Delaware Woman Admits She Poisoned Husband's Steroids With Antifreeze

A Delaware woman was charged with murder on Thursday, after she admitted to poisoning her husband's steroid injections.

44-year-old Jamie Baker received first-degree homicide charges this week for allegedly injecting antifreeze into the bottles of steroids her husband James D. Baker, Jr., used.

Delaware State Police told the Delaware State News that 42-year-old James Baker was found dead in a bedroom of the family's home in the 2000 block of Bryn Zion Road on September 16, 2013.

Law enforcement officials carried out an investigation that lasted nearly six months concerning the curious Baker case, after a medical official performing postmortem tests ruled the death a homicide.

Coroners told NBC Philadelphia that James died from poisoning of Ethylene Glycol - one of the key ingredients found in antifreeze.

James Baker reportedly purchased liquid steroids on the Internet in June, and planned to split the drugs with a friend. James' plan was to store the steroids in a toolbox, NBC reported.

Police reported finding pills, syringes and a handful of the liquid steroids, all of which contained Ethylene Glycol, tests from a state laboratory revealed.

After a search of the Baker home on Thursday, police said Jamie admitted to investigators she'd siphoned some anti-freeze using a hypodermic syringe from the garage into a few of her husband's steroid bottles.

Jamie, who is currently being held without bail at Delores J. Baylor Women's Correctional Institution in New Castle, was arraigned at JP Court Seven in Dover, the Delaware State News reported.

Police said it's still unclear what Jamie's motive for poisoning her husband was.

Bakers' two children have been removed from the home in Smyrna. Officials said the two girls, ages nine and five, had been taken to a relative's home nearby.
