00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.559
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:07.759
the Elite. I am your host, Jim Chapman, and I'm

3
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:12.160
bringing you a brand new scandal today, and we're gonna

4
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:19.239
talk about dentist James Tolliver Craig. Now James Tolliver Craig

5
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:25.120
ran a dental practice in Aurora, Colorado. He was forty

6
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:29.359
five years old. He was married to Angela Craig and

7
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.439
they have been married since nineteen ninety nine and they

8
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:37.719
had six children, a very big family, and Angela was

9
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:42.159
described by friends as very involved in her children's life,

10
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.719
even though she had six children to raise and God

11
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.399
knows that that is a ton of work. She also

12
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.679
worked as a family history consultant, which is basically helping

13
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.880
people trace their family roots. So I'm gonna bring you

14
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.799
into the morning of March fifteenth of twenty twenty three,

15
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.840
and Angela is admitted to the hospital. She's very dizzy

16
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:14.280
and she's having severe headaches. Within three hours of being

17
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.680
admitted to the hospital, she starts suffering a seizure and

18
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:23.959
that begins with a rapid medical decline. She gets placed

19
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.519
on life support in the intensive care unit and on

20
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:33.239
March eighteenth, she is pronounced dead. Now the very next day,

21
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.680
it may surprise you to learn that her husband, a

22
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:41.680
successful dentist in Colorado named James Craig, is arrested and

23
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:46.439
charged with first degree murder in her death. But how

24
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.560
did we get to that point? How did a seemingly

25
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:55.680
healthy woman in her forties suddenly get sick and die? Well,

26
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.159
this wasn't the first time that month she had been

27
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.319
in the hospital. As a matter of fact, she had

28
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:07.480
been getting increasingly sick throughout the month of March. She

29
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.719
went to the hospital on March sixth, then went back

30
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.000
to the hospital on March ninth, and she actually stayed

31
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:20.400
until March fourteenth. The whole five days during that hospital stay,

32
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.960
as doctors were trying to figure out what is wrong

33
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:28.560
with this seemingly healthy lady, she does get discharged on

34
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:35.800
March fourteenth, the next day was unfortunately her final stay. Now,

35
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:42.000
her symptoms during that time included extreme vomity, headaches, low

36
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:47.319
blood pressure, dizziness, her eyes couldn't focus. She knew something

37
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.639
was seriously wrong with her, and as I said on

38
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:55.319
March eighteenth, she would tragically die the very next day,

39
00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:00.639
March nineteenth. James Craig is arrested for the first degree

40
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.240
murder of his wife, and we're going to get into it,

41
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.919
and I'm going to reference the arrest warrant and tell

42
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.400
you exactly what allegedly went on to lead to this death.

43
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.120
And I promise you this is going to shock you. So,

44
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.879
according to the affidavit, an investigator by the name of

45
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.719
Bobby Olsen with the Aurora Police Department, who was a

46
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:29.120
ten year veteran with that department, incidentally very experienced, he

47
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:33.680
investigated this case and he said on March fifteenth, at

48
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:38.800
approximately eleven eight am, Angela Craig presented herself to the

49
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:43.360
University Hospital because she had a severe headache and was

50
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:49.240
experiencing dizzyness. Now, Angela was accompanied by her brother, Mark

51
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:54.520
Pray and later by dentist James Craig. At approximately two

52
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:59.719
o'clock PM, Angela experienced a seizure and that started a

53
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.719
ipid declined medically. Eventually she was placed on life support. However,

54
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.919
hospital medical personnel could not find a non medical condition

55
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.639
that would have caused Angela to have that seizure and

56
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:19.600
go into this rapid decline. The detective was told James

57
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.600
was a dentist who worked for Summerbrook Dental Group. He

58
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.480
actually owned that, and he had a business partner. Now

59
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:32.160
that business partner's name is Ryan Redfern, who was also

60
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:37.279
a dentist. Now he wasn't a dentist at James's business.

61
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.199
He was a dentist elsewhere, but he was a partner

62
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:45.040
financially in James's business. And Ryan and his wife Michelle,

63
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:49.399
they were very good friends with James Craig and Angela.

64
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:55.399
Now March fifteenth, twenty twenty three, James he texts Ryan's wife, Michelle,

65
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.360
and he tells her that Angela had been admitted to

66
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:03.879
the hospital and her condition was quote grave. So what

67
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.519
do you think Michelle did? Well? She calls her husband

68
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:12.319
Ryan and they both respond to University hospital. So obviously, y'all,

69
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:16.240
these people were very good friends as well as business partners.

70
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:21.000
And this guy, Ryan and his wife, they were very concerned.

71
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.720
They rushed right to the hospital like many of us

72
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:27.480
would do for our besties. Right at the hospital, Ryan

73
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:32.199
spoke with one of the nurses regarding his suspicion that

74
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:37.480
Angela was a possible victim of poisoning. He went on

75
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:43.600
to explain to this nurse that James recently ordered potassium

76
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:48.319
cyanide for their dental practice, and he added there was

77
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:52.800
no medical reason or purpose to order that for a

78
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.959
dental practice. So at this point, y'all, the nurse does

79
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.399
what she has to do by law, which is to

80
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:03.040
report that to police. Nurses are what's known as a

81
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:07.839
mandatory reporter. Not only are they expected to report things

82
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.639
like that to police, by law, they are required to

83
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:17.120
report that to police, much like teachers are also mandatory reporters.

84
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:22.680
And this nurse reports that, and of course an investigation ensues.

85
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.040
So at this point Angela is still alive, but it's

86
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:31.000
not looking good. And in the early morning hours of

87
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:35.000
the next day, the detective speaks with Ryan and Michelle

88
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:40.639
Redfern at the Aurora Police Department headquarters, and they came

89
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.720
of their own free will to speak to that detective,

90
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.199
of course, and Ryan started by saying he and James

91
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.480
had been business partners since August of twenty twenty two,

92
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:56.920
when Ryan acquired james dental practice, which had been struggling financially,

93
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.560
and they had known each other for over twenty years.

94
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.639
They even went to dental school together, so they were

95
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:08.000
like brothers. Ryan described James as a risk taker and

96
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:12.399
he found out that James had filed for bankruptcy in

97
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:16.319
twenty twenty one and was already on the verge of

98
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:20.720
bankruptcy again. Ryan also stated that in January, just a

99
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:25.079
couple of months before this incident, James confided in Ryan

100
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:30.839
that he and Angela were having marital problems. Now, why

101
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:35.480
is the bankruptcy important to mention? Well, if you're having

102
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:39.839
money problems like that, you've already been through one bankruptcy.

103
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:41.839
Now it looks like you're going to be going through

104
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:45.040
another one. That's going to create a lot of stress.

105
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.360
And some people under stress, they freak out, they do

106
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:52.040
crazy things. But also the fact that he and his

107
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:56.120
wife are having marital problems, it's not looking good for

108
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.600
the dentist. So Ryan goes on to say that the

109
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:02.759
prior day, which was March fifteenth of twenty twenty three,

110
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.800
the day that Angela was admitted to the hospital, the

111
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.639
office manager for the dental practice, someone by the name

112
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.199
of Jacqueline Cauldron, called him as he was driving to

113
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:17.240
the hospital and she told him that she was contacted

114
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:23.680
by another office manager named Caitlin Romero, who also worked

115
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.639
for them, and Jacqueline said that Caitlin told her that

116
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:32.159
on March sixth of twenty twenty three, which incidentally was

117
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:37.200
the day Angela first became sick, James returned to the

118
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:42.200
office after hours. She said she saw James at an

119
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.639
exam room computer. The lights were off and he was

120
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:49.399
doing something on that computer. And she found that strange

121
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:52.759
because James had his own office with his own computer,

122
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.480
and he also had a personal laptop that he took

123
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.399
everywhere with him, yet he was using the office computer.

