Unsolved sodium azide cases as well:

One would hope someone tried cross-matching the personnel records of both institutions at the time.

And this case, which went all the way to the Supreme Court: https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/attempted-poisoning-wasnt-chemical-warfare-court-rules/7450.article

I also recall rumors from one school that a professor's wife suicide using laboratory cyanide was actually a cleverly disguised murder.

And there is the ever-famous mysterious death of Al Cotton, someone who could have potentially won the Nobel Prize in chemistry had he not made so many enemies.  I suspect this one was like Murder on the Orient Express - (spoiler alert) - everyone did it!  Although this one appears to be injuries rather than toxins.  https://www.theeagle.com/news/a_m/professor-cotton-s-death-investigated/article_6ae94cde-757c-5674-a24b-bc7319a73281.html and http://ipbiz.blogspot.com/2007/05/death-of-famous-chemistry-prof-fa.html

A similar case occurred in Omaha, NE in 1978.  Two people died and three others were severely sickened.  Dimethylnitrosamine along with several other chemicals were implicated.

We sometimes forget about the possible malicious use of chemicals in our institutions, but it does happen from time-to-time.  More often than not the malicious use is intended to inflict self-harm but in this disturbing case it was towards a colleague:
