The Cyanide Conspiracy: The Mysterious Excedrin Murders

It's June 11, 1986, Washington, America. Time now is 6 in the morning. A 40-year-old woman named Susan Snow is getting ready to go to work.

At the same time, her husband, who was leaving for work, hears a voice saying, Bye Susan. Susan also says bye. After half an hour of his departure, 15-year-old Hayley, who is in school, comes out to take a bath.

While taking a bath in a room, she hears a loud sound of something falling from the hall. But Hayley didn't pay much attention to the sound of water in the shower. After taking a bath and coming out, it's 6.40 am, but her mother hasn't said bye yet.

By now, she would have said bye and left for work. Hayley, who thought she might have left without saying bye, hears a sound of water falling from a pipe for a long time. Hayley, who saw the sound coming from another bathroom in the house, is shocked to see the sink full of water.

Below that, she sees her mother, Susan, fainting and lying down. She goes close to her mother and looks at Susan. Her body is not moving at all, but there is only breath.

Susan seems to be sleeping with her eyes open, but her fingers are one with hers. Hayley, who was confused to see what was happening, immediately calls 911. The ambulance arrives in no time.

Susan is taken to the hospital. So what happened to Susan? What happened after this? In the 1980s, it was an interesting case that shocked the entire American population.

The doctors are trying hard to save Susan, who was admitted to the hospital. But unfortunately, they couldn't save her. Yes, Susan is dying.

Her family members couldn't believe that Susan died so suddenly. However, the wounds on Susan's back may have caused her to fall in the bathroom when she went to take a shower. Or she may have died of shock when she turned on the bathroom switch.

Or this stroke, heart attack, something like this may be the reason. At the time when everyone was confused, Susan's autopsy report came out and shocked everyone. So what was in that report? When Susan was undergoing an autopsy, the doctors who noticed the strange smell coming from her body found out that it was the smell of bitter almond.

The smell of that bitter almond would only match with the smell of a single chemical. That is cyanide. So the shocking truth that Susan died because of eating cyanide is revealed through the autopsy report.

This news shocked Susan's family. Immediately, this matter was informed to the police. The police also started their investigation.

But like a circle without a corner, the police, who had no clue about who the killer was, did not know at that time. This case started with a headache. Likewise, the lead is going to get the same headache.

Yes, on one side, Susan's last rites are starting to take place. On the other side, Sarah, Susan's twin sister, had a terrible headache since that morning. Here, in everyone's house, how would it be normal with Paracetamol? Likewise, they are going to use a headache tablet in Susan's house.

Why is that? Usually, she and Susan use the same brand of headache tablets. Sarah, who went to the kitchen from Susan's house, opened the cupboard and took the tablet bottle from there. When she took it and touched her hand, the tablet called Excedrine fell into a red capsule.

Sarah, who saw that, usually, Susan would not use this tablet in the capsule form. For a second, she hesitated to use it. Because, before Susan got down, she had a terrible headache.

So, I remember that Haley said that she had used this tablet. So, maybe, there was cyanide in this tablet. Even through this, cyanide could have mixed with her body.

Sarah began to have a subconscious feeling. How is that? As soon as she took it, Susan would have died because of this tablet. Also, if Sarah suspects that cyanide is mixed in it, there is a reason for that, Friends.

That is, in 1982, that is, 5 years before this incident, 7 people in Chicago died in a coma. When they were investigating the reason, they found out that cyanide was mixed in the tablet. So, Sarah, who thought very cleverly that someone would have mixed cyanide in this tablet, immediately informed the police about that tablet.

The police also immediately sent the tablet to the forensic lab to test it. As soon as they tested it, Sarah's suspicion was correct. Of the 56 tablets in that bottle, it is confirmed that cyanide was mixed in a total of 9 tablets.

Now, everyone who heard about this incident was very shocked. Immediately, the police started inquiring the manufacturer of the tablet. In such an inquiry, it is said that the company is supplying this tablet to many countries.

