Overview
- Kristen Hogan, 33, was arrested Friday in Ridgefield and charged with two counts of attempted murder and one count of interfering with an officer, with bond set at $1 million.
- Police say she tainted wine and iced tea at her estranged husband's home with ethylene glycol; a seized wine bottle tested positive at the Connecticut Forensic Laboratory.
- The husband was hospitalized with confirmed ethylene glycol poisoning, admitted to the ICU, and placed on dialysis for renal failure.
- Investigators report finding phone searches for monoethylene glycol and cyanide compounds, including queries about how much of the substances could kill someone.
- An affidavit says Hogan admitted mixing the chemical as "payback" during a custody dispute, and detectives noted the couple's child showed similar symptoms and was hospitalized, which Hogan denied was from the drinks.
