About this listen

Chicago, 1982: a silent killer stalks drugstore shelves, turning trusted Tylenol into a deadly trap. In this electrifying episode of Crime and Scandals with Scarlett, Scarlett unearths the 1982 Tylenol murders, where seven lives—12-year-old Mary Kellerman, the Janus family, and others—were stolen by cyanide-laced capsules, plunging a nation into panic. At the heart of the mystery is James Lewis, a grieving father turned fugitive, whose eerie extortion letter to Johnson & Johnson and uncanny knowledge of cyanide scream guilt—or do they? Then, a chilling twist: Kenneth Hansen, a man consumed by vengeance, dismembers his rival George Jayne. Whispers of Hansen’s cyanide access fuel speculation of a Tylenol connection, but will we find the answers ?

Scarlett navigates this labyrinth of betrayal, grief, and unanswered questions, pulling you into a tragedy that still grips us 43 years later. . #TrueCrime
