Police said they had several
eads m the investigation, m
c jdmg a shoplifter arrested in
iate August for stealing Tylenol
and reports of suspicious cus
tomers at stores where the poi
son was found on shelves
Police artists were sent out to
interview employees
Two police officers who
picked up what are believed to
have been Tylenol capsules in a
parking lot became ill the next
day, and authorities were run
ning tests on the pills to see if
they were contaminated by
cyanide
Illinois Attorney General Ty
rone Fahner, who is leading a
task force of 75 investigators,
said Sunday that authorities
believe the poisoned capsules
were placed on shelves
probably the day before" the
first three deaths were reported
Wednesday
It is an act of a random mur
derer who filled the capsules
with cyanide and then placed
them in the stores,'1 said
Fahner. who is heading a task
force of some 75 investigators
from 15 state federal and local
agencies including the FBI
Forty-three state chemists were
working around-the-clock in the
investigation
Fahner said evidence in
dicates a single person went
around the Chicago area salting
the store shelves with one bottle
of contaminated Tyelonol (at a
time)' The stores were as much
as 40 miles apart in the northern

Police also said Sunday that a
fourth lot-number of capsules
was involved in the deaths A
woman who died in Winfield, a
far west suburb of Chicago, had
capsules from lot MB1833
There was initial confusion over
the batch number in that case
because she apparently mixed
Extra-Strength Tylenol
capsules with regular Tylenol
The first two batches im
plicated. lots MC2880 and
1910MD were recalled nation
wide by the manufacturer,
McNeil Consumer Products Co
a subsidiary of Johnson &
Johnson
The last known victim.
35-year-old flight attendant
Paula Prince, was found dead
Friday night in her Chicago
apartment, a few steps from a
24-capsule bottle of Extra
Strength Tylenol she had
bought at a nearby drug store
Authorities believe she died
Wednesday
All the other contaminated
bottles contained 50 capsules
The pills in Prince's apart
ment were from a third batch, lot
1801MA That and the fourth
batch have not been recalled
So far. five bottles of con
taminated Tylenol have been
found, each traced to a different
store
Fahner cited that fact and the
fact that four different batches
were involved in saying inves
tigators believe the tampering
was not done in factories or
distribution centers handling
the best-selling over-the
counter pain remedy Authori
ties have determined that the
bottles containing the poison
came from several manufactur
ing locations and didn't cross
paths during distribution