124
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.240
She just had never seen him do that before. Caitlyn

125
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:08.080
went on to say, approximately thirty minutes after James left

126
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:12.559
the dentist's office, he texted her and he told her

127
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.840
he would be receiving a personal package and went out

128
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.279
of his way to tell her do not open it.

129
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:23.559
He stressed that to her several times in that conversation. Well,

130
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:27.200
Caitlyn said, the package did indeed arrive for James, and

131
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:31.000
that was on March thirteenth of twenty twenty three, and

132
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.759
Caitlyn had found that the package box had been opened.

133
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.559
Caitlyn said she found out another employee actually opened that

134
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:45.320
package and she looked inside it and she saw a

135
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:52.480
biohazard sticker in what said potassium cyanode on the canister.

136
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.559
So Caitlyn realized that that was the baggage for James,

137
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.279
and I'm sure she kind of freaked out because she

138
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:02.960
wasn't supposed to be opening that box. And though she

139
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.279
didn't open it, she knew he would think she did,

140
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.679
so she sealed it back up, gave it to James,

141
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.120
and she didn't mention him that it had already been opened.

142
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.120
But Caitlin, like a lot of us, she was curious

143
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.240
and she had that little hair stand up on the

144
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.559
back of her neck right she used didn't feel right

145
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:25.080
with that, so she got home and she googled potassium

146
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:28.240
sinided she wanted to see the uses of it. Maybe

147
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.440
she had some sort of sixth sense, and when she

148
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.759
pulled it up, it had a list of symptoms along

149
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.879
with what the product actually was, and she realized, these

150
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:45.559
are the same symptoms that James's wife, Angela is currently having,

151
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.480
because it was kind of the talk of the office

152
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.159
that she was sick, even in the early stages of

153
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.960
her sickness. So then the detective asked Ryan about what

154
00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:02.559
occurred at the hospital, how was their interactions with James,

155
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:05.440
and Ryan went on to say that he and his wife, Michelle,

156
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.600
they arrived in separate vehicles at the hospital, but one

157
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.120
waiting for the other, and they went in the hospital

158
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:16.960
together and upon arriving, they both briefly spoke to James,

159
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.919
but while they were speaking to him, his phone started

160
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.679
to ring and it was from one of the doctors

161
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:27.879
of the hospital, so James stepped away, and Ryan said

162
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.919
that while James was on the phone, a nurse came

163
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:34.080
out to talk to them, and that's when James pulled

164
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.919
the nurse to the side and told her about the

165
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:42.039
concerns that he had regarding the possibility that Angela may

166
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:46.440
have been poisoned with potassium cyanide. So it's at that

167
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.879
point that Ryan and Michelle they leave the hospital waiting

168
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.120
room and they head back to their car, and they

169
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.399
get back to Michelle's vehicle and they decide they want

170
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.320
to talk about this for a minute with each other,

171
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:02.559
and they both sat in Michelle's car and they talked

172
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:06.480
for a minute and Ryan gets a phone call, and

173
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:10.200
that phone call is from James. Now, he called Ryan

174
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.840
on his personal cell phone, but his personal cell phone

175
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:17.320
hooks up to the bluetooth in his wife's car when

176
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:19.879
he's in there, and so when he answers the call.

177
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:25.039
It's actually connected to the vehicle, and obviously Michelle can

178
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:29.919
hear everything that's being said, so during the conversation, James

179
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:35.039
tells Ryan that he heard some disturbing information and asked

180
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:38.519
Ryan if he had said anything to the hospital staff,

181
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.360
and you know, I guess this kind of pissed Ryan off.

182
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.080
This guy's gonna confront me, and he's, at this point

183
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:47.480
fully believes he poisoned his wife. So Ryan admits that

184
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:50.399
he talked to the hospital staff about the incident. He

185
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.159
basically says, yeah, I told the hospital staff about you

186
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:59.159
ordering fucking potassium cyanide, which has no use in dental work,

187
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.679
and that I believe if you poisoned your wife. And

188
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.960
James replied that the package was a ring for Angela

189
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:11.080
that he wanted to surprise her with, and then Ryan replied, well,

190
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:14.120
I know you don't think that package was opened, but

191
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:18.080
it was, and we know it wasn't a ring. So

192
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.840
when James hears this, he knows he's kind of caught,

193
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:25.480
and he admits the package did contain potassium cinide, but

194
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:29.960
he claimed Angela told him to order it. He went

195
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.399
on to say Angela did not have the proper credentials

196
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.960
to order it herself, so he ordered it, but he

197
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:40.600
didn't think Angela would actually take it, and tried to

198
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:46.320
compare it basically to being similar to a game of chicken. Essentially,

199
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:51.080
Angela said, I want to kill myself, order some potassium cyanide.

200
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.200
He acted like he didn't think she was going to

201
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:55.799
do it, so he ordered it and she did it anyway.

202
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:59.600
Total bullshit, right, but that's his dumb ass story. Ryan

203
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:04.480
told James the following I'd advise you to stop talking

204
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:07.519
and get a lawyer, and he hung up on him.

205
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:12.919
So at this point, the detective interviews Michelle, Ryan's wife,

206
00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:16.559
and she coroborated everything her husband said, and she went

207
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:19.720
on to say that on March sixth, Angela got dizzy,

208
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:22.960
went to the hospital, was released the same day. A

209
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.960
few days later, on March ninth, same thing. Returned to

210
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.120
the hospital, but this time she was held for five days,

211
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:34.000
was released on March fourteenth, and then March fifteenth, she

212
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:37.080
gets admitted again, and that was of course her last

213
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.279
time being admitted, and her brother Mark brought her that time. Now,

214
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.000
Michelle said that she had exchanged text with James since

215
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:49.919
Angela was admitted to the hospital on March ninth, and

216
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.679
she's being a good friend, right, She's trying to be

217
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.720
kept in the loop on Angela's condition, and she knew

218
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:00.360
a lot about the medical field. This lady actually has

219
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:04.039
a PhD in nursing and was a professor of nursing

220
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.879
at a college. In the affidavit, there are text messages

221
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:14.159
back and forth between James and Michelle. It's primarily Michelle

222
00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:19.200
just asking about symptoms, et cetera. Very concerned about our friend.

223
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:21.840
But it's during one of these and I'm not going

224
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:24.480
to read all the text messages back and forth, but

225
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:30.039
one in particular stuck out to me, and that is

226
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.279
when they're going back and forth talking about the symptoms.

227
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:38.879
James responded to one of these texts by saying, quote,

228
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.639
if it wasn't my wife, this would be kind of

229
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:46.440
a fun puzzle to try to work out. Unquote. I mean,

230
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:51.360
is it just me? Or is that really out of place?

231
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:55.759
A very off putting comment for one to make when

232
00:15:55.799 --> 00:16:00.159
their wife is on their deathbed. Practically, they wrap up

233
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.200
the rest of that interview, Michelle and Ryan leave, and

234
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:09.159
then later on Michelle contacts the investigator again and she

235
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:13.679
states that James called Ryan, but Ryan basically put it

236
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:17.480
through to voicemail. He don't want to talk to this guy.

