Authorities examined thousands of leads in connection with the poisonings, but never made an arrest. However, a few people investigators considered key suspects or persons of interest were identified publicly.

In the weeks and months after seven people in the Chicago area died after ingesting Tylenol laced with cyanide in 1982, federal, state, and local police examined thousands of leads in connection with the poisonings, but never made an arrest. However, a few people investigators considered key suspects or persons of interest were identified publicly..Roger Arnold, 48, was a dock worker at the Jewel in Melrose Park.

During a search of Arnold's apartment on October 11, 1982, police found five guns, including a .30 caliber handgun, a rifle, and ammunition. They also found books on explosives and poisons, including a copy of"The Poor Man's James Bond," which describes how to make potassium cyanide. Laboratory vials, beakers, test tubes, and a white granulated powder were also observed.

Police said Arnold admitted to possessing cyanide in his home at one time, but none was uncovered during the search. Arnold's wife spent time undergoing psychiatric care at Central DuPage Hospital, the same hospital poisoning victim Mary Reiner gave birth at just weeks before her death. She purchased the contaminated pills at Franks Foods, across the street from the hospital.

Arnold refused to take a lie detector test, but maintained he had no connection to the Tylenol murders.
