Videos show longtime Tylenol murder suspect James Lewis discussing the crime with undercover agents

This James Lewis drawing depicts a way to use a test tube and paper to fill Tylenol capsules with poison.

In this partially redacted video clip, James Lewis says authorities made a blunder by not focusing on why the Tylenol murderer in one instance placed some poisoned Extra-Strength capsules into a bottle of regular-strength Tylenol. Lewis learned for the first time during the interview that the FBI had figured out the exact postmark. The video shows FBI Special Agent Roy Lane, who had come out of retirement to help with the sting, sketching out a calendar for Lewis and counting back three days from Oct. 1, landing on Sept. 29. That was the day all seven victims swallowed the poisoned capsules.That timeline means Lewis would have been writing the letter before news of the poisonings became public on Sept. 30, 1982.

“I see your quandary,” he responds. Pausing often, he continues: “It just seems like I worked on it for three days because that’s the way I usually do things but, um — it’s what I told you but it’s impossible to have happened because — until you pointed that out I had no idea that — I’ve been telling myself for 25 years that I worked on it for three days and I don’t know — it’s impossible for me to have done that.

When Lane notes that, given Lewis’ timeline, Lewis “would have written the letter the same day they were dying,” Lewis says: “Yeah, well that didn’t happen. memory. And, for 25 years, if you’d have asked me that and hadn’t pointed that out, I would have stuck to that under oath. I would have sworn to it — three days — it’s impossible.
