Whoever did the Tylenol murder clearly was angry at the world. Most likely an injustice collector. I looked up James Lewis and he does a rap sheet. Not sure if he did it.
I did read the The Daily Mail article and this one caught my attention.
I am not saying he did it, but I could see why he may have been a suspect. I have also read that Ted Kaczynski, The Unabomber, may have been the one who poisoned the Tylenol.

Tylenol murders suspect is seen in secret FBI videos from 2008
Videos from 2008 show him explaining to undercover FBI agents how the killer would have swapped the painkillers for cyanide without trace, while struggling to maintain his innocencewww.dailymail.co.uk

Police have said they believe Lewis acted on revenge against Johnson & Johnson after his five-year-old daughter, Toni, died in 1974. The girl passed away after sutures made by a subsidiary of the company were used to fix her congenital heart defect and they tore.

The dock worker at Jewel-Osco is Roger Arnold. He passed away in June 2008. His body was exhumed in 2010 to get DNA. The DNA did not match on the bottles.True, they've never been able to place him anywhere near Chicago around that time.
There was another interesting suspect developed by a Chicago PD detective. It came from a tip from someone who overheard a guy in a bar talking about making cyanide and putting it in the Tylenol.
I don't recall his name, but they found the guy and investigated him. He was a middle aged, low income, single guy who worked on the docks at the warehouse where the poisoned bottles originated. When they searched his home, they found he was an "amateur" chemist and IIRC, he had cyanide. They investigated him closely, but the FBI seemed to think it was Lewis. They didn't have enough on the other guy.

The Tylenol murders, part 3: Chicago police zero in on a suspect, and the case claims an 8th victim
Even before the July 2022 video conference on the Tylenol murders, DuPage County prosecutors know about another suspect in the case. On this, there is no doubt. In 2010, two prosecutors — inc…
