迷离悬案：止痛药谋杀事件（2025）

because only then could they believably say
外面有个疯子
that there was one madman
把掺了毒的泰诺放上了货架
who put the poisoned Tylenol on store shelves himself.
如果有更多受污染的药瓶
If there are more bottles,
如果有问题的药瓶 出现在更大的地理范围内
if those bottles are in a wider geographic area,
那么强生公♥司♥的说法就会站不住脚
then Johnson & Johnson's story starts to break down.
今天 强生公♥司♥迅速采取了行动
Today, the company moved quickly to recall
在全国召回超过二十五万瓶药
more than a quarter million bottles nationwide.
这项调查开展过程中的一大问题是
One of the great problems with the way this investigation went forward
大部分调查都由强生公♥司♥完成
is that the company did most of the investigating,
尽管他们似乎有充分的理由
even though they seemed to have every reason
隐瞒药品受污染的程度
to hide the extent of the contamination problems.
强生公♥司♥宣布在全国召回泰诺后
When Johnson & Johnson announced the nationwide recall of Tylenol,
几乎所有被召回的药瓶 都由强生公♥司♥进行检测
Johnson & Johnson themselves did nearly all of the testing of the bottles.
我们设立了专门的实验室 检测泰诺胶囊
We set up special laboratories to test Tylenol capsules
检测是否还有氰化物
to detect other cyanide poisonings.
只有非常少量的药瓶被污染
that very few of these bottles were shown to be contaminated.
我们和食品药品监督管理局
More than eight million capsules
以及其他机构 检测了超过八百万颗胶囊
have been tested by us, the FDA, and other agencies.
只在其中的八瓶 共75颗胶囊中
Fewer than 75 capsules, eight bottles,
发现了氰化物 它们全都是从芝加哥地区召回的
all in the Chicago area, have been found to contain cyanide.
那些努力 全都是由强生公♥司♥的人发起的
It was all initiated by the people from Johnson & Johnson.
我对他们赞不绝口
I could never say enough good about 'em.
我从没见过任何一家公♥司♥ 像麦克尼尔实验室的人一样
I've never seen any company come forward with law enforcement people
对执法人员如此坦诚、如此配合
and cooperate, uh, the way the McNeil Lab people have.
你会让嫌疑人调查自己吗？
Would you let a suspect perform their own investigation?
不会 他们肯定会偏袒自己 你就不可能知道真♥相♥
No. There's gonna be a lot of bias there, and you're not gonna know.
我相信我们不知道 掺毒药瓶的真正数量
I believe we don't know how many bottles were out there.
我们不知道还有多少人因此而死
We have no idea how many other people died.
我问你
Let me ask you something.
受害者只有七个在12岁到35岁之间的
What are the chances that seven healthy people
身体健康的人 这种事的概率有多大？
between the ages of 12 and 35, they were the only victims?
死了多少老人？
How many old people died?
有多少人在开车的时候
How many people were driving a car,
吃了两颗胶囊 毒性发作 然后撞车了？
took two capsules, and went into seizure and crashed?
可能有更多我们不知道的受害者
There could be more victims to this that we never knew about
因为在正常的尸检毒理学检查中 很少会做氰化物检测
because a cyanide test is very rarely done in a normal autopsy toxicology screen.
如果没有任何理由 怀疑死因与氰化物有关 通常就不会做相关检测
If you don't have any reason to suspect it, it normally isn't done.
老人去世时
In the case of an elderly person,
如果他们吃了泰诺 但没有出现可疑的情况
if they had taken Tylenol and there was nothing suspicious,
就绝不会联想到与泰诺相关
it could absolutely be missed
因为大家通常会觉得那是自然死亡
'cause you would think it was a natural death.
他们本来认定我妈妈死于脑动脉瘤
Originally, my mom's death was labeled as a brain aneurysm.
他们不知道是氰化物导致的
They had no idea that it was cyanide.
只是因为在一个家庭里 出现了三个受害者
It's only because of three victims in one family
他们才无法否认存在严重的问题
that it was hard to deny something was seriously wrong.
所以 我认为
So, to me,
那些证据应该能显示 还有很多瓶药受了污染
the evidence would show that there's many more bottles out there
死亡人数很可能更多
and probably more dead.
因为我们把大部分 召回的药瓶都交了回去
Because we turned over most of those bottles,
所以我们不知道污染的具体情况
we don't know what was tainted there.
他们只检测了其中很小的一部分 把其余的都销毁了
They tested such a tiny, little percentage and destroyed the rest.
强生公♥司♥今天宣布
Johnson & Johnson today announced
正在销毁由经销商和消费者退回的
it is destroying 22 million bottles of the product
两千两百万瓶泰诺
which were returned by distributors and consumers.
我们将要销毁它们 我们聘请了
We're just gonna destroy 'em. We, uh… We have hired…
一家专门做产品销毁的外部公♥司♥
…an outside, uh, firm specializing in product destruction,
目前他们正在处理销毁工作
and they are handling it at the present time.
那些药将会被摧毁 我们保证完成销毁
It's going to be destroyed. That's how we assure it.
它们将在本周内被烧毁
They are being incinerated, uh, this week.
假设我们拿到了所有药瓶
I'm assuming that if we would've gotten all of those bottles,
而没有把它们 交给强生公♥司♥检测和销毁
and it wasn't turned over to Johnson & Johnson to test and destroyed,
我认为我们会在那些瓶子里 找到更多掺毒的胶囊
I think we would've found a lot more poisoned capsules in these bottles.
只有大屠♥杀♥凶手 才会想要销毁所有证据
Only a mass murderer would want to destroy all the evidence.
