Colo. dentist poisoned wife’s protein shakes to start new life with lover: affidavit | New York Post

The Colorado dentist charged with killing his wife allegedly poisoned her so he could start a new life with his alleged lover, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

James Toliver Craig, 45, had flown in his mistress, a Texas orthodontist with whom he had exchanged “sexually explicit” emails, to Denver while the mother of his six children was dying in the hospital, allegedly by his own doing, investigators said in the document.

Craig had searched online for what poisons could kill a person without detection and ordered a canister of toxic potassium cyanide to his office just two days before his 43-year-old wife, Angela Craig, was admitted to the hospital after complaining of dizziness and headaches, according to the affidavit obtained by the Daily Beast.

Angela’s condition rapidly deteriorated after she was admitted last Wednesday and she was placed on a ventilator before being declared brain-dead and then taken off life support on Sunday, police said.

The affidavit paints a picture of what led up to the alleged murder — including a troubled marriage, infidelity, financial problems and even a past incident in which Craig reportedly poisoned Angela.
