If I learned anything while watching Painkiller: The Tylenol Murders, it was just how simple it was to get away with multiple crimes before the Internet was invented. There's one episode of this docu-series where they say the main suspect's wife is "only guilty" of having a false Social Security card. Stealing someone's identity must have been a walk in the park, since her husband committed multiple acts of fraud and extortion by simply moving from state and state and may very well be a serial killer.
I was a small child when the Tylenol murders happened so I don't remember them but I remember the whole thing surrounding pill bottles and contaminated Halloween candy in the 1980s, it's totally crazy that as late as 1982 Tylenol was mass-produced by a major corporation and didn't have a safety seal or even tape on the box, let alone a hard-to-open "child safety" lid. Yeah "child safety" not "crazed cyanide killer proof lid." I guess it just doesn't have the same ring to it for the people in Tyelnol marketing.
