Summary
Description:
You think the poisoning was bad? Let’s talk about what came next.
After allegedly killing his wife Angela, James Craig didn’t stop. According to prosecutors, he wrote a letter from jail asking his teenage daughter to help create a fake suicide confession video — a deepfake of Angela admitting to taking her own life. It’s one of the most disturbing acts of post-crime manipulation we’ve seen in recent years.
In this episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me to dig into the psychological abuse behind that kind of move. We’re talking about emotional grooming. Family system dysfunction. And how long-term manipulation conditions people — even children — to do unthinkable things for someone they trust.
We also explore what Angela’s final months might have looked like under this lens. Was she being gaslit? Emotionally isolated? How does coercive control operate in “respectable” families? This isn’t just about the murder. It’s about the ripple effects of a sociopathic personality whose need to control didn’t stop with the crime — and may have only gotten worse.
This is where the emotional wreckage begins — and it’s where the deeper damage lives.
