Dentist accused of murdering wife with poisoned protein shakes
- Angela Craig died in March 2023 after experiencing unexplained health issues that led to her being hospitalized multiple times.
- Prosecutors claim James Craig poisoned his wife’s protein shakes with arsenic, attempting to make her death appear as a suicide.
- James Craig's trial is set to begin, with allegations of deceit and manipulation surrounding his wife’s tragic passing.
In March 2023, a Colorado woman named Angela Craig died following unexplained medical symptoms that led to multiple hospital visits. Just days before her death, Angela confronted her husband, James Craig, about his lack of support, alleging he mischaracterized her mental state to medical staff as suicidal. Prosecutors now allege that James poisoned her protein shakes with arsenic, culminating in her death, and he attempted to fabricate circumstances to suggest Angela had taken her own life. After her passing, suspicions surrounding James intensified as he reportedly sought to start a new life amid financial woes and alleged infidelity, casting doubt on his intentions regarding his wife’s health. Investigators uncovered attempts by James to mislead authorities, including plotting to harm a lead investigator in the case and soliciting inmates to provide false testimony to implicate Angela in her own demise. A judge allowed for video evidence of Angela's confrontation with James to be presented at trial to counter any defense claims that she was the one who poisoned herself. This case has drawn attention due to the complexity surrounding the couple’s 23-year marriage and the tragic circumstances that culminated in Angela’s untimely death. James faces a trial not only for murder but also for various charges linked to his attempts to deceive law enforcement and manipulate legal proceedings as he navigated the fallout from his wife's alleged poisoning. Angela's tragic story continues as family members express their grief and horror over the events that unfolded leading to her death, with calls for justice for both Angela and her children, who are now left without their mother.
