Divorce should have been the best option here but for whatever reason, a porn-addict dentist named James Craig decided to murder his wife Angela with poison-laced protein shakes in order to start a new life with his orthodontist lover and now, he’s in trouble with the law.
The details via the Daily Mail;
A Colorado dentist charged with murdering his wife with poison-laced protein shakes sent her text messages in hospital enquiring about her condition and professing his love – even as she told him: ‘That drink you gave me tastes weird.’
James Craig, 45, was arrested in Aurora, Colorado, on Sunday.
His wife Angela, the mother of his six children, died in hospital the day before, having first reported pain and nausea after drinking a protein shake he prepared for her on March 6.
Craig’s mistress – an orthodontist in Texas – sent him worried messages, asking about his wife’s condition. She even flew to Colorado to visit Craig from March 8 to March 10, while his wife was in hospital.
Craig’s charging documents state that their relationship ‘had always been tumultuous.’ She told a confidant several times over their 16-year relationship that she was leaving him, but he always convinced her to stay.
He ‘had multiple affairs with several women,’ the documents state, and told his wife he had been addicted to pornography since he was a teenager.
He admitted to having drugged her five or six years ago, telling her he did it because he wanted to take his own life, and wanted to give himself time to kill himself without her disturbing him.
Craig referenced the incident in a text message to his wife, sent while she was ill.
‘Given our history, I know that must be triggering,’ Craig tells her. ‘Just for the record, I didn’t drug you. I am super worried though. You really looked pale before I left.’
Prosecutors allege that Craig first gave his wife the poison on March 6, in a shake he mixed before their workout.
According to the charging documents, Craig had researched poison on his office computer.
Search terms included: ‘how many grams of pure arsenic will kill a human’; ‘Is Arsenic Detectable in Autopsy’; ‘Top 5 Undetectable Poisons That Show No Signs of Foul Play’; ‘how to make poison,’ and ‘The Top 10 Deadliest Plants (They Can Kill You).’
On March 9, Angela is in hospital. As her symptoms worsen, Craig texts his wife: ‘Man, baby, you’ve got to stop scaring me like this! I love you so much, and I’m not used to all of this excitement!’
At the same time, prosecutors say, Craig’s mistress was visiting him, having flown in from Austin, Texas.
On March 10, with his mistress still in town, Craig texts his wife: ‘I wish I could have stayed longer. I love you and am so glad you seem to be doing better.’
On March 11, he tells his wife: ‘I just work up dreaming about making love to you. I love you and I want you.’
Craig is meanwhile ordering more poison, with a delivery of cyanide dispatched on March 13.
On March 14, she returned home, and accused her husband of trying to poison her, he told a confidant.
On March 16, with Angela’s condition worsening, his mistress emails him, saying she wants to comfort him, but does not want to be there and ‘conceal what I feel for you’.
