Connecticut Woman Charged With Attempted Murder in Alleged Antifreeze Poisoning

Lab tests plus digital forensics underpin the case ahead of a Thursday court appearance.

Overview

  • Kristen Hogan, 33, was arrested in Ridgefield and charged with two counts of attempted murder and interfering with an officer.
  • Police say wine from her estranged husband's refrigerator tested positive for ethylene glycol after he was hospitalized, placed in the ICU, and put on dialysis.
  • Investigators cite searches on Hogan’s phone about lethal doses of toxic chemicals, a Aug. 7 alert that her phone connected to his home Wi‑Fi, and her alleged admissions.
  • Detectives say she also tampered with iced tea, and the couple’s child was hospitalized in late September with symptoms similar to the father’s.
  • Hogan is held on a $1 million bond as the case moves toward pretrial proceedings with a court date set for Oct. 9 in Danbury.
