About this ebook
Seven people died near Chicago after taking cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules on September 29, 1982. The unsolved Tylenol murders case has perplexed federal, state, and local authorities for 30 years. Now, this riveting expose tells the story of an inquiry led astray from the start and marred by the mishandling and destruction of evidence.
Drawing on thousands of archived news articles, police reports, court documents, interviews with the prime suspects, and interviews with authorities who were involved in the investigation, this compelling narrative provides a revelatory account of the investigation into the murders that terrorized a nation.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Tymurs is not your typical book with a cast of characters and a plot. Yes, it does have a plot - the death of innocent people from taking a simple medication.This is a story about the Tylenol murders back in 1982. The FBI gave this case the code name “Tymurs”.Had it not been that more than one person died from the same location, and the cause found to be the Tylenol capsules, we might never have known to research this farther. Yes, they were all from the greater Chicago area, but it seemed by pure luck the cause of their deaths was found.Yes, there are a cast of characters, including the 7 people who died because of the poisoning on Tylenol capsules. There are people from Johnson & Johnson, the processing facility, the warehouse and shipping facility, the local police and the FBI. Then add in all the media.There are so many people involved it is hard to keep track, but rather easier to read with where they are from, not who they are.I would also suggest reading with two bookmarks, as at the end of each chapter, there are pages of notes with sources and further reference.Definitely a very interesting read and I would recommend it to everyone.
