The Tylenol Murders: Unsealed's Christy Gutowski and Stacy St. Clair on the Death of Suspect James Lewis

In 1982, seven people died in Chicago after taking Tylenol capsules injected with potassium cyanide. An investigation into the seemingly random poisonings carried on for decades. No one was ever convicted of the Tylenol murders. But many in law enforcement believed that they had a decent circumstantial case against James Lewis.

A longtime con man, Lewis was convicted of attempting to extort Johnson & Johnson, the company behind Tylenol. He had a troubled past, including one other murder charge where he walked after a Miranda violation. He also had a penchant for taunting investigators.

On July 9, 2023, Lewis was found dead. The Murder Sheet interviewed Christy Gutowski and Stacy St. Clair about the news, the legacy Lewis leaves behind, what his death means for the murder case, and the work they plan to do continuing to uncover answers.

Here's a link to the article on Lewis' death that Christy and Stacy wrote for the Chicago Tribune: https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-tylenol-james-lewis-dies-20230710-tzzcoedaareazprveofqw732km-story.html