237
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:23.240
He knows what's up. But then he receives some text

238
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.360
from James, and I'm going to read those texts to you,

239
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.240
says Ryan. Thank you for taking my patient lady today.

240
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.080
I want to make an urgent plea to you. If

241
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.759
we were ever friends, please do me a favor. Please

242
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:39.519
do not talk to anyone about what we talked about

243
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:44.440
last night, including any law enforcement officers. And he's talking

244
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:49.559
about the potassium cyanide right. You are under no obligation

245
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.840
to answer their questions unless you are served to subpoena.

246
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:55.759
And you will do more damage than good to my

247
00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:00.159
family by continuing to insert yourself into this. Angela is

248
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.759
gone and I am devastated. There is nothing that I

249
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.519
can do to bring her back, and I want desperately

250
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:09.599
to tell you all of the details so you can

251
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:12.759
better understand what's going on behind the scenes with her.

252
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:16.079
There is so so much that you don't know that

253
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.319
I wish you did. If you knew everything, this would

254
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:21.960
make so much sense to you. But there's no use

255
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.759
in telling you right now. You and I have a history,

256
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.559
and the other partners and Jackie all talking about me

257
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.680
behind my back and deciding what you think is best.

258
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:35.599
And then you're always the fall guy that has pulled

259
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:39.200
the trigger or tell me what you've decided about me.

260
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:42.480
In fact, yesterday you didn't even come to me. I

261
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:45.279
had to seek you out. You have never given me

262
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:49.160
the advantage of talking with me first. You just decide

263
00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:51.839
and act and hope I'll pick up the pieces later.

264
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.000
This is a pattern in our business dealings, and now

265
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:58.880
it's become a factor in our personal dealings. Let me

266
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.640
paint a picture for you of what this has done.

267
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.559
Yesterday I had to tell my kids that their mom

268
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:07.079
was not going to wake up, and they were there

269
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.119
to save their final goodbyes. This was at six forty

270
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.240
five pm. The hospital said we could bring the kids

271
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:16.880
up to say goodbye at that time, but because of

272
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:21.200
your investigation you opened by your incomplete information, the hospital

273
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:25.400
has made those poor, grieving, hysterical kids wait until after

274
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:28.279
ten o'clock to see their mom. After an hour or

275
00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:30.920
so of saying goodbye to her, we went home just

276
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:34.960
before midnight, only to have our house sealed against entry

277
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:37.880
by the police. Instead of getting to go home and

278
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.279
find comfort they were met with flashing lights and cold,

279
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:46.400
unfeeling cops into the kids. This was scary, scary and confusing.

280
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:49.079
Family is starting to come into town today and I

281
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:51.160
have to tell them I can't come to my house

282
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.799
and try to explain why I have to hire a

283
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.400
homicide attorney to make sure I don't end up being

284
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:59.319
painted in a light that you know, some hungry da

285
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:01.880
is anxious to paint me in because I will most

286
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:06.039
likely be going to be charged, even though that is

287
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:11.000
absolutely not what happened. Ryan. I understand why you did

288
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:13.799
what you did. I do. I get it. But if

289
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:16.880
you had to come to me personally, man to man,

290
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:19.839
instead of talking to everyone else about what you thought

291
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:22.240
you knew, I might have let you in on some

292
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:25.039
details that would have made you less likely to cause

293
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:29.880
this horrible storm. Man, Ryan, if you had only put

294
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:32.680
me higher on your list of priorities instead of putting

295
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:36.400
everyone else's opinions and gossip ahead of me. For that,

296
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:40.279
I am very, very mad at you. I have talked

297
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:43.039
to you about this multiple times, but you don't seem

298
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:46.119
to care. And now what you thought was responsible has

299
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:51.200
become reckless and so so destructive, and so I'm asking

300
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:53.880
if there was ever any love in your heart for me.

301
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.039
Please do not make this any worse by talking to

302
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:01.559
any officers or anyone else about this unless you are

303
00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:04.799
forced to legally do so. And whoever else on the

304
00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:07.480
team you think is going to be questioned, I would

305
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.839
ask that you privately ask them to honor this request too. Also,

306
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:14.680
please do not respond to this text message until I

307
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:19.039
text you again the balls on this fucking guy right

308
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:25.039
all about him infuriating and we'll move on. So at

309
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:28.400
this point, the office manager I told you about Caitlyn,

310
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:32.759
she gets contacted by the detective and she meets him

311
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:36.079
at the police department to speak with him. And she

312
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:40.279
had been working at the dentist office for approximately six months,

313
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:43.519
and she stated that you work directly for James at

314
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:47.240
the summer Brook Dental and that Ryan is not a

315
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:51.359
dentist there, He just is a partner in the financial

316
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:56.160
aspect of that dental clinic. Caitlyn also said that she

317
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:59.680
knew that on March sixth, twenty twenty three, James and

318
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:03.039
is one Angela worked out in the morning together and

319
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:07.119
before that workout, James made Angela some sort of protein

320
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:09.920
shake or pre workout shake, and she said it was

321
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:14.519
at that point that Angela started feeling sluggish, so James

322
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:18.039
gave her extra protein and it was after that workout

323
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:23.079
that Angela began feeling faint dizzy, and ultimately James brought

324
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.599
her to the hospital that day. Caitlin also said that

325
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.319
she started to us odd strange things around the office,

326
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.079
and she mentioned on March sixth, towards the end of

327
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.400
the day, he was in the back of the medical

328
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:39.039
exam room on that computer, which she found strange, and

329
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:41.839
I told you that story. She also said it was

330
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.319
during that timeframe with Angela in the hospital that James

331
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:48.480
had conversations with her where he told her he didn't

332
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:51.119
think his wife was gonna make it, and in that

333
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:55.680
same conversation, James would ask how business was in the office,

334
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:58.960
and that kind of took Caitlin back right. Your wife

335
00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:02.880
again is on deathbed, and you're worried about how business

336
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.319
is in the office just seemed really strange, whereas priorities

337
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:11.519
were at that point. Caitlyn also told the detective about

338
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.279
that March thirteenth, twenty twenty three incident in which one

339
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:20.359
of the office attendants opened that package that contained the syinide.

340
00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:27.279
So she confirmed everything that Ryan and Michelle had told police.

341
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.880
She said she had never seen potassium cyanide delivered to

342
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:33.720
the office and said, honestly, I didn't even know what

343
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:36.279
it was for. So I performed a Google search and

344
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.480
it was in that search that I noticed the side

345
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:43.119
effects of ingesting potassium cyanide were the same symptoms that

346
00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:48.720
Angela was exhibiting nausea, vomiting, and low blood pressure specifically.

347
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.359
Caitlyn then said she spoke to James on March fourteenth,

348
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:55.720
twenty twenty three, and he mentioned that Angela was discharged,

349
00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:59.440
and right after she got discharged, Caitlyn said James told

350
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:03.240
her and started accusing her husband of trying to poison

351
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.839
her and said specifically something along the lines of there

352
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:12.440
are poisons they do not test for, because allegedly James

353
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:14.440
told his wife will if I tried to poison you,

354
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:17.839
they tested for all that and didn't find anything. He's

355
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:21.279
already trying to cover his tracks, right well, he tells

356
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:25.119
Caitlin about that whole conversation. He said that Angela was

357
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:28.160
sent home on oxygen, but they didn't know what was

358
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:32.319
wrong with her, and Caitlin said at some point she

359
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:35.920
called the other office manager Jacqueline, and they kind of

360
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:41.319
agreed that they thought James might be responsible for Angela's sickness.

