7 people died within 24 hours after doing something most of us have done: swallow a painkiller capsule.

For 40 years, mystery and misery have been uncomfortable partners in a nagging, unsolved Chicago crime. The ABC7 I-Team has learned that recently gathered new evidence, and a review of old circumstantial evidence, have given rise to hope for charges four decades after a horrible crime spree.

On Friday, the I-Team spoke with former Illinois State Police Director Jeremy Margolis, who said authorities have hope."Obviously a lot is going on about which I can't comment. But there is a renewed interest in this case" Margolis said. "Anything less than a prosecution successful prosecution of the person responsible, none of us will be satisfied."

"The Tylenol murderer is still dancing on the streets of this country and the prosecutors in Chicago could care less" Lewis told Goudie. Elaborate sketches by Lewis, allegedly to help investigators, show how cyanide powder could be packed into capsules. "I remain hopeful, as I always have, that this case so we'll see a resolution. We'll see charges and justice will prevail" he said.