如果他们有严肃追责的想法
If you're serious about prosecuting somebody,
就不会销毁数百万颗 涉及刑事案件的胶囊
you don't destroy millions of capsules that are involved in a criminal case.
他们的行为似乎印证了
You're behaving in a way that seems to implicate you
他们跟谋杀案有牵连
in the murders themselves.
强生公♥司♥的詹姆斯·伯克 我们对你深表钦佩
Jim Burke of Johnson & Johnson, you have our deepest admiration.
詹姆斯·伯克最终获颁总统自♥由♥勋章
James Burke would eventually receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom,
美国政♥府♥颁给平民的最高荣誉
the highest civilian honor that the United States gives.
里根总统说伯克不仅把生意做得很好
President Reagan said it was more than just good business,
还把伯克描述为…
describing Burke as…
在最近这段时间里体现了
Someone who in recent days has lived up to the very highest ideals
企业责任、临危不乱的最高理想
of corporate responsibility and grace under pressure.
伯克貌似开放坦诚
And Burke, while seen as open and honest,
但实际上 他经营的这家公♥司♥ 非常封闭隐秘
in fact ran the company to be very closed and very secretive.
对这个案子的调查 从一开始就把强生公♥司♥
Johnson & Johnson was crossed off the list of suspects
从嫌疑人名单上划掉了
from the get-go in this case.
此案至今悬而未决
It remains unsolved.
它之所以成为悬案 是不是因为官方从未考虑过
Is it unsolved because Johnson & Johnson was really never considered
强生公♥司♥ 对这些中毒案负有任何责任？
to be responsible in any way for these poisonings?
对于这个问题 我们根本无法回答
That's a question that we simply do not have the answer for.
在联邦监狱服刑十年后
After ten years on the inside,
詹姆斯·刘易斯在今天获释
James Lewis was released from federal prison today,
他是唯一一个跟危及了整个国家的 那桩罪案相关的人
the only person ever connected to the crime that victimized the nation.
重获自♥由♥的感觉如何？
How does it feel to be a free man?
1995年 詹姆斯·刘易斯出狱
In 1995, James Lewis is released from prison.
刘易斯先生 你跟那些中毒案有关吗？
Did you have anything at all to do with the poisoning of those people?
刘易斯先生…
Mr. Lewis…
他去了马萨诸塞州的剑桥市
He leaves for Cambridge, Massachusetts,
跟他妻子莉安团聚
where he goes to join his wife, Leann.
后来他就沉寂了
And then he goes quiet.
之后的十年 没有人有詹姆斯·刘易斯的任何消息
Nobody really hears anything about James Lewis for another ten years.
十年后 他以强♥奸♥嫌疑人的身份 重新出现在了公众视野中
At which point, then he re-emerges as a rape suspect.
2004年7月
In July 2004,
剑桥市东部一栋公♥寓♥大楼里 有一个女人
a woman in a condominium complex in East Cambridge
最初由她父亲报告失踪了
was reported initially missing by her dad,
他因为一直无法联♥系♥上她 于是报了警
who called the police after not being able to make contact with her.
那位爸爸去了他女儿的公♥寓♥ 发现他女儿非常痛苦
The dad went to the apartment, found his daughter in distress.
她受了巨大的惊吓 精神错乱
She was suffering from shock. She was disoriented.
她身体不舒服 随后被送去了当地医院
She was sick, and she was subsequently taken to a local hospital.
我们可以根据当时所做的 性侵犯检查包的结果得出结论
We can conclude from the results of the sexual assault kit that was performed,
她的子♥宫♥颈有外伤
she had trauma to her cervix.
手腕有勒痕
There was ligature marks around her wrists.
她的嘴唇非常干燥 严重开裂
Her lips were, like, literally so dry and cracked.
几乎像是某种毒药造成的灼伤
It was almost from a burn, from some type of poison.
她的尿样里有乙醇和丙酮
And the urine sample had ethanol and acetone in it.
检查结果跟她描述的 在那间公♥寓♥里发生的事吻合
The results were consistent with her story of what had transpired in that house.
根据她在医院所做的陈述 她的邻居
Statement that she gave at the hospital is that her neighbor
往她脸上喷了东西 把她拖进了他的公♥寓♥
sprayed something in her face, and he pulled her into his apartment.
她说那东西让她感到灼痛 她被强行灌了某种液体
She said it burned, and she was force-fed some type of liquid.
那让她反复失去意识
It made her go in and out of consciousness.
她记得他压在了她身上
She remembers him getting on top of her.
她记得自己被袭击了
She remembers being assaulted.
她被关了一夜
She's kept overnight,
对所发生的事几乎没有记忆
and she has very little memory of what had happened.
那个邻居是詹姆斯·刘易斯
That neighbor turned out to be James Lewis.
当我知道他就是 跟1980年代芝加哥泰诺案有关的
When I was told it was James Lewis from the Tylenol business in Chicago
詹姆斯·刘易斯 知道有个如此危险的
from the 1980s, it was pretty disturbing to learn
尾随作案者住在我们市里 而我们却毫不知情
that we had such a dangerous predator living in the city
那让我非常不安
and we didn't know about it.
我们拘留了他
We took him into custody.
他被控六项罪名
He was charged with six crimes,
袭击、殴打、下药、下毒
assault and battery, drugging a person, poisoning a person,
绑♥架♥和性侵犯
kidnapping, and sexual assault.
我没有绑♥架♥她
I did not kidnap her.
没有证据证明我曾跟她共处过
There was no evidence that I had ever been with her
或以任何方式触碰过她 连握手都没有
or touched her in any way, shape, or form, not even shaking hands.
我们没有采集到他的DNA样本
We didn't get any of his DNA.
在她身上或她体内 都没有采集到他的DNA样本
