When Free Candy Isn't Free
Episode description
Although there have been sporadic stories and urban tales regarding tainted Halloween sweets, genuine occurrences are extremely uncommon. In one well-known incident from 1974, a man in Texas very much on purpose murdered his eight-year-old son by giving his own kids cyanide-laced Pixy Stix, a story we covered last year on Margs & Mayhem. Today, we delve, albeit shallowly, into the tale of one other such candy-tampering incident, leading your mom to tell you to watch out for the razor blades.
