2w ago00:29:01Summary readyA week after seven people died from poisoned Tylenol, Johnson & Johnson received a handwritten letter demanding one million dollars. It was the first real break in the case, and it raised more questions than it answered. In the second of three episodes on the Tylenol murders, Katie Ring follows the investigation as it begins to fracture from within.

2w ago00:30:26Summary readyOn a single night in 1982, seven people in the Chicago area died after taking Tylenol. They didn't know each other, they weren't targeted, and the killer never had to get close to a single one of them. In the first of three episodes on the Tylenol murders, Katie Ring takes you back to the night it began: the Janus family, struck down one by one in their own home; the twelve-year-old who took two pills for a sore throat and never came back downstairs; and the flight attendant who stopped at a Walgreens on her way home from work, and never made it out. As investigators scrambled to piece together what the victims had in common, they uncovered something that would change the way Americans think about the products they buy forever.

SummaryScott Peterson: His Case Isn't As Closed As You Think Pt. 3
2w ago00:33:56Summary readyScott Peterson was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and sentenced to death. The case against him had no murder weapon, no DNA, and no witnesses. Just circumstantial evidence and a jury that was convinced. In the third and final episode on the murder of Laci Peterson, Katie Ring covers the trial, the verdict, and the developments that have kept the case alive ever since: a van that burned the day after Laci disappeared, a witness whose tip was never followed up, and a DNA test on key evidence whose results have yet to be made public. The question of whether justice was truly served remains very much open. This episode contains descriptions of physical and sexual assault, and murder. Please listen with care.

And almost immediately, something about his story didn't add up. In part two of three episodes on the murder of Laci Peterson, Katie Ring breaks down the investigation that followed: the mistress who came forward, the boat purchased on a deeply suspicious date, and the moment Scott Peterson's carefully constructed version of events began to unravel.