361
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.960
Caitlin said she knew James and Angela were having marital

362
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.359
problems because James had recently mentioned that he had told

363
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:53.240
Angela he wanted a divorce. Caitlyn said James had been

364
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.559
distant from time to time at work and would leave

365
00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:59.880
sometimes at lunch because he and Angela were having fight.

366
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:03.319
Caitlin said she had not seen the package since the

367
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:07.240
day she gave it to James, the package of potassium cynide,

368
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.440
and that the trash was collected on a daily basis,

369
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:16.160
which is typical of medical establishments. Now keep this in mind,

370
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:21.640
Angela and James have six children. CPS has already been

371
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:25.119
contacted because it ain't looking good for Angela and they

372
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:27.240
got to figure out what to do with these kids

373
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:31.480
if indeed the father is arrested for the murder. So

374
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:37.039
CPS meets with the children and James individually, and that

375
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:43.559
CPS worker discusses with the detective her findings, and she

376
00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:48.079
said she felt James made some very concerning statements. Specifically,

377
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:51.559
she said James had brought up the fact that Angela

378
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:55.799
was suicidal and had been for some time. James claimed

379
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:58.920
to the CPS worker that he personally had to revive

380
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.480
Angela on sale several occasions over the last few months

381
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:06.640
after she tried to commit suicide. He mentioned also that

382
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:10.359
he asked Angela for divorce in December of twenty twenty two,

383
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:15.119
and since that time her depression and suicidal ideation may

384
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:19.559
have increased. He said he believed Angela was intentionally overdosing

385
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:24.680
on opioids in another unknown substance. However, he never reported

386
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:28.640
any of these incidents to anyone. He never sought any

387
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:34.480
medical attention for Angela during these alleged overdose attempts, never

388
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:38.839
made any appointments for counseling, no appointments for therapy, etc.

389
00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:43.640
There's no records of any of that ever in history.

390
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:48.319
Why he's lying. If you like me your bullshit meter,

391
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:51.559
it's going off right now. So James goes on to

392
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:55.359
tell this CPS worker, whose name was Sidney incidentally, that

393
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:59.680
he was sure Angela's toxicology records would come back positive

394
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:02.799
for substances, but he had no idea what kind. So

395
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:06.599
Sidney felt compelled to report these statements because none of

396
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:10.839
Angela's children none of them, all sex ranging in ages

397
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:15.200
from adults on down. None of these children mentioned their

398
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:20.559
mother's depression, nor did they mention any alleged previous suicide attempts,

399
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:26.279
And in Sidney's opinion, she believed it was improbable these

400
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:30.240
type of events could happen with no one inside of

401
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:35.160
the household outside of James being aware of it. She

402
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:38.400
felt James was attempted to build a cover story to

403
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:42.319
cover up what really happened to Angela. And look, these

404
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:47.000
CPS workers, h'all, they are very well trained in spotting bullshit.

405
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:50.200
That's important to keep in mind. Very hard to fool

406
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:55.480
a CPS worker. So on March sixteenth, that detective also

407
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:58.680
communicates with a friend of the Craig family by the

408
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:02.519
name of Jennifer Reeves, and Jennifer informed the detective that

409
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:06.160
James was currently at her residence and intended to spend

410
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:09.599
the night with his children while he was waiting for

411
00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:12.720
the older children to come in from out of town,

412
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:16.000
and that he would be there throughout the next morning.

413
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:21.640
So same day, March sixteenth, twenty twenty three, the detective

414
00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:27.920
submits three search warrants applications to the eighteenth Judicial District

415
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:31.279
Court one of those warrants was for James and Angela's home.

416
00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:35.200
One of those warrants was for the summer Brook Dental office,

417
00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:39.240
and the third was for Jennifer's home. And a judge

418
00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:42.319
signs them and I'll tell you why they needed a

419
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:44.519
search warrant for Jennifer's home. I'm going to get into

420
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:47.920
it right now. So also on that day, the detective

421
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:50.839
along with the colleague, they head over to Jennifer's house

422
00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:55.599
and they needed that warrant just to speak to James essentially,

423
00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:58.880
and they knew he was there, so right off the bat,

424
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:01.440
James said, hey, I don't want to speak about my

425
00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:05.759
wife's medical condition at this point. So the detectives they

426
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:08.079
provide a copy of the search warrant and they say, look,

427
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:10.000
you don't have to talk to us, but we need

428
00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:14.000
your cell phone and we need Angela's cell phone, which

429
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:17.720
he had possession of at this point. They also wanted

430
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:22.000
his wallet in his laptop. So James hands over Angela's

431
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.359
cell phone and he provides the passcode for it. He

432
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:28.440
then hands over his cell phone and provides the pass

433
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:31.400
code for that, and he tells them I don't have

434
00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:34.680
my laptop with me. It's at the dental office, but

435
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:38.440
he does give the password for the laptop to the police.

436
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:41.079
He also said he didn't carry a wallet, he just

437
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:44.480
keeps credit cards and his ID on his phone case.

438
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.640
So the detective takes pictures of the credit cards and

439
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:51.920
james driver's license and then he gives everything back to

440
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.680
James as far as credit cards are concern. Fifteen minutes later,

441
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:59.319
the detective, along with others, they respond to James and

442
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:03.119
Angelus to serve that search warrant. First thing they do,

443
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:06.039
they clear the residence. They make sure no one's inside,

444
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:09.599
and the detectives noted that the house was equipped with

445
00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:14.880
both internal and external surveillance cameras. Now, during the search,

446
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:17.960
they take multiple items they believe could be used as

447
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:23.440
evidence in the case, including multiple types of protein powder,

448
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:30.079
multiple workout shakers, which are the shaker drinks that you

449
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.920
shake up the protein in a computer tablet, in two

450
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:40.279
different plastic ziplock bags that Beth had white pottery substances

451
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:44.319
in them. Neither ziplock was labeled, and they also grabbed

452
00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:47.640
a water bottle on an exercise bike in the main

453
00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:52.400
bedroom area. Now, while executing the search warrant of the residence,

454
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:55.440
they were looking for a device, some sort of hard

455
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:58.960
drive that would have the data for the surveillance cameras

456
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:03.680
on it find any hard drive. There was a security

457
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:06.960
system on the wall that could play video for the

458
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:10.920
exterior only, but it wasn't something you could just easily

459
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:14.119
unplug and take with you. It was wired up right,

460
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:17.720
So the detectives determined at that point it was likely

461
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:20.880
all the surveillance video would be backed up to some

462
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:24.039
sort of cloud based system, which is common these days.

463
00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:27.720
Rarely do they have hard drives anymore. Usually it just

464
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:30.559
backs up to a cloud. A couple of hours later,

465
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.319
the detectives execute a search warrant on the summer Brook

466
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:39.680
Dental and the office was completely closed for business this day.

