This is a half-serious theory that came out of doing research instead of sleeping.
As you may know, there were 7 victims in the Chicago Tylenol murders. 3 of which were in the same family. They are Adam, Stanley, and Theresa Janus. They all took extra-strength Tylenol pills with potassium cyanide infused in them.
The first to take it was Adam who was rushed to the hospital and died. The rest of his family going with him except for Stanley and Theresa. For some reason they stayed behind, taking the Tylenol and dying of cyanide poisoning as well. As far as I can tell, nobody knows why Stanley and Theresa (who is his wife) stayed at the house when everybody else left.
My half-serious theory is that Stanley and Theresa were the ones who put the cyanide in the Tylenol bottles, committing suicide after accidentally killing one of their family members.
The big three suspects are:
1. Theodore J. Kaczynski (The Unabomber) who killed people via bombs in the mail, not poisoning.
2. Roger Arnold a guy who said weird things about the murders at a bar. While you may look it up and see that he had chemistry stuff in his house; however, those chemistry things were creating potassium carbonate, not potassium cyanide. He also killed John Stanisha, who accused him of being the Tylenol killer. He is currently charged with the murder of John Stanisha and was cleared of any blame for the Tylenol murders.
3. James Lewis, who tried to blackmail Johnson and Johnson (the parent company to Tylenol) to put money in a bank account that wasn't his so he could show the FBI that some guy scammed $511 out of him and his wife. Some say he is guilty because of his past. He allegedly chased his mom with an ax at 19. He went to a mental hospital in 1966 after taking 36 Anacin pills. Although he states that these actions were his way of trying to dodge the Vietnam War draft. People also say he is guilty because he was charged with the murder of Raymond West; however, he was later acquitted. After being accused of fraud, he and his wife fled to Chicago (bringing us to 1982); however, 25 days before the murders Lewis and his wife bough Amtrack tickets to New York where there is no evidence of them coming back to Chicago. The reason 25 days is so important is that potassium cyanide would dissolve the pills in 25 days, so unless he went back to Chicago a day or 2 ahead and put it in there then (where there is no actual evidence of him doing so) he couldn't have done it. The rest of the "reasons" against him are failed business ventures and suspicions from various places. People also say he is guilty because, in his '66 visit to a mental hospital, he was diagnosed with catatonic schizophrenia.
At that, there isn't much to it. Just something to think about. Ultimately, the theory that Stanley and Theresa Janus committing the Chicago Tylenol killings has just as much evidence and logic as the prime suspect by the FBI has on him. So unless more evidence pops up, there isn't really a good and solid suspect for the Chicago Tylenol Killings. So the idea that 2 lovers committing suicide after accidentally killing Stanley's brother make just as if not more sense than a random terrorist, a dude who was falsely accused, and a dude who was in another state.
If there is something big I missed or whatever reply I guess. Like I said this was just a weird idea that came out of my sleep-deprived head last night so... yeah
