Twenty years ago, somebody spiked bottles of Extra Strength Tylenol capsules with poison, killing seven in the Chicago area. John Douglas thinks he knows who that somebody was. Not "who" as in name, address and date of birth--after two decades, the crime is still unsolved. But Douglas believes he knows the kind of person who would do such a thing. As each victim swallowed cyanide-laced capsules and the death count grew in late September of 1982, Douglas, an FBI profiler who specialized in identifying criminal characteristics, was sent here from Quantico, Va., to work on the unfolding mystery. Laboring alone in an otherwise unused office, Douglas examined evidence in the case the FBI called TYMURS. And, he wondered, "What the hell is the motive?" Murder by poison is as ancient as Cleopatra. But the Tylenol case was something altogether different: The murders, between Sept. 29 and Oct. 1, seemed random, claiming a group ranging from a 12-year-old Elk Grove Village girl to a 35-year-old flight attendant from Old Town. One family lost three members. What the hell was the motive? Investigators never could nail it.