467
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:43.240
So they entered the office and they noticed multiple surveillance

468
00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:46.640
cameras on the office walls. They noted the offices were

469
00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:49.880
very clean, it was very orderly, and they knew from

470
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:53.359
talking to the previous office manager that James was on

471
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:56.200
a computer in the dental room, and they knew it

472
00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:00.160
was dental room nine. So they had straight there to

473
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:03.599
get that computer, which they do, and they notice on

474
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:06.960
the back of that computer there was a USB removable

475
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:10.200
thumb drive plugged into the back, so they sees that

476
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:13.200
as well as the hard drive of that computer. And

477
00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:16.400
it's at this point in another area of the office,

478
00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:20.039
they see a laptop and hit the space bar and

479
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:24.200
they noticed the last person logged into that computer was James,

480
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:28.200
So they try the password James gave them for his

481
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:30.640
laptop to make sure it was his. They didn't want

482
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:34.119
to see somebody else's it opened the laptop. So they

483
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:36.920
realized at that point this is the right one, and

484
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:39.759
they seize that. And as they're going around the office,

485
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:44.519
they also locate a small hand vacuum and they notice

486
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:49.119
on this small hand vacuum around the nozzle there was

487
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:52.559
a white pattery substance inside of it. And that's a

488
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.799
pretty sharp detective work right there to notice that. So

489
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.839
of course they seize that small hand vacuum as well.

490
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:04.000
So they head back to headquarters and look, it's been

491
00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:08.839
a long day for this detective, right he is on

492
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:13.000
the case and he is everywhere. And the first thing

493
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:17.079
he does is he accesses Angela's cell phone and he

494
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:20.799
starts going through the text between Angela and James, and

495
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:23.759
one thing he noticed was that she had James on

496
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:28.319
her phone. As quote the boy and there was a

497
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:32.400
picture of the two of them under the text for James.

498
00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:36.960
So the detective starts reading through the text messages and

499
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.839
he starts on March first of twenty twenty three, and

500
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:45.000
he noticed that Angela and James were discussing their relationship,

501
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:51.519
mainly about James's healing and counseling, and he attached a

502
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:56.400
screenshot of that text, and Angela had said to James, quote,

503
00:32:56.920 --> 00:33:02.160
you don't have to do everything alone and happiness. This

504
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:05.119
marriage is more important than my day, and you are

505
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.039
more important than my day, and James responded with, thank you.

506
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:11.000
I know you were getting ready to go out and

507
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.519
spend some time with friends. I would like to ask

508
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:17.519
you to keep last night's conversation details just between you

509
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:21.519
and I. I trust Tony, which is Tony with an

510
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:24.839
I TONI, but it was hard for me to even

511
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:28.440
tell you that stuff. I'm definitely not ready for anyone

512
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:32.160
to hear it, and Angela responds with of course, I

513
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:35.200
wasn't planning to talk to anyone about it, and James

514
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:37.880
responds with I'm sorry. I know she is kind of

515
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.720
your support and your strength and somebody you can always

516
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:43.839
go to a to vent I hate taking away even

517
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:47.039
that part of y'all's relationship, since I know that's really

518
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:50.359
hard for you. The detective noted that it's kind of

519
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:53.839
a strange text, and as we go along here, you're

520
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:56.480
going to figure out what they were talking about. So

521
00:33:56.559 --> 00:33:59.160
then he goes into some other texts that were made

522
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:03.720
the morning of March six, the first day that Angela

523
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:07.359
began having symptoms and went to the hospital, And these

524
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:12.599
techs start at six point fifty nine pm, James text

525
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:15.760
Angela and he says, thank you so much for making

526
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:18.440
my drink this morning. I just love you. I hope

527
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:20.880
you have a great day, and I'm so glad you're

528
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:24.519
back in town. Angela responds back with your welcome baby,

529
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:26.719
I love you too. I think my body is not

530
00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:30.639
letting the caffeine this morning either. My stomach feels fine,

531
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:34.719
but my head feels funny and dizzy. Very strange. James says,

532
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:37.320
it's been a week since caffeine for you. Maybe your

533
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:39.760
body is saying no, thank you. I did a full

534
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:43.599
scoop of caffeine and a big full scoop of bee vitamins.

535
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:46.880
Is that how you normally take? Angela writes back, Oh no,

536
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:50.039
I do a small scoop of the bee vitamin mix.

537
00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:55.440
It feels really weird, and he writes back, James, Oh sorry, baby,

538
00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:59.440
I was plugging your symptoms into Google and stroke match

539
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:03.400
some what you're describing. Do you have a weakness in

540
00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:06.000
your whole body or just one side? And is it

541
00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:09.440
both eyes or just one that feels blurry? Angela says

542
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:12.199
it feels like my whole body is and it's tingly

543
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:16.119
and my eyes are struggling to focus. James says, are

544
00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:20.199
you lying down? Angela says I got in my bed.

545
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:25.440
James says, okay, good, and Angela says, my whole body

546
00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:29.400
feels so heavy, and James says, something's really wrong. I'm

547
00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:33.400
coming home with a blood pressure cuff. If nothing else,

548
00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:35.760
I can at least help the girls stay on track

549
00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:39.079
while you rest. Angela says, that's okay, it'll wear off.

550
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:41.280
I'm dizzy and my eyes don't want to focus, but

551
00:35:41.320 --> 00:35:43.760
I can get stuff done that I need to this morning.

552
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:48.639
And James says, maybe you should lie down. Angela says,

553
00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:51.599
I'm lying on my face on the mat in my room.

554
00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:57.920
James says, you have a bed, you know. Angela responds

555
00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:00.679
with I'm stinky, just seems excel I said for a

556
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:05.320
little extra supplement. James says, Pearl is flying in this

557
00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:08.440
morning to see me. I totally forgot. I think she's

558
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:12.559
flying out today too, though, and then Angela says I

559
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:16.119
don't feel right in my head. James responds with do

560
00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:19.920
I need to come home? Angela says no, this is

561
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:22.639
just weird. I'm dizzy in my head and my eyes

562
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:26.159
are working slowly and my whole body is responding slowly.

563
00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:30.119
James responds back at six oh five pm, I'm all

564
00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:33.159
done in head at home. How are you feeling? Angela

565
00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:37.360
says same. Belle is making grilled cheese. James responds back

566
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:39.840
with thanks Bell, I'm all done here and head at

567
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:43.360
home now. Angela says I would like another blessing tonight

568
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:46.559
if there's someone who could help. James says, okay, I'm

569
00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:50.000
sure we can find someone. So remember, y'all, this was

570
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:54.559
the first day that she was feeling sick, and you

571
00:36:54.599 --> 00:37:00.840
can see this woman is not doing what well. Of course,

572
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:05.360
she went to the hospital, got discharged the same day,

573
00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:08.639
and it wasn't until March ninth that she ended up

574
00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:12.679
going back. And it was on March ninth, at seven

575
00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:17.880
seventeen am that more text were included in this Affidavid,

576
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:22.280
and at seven seventeen am James asked, how are you doing?

577
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:25.559
And Angela responds, I feel super tired, but I left

578
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:27.960
my phone on my lap, so I hope I feel

579
00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:32.599
it if you text. James writes back, okay, thank you.

580
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:35.920
Then he writes are you nauseous? I'm reading up on

581
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:40.760
blood pressure and Angela responds with not today, why and

582
00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:44.280
James writes, just making sure. And then it's several other

583
00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:47.960
texts of her just saying she feels like shit basically,

584
00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:52.800
and it seems like he's playing off like he's concerned,

585
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:57.119
but he doesn't really seem concerned, if that makes any sense.

586
00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:01.360
And there's more. There's probably ten pays ages of these texts.