But, this incident has only happened in Washington. So, there is definitely no reason for this. But, this is the work of someone else.

In fact, the police, who suspected that this person might be a member of Susan's family, started inquiring their family members. At that time, the only person whose relatives showed their hands was that person. There is no one else.

The person who said bye to Susan in the intro was Susan's husband, Paul Bepking, There are two reasons One, Paul is a truck driver. But, Susan is an assistant vice president working in a bank. Also, she is a bank employee who earns a lot.

So, maybe he didn't like Susan earning more than him. That's why he killed her. Or, Susan is Paul's third wife.

And, Paul has an ex-lover. Maybe, after Paul got married, he might have been dating that ex-lover. That's why, they might have had a problem and decided to kill her.

Because, it's only been 6 months since they got married, Susan died like this. So, something is fishy. Because everyone suspected Paul, the police arrested him and started inquiring.

When they inquired, what Paul said was, Excedrin is not only a headache pill, it's also a painkiller. So, not only Susan, I have been using this brand of tablets for many days for regular body pain. But, recently, I was the one who asked Susan to switch to this capsule.

Even, the day Susan died, in the morning, he said that he went to work only after taking 2 tablets. The police who asked this, said that he also took the tablet that day. Then, why didn't he take the 9 cyanide mixed tablet? How is this possible? So, they took him to polygraph him At the same time, using the lot number of the tablet bottle used by Susan, all the stocks in that number were seized from all the shops.

Because, how can we buy paracetamol tablets from any shop without a prescription? Similarly, there, this Excedrin tablet can be bought from any shop So, whoever has already bought this tablet, they should not use it. In that, the news that cyanide is mixed with paracetamol starts spreading very sensationally. Just think about it.

For cough or headache, the paracetamol, called dolo 650, there is cyanide in this tablet. If there is a news that no one should eat, how will it be? So, the whole country is starting to change rapidly. Similarly, all the people who heard that news are starting to get very shocked.

Similarly, to a 42-year-old woman named Stella Nichol. This news gives a lot of shock. Why? What happened? She asked, did she eat that tablet? She didn't eat it.

Her husband did. So, what happened to that husband? Stella came to the police and said, Sir, my husband died a week ago. Even in his autopsy report, his cause of death was natural causes.

It was a natural death. But, before he died, he took 4 tablets. I just came to know about this news.

So, I have a doubt that my husband died because he took those tablets. So, his case needs to be investigated. The police, who accepted her request, immediately started the investigation.

The police asked Stella, does the tablet bottle that your husband used still exist at home? Can we check it? She asked. Stella said, yes, it exists. Please check it.

The police went to Stella's house and took those tablet bottles that her husband used. To test it, they sent it to the forensic lab. After testing it, there were cyanide-mixed tablets in those Also, her husband tested Bruce's blood sample again.

There were cyanide traces in it. Which means, Stella's doubt is correct. 52-year-old Bruce died because he took those tablets.

Here, you might have doubt, friends . Then, why did the doctors who did the autopsy of Bruce change his COD which is cause of death? There is a reason for that, Friends . Generally, the smell of cyanide can be detected only by 60 out of 100 people.

So, the reason is the same talent as Susan's autopsy doctors. But, the family of Susan has nothing to do with it. Not even a little bit.

Which means, Susan's husband is not the culprit. Yes, in the polygraph test taken by him, it is confirmed So, the police are releasing him from this case. Okay, if he didn't murder, who is that killer? If the killer is randomly murdering, what is his motive? Why is he doing this? What if he is a serial killer? If so, who is his next victim? Like this, many questions are coming to If he is randomly putting cyanide in a tablet and murdering, definitely, the killer might be a chemist or a medical field member.

What will happen next?

People are getting confused. So, what happened next?

Did the police find the killer? Who is that killer?

You can't even imagine what will happen There are many shocking twists in this part 2
