Murderous Dentist James Craig's 'Sugar Dating' Life Revealed

Murderous Dentist James Craig's 'Sugar Dating' Life Revealed

The lead up to James Craig’s trial was bizarre.....two postponements, three different attorney teams, five added charges, and a crazy action from an attorney, who allegedly set his own house on fire.

Still, the Aurora dentist’s trial began and ended after jurors heard from four mistresses who said James Craig told them his marriage was over, but a divorce would break him financially.

Crag faced six felony counts:

  • Murder in the first degree
  • Two counts of solicitation to commit tampering with physical evidence
  • Three counts of solicitation to commit perjury in the first degree

Court documents show Craig, jailed on a murder charge of his wife, Angela Craig, still allegedly worked to convince inmates, a former mistress, and even one of his own children to tamper with evidence, to plant it to make it look like Angela Craig wanted to kill herself.

Prosecutors say James Craig even made a botched murder-for-hire attempt on the case’s lead detective just before a second attempt at trial last year. Craig allegedly offered people cash and dental work in return for a cover-up.

Craig insists he ordered poison because she asked him to.

James Craig and his wife Angela were married for over 20 years. They created a beautiful family of six, loving, happy family, happy children. Between work and taking care of their children, the Craigs still manage to fit a workout into their daily routine.

The husband and wife go for a run or hit the gym together almost every day, and when they return home, James Craig makes protein shakes or fruit smoothies for breakfast while Angela delves into getting the kids ready for the day.

Angela complains of having a really nasty headache, along with problems with her eyesight. She goes to the hospital, saying she feels tingly and cold.

Doctors cannot figure out what's wrong with her. Angela goes to the hospital multiple times, only to be sent home. When she goes back for a third time, that's when she's checked in, and her condition deteriorates, coding quickly. Angela passes away.

One of Summer Brooks’ dental assistants recalls opening a package for Dr. Craig that had potassium cyanide in it. She googles the symptoms of cyanide poisoning and is horrified at how closely they match Angela’s symptoms.

She immediately calls Craig’s partner, Ryan Redfearn, hoping he has some other explanation for the contents of the package...but he doesn’t. While visiting Angela, Redfearn tells a nurse about the cyanide, explaining there’s no medical use for the element in their practice. As a mandatory reporter, the nurse calls the police.

With suspicions raised, Angela Craig is sent for an autopsy with additional toxicology screening. Tests reveal the otherwise healthy mom of six died of poisoning from both cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, a common ingredient in eyedrops.

While investigators have no definitive evidence that Angela’s food and drinks were poisoned with cyanide, the tests reveal her cyanide levels increased while she was in the hospital.

Police then check Craig's computer, finding strange searches. One of them was how to poison someone, how to make poison, and the top five or top 10 undetectable poisons that people won't be able to find after someone has died, and will not signal foul play.

Less than 24 hours after his wife’s death, dentist James Toliver Craig is arrested for Angela’s murder and additionally charged with tampering with evidence.

A 52-page arrest affidavit details Craig’s concerning computer searches, three poison orders, an ongoing affair, and proof that Craig took several measures to cover his tracks.

Police then learn the dentist allegedly tried to hire his cellmate to kill Aurora PD’s lead detective, Bobbi Jo Olson, for $20,000. Calling Olson the “worst, dirtiest detective,”

James Craig tried to recruit Nathaniel Harris to take her out for cash or free dental work. Olson wasn’t the only person on his list. Craig also asked Harris to kill another Aurora PD officer and two inmates, ‘Roger’ and ‘Tommy.’

Now the details of Craig's "sugar dating life" revealed.
