In this chilling episode of Stuttering in Silence, Matt and Gavin take us back to Chicago in 1982 — when ordinary bottles of Tylenol turned into weapons of mass fear. Seven people died in just days, and America’s most trusted pain reliever suddenly became the face of terror.
Together, the hosts unpack how Johnson & Johnson went from “America’s family company” to the center of a national panic, the shocking recall that rewrote corporate crisis management forever, and the haunting theories about who really laced those capsules with cyanide. From the bearded man caught on tape, to James Lewis’s extortion letter, to whispers of an inside job — the Tylenol murders remain one of the most disturbing unsolved cases in U.S. history.
This is more than a true crime story — it’s the reason you crack open a tamper-proof seal every time you open a bottle today.
