The FBI wants to compare the Unabomber's DNA to DNA "evidence" from the Tylenol murders?
On September 29, 1982, seven people in Chicago died after taking Extra Strength Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide. Officials have long cited the scarcity of physical evidence and apparent lack of motive to explain why they never solved the Tylenol murders. However, new revelations and information not previously disclosed tell a very different story of a crime that should have been solved. Link to Tylenol Murders page
ABC News posted a video on May 19, 2011 showing a lab worker handling Tylenol capsules in 1982. He’s wearing gloves so as not to contaminate any possible DNA evidence – Right?
WRONG. DNA profiling (typing) was not invented until late 1984 - two years after the Tylenol murders. DNA testing was not commercially available until 1986, and wasn't used by the FBI until 1988.
In fact, the capsules in the above picture are not even from any of the Tylenol victims' bottles.... The ones below are.
Oops...
Here, a toxicologist at the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office handles the Tylenol bottles containing the cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules that killed Mary Kellerman, Adam Janus, Stanley Janus, and Theresa Janus. He is not wearing gloves
Here, a lab worker at the Illinois Dept. of Health in DuPage County handles Tylenol victim Mary McFarland’s bottle of cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules. He is not wearing gloves.

What DNA evidence?
On February 4, 2009, ABC reported: "A drug store surveillance photo captured an image of a bearded man [in a Walgreens store at the time Tylenol victim Paula Prince bought a bottle of cyanide-laced Tylenol] who some said resembled [Tylenol suspect, James] Lewis." -- That was a lie.... The picture below is the one referenced by ABC. However, authorities in 1982 determined that the man in this picture is NOT Lewis.
ABC now cites a website promoting a ridiculous hypothesis that Ted Kaczynski, aka the Unabomber, is also the Tylenol killer, and that the above picture of the bearded man standing in the Walgreens store might actually be Kaczynski.
When the above picture was taken, Kaczynski was living in this shack in Montana.