587
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:04.480
I'm not going to go over all of them, but

588
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:07.360
a few of it's stuck out. There's one situation where

589
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:11.320
they're talking about blood pressure and his wife had wrote,

590
00:38:11.480 --> 00:38:14.559
my blood pressure is one fourteen over eighty one right now,

591
00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:18.440
I have a low grade fever. James responds with, man,

592
00:38:18.559 --> 00:38:21.440
your blood pressure is all over the board, one forty

593
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:25.400
five over forty five, followed by one fourteen over eighty one.

594
00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:28.519
Somebody needs to tell your brain to get it together.

595
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:32.599
She writes back. I've been saying that forever. And it's

596
00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:35.199
kind of sad these texts because you go over and

597
00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:38.039
they're talking about kid. This woman is worried about her

598
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:41.880
kids way more than herself at this point in knowing

599
00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:45.320
how this ended up. It's just really sad to read

600
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:50.119
over these. So we'll continue on and look. In every

601
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:54.519
case like this, the number one thing that catches people

602
00:38:55.280 --> 00:39:00.280
is by far their Google search history. Not only is

603
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:03.519
that a roadmap to what they were thinking and doing

604
00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:07.079
those that are accused, but it's also the first thing

605
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:10.760
in most cases detectives are going to check, and this

606
00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:16.079
was no exception. On March seventeenth, the detectives they do

607
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:20.880
a search history on those computers and laptop and hard

608
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:26.000
drives that they seized, and they open up Google Chrome

609
00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:30.519
and it brings them to James Craig's email and they

610
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:33.079
go through that email and they're able to see a

611
00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:36.599
history of the email account, and they noticed that this

612
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:42.440
particular email was labeled Jim Craig in the history and

613
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:47.239
on that email it begins February twenty seventh of twenty

614
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:51.960
twenty three, and guess what they observed. The first thing

615
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:57.039
they observed are that the user conducted searches related to poison,

616
00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:01.480
and in those searches there were search phrases and get

617
00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:05.159
what he was searching? Quote how many grams of pure

618
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:09.280
arsenic will kill a human? Unquote? How about another one?

619
00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:15.199
Is arsenic detectable in an autopsy? Unquote? Not only that,

620
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:20.199
but he had searched chemical suppliers in Aurora, Colorado, and

621
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:23.800
it made a purchase via Amazon. So they click to

622
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:28.280
see what the Amazon purchase was and who knew, at

623
00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:31.119
least at this point in time, you could even get

624
00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:36.079
this off of Amazon. But on February twenty seventh, twenty

625
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:44.440
twenty three, he purchased arsenic metallic powder from Amazon and

626
00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:49.800
it costs thirteen bucks. Can you believe it? And get this?

627
00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:54.239
In the description of that item, it says that arsenic

628
00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:57.039
is often believed to be used for murder, as it

629
00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:00.920
has been in many crime novels, and the second portion

630
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:04.599
of the description stated, quote the real danger is in

631
00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:08.119
swallowing it, which could prove fatal. You can't make this

632
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:15.400
shit up. James also searched arsenic on a chemistry website.

633
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:19.320
The search history also provided YouTube searches for get this,

634
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:23.960
the top five undetectable poisons that show no signs of

635
00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:28.880
foul play. He searched for how to make poison, and

636
00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:33.039
he searched for the top ten deadliest plants that can

637
00:41:33.119 --> 00:41:38.159
kill you. Now this detective. He then digs deeper into

638
00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:42.719
the actual emails and he notices that James had already

639
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:46.199
purchased arsenic in the past, this was not his first time.

640
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:50.400
But the detective also finds some other emails, and those

641
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:55.960
emails contained communications between someone by the name of Karen Cain.

642
00:41:56.480 --> 00:42:00.840
So let's get into that relationship. And the detective noted

643
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:04.840
that the emails exchanged between Karen Kane and James were

644
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:10.760
quote intimate in nature and contained sexually explicit conversations unquote.

645
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:14.920
There were also travel plans within those emails to Karen

646
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:19.000
kan The first travel dates were March eighth through tenth

647
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:23.480
of twenty twenty three, which showed Karen traveling from Austin,

648
00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:29.079
Texas to Denver, Colorado. Now keep in mind Angela was

649
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:35.679
hospitalized the ninth through the fourteenth. How sick is this fucker?

650
00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:40.480
There was also another flight itinerary, and this one was

651
00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:44.639
from March sixteenth through the twentieth of twenty twenty three.

652
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:48.760
The flight was purchased on March fourth of twenty twenty three,

653
00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:52.519
which was the same day that the Arsenic was delivered

654
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:57.840
to James's house according to Amazon records, so he had

655
00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:01.039
one box delivered to his office one box delivered to

656
00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:05.039
his house. There was a follow up email from Karen

657
00:43:05.199 --> 00:43:08.039
on March sixteenth of twenty twenty three, and that follow

658
00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:13.519
up email suggested that James had told her something had

659
00:43:13.559 --> 00:43:16.320
happened to Angela and that she was in the hospital

660
00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:20.760
and probably gonna die. Karen had also sent James an

661
00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:24.039
email explaining how sorry she was for him and that

662
00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:27.679
she wished she could help him, that she knew it

663
00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:29.840
was so hard for him what he was going through

664
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:31.960
and wanted to be there for him, but didn't want

665
00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:35.679
to mix with him and his family and friends and

666
00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:38.199
pretend only to be a friend when there was so

667
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:41.679
much more between them. And it was signed Karen Kin

668
00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:49.239
get ready for this DDS. Ms. Karen Cain is an

669
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:56.719
orthodonist in Marble Falls, Texas according to the affidavit, another doctor.

670
00:43:57.360 --> 00:44:01.840
So that being said, she had nothing to do obviously

671
00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:05.639
with what he was doing. I'm sure knew nothing about it.

672
00:44:06.280 --> 00:44:08.800
She definitely knew he was married, and I'm sure he

673
00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:12.400
was telling her he was leaving his wife. But whatever,

674
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:17.840
we'll move on. So on March seventeenth, and look, incidentally,

675
00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:22.119
this case had not been going on very long at

676
00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:25.639
this point. By March seventeenth, they've already got all this

677
00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:29.239
evidence that this detective has interviewed. It seems like everybody

678
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:33.239
in Aurora, Colorado. He is like the energizer bunny. Shout

679
00:44:33.239 --> 00:44:37.039
out to this guy. He did a phenomenal job, already

680
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:39.719
having all this seven ince. But on March seventeenth, he

681
00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:42.960
speaks with Angela's sister, and that was Tony with an

682
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:47.119
Eye that remember her, and Tony with an Eye stated

683
00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:51.360
that she and Angela spoke on most daily. They were

684
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:54.880
very close, and she said Angela visited with her in

685
00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:59.360
Utah where Tony lived from March first through the fifth,

686
00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:03.559
and was he never complained about not feeling well. And

687
00:45:03.639 --> 00:45:06.440
remember the next day was when all the shit started

688
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:10.159
and she started feeling ill. Tony said that Angela and

689
00:45:10.280 --> 00:45:14.320
James marriage had always been tumultuous. She said James had

690
00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:18.440
multiple affairs with several women. He had told Angela in

691
00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:22.039
the past he was addicted to pornography since he was

692
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:25.880
a teenager, which would explain those texts I read to

693
00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:29.719
you earlier. Remember I said they would make sense, that's

694
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:33.360
what he was referencing. So apparently Angela did tell Tony

695
00:45:33.519 --> 00:45:36.519
even though he didn't want her to. Tony also claimed

696
00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:41.239
that James drugged Angela six years prior with an unknown drug.

