James Craig, 45, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder Sunday, hours after his wife, Angela Craig, 43, was taken off life support and died.
An apparent selfie posted to James and Angela Craig’s joint Facebook profile.
Weeks before Angela died, James Craig used a communal computer at his workplace to conduct numerous searches about poison, investigators alleged in the 52-page affidavit. The couple — parents to six children — had been having marital troubles before Angela’s sudden severe sickness this month. James Craig ordered arsenic from Amazon.com on Feb. 27, police allege. He received the package on March 4, and two days later, his wife was admitted to a hospital with symptoms that aligned with poisoning, according to the affidavit. She was released that day, but returned to the hospital on March 9.
“It appears James was flying this woman into Denver while his wife and the mother of his children was dying in the hospital,” Aurora police detective Bobbi Olson wrote in the affidavit. The employee resealed the package and gave it to James Craig, who did not know the package had been opened. When confronted later about the cyanide purchase, James Craig told his business partner the package was a ring he’d purchased as a surprise for his wife, according to the affidavit.
“I have to hire a homicide attorney to make sure I don’t end up being painted in the light that you know some hungry DA is anxious to paint me in because I am most likely going to be charged even though that is absolutely NOT what happened,” James Craig wrote in the text message, which was included in the affidavit.
