Dentist Was Having Affair as He Poisoned Wife to Death, Cops Reveal

A Colorado dentist accused of fatally poisoning his wife had been trading “intimate” and “sexually explicit” emails with an orthodontist in Austin, Texas, who had flown into town to see him while his spouse was sick in the hospital, according to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by The Daily Beast.

James Toliver Craig had a canister of deadly potassium cyanide delivered to his office two days before 43-year-old Angela Craig died of suspected cyanide poisoning, according to the affidavit, which reveals disturbing new details about the days before the mother of six’s murder.

Craig had searched online for “buy Oleander,” a poisonous plant, “how many grams of pure arsenic will kill a human,” and “Is Arsenic Detectable in Autopsy?” and accessed an article titled: “6 Deadly ‘Undetectable’ Poisons (and How to Detect Them),” the affidavit states, noting that a shipment of arsenic had been delivered to Craig’s house on March 4. (Craig also ordered $330 worth of oleander from a scientific research company, which was intercepted by police, it says.)
