Key Suspect in 1982 Tylenol Murders Found Dead

TL;DR Summary
James Lewis, the sole suspect in the 1982 Tylenol murders, has died at the age of 76, leaving the case unsolved. Lewis had been the authorities' primary focus for decades, but prosecutors were hesitant to seek an indictment without direct physical evidence linking him to the poisonings that killed seven people. Despite intense scrutiny and multiple interviews with law enforcement, Lewis consistently denied being the killer. His death makes it unlikely that anyone will ever be charged in connection with the case, as investigators had been primarily focused on him for the past 40 years.
