| 0:00.0 | It was profound. He literally sat up as he was approaching death and said cyanide pills. I did it. Then he said it a second time. And some of the other things that he said in between there, that was what really made my hair stand up. He was just kind of staring down a hallway. And he said, the three Marys should still be here. One of them was so young. And if you've investigated this murder, there were three victims named Mary, and one of them was 12. And one of them was 12. of the entities In today's new episode, we speak with new author Joseph Chabelli about his book that was recently released in February of 2026. |
| 1:08.1 | It's called the Tylenol murders, a father's confession to his son. |
| 1:13.6 | Lance, would you make of this conversation? |
| 1:15.5 | I thought this was a fascinating conversation, and it really exceeded my expectations because we do get individuals on the show or they reach out to us and they have claimed that family members have had somebody close to them |
| 1:28.9 | being responsible for some famous historical crime, be it the Zodiac or the Connecticut River |
| 1:35.7 | Valley Killer. |
| 1:37.0 | We hadn't done any coverage really on the Tylenol murders. |

| 2:18.6 | maybe a year or two ago. And that is really where I became more familiar with the case than ever. |
| 2:24.3 | Yeah, this conversation's great. Joseph's book is really interesting. I mean, like you said, |
| 2:29.5 | we can't really dispute what he's saying because these are personal accounts. I just hope law enforcement |
| 2:34.9 | in the Chicago area will take note of this because I don't know, he could be right. While this is |
| 2:41.0 | a conversation and a story about his father and the Tylenol murders, it also has this underlying |
| 2:46.6 | theme of, hey, if you are the victim of abuse at the hands of your parents, be it your mother or |
