Excellent! But do you know what poison the killer used?

Cyanide. And a stewardess (victim) who lived in Sandburg Village bought a bottle at my Walgreens at the corner of North and Wells.

Congrats to Both of You!

I remember living through that and all the panic. I also remember thinking that Tylenol would surely go out of business and seeing it become the example for all the safety seals that we see today. Every time I open a bottle with a safety wrap or I see that message about not using a product if the seal is tampered with, I can't help but wonder if the younger ones today know when and why it all started.
