Some background on the tylenol and other tampering murders.

Note: there were two Tylenol tampering cases, the first in 1982 shows no evidence of the victims being anything other than random.

This is the one that I was thinking of when I posted my original thoughts:

in 1986, Stella Nickell of Washington state killed her husband Bruce with cyanide-laced Excedrin in order to collect on his life insurance. In an attempt to cover her tracks, she also killed a complete stranger by placing three packages of tampered Excedrin and Anacin capsules on the shelves of three stores. One of the packages was purchased by Sue Snow, who became Nickell's other victim. Nickell was sentenced to 90 years in prison. In 1993, Joseph Meling, also of Washington state, was convicted of murdering two people and trying to poison his wife. Meling tampered with capsules in six Sudafed packages, five of which he placed on store shelves. The sixth he gave his wife Jennifer, who survived the poisoning. Unfortunately, Kathleen Daneker and Stan McWhorter did not survive taking the tampered-with capsules they had purchased. The other three packages were recovered.
