This month marks 40 years since seven Chicago-area residents died of poisoning after taking Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide. In all those years, no one has ever been charged with the murders.
Lewis spent 11 years in prison for extortion, but was never charged with the murders, and has always denied being the killer."I think the Tylenol murderer is still out there dancing in the streets," Lewis said during an interview from prison.
"Digitized it. Sent a lot of it to the FBI laboratory for analysis," Grant said. "That was a couple of years in the undertaking." "Lewis had always suggested there's somebody else out there who did it. Our conclusion is it was Lewis who did it. Period.""At the time, the task force was attempting to do certain things, and needed their cooperation," Lane said. "That was the last of my involvement. It was the last week I was in the office.""It ended with, 'we'll get back to you'," Grant said.
"This was Lewis. I think Lewis, with his ego, showing you how he could do it. We concluded was not only how you could do it but how he did it.""We supplied them in that letter with information we had - some of it public, others not public - which led us to the reasonable belief that Lewis was in fact the murderer," he said.
