Summary

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.

0:23.6	What's up guys? Welcome to another episode of True Crime Society podcast with Stephanie and Olivia.
0:28.7	It's March 30th right now, the end of the month. Well, I think there's 31 days in March.
0:34.6	So almost the end of the month could be relevant to this case just because it is a fairly
0:41.6	recent one. A lot of you guys were interested in this one. It is about the dentist whose name I
0:48.1	literally cannot remember. I know it's first in what James Craig. Yeah. The dentist is Dr. James
0:54.0	Toliver Craig. Yeah. He's got a very generic name. Yeah. For some reason I always forget his name
1:00.3	because it's like very generic vanilla name. When you google him there's actually a lot of Dr. James
1:05.5	Craig. So not tracking. No. But yeah, so a lot of you guys want us to cover this one since it is
1:12.7	out of Colorado. They have like an open records act. So the affidavit was like 50 something pages
1:17.4	long. It had so many text messages in it and a lot of you messages being like these texts are
1:22.1	really long and hard to read. Can you just read them to us instead? And we're like, okay.
1:27.2	It's always crazy to me when they release so much information early on in the case that this was
1:31.5	literally days after the crime and happened. And I feel like still there's some cases that are
1:35.6	years old where we don't know anything. So yeah, it's always interesting. And just because this one
1:41.3	is especially wild and unbelievable. It's a really, you know, one that has captivated a lot of
1:48.9	people. Yeah. When it all came out, I sat for probably like an hour, maybe an hour and a half
1:54.4	and was just reading through everything. But it really gives you like a full picture of everything
2:00.2	that was going on. I feel like this one is even more crazy than the Anna and Brian Walsh story which
2:06.2	we did a little while ago. Like that same crazy enough with all his Google searches. But when we're
2:10.0	getting to this one, just what some people think they're going to get away with and the audacity of
