The Role of Rack Jobbers in the Tylenol Murders
This chapter explores the distribution of Tylenol by rack jobbers as a possible explanation for the large number of cyanide-laced Tylenol bottles found in Chicago area stores. It discusses how rack jobbers could have restocked the display shelves of numerous stores with tampered Tylenol capsules, suggesting that the killer may have been a gainfully employed rack jobber. The chapter also highlights the implications of this theory and the potential oversight by authorities in pursuing the lone citizen theory.
