James Craig: Colorado dentist asked co-workers to avoid speaking to cops after they found poison he used to murder his wife Angela
AURORA, COLORADO: The sensational murder of Angela Craig, 43, has the nation shocked after her disgraced husband James Craig, 45, allegedly killed her by slowly poisoning her with potassium cyanide. Police found the lunatic dentist made several Google searches on his work computer, which included, "Top 5 Undetectable Poisons" and several orders of the lethal drug. Doctors allegedly grew wary of Angela's mysterious symptoms during her several hospital visits complaining of feeling nauseous and dizzy.
However, police unraveled the callous tragedy after a whistleblower from James' office discovered the chemical compounds he might have used to kill her before the alleged poison killer tried to cover his evil act by guilt-tripping them not to speak to police unless subpoenaed and claiming there were things they "didn't know." The father-of-five even tried to use his children as an accessory saying how he had to tell them that their mother was not going to wake up and that they had to bid her a final goodbye, while he was allegedly responsible for their mother's sorrowful death.

Angela died on March 18, after first feeling sick on March 6, followed by her two visits to the hospital before being declared brain dead and removed from life support. Police arrested James, and charged him with first-degree murder. Moreover, a bombshell affidavit revealed that the Colorado dentist had an affair with a Texas orthodontist who he flew to his place while his wife was battling for her life in hospital. Further investigation revealed, the 45-year-old had multiple affairs, gambling and porn addiction, and splurged all his money leaving the family financially struggling during the pair's 16 years of marriage. Angela's sister revealed that the mother-of-six was practically aware of James' shameful act and was planning to leave him but he always managed to talk her out of it.
Shocking text messages revealed how James gave his employees tales of lies when they discovered he was poisoning Angela. When a package was delivered to his office, a co-worker, who opened the box found a biohazard sticker and a canister that was marked, 'Potassium Cyanide'. When she googled the chemical substance she realized its symptoms were similar to what Angela was experiencing. She informed James' business partner of her shocking discovery and when questioned, he first claimed it was a ring for his wife before admitting it was poison. He later fibbed it was part of a game of suicide 'chicken' the pair played. "James said he ordered the Potassium Cyanide but didn't think she would actually take it. At that point, Ryan [Redfearn] told James to stop talking and get a lawyer," a source told Daily Mail.

He claimed his wife was suicidal and confessed to drugging her before but only so that she couldn't stop him from taking his own life. This revealed another twisted factor about the case, where days before Angela's death, she allegedly messaged James saying, she was "reliving the past," which her sister said was in reference to the time she was drugged by James in 2017. When Angela grew suspicious of her husband she questioned him saying, she felt as though she'd been "drugged" again. Disturbingly, he replied: "Given our history, I know that must be triggering. Just for the record, I didn't drug you." James' business partner disclosed the shocking discovery of poison to a nurse during a visit check up Angela, who then informed the police and investigation was launched.
