While there is so much here, it seems like so much is still missing.

For years, she didn’t read any of these articles or knew most of them existed.

It was her mother’s hope to give her kids a normal childhood, away from headlines warning of fear, poisoning, and death.

It is here on Kasia’s desk that those headlines are displayed, a reminder of the tragedy that tore through her family, along with the puzzle pieces she is determined to put together.

Each time Kasia flips through these files, she discovers something new. Despite that, she also sees clearly what isn’t there: her story.

It’s something Kasia thinks about every day. She was not on a mission to crack the case, but to find answers of her own in the days leading up to the 40th anniversary.

Her family members made up three of the seven victims of the Tylenol killings.

Within a week, Kasia lost her dad, uncle, and aunt. After decades, she seeks them out in everything she can.
