Summary

** This episode was recorded live** He was a respected dentist, a father of six, and a devout Mormon—but behind closed doors, James Craig was plotting his wife’s murder with arsenic and cyanide. In this episode, we sit down with a clinical psychologist to break down Craig’s disturbing behavior, his manipulative actions, and the chilling psychology behind the smiling husband-turned-killer. About Hidden True Crime: What started as a simple conversation at their dinner table became a captivating podcast.
