About This Episode
A headache. A bottle from the medicine cabinet. A medication millions of people trusted.
And then, people started dying.
Spooky season continues on Life & Sirens, and this week Aubrey is flying solo to take us back to Chicago in 1982—when seven people died after taking Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules that had been deliberately laced with cyanide.
What followed was panic, one of the largest product-tampering investigations in U.S. history, sweeping changes to medication packaging… and a question that still hasn’t been definitively answered:
Who did it?
This one is part toxicology, part EMS history, and part true crime.
Because sometimes the scariest stories aren’t ghost stories.
They actually happened. ☠️
