Colorado Dentist Accused of Poisoning Wife Faces Trial
Colorado dentist James Craig is set to stand trial for the alleged poisoning of his wife, Angela Craig, who died in March 2023.
Prosecutors claim Craig secretly laced Angela’s protein shakes with cyanide and other toxins while having an affair. Disturbing online searches
like “how to make murder look like a heart attack” were discovered, while Angela, unaware, had Googled symptoms such as vertigo and cold lips.
Angela was hospitalized several times before her death. Suspicion grew when Craig’s colleague reported his order of potassium cyanide
under questionable circumstances. Toxicology reports confirmed she was poisoned. Prosecutors say Craig tried to
frame Angela by asking his daughter to help make a fake video suggesting Angela had ordered the poison herself.
Angela’s daughters delivered emotional testimony, recalling her rapid decline and their father’s
efforts to prevent an autopsy. One shared how Craig discouraged further medical tests, while the
other described caring for her mother in her final days. Both expressed deep heartbreak and confusion.
The case has gained national attention for its chilling details, including Craig’s alleged use of the dark web and past
attempts to drug Angela. Angela is remembered as a beloved mother, church leader, and vibrant member of her community.
