In March 2023, Angela Craig died after being poisoned over a period of time in Aurora, Colorado. Her husband, James Craig, was later convicted of deliberately administering toxic substances in a calculated effort to end her life.
The poisoning occurred over time, with toxic substances administered in consumables within the home. No single violent incident occurred, but rather a series of exposures leading to fatal toxicity.
Investigators uncovered that Craig had purchased arsenic and potassium cyanide prior to his wife’s death. Digital evidence revealed searches related to poisoning and undetectable toxins. Staff at his dental practice reported suspicious deliveries, which helped trigger the investigation. Toxicology confirmed the presence of lethal substances, linking the poisoning directly to Craig’s actions.
