旁白:本故事讲述了1986年发生在美国西雅图郊区的一起离奇谋杀案。一名看似健康的女子苏·斯诺突然死亡,验尸官和助手在验尸过程中闻到一股类似杏仁的气味,怀疑死者死于氰化物中毒。这一发现引发了大规模的调查,警方和FBI介入调查,最终发现苏·斯诺服用的止痛药Excedrin被污染,其中含有氰化物。调查过程中,警方还发现另一名男子布鲁斯·尼科尔也死于氰化物中毒,时间发生在苏·斯诺死亡的三天前。经过深入调查,警方最终锁定凶手为布鲁斯·尼科尔的妻子斯特拉·尼科尔。斯特拉·尼科尔因为不满丈夫戒酒后改变的生活方式,为了获得丈夫的巨额保险金,毒死了丈夫。之后,她又将掺有氰化物的Excedrin放回超市货架,导致苏·斯诺无辜受害。斯特拉·尼科尔最终被判处90年监禁。本案也引发了公众对产品安全问题的关注,以及对产品篡改犯罪的担忧。

On a summer day in 1986, a medical examiner and her assistant stared down at a deceased woman lying on the metal table. Neither of them had ever seen anything like this, the woman appeared to have been completely healthy at the time of her death - she didn't have a stroke, there was no heart attack and there was no sign of a drug overdose. However, this seemingly healthy woman had suddenly collapsed on the floor and been brain dead just minutes later. Just then the assistant took a long deep breath in through her nose, and after she did she looked over at the medical examiner with wide eyes. The medical examiner did the same thing and took a long deep breath in through her nose. They both smelled a very strange odor, and it smelled almost like almonds. The medical examiner could hardly believe it, she'd only heard about something like this happening in movies and detective novels. But that smell meant one thing to her and to the assistant, this deceased woman must have been poisoned with cyanide. And this theory would soon lead to a large scale investigation by local police and the FBI, and what they would find would casue panic across the entire United States.
