Colorado dentist accused of poisoning wife and mom of 6 after ‘heinous, complex and calculated’ crime leaves her brain dead​

March 20, 2023
A 45-year-old dentist in Colorado faces charges of first-degree murder in the death of his wife, a mother of six children, after severe headaches left her brain dead, investigators said over the weekend.

According to the Aurora Police Department, James Toliver Craig was taken into custody early Sunday morning, days after he allegedly drove his 43-year-old wife to the hospital.

Shortly after arriving at the hospital, the wife’s condition deteriorated rapidly, and she was placed on a ventilator in an intensive care unit. She was declared medically brain dead a short time later.” further investigation revealed that the victim’s sudden death was linked to poison.

Although authorities did not immediately identify the victim, a since-removed website for Craig’s Summerbrook Dental practice said her name was Angela. A Law&Crime search of the Wayback Machine-archived version of that website shows that Dr. Jim Craig called himself and Angela “the proud parents of six great kids”:

There was evidence to suggest James Toliver Craig, 45, was “working on starting a new life” with another woman, a police affidavit says.

Case of Aurora dentist accused of murdering wife finally heading for trial​

After numerous delays and three separate sets of attorneys, the Aurora dentist accused of poisoning his wife finally appears to be headed for trial.

James Craig will stand trial for murder in the March 2023 alleged poisoning death of his wife, Angela.

Jury selection will begin July 10 in a proceeding that is expected to last three weeks. It is the third trial date set in the high-profile murder case.

The tale of Angela Craig's agonizing last days has had so many bizarre developments that it attracted the attention of three major murder mystery programs — 2020, Dateline, and 48 Hours.

This coming Valentine's Day, Craig is scheduled to be in an Arapahoe County courtroom, where investigators will seek to explain a murder-for-hire he allegedly planned from jail.

It's unclear who Craig allegedly wanted killed, but Aurora police spokesperson Joe Moylan confirmed that an Aurora detective was on the alleged hit list.

Craig, 46, faces a total of six charges involving his wife's death, including first-degree murder. He was in court Friday represented by his third set of attorneys in less than two years.
