The Chicago Tylenol Murders Pt. 3

This is the finale of our Serial Killers and Conspiracy Theories crossover: By 2011, the FBI was ready to reexamine the evidence. A theory emerged: What if the Mad Poisoner was actually the Unabomber? Ted Kaczynski had proven he was a revenge-seeking terrorist, and he had connections to Chicago. Perhaps he traded homemade bombs for poisoned pills. Or maybe the deadly concoctions came straight from the Johnson & Johnson facility itself. In the absence of clear answers, only theories remain… and rumors that someone is still out there, replacing Halloween treats with fatal tricks. Learn more about your ad choices.

🏄🏼‍♂️

I’m very selective in my choices for what I choose to listen to, and follow only 2 podcasts. Cults is so sound in their content, delivery, and research. Easy to understand layout, well-constructed, and what sounds like professionally produced. Podcasts accompany me while I am engaged in other things therefore I enjoy an intriguing or entertaining podcast that I can reliably learn from (they cite their sources). Most importantly, a podcast that can enhance what I’m doing as I feebly attempt multitasking. A great show covering some of the most eccentric and zealous leaders and their cults.
Okay so..
