Colorado dentist accused of poisoning wife tried to get fellow inmate to plant fake suicide notes: police

James Craig, a dentist accused of killing his wife by poisoning her protein shakes, allegedly tried to bribe a jail inmate into planting fake suicide notes at the couple's residence.

Angela Craig, a 43-year-old mother of six who was married to her husband for 23 years, died in March 2023 of poisoning from cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, the latter a substance found in over-the-counter eye drops, according to the coroner.

Craig is alleged to have bought poisons online just before his wife began to experience symptoms that doctors could not find a cause for. But his lawyers have argued there is no direct evidence that he put poison in his wife’s shakes and have accused Olson of being biased against him.
