Connecticut Mother Charged With Attempted Murder in Alleged Antifreeze Poisoning of Estranged Husband

Police cite a lab‑confirmed ethylene glycol finding alongside an alleged confession during a custody dispute.

Overview

  • Kristen Hogan, 33, was arrested and is being held on a $1 million bond on two counts of attempted murder and one count of interfering with an officer.
  • An arrest affidavit says Hogan told investigators she poured ethylene glycol into a bottle of wine and an iced tea at her estranged partner’s home to make him sick.
  • Detectives seized the wine and the Connecticut Forensic Laboratory reported the sample contained ethylene glycol, the toxic ingredient in antifreeze.
  • Investigators say phone records showed searches about lethal doses of chemicals and that her device connected to the victim’s home Wi‑Fi on a day he was in court.
  • The victim was hospitalized and placed on dialysis in August, and their child was later hospitalized with similar symptoms, while Hogan’s attorney says she will plead not guilty.
