A Colorado dentist, James Craig, faces trial for allegedly poisoning his wife, Angela, with arsenic, cyanide, and tetrahydrozoline. Arrested in March 2023, Craig’s actions followed an affair and suspicious online searches like “is arsenic detectable in an autopsy?” Angela died on March 18, 2023, after hospital visits for symptoms including vertigo. Prosecutors allege Craig poisoned her protein shakes, though his defense claims no direct evidence exists. Toxicology confirmed cyanide and tetrahydrozoline in Angela’s system. Craig’s dental partner raised concerns after Craig ordered potassium cyanide without medical justification. Angela’s daughters provided
emotional testimony, with one claiming Craig asked her to create a fake video to implicate Angela in requesting the toxins. A letter allegedly from Craig detailed staging the video using a dark web browser and prepaid cards. Angela’s family recalled a prior incident where Craig drugged her during a suicide attempt. Craig, who pleaded not guilty to charges including first-degree murder, also faces allegations tied to an affair with orthodontist Karin Cain. Angela, a loving mother of six and active church member, is mourned by her family, who seek justice through a GoFundMe campaign for her children.
