While there’s a lot in here, it still feels like there’s more to be added.

Despite the fact that she had never read or heard about these articles for many years, she never even knew they existed.

In order to give her kids a normal childhood, her mom hid them in storage boxes.

The headlines now sit on Kasia’s table, reminding her of the tragedy that tore through her family, and the puzzle pieces she wants to solve.

7 deaths, uncounted fears

Doctor says killer probably wasn’t psychotic

Close-knit family waiting for justice

Kasia discovers something new with each flip through these files. Despite this, she sees with glaring clarity what’s missing: her story.

She avoided telling anyone for decades. Newspaper clippings like these preserved her feelings and memories of what happened.

A 4-year-old preschool student in suburban Chicago was poisoned by cyanide slipped into Tylenol bottles across the city.

A notorious unsolved murder case that killed seven people took place in the late 1970s. An unprecedented string of copycat poisonings accompanied the poisonings, causing a nationwide panic and causing one of the largest product recalls in history.

It has been almost 40 years since the first victims were identified and documented on September 29, 1982. As of yet, no one has been charged with the murders. Although police say they’re hoping DNA technology will lead them to new evidence, there have been no announcements in the past few years.

Tylenol poisonings led to the implementation of tamper-proof packaging on many medicines and foods, but the case has since faded from the public consciousness.

It’s something Kasia thinks about every day. She was not on a mission to crack the case, but to find answers of her own in the days leading up to the 40th anniversary.

Three of the victims were members of her family in the Tylenol killings.

Within a week, Kasia lost her dad, uncle, and aunt. The search for them has continued decades later.