697
00:45:41.880 --> 00:45:44.679
She said he planned to go into the bathroom and

698
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:48.840
give himself a lethal ingestion of something and commit suicide,

699
00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:51.880
and that he told her before he did this. He

700
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:54.559
drugged her so she wouldn't be able to find him

701
00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:57.440
nor be able to save him, which would give the

702
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:00.559
lethal drugs time to kick in and kill him. This

703
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:04.800
fucker is nuts. Tony also said Angela told her several

704
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:07.679
times over the past sixteen years that she was going

705
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:11.719
to leave James, but said James always convinced her to stay.

706
00:46:11.920 --> 00:46:14.960
Tony said Angela told her that James had run the

707
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:19.559
dental office into the ground and the finances were dire.

708
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:24.079
Sister knows everything right. Tony also said that Angela told

709
00:46:24.159 --> 00:46:28.119
her James recently traveled to Las Vegas, where he gambled

710
00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:32.800
away two thousand dollars. Tony also said when James updated

711
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:36.519
her on Angela's status. He said he would not allow

712
00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:40.639
hospital staff to conduct an autopsy, and Angela didn't like this.

713
00:46:41.199 --> 00:46:44.320
She said, maybe it's something genetic, and I need to

714
00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:47.679
know what caused this so I can be on the

715
00:46:47.719 --> 00:46:49.920
lookout for it or my kids can be on the

716
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:53.400
lookout for it. But he wouldn't listen. He said, we

717
00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:55.599
ain't doing an autopsy. As a matter of fact, he

718
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:59.079
was quoted as saying, if they couldn't find out what

719
00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:01.639
was wrong with her when she was alive, I'm not

720
00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:05.079
gonna let them poke her more when she's dead. What

721
00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:09.280
a legit asshole. So at this point that the detective

722
00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:14.000
he does some studying on cyanide and especially what happens

723
00:47:14.039 --> 00:47:17.480
when you ingest it, and he learns that typically it

724
00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:24.159
causes chest pain, confusion, dizzyness, eye pain, difficulty breathing, headaches, nausea,

725
00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:28.280
all the symptoms that Angela had, and eventually it will

726
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:32.440
cause seizures, coma, and then death. So I'm going to

727
00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:37.719
read you verbatim the conclusion that this detective came up with,

728
00:47:38.119 --> 00:47:41.960
and again shout out to him amazing job of writing

729
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:46.679
the affidavit, probably the best most well written affidavit I've

730
00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:50.320
ever come across in all my time of covering cases

731
00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:54.800
like this. But here's what his conclusion said, verbatim throughout

732
00:47:54.800 --> 00:47:59.119
this investigation. You're a faiet. A fait is the detective

733
00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:03.480
in this case. That's how they're written in avidavits. You're

734
00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:06.679
a fayette. Has spoken to numerous people who have provided

735
00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:11.440
insight into Angela and James Craig's relationship. Not one person

736
00:48:11.519 --> 00:48:16.480
has suggested or even seen any source of suicidal ideations

737
00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:20.280
from Angela. James had provided those statements to the Department

738
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:24.639
of Human Services employees, who, after hearing those statements, felt

739
00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:27.000
that James was trying to make a point to have

740
00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:31.079
some source of cover up story to prevent his incrimination.

741
00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:35.559
James has made varied statements to various audiences. He told

742
00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:39.079
the Department of Human Services that Angela was suicidal and

743
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:41.920
he had saved her many times but never reported it.

744
00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:45.400
James had told fellow employees that his marriage was failing

745
00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:48.400
and he was in financial turmoil. He has also been

746
00:48:48.480 --> 00:48:51.920
recently communicating with a woman named Karen Kin about what

747
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:56.400
appears to be a sexually intimate relationship. It appears James

748
00:48:56.480 --> 00:48:59.599
was flying this woman into Denver while his wife in

749
00:48:59.639 --> 00:49:02.320
the mother tether of his children were dying in the

750
00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:06.719
hospital in totality. This investigation has proven that James has

751
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:10.199
gone to great lengths to try and end his wife's life.

752
00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:13.960
On February twenty seventh of twenty twenty three, he created

753
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:19.159
a new Gmail account, Jiminwaffles at gmail dot com, which

754
00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:23.480
he only used in dental room number nine within his practice.

755
00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:26.519
This email account was not found on his cell phone,

756
00:49:26.840 --> 00:49:31.440
his laptop, nor Angela's phone. While using this account, he

757
00:49:31.559 --> 00:49:38.239
researched multiple quote undetectable poisons and eventually purchased Arsenic from

758
00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:42.480
Amazon dot com. After buying this poison, he received an

759
00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:46.440
email from Karen Kane about her intention to fly to Denver,

760
00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:49.880
Colorado for March a through tenth of twenty twenty three.

761
00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:53.079
On March fourth of twenty twenty three, the Arsenic was

762
00:49:53.119 --> 00:49:57.280
delivered to james mailbox at his home residence. On March fourth,

763
00:49:57.320 --> 00:50:01.079
twenty twenty three, James received another email from Karan Kane

764
00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:04.400
for a trip that was scheduled March sixteenth through twentieth,

765
00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:08.039
twenty twenty three, with a flight plan. On March fifth

766
00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:11.000
of twenty twenty three, Angela returned home from a trip

767
00:50:11.039 --> 00:50:14.199
to Utah. On March sixth of twenty twenty three, Angela

768
00:50:14.280 --> 00:50:17.119
was admitted to the hospital as she complained that her

769
00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:20.000
head felt funny, she was dizzy, and her eyes were

770
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:23.360
not focusing. She continued that she did not feel right

771
00:50:23.440 --> 00:50:26.719
in her head and her body was responding slowly. These

772
00:50:26.760 --> 00:50:31.000
symptoms were consistent with some of the symptoms from arsony.

773
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:36.440
These symptoms, per the CDC, were vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dehydration,

774
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:41.360
alter mental state, or organ failure. Angela was released from

775
00:50:41.360 --> 00:50:44.440
the hospital on March sixth of twenty twenty three. James

776
00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:47.239
then ordered and I can't pronounce this word, it looks

777
00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:52.960
like orlingdrin one milligram and the quantity of three. These

778
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:57.199
items were intercepted by FedEx and not delivered to James.

779
00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:01.960
On March eighth. According to flight plan from February twenty seventh,

780
00:51:02.199 --> 00:51:07.000
Karen Cain came to Denver, Colorado. James then ordered Sigma

781
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:12.639
two O seven eight ten potassium cyanide from Midland Scientific

782
00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:16.559
with a request to have it overnighted. He requested to

783
00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:19.440
pick the items up personally on March ninth of twenty

784
00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:23.519
twenty three. Specifically, there were delays in the shipment due

785
00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:27.559
to verifying his credentials. James responded while Angela was in

786
00:51:27.599 --> 00:51:30.079
the hospital that he could complete the form and that

787
00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:35.199
the potassium cyanide was needed for surgery. James showed impatience

788
00:51:35.239 --> 00:51:40.119
in the email stream between him and the Midland Scientific employee.

789
00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:43.039
James then told his employee Caitlin that he had a

790
00:51:43.039 --> 00:51:45.880
package coming to the office on March thirteenth, and that

791
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:49.400
package was personal. The package was accidentally opened by an

792
00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:53.320
employee and Katie and Caitlyn took the package repackaged it.

