Dentist James Craig Poisoned his Wife's Protein Shakes with Potassium Cyanide

Dentist James Craig Poisoned his Wife's Protein Shakes with Potassium Cyanide

Dentist Dr James Craig and his wife Angela seemed to be living the dream with their six children in Aurora, Colorado. James seemed to be well-liked, and by all accounts was a great employer. There are photos of him online dressed up as the Tooth Fairy, always smiling broadly. Angela had James down in her phone as ‘The Boy’. The couple worked out together and appeared close.

Life is not always what it appears on the surface. James was conducting an affair with an Orthodontist in Texas and he needed Angela out of the way.

James made a new email account and conducted searches about what the best way to kill someone with poison was. He ordered potassium cyanide to be delivered to his office. He put the poison in Angela’s protein smoothies, multiple times, until she finally died in hospital in March 2023.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the insane case of Dr James Craig who allegedly poisoned his wife Angela to death.

Home is where the body is

Home is where the body is

When someone is reported missing, it's generally safe to assume they're not in their house. Surely, the police or the family would have checked there already.  Except sometimes, after the headlines, the search parties, and the emotional public pleas from family members - that's exactly where the person turns up. In this episode, we cover a handful of cases where this phenomenon happened and the theories surrounding them. Julie Snyder, Molly Meghan Miller, and Christopher Woitel were all found dead in their homes after being reported missing and searched for.  Don't want to listen to the intro?

Moms Who Murder

Moms Who Murder

A mother is meant to be the ultimate protector of their children.  Sometimes though, they are perpetrators of the ultimate betrayal. In this episode we speak about four cases where mothers have taken the lives of their children, before killing themselves.  What could drive a woman to the edge like this? 1 – Michele Boudreau Deegan drugged her twin 7 y/o daughters before shooting them and then herself in the head 2 – Cynthia Collier fired 34 rounds into her four adopted teenage children, before taking her own life 3 – Kimbra Shanafelt and her 5 y/o daughter were found dead in their home from carbon monoxide poisoning 4 – Tristen Watson was pregnant when she took her toddler son into the Rocky Mountains National Park.  She shot him and then herself, and her unborn baby also passed away.

The Lonely Death of Evelyn Boswell

The Lonely Death of Evelyn Boswell

15-month-old Evelyn Boswell was reported missing on February 19th, 2020 by her grandfather, but she hadn't actually been seen since December 2019. I'm sure you're wondering - how does a missing baby go unreported for 2 months? Her mother, 18-year-old Megan Boswell, tried to explain during an interview, "Well, the reason I didn’t report it or anything was I knew the person who had her and I didn’t want them to run away with her. In a way, I knew that as soon as anything went down this person was going to disappear and they have." A month later, Evelyn's remains were found in a shed on a family member's property with her toys, clothes, and diapers. With a family full of felons pointing fingers at each other, investigators had a long road ahead of them - but ultimately they were able to make an arrest.
