North Carolina Man Remains Behind Bars Over Alleged Poisoning of Wife and Daughter with Eye Drops
Prosecutors allege that Hunsucker attempted to implicate his wife’s parents, John and Suzie Robinson, in both incidents. The Robinsons, who were present in court, had filed a motion in August requesting the revocation of Hunsucker’s bond, citing concerns over alleged harassment and intimidation. They claim Hunsucker has been following them, harassing them, and attempting to remove them from their grandchildren’s lives.
Initially, the death of Stacy Hunsucker was attributed to natural causes due to reported heart issues. However, suspicions arose when it was revealed that her husband had requested no autopsy and a swift cremation. As an organ donor, tests on her organs and blood later detected the presence of tetrahydrozoline, leading to murder charges against Hunsucker in December 2019. He had been released on a $1.5 million bond at that time.
In 2023, Hunsucker reported to the Mount Holly Police Department that John Robinson had attacked and kidnapped him. According to the police report, Hunsucker claimed he was pistol-whipped, zip-tied, and injected with an unknown substance. Authorities have found no evidence supporting these allegations. Prosecutors argue that Hunsucker fabricated the incident to frame the Robinsons and divert attention from his own actions.
In addition to first-degree murder and insurance fraud charges related to his wife’s death, Hunsucker now faces new charges connected to his daughter’s alleged poisoning and the harassment of his in-laws. These include four counts of intimidation of a witness and four counts of obstruction of justice. While he was granted a $25,000 bond for these new charges, the judge noted that he would remain in custody due to the severity of the allegations and the revocation of his previous bond.
“The poisoning of his daughter was once again done with an attempt to implicate Mr. and Mrs. Robinson in the death of his wife and remove the Robinsons from the lives of his daughters,” the motion to revoke Hunsucker’s bond stated.
The Robinsons have expressed relief at the court’s decision to keep Hunsucker detained, emphasizing their concerns for their safety and the well-being of their grandchildren. The case remains ongoing as prosecutors continue to build their case against Hunsucker.
AND! WHILE OUT ON BOND FOR HIS WIFE’S MURDER….
Hunsucker, charged with fatally poisoning his wife with eye drops in 2018, pleaded not guilty to felony arson on for allegedly setting a medical helicopter on fire. Joshua Hunsucker, accused of igniting a syringe pump mid-flight on November 26, 2019, forced the Atrium Health helicopter to make an emergency landing at a car dealership on Independence Boulevard in Charlotte.
Hunsucker was charged with felony property damage to Atrium Health, posting bond shortly after his arrest. At the time, he was already out on bond awaiting trial for the alleged murder of his wife, Stacy Robinson Hunsucker. Just weeks after the helicopter incident, he was taken back into custody and formally charged with her murder.