793
00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:57.079
Knowing James requested it not be opened. As Caitlyn repackaged

794
00:51:57.119 --> 00:52:00.840
the item, she saw it was potassium Sinideitlyn never saw

795
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:03.880
a potassium cyanid within the business again, it should have

796
00:52:03.960 --> 00:52:06.760
remained in the business if it was truly for surgery,

797
00:52:06.840 --> 00:52:10.559
as James alleged. On March fourteenth of twenty twenty three,

798
00:52:10.639 --> 00:52:13.840
Angela was released from the hospital and returned home. On

799
00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:17.039
March fifteenth of twenty twenty three, Angela returned back to

800
00:52:17.079 --> 00:52:21.000
the hospital at approximately eleven am. This time, Angela was

801
00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:24.440
at a different hospital. She started to suffer from a

802
00:52:24.519 --> 00:52:29.599
severe seizure and was intubated Angela suffered from lack of oxygen,

803
00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:33.800
no pupil reaction, and began to have inner cranial pressure.

804
00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:37.800
This led Angela to the medical intensive care unit, where

805
00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:41.599
she was on life support and did not regain brain activity.

806
00:52:42.119 --> 00:52:46.199
James was known to make Angela protein shakes regularly and

807
00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:49.440
had administered many to her. It was believed he had

808
00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:54.159
provided Angela with the poison through those shakes. Per the CDC,

809
00:52:54.480 --> 00:52:58.079
the more severe symptoms include high or low blood pressure,

810
00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:03.159
loss of consciousness, injury, seizure's coma, and death. James had

811
00:53:03.239 --> 00:53:06.239
ordered multiple poisons that were not known to have been

812
00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:10.280
located during the searches of his residence or business. James

813
00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:13.639
has not attempted to speak with police regarding what occurred

814
00:53:13.679 --> 00:53:16.320
with his wife, but has made statements that he had

815
00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:20.239
the answers to what happened. James has only repeatedly asked

816
00:53:20.280 --> 00:53:23.920
for his phone back based on the totality of the investigation.

817
00:53:24.199 --> 00:53:26.960
James has shown the planning and intent to end his

818
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:30.760
wife's life by searching for ways to kill someone undetected,

819
00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:34.960
providing her poisons that align with their hospitalized symptoms, and

820
00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:38.400
working on starting a new life with Karen Cain. You're

821
00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:42.320
a faiant finds there is more than enough preliminary evidence

822
00:53:42.360 --> 00:53:48.039
sufficient to arrest James Craig with premeditated first grew murder

823
00:53:49.599 --> 00:53:54.880
and it's signed by the detective. So on March nineteenth

824
00:53:54.960 --> 00:53:57.880
of twenty twenty three, which is the day after his

825
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:03.679
wife's death, James is indeed arrested and charged with the

826
00:54:03.719 --> 00:54:06.960
first degree murder of his wife, as well as tampering

827
00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:11.679
with evidence. But you know how, the wheels of justice

828
00:54:11.719 --> 00:54:16.480
turned very slow, and time would pass a lot of time,

829
00:54:16.760 --> 00:54:21.199
and on December third of twenty twenty four, over a

830
00:54:21.280 --> 00:54:25.280
year and a half later, the lawyer representing James Craig,

831
00:54:25.360 --> 00:54:29.679
he suddenly quits the case and for twenty four hours

832
00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:36.039
many would wonder why, But the suspected answer would surface

833
00:54:36.599 --> 00:54:39.559
just a day later, when on December fourth of twenty

834
00:54:39.599 --> 00:54:44.639
twenty four, two new charges were added to James growing

835
00:54:44.719 --> 00:54:49.039
less of charges. Those two new charges included solicitation to

836
00:54:49.119 --> 00:54:54.079
commit perjury and solicitation of murder. So let's break this down.

837
00:54:55.039 --> 00:55:00.920
Apparently some timefoolery was going on with this dentist since incarceration,

838
00:55:01.000 --> 00:55:02.960
because he never got out and he'd even bail out

839
00:55:03.000 --> 00:55:06.480
and among the things he attempted to get done. Allegedly,

840
00:55:07.079 --> 00:55:09.719
he tried to get a friend to go insidea's house

841
00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:13.679
and hide several notes throughout the home that were typed

842
00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:20.800
up by his wife, allegedly claiming to be suicide notes. Then,

843
00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:25.079
after learning that an inmate's daughter knew how to make

844
00:55:25.360 --> 00:55:29.039
deep fake videos, he tried to hire her to make

845
00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:33.239
one of his wife, asking him to order cyanide for her.

846
00:55:33.719 --> 00:55:35.840
And if y'all don't know how these deep fake works,

847
00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:38.840
you can take a video. I've seen one of Tom

848
00:55:38.920 --> 00:55:42.119
Cruise where it sounds just like him, looks just like him,

849
00:55:42.119 --> 00:55:44.000
and the mouth is moving just like him, But it

850
00:55:44.039 --> 00:55:49.239
ain't Tom Cruise. It's a very scary advancement in technology.

851
00:55:49.360 --> 00:55:54.000
So he gets busted for that. Then another inmate turns

852
00:55:54.039 --> 00:56:00.199
him in after the dentist offers him an undisclosed out

853
00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:06.480
of money to murder the lead detective. The guy been

854
00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:10.400
telling you about this whole time on this case. How

855
00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:16.719
about that he even approached a fellow inmate and asked

856
00:56:16.760 --> 00:56:20.760
that fellow inmate to find several attractive females on the

857
00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:24.400
outside who would be willing to testify that they were

858
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:28.719
having affairs with him. And his thought process was that

859
00:56:29.239 --> 00:56:31.920
they would testify to that and then say that Angela

860
00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:35.599
found out they were having affairs with him and wanted

861
00:56:35.639 --> 00:56:39.400
to hire the females to go into cahoots with her

862
00:56:39.559 --> 00:56:43.960
in an effort to frame him. The most bizarre bullshit

863
00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:47.519
I've ever heard. And all this comes out a day

864
00:56:48.199 --> 00:56:53.199
after his lawyer quits. The timing is impeccable, and it's

865
00:56:53.239 --> 00:56:56.239
obvious to me the lawyer wanted nothing more to do

866
00:56:56.320 --> 00:56:59.639
with this jackass. So while the trial was supposed to

867
00:56:59.719 --> 00:57:02.239
take place near the end of twenty twenty four or

868
00:57:02.280 --> 00:57:06.159
at the latest very early twenty twenty five, guess what

869
00:57:07.039 --> 00:57:13.800
it still ain't happened as of this recording. Why well,

870
00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:17.199
this lawyer quit and now a lawyer had to come

871
00:57:17.239 --> 00:57:21.400
in a new lawyer, and they've got to familiarize themselves

872
00:57:21.519 --> 00:57:26.000
with this entire case, and it just delays the shit

873
00:57:26.280 --> 00:57:31.159
out of everything. So here we are, over two years

874
00:57:31.880 --> 00:57:37.480
after this happened, and still no justice for Angela Craig

875
00:57:37.639 --> 00:57:41.880
and those who loved her after her husband allegedly poisoned

876
00:57:41.920 --> 00:57:51.480
her with smoothies tainted with cyinide. Freaking horrible. But that

877
00:57:51.599 --> 00:57:57.719
being said, justice is coming for doctor James Craig and

878
00:57:57.800 --> 00:58:02.159
I'll keep you updated. Thank you so much for listening.
