Eerie Final Interview with Accused 1982 Tylenol Murderer Revealed in New Chilling Documentary (2025)
I was a little kid when this happened. I was in a family that usually moved frequently because of my Dad’s career.
At the time this Tylenol poisoning situation was going on, we were living in a neighborhood that usually got a lot of kids at our door every year for Halloween. My Mom handed out candy to Trick or Treaters at that time.
The news about people dying from Tylenol poisonings started to appear in the newspapers a lot in September 1982.
Well, that upcoming Halloween, October 1982, we only got TWO children at our door that night (I don’t think I went out Trick or Treating myself; I stayed in), and those two kids were siblings! 
So many parents did not permit their children to Trick or Treat that year because of the degenerate who was killing people by tampering with Tylenol.
Aside from killing people (which is, of course, awful), the Tylenol Killer also ruined Halloween for a lot of Gen X kids that year.

James Lewis, the suspect in the 1982 Tylenol poisonings, gave a final interview attempting to clear his name. But some still wonder if he was the mastermind behind the murders that triggered a nationwide panic and got away with it.
In a span of three days beginning Sept. 29, 1982, seven people — including a 12-year-old girl — who took cyanide-laced Tylenol in the Chicago area died, sparking a national recall of the product.
The poisonings led to the adoption of tamper-proof packaging for over-the-counter medications.
The case, which remains unsolved, is the subject of a new Netflix true crime docuseries, “Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders.” It features new interviews with loved ones of the victims, investigators, as well as Lewis, who died in 2023 at 76.
