THE TYLENOL MAFIA
A story of marketing, murder and Johnson & Johnson
Scheduled for release in the fall of 2010
On September 29, 1982, seven people died after swallowing Tylenol capsules that had been filled with cyanide and then planted in Chicago area outlets. No one was ever charged for the murders. In 1986 Tylenol capsules were once again filled with cyanide, causing the death of a woman in Yonkers, NY. No one was ever charged for that murder either. In February 2009, the Tylenol murders made headlines again when the 1982 Tylenol murders investigation was reactivated. Once again, no one was charged.
The Tylenol murders investigation was a dismal failure, but the Tylenol murders public relations campaign was an absolute triumph. Johnson & Johnson’s handling of the Tylenol crisis has been ingrained into the psyche of American consumers as the gold standard of crisis management. A standard widely accepted as a model of righteous corporate behavior to which all companies should aspire.
Behind the well publicized hype, was an investigation conducted on the basis of speculative theory that was driven by powerful influencers within the Illinois Department of Law Enforcement, FBI, FDA and Johnson & Johnson. Evidence was destroyed and information suppressed that would have brought the killers to justice.
The Tylenol murders mystery seems destined to remain unsolved throughout history.
The Tylenol Mafia will rewrite history.

I'VE SEEN THE FUTURE BROTHER
IT IS MURDER
Bartz was interviewed and provided background information for a story that ran in The Daily Hearld on August 4, 2009.
Six months after FBI raids, still no arrests in Tylenol murders

.... All of this provides fodder for www.americanfraud.com, a Web site dedicated to the Tylenol case that is researched and written by ex-Johnson & Johnson sales representative Scott Bartz.
Bartz, a New Jersey resident, has spent years extensively researching the case and believes there's a massive cover-up involved. He's written a book on the topic and is now shopping for a publisher.
Not only does Bartz suspect there were more Tylenol poisoning victims, he also believes police overlooked certain suspects.
"I don't want to accuse anyone of the crime ... but they've embedded in everyone's mind that James Lewis is the Tylenol man, when they don't have a stitch of evidence," Bartz said. "I'm not trying to suggest it's a wide, organized conspiracy. It's where everyone wanted to protect themselves and had their own interests."
Is it just a waste of time?
REPENT
You can say that I've grown bitter
But if this you may be sure
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
There's a night of judgement coming
But I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices in the tower of song
