suspect with deep ties to L.A. emerges in unsolved 1982 Tylenol murders

A possible suspect with deep ties to Los Angeles has emerged in the unsolved 1982 Tylenol murders, the Chicago-area poisonings that killed seven people after cyanide-laced capsules were placed in Extra-Strength Tylenol bottles. The case, which led to sweeping tamper-proof packaging laws, has never produced charges, and any newly identified suspect would represent one of the biggest developments in the decades-old investigation.

Why now: A fresh lead in one of America's most notorious unsolved crimes, after more than four decades, naturally draws widespread attention.
