Tragedy transforms you
While there is a lot here, it still seems to be missing a lot. She never knew many of these articles existed or had read them. In order to give her kids a normal childhood, her mom hid them in storage boxes. Kasia's table is covered with headlines from a tragic event that tore through her family, and they serve as a reminder of what she is striving to overcome. 7 deaths, uncounted fears Doctor believes killer was not psychotic Close-knit family waiting for justice There's always something new to discover when she flips through these files. Despite that, she also sees clearly what isn't there: her story. It was something she resisted telling for decades. Like these newspaper clippings, she organized her feelings and memories about what happened. In xhome xhome , someone slipped cyanide into Extra-Strength Tylenol bottles across the city's metro area when she was four years old. There were seven people murdered in the so-called unsolved murder case. Greater Chicago was terrorized, nationwide panic was sparked, a troubling string of copies were produced, and one of the largest product recalls ever happened. While going through the many newspaper clippings and mementos her mom saved, Kasia discovers new details every time. It has been nearly 40 years since authorities documented the first death on September 29, 1982. The killings have not been charged. There haven't been any leads in the investigation for years, as the police hope advances in DNA technology can help uncover new evidence. In response to Tylenol poisoning, many medicines and foods now feature tamper-proof packaging, but the case that once paralyzed the country has faded from public focus. Every day, Kasia, now 44, thinks about it. In the lead up to the 40th anniversary, she is not trying to crack the case, but looking for her own answers. The Tylenol killings claimed the lives of seven people, three of whom were family members. In a matter of days, Kasia lost her dad, an uncle, and an aunt. Years later, she is still trying to locate them.
