Colorado Dentist Accused of Poisoning Wife Faces New Charges of Plotting Detective’s Murder

James Craig, already charged with killing his wife using cyanide, is now accused of soliciting a fellow inmate to kill a detective and fabricate evidence.

James Craig, a Colorado dentist, is accused of fatally poisoning his wife, Angela Craig, in March 2023 using cyanide and tetrahydrozoline.
New charges allege Craig attempted to solicit a fellow inmate to murder a detective investigating his wife’s death and plant false evidence to suggest Angela’s death was a suicide.
Craig’s lawyer withdrew from the case last month citing professional conflicts, delaying the trial originally set to begin on November 21, 2024.
Investigators uncovered Craig’s extensive online searches for undetectable poisons and evidence of a relationship with another woman while his wife was hospitalized.
Craig has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge, and his next court hearing is scheduled for December 16, 2024.
