Alleged Killer Dentist James Craig: ‘Is Arsenic Detectable in Autopsy’
In the latest update on a disturbing crime case from Aurora, Colorado, 45-year-old dentist James Craig faces charges of first-degree murder for allegedly poisoning his wife, Angela Craig, using cyanide and an ingredient commonly found in eyedrops.
Court documents reveal that Craig reportedly used cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, a decongestant found in eyedrops, to end his wife’s life. The shocking revelation has not only devastated the local community but also attracted national media attention.
According to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, James Craig is charged with first-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence. He’s currently being held on a $10 million cash bond.
Investigation documents expose a chilling timeline of events. In the days leading up to Angela’s death, Craig allegedly purchased cyanide and arsenic, a potent poison. He is suspected of adding the lethal concoction to his wife’s protein shakes. Craig reportedly used a public computer at his dental practice, Summerbrook Dental, to search for subjects such as “How many grams of pure arsenic will kill a human,” “How to make poison,” “Is Arsenic Detectable in Autopsy,” and “how to make a murder look like a heart attack.”
The affidavit further claims that James Craig purchased the poison on Amazon, one of the world’s largest online marketplaces. This detail raises significant questions about the sale and distribution of potentially lethal substances online.
In March, Angela Craig was taken to the hospital due to severe headaches and dizziness. Her health condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to her being declared medically brain-dead and taken off life support. The Aurora Police began investigating her “suspicious death” and, upon discovering she was poisoned, arrested James Craig on suspicion of murder.
Further insight into the case suggests a turbulent marriage marked by James Craig’s infidelity. It is reported that Angela wanted to leave her husband, but he “always convinced her to stay.” While his wife was hospitalized, Craig allegedly met with a woman named Karin Cain, exchanging intimate and sexually explicit emails with her. Cain, who had no knowledge of Craig’s marital status, expressed regret about her involvement with him in an exclusive interview with ABC News.
Craig’s financial situation also raises concerns. Detective Bobbi Olson suggested money may have been another motive for Angela Craig’s murder. The couple had life insurance policies worth $3.4 million, and Craig’s dental practice, Summerbrook Dental, was reportedly struggling.
The defense, however, painted a different picture, arguing that the couple’s relationship was affectionate and the dental practice was profitable. They also raised the question of whether the poison was intended for Angela Craig or for James Craig himself, noting his previous suicide attempt.
This chilling case sheds light on the unseen struggles within seemingly perfect middle-class lives. As Craig awaits his trial, the public and media continue to watch with bated breath, hoping for justice in Angela Craig’s tragic death. The legal proceedings for this case will undoubtedly serve as a stark reminder of the grim reality that can lurk beneath the surface of everyday life.
