When the Tylenol murders follow you home. The son who dared to expose the truth.
Chicago, 1982. Seven people swallowed Tylenol capsules meant to heal, then they died within minutes. America changed overnight, then the killer vanished into darkness, and that darkness lived in my home.
I was eleven, and my father was The Tylenol Killer that terrorized a nation.
He created chaos, and confessed with his last breath. I uncovered the truth, and the rot behind his badge. He built lies, and I built a case. I tore the mask from the madness and discovered that each clue led deeper into a labyrinth of deceit.
I stripped his name from mine, and I stripped his power too. He found me, and threatened my life, but I did not run. Instead, I shined a light into his darkness.
From the son who would not stay silent, THE TYLENOL MURDERS: A Father's Confession to His Son reveals a confession buried under four decades of fear, complicity, and blue-walled denial.
The truth is not a eulogy. It is an indictment.
Quotes from the Book
“Cyanide pills … I did it.” His final words weren’t confession. They were performance.”
“My father was not only a complex man. He was a dark man. His shadow was not chance or mistake. He engineered it. He weaponized it. He designed pain with precision. He walked corridors of cruelty.”
“This book is the reckoning. This book is the closure. This book is the confrontation. I tell it not because I wish to, but because I must. Some truths demand air. Some truths, once unearthed, cannot be buried again.”
