Colorado Dentist Poisons Wife

The dentist, James Toliver Craig, 45, is the key suspect in the death of his wife and is charged with murder in the first degree. Craig had six children with his wife, who allegedly suffered terrible headaches ending in brain death, as stated by the detectives last weekend, reported Law and Crime.

Information from the Aurora Police Department's Facebook page states that Craig was taken in for questioning in the early hours of Sunday morning. A few days before, he drove his wife, 43, to the hospital mentioned in the records.

Details were shared by the cops about the incident on which the charges are based. Last Wednesday at 8:45 pm, the victim complained about terrible headaches and dizziness.

Things turned for the worse when the wife arrived at the hospital. Her condition went downhill fast, and she needed to get strapped to a ventilator in an intensive care unit (ICU). It did not take long to see the patient getting braindead a while later, cited Heavy.

Brain Dead Wife Identified

Initially, officials had not named the victim after Craig's Summerbrook Dental practice website mentioned her as Angela, but it had been taken down for a while. The outlet Law&Crime searched the Wayback Machine site, and the website states that the Craigs are proud parents of six kids.

The accused, Dr. Jim Craig, finished his undergrad work at the Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, and his dentistry degree at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. He is an associate professor from the Missouri University of Dentistry, teaching clinical dentistry and other courses. Angela and Jim like the outdoors.

More research on the suspect shows that his practice has many patients getting his services as a top, not dentist. Most of his patients came from Texas, California, New York, England, and Wyoming. Other patients not so far will be from Aurora, Englewood, Denver, Parker, and other places.

More inquiry into the death of Angela Craig had disclosed that a poison killed her.

Aurora Police Division Chief Mark Hildebrand issued a statement that would disclose what happened to Mrs. Craig. He adds that it was suspicious as more things did not add up for the investigators about how she got sick and the manner of dying.

The Major Crimes Homicide Unit has dug into the case of the Craigs that was not simple as foul play. They called it heinous for the intent, with complexity, and how the murder is very planned. Such work by the crime unit in seeking justice for the victim.

Dr. Craig's arrest for murders shocked the locals who had his dental services. One of his patients, for 18 years, could not believe what they found out. A few doubted the charge and would not believe he was guilty.
