...family in Yonkers, N.Y., last week, Diane Elsroth, 23, complained of feeling ill. Her solicitous companion, Michael Notarnicola, also 23, brought her two capsules of Extra-Strength Tylenol from what he said was a previously unopened bottle purchased a week earlier by his mother.

Neighbors say that Marlene's parents, now in their 70s, dread the possible reopening of the case. They still reside in Hanford, though the house they lived in at the time of their daughter's death has long since been torn down. The memories have been harder to demolish. "The sad thing is that it keeps coming back," says Marlene's brother Walter Jr. "We have not been allowed the time to heal." And the end is still not in sight...
