Judge Grants Bond for Connecticut Woman Accused of Antifreeze Poisoning

A judge approved release requiring psychiatric evaluation, GPS monitoring, weekly check-ins, no-contact orders.

Overview

  • Kristen Hogan, 33, was arrested by Connecticut State Police and charged with two counts of attempted murder and one count of interfering with an officer.
  • Lab reports detected ethylene glycol in the victim’s blood and in a wine bottle from his home, and he required dialysis after falling ill in early August.
  • An affidavit says Hogan admitted putting ethylene glycol in the wine and a small amount in iced tea, while telling police she intended to make him sick rather than kill him.
  • Investigators cite phone data showing searches for lethal chemicals and activity tied to the victim’s Wi‑Fi; the victim alleged a motive involving home ownership and child custody.
  • The court approved release conditions including GPS monitoring, weekly probation check-ins, no-contact orders and a psychiatric evaluation, allowed home confinement with family in Massachusetts, set Dec. 2 for the next hearing, and issued an order to preserve Ring and Nest camera data.
