Husband Accused of poisoning Wife with Cyanide and Eye Drops
James Craig is accused of poisoning his wife, Angela Craig, with cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, an ingredient found in over-the-counter eye drops. Angela Craig died in 2023 after a series of hospital visits. Toxicology reports revealed the presence of these substances in her system.
According to police, James Craig purchased various poisons before his wife’s death and administered them thru her protein shakes. Prosecutors allege he also gave her a lethal dose of cyanide while she was hospitalized on March 15, 2023, leading to her being declared brain dead.
Conflicting Accounts Emerge
James Craig’s defense suggests angela Craig may have taken her own life, citing her journal entries that detail marital struggles and his infidelity. One attorney described Angela Craig as “broken” by these circumstances.
Though, James craig’s own account, found on his phone, claims Angela Craig asked him to help her die by poison after he requested a divorce due to his affairs. He stated he agreed to purchase and prepare poisons for her but not to administer them. His “timeline” document suggests she ingested tetrahydrozoline before taking antibiotic capsules he had laced with cyanide. A witness testified that he administered these capsules to Angela Craig at James Craig’s instruction, after wich she became weak and was taken to the hospital.
The lead investigator, Detective Bobbi Olson, testified that James Craig’s timeline contradicted his earlier statements and that he had accused Angela Craig of framing him. James craig is also facing charges for allegedly attempting to hire a fellow inmate to kill Detective Olson.
