ABC's investigative reporter Brian Ross, meanwhile, was on the trail of a 1982 cold case of serial murder. He reminded us of the seven Chicago deaths from poisoning by cyanide that had been inserted into Tylenol capsules on store shelves before they were purchased. James Lewis was convicted at the time for a $1m extortion scheme against Johnson & Johnson, which makes Tylenol, but was not charged with the tampering itself. Now Lewis is under "some very serious scrutiny by the FBI" concerning the underlying murders, although ABC's Ross was careful to note that there are "no people in custody, no charges brought, no arrests imminent." NBC's Pete Williams reminded us that the Tylenol murders transformed drug store shelves: they "led to new tamperproof packaging for all kinds of medicines."
