Every parent has worried about their children hauling home tainted candy on Halloween, but not everyone knows where that fear originated. On Halloween in 1974, an 8-year-old boy named Timothy O\\u2019Bryan was granted one pick from his basket before bed \\u2014 and soon after downing the contents of his Pixy Stix, he went limp in his father\\u2019s arms. The investigation threw parents into a panic, prompting tons of candy to be taken to sheriff\\u2019s offices for inspection. As horrifying as the case appeared to be at first, what police uncovered was far more sinister than anyone had imagined.
