   A Colorado dentist accused of killing his wife by putting poison in her   
   protein shakes was formally charged with first-degree murder on Thursday.   
      
   James Toliver Craig, 45, appeared in an orange prison jumpsuit at the   
   Arapahoe County District Court in Centennial, Colorado, where prosecutors   
   filed formal charges while the defense requested all law enforcement notes   
   to be preserved and for pretrial public comments to be limited. Craig, of   
   Aurora, Colorado, also waived his right to a preliminary hearing within   
   the 35-day window to give his lawyers more time.   
      
   A status hearing was set for April 7 at 3 p.m. MT.   
      
   Craig was arrested early Sunday and preliminarily charged with first-   
   degree murder. He was ordered to be held without bond, according to a   
   press release from the Aurora Police Department and an arrest warrant   
   affidavit obtained by ABC News. A public defender representing Craig did   
   not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.   
      
   The charge stems from the poisoning death of his 43-year-old wife, Angela   
   Craig, who was hospitalized three times in the span of 10 days due to   
   severe headaches and dizziness. She was admitted to UCHealth University of   
   Colorado Hospital in Aurora on the morning of March 15. Soon after, she   
   had a seizure and was placed on a ventilator in the intensive care unit as   
   her condition swiftly deteriorated. She was declared medically brain dead   
   on Saturday afternoon and subsequently taken off life support, leaving   
   doctors at a loss as to what would have caused her rapid decline,   
   according to the affidavit.   
      
   The Aurora Police Department's Major Crimes Homicide Unit was called in to   
   investigate and ultimately discovered that Angela Craig was fatally   
   poisoned.   
      
   "When the suspicious details of this case came to light, our team of   
   officers and homicide detectives tirelessly worked to uncover the truth   
   behind the victim's sudden illness and death," Mark Hildebrand, chief of   
   the Aurora Police Department's Investigations Divisions, said in a   
   statement Sunday. "It was quickly discovered this was in fact a heinous,   
   complex and calculated murder. I am very proud of our Major Crimes   
   Homicide Unit's hard work in solving this case and pursuing justice for   
   the victim."   
      
   In the week's before his wife's death, James Craig used a computer at his   
   Aurora dental practice to create a new email address and conduct online   
   searches related to poison, including "how many grams of pure arsenic will   
   kill a human" and "is arsenic detectable in autopsy," the affidavit said.   
   He also purchased arsenic online on Feb. 23 and the shipment was delivered   
   to his home on March 4, according to the affidavit.   
      
   Two days later, Angela Craig sent a text message to her husband   
   complaining of dizziness and that she felt "drugged," the affidavit said.   
   James Craig responded: "Given our history I know that must be triggering.   
   Just for the record, I didn't drug you. I am super worried though. You   
   really looked pale before I left. Like in your lips even."   
      
   When he asked if she had "eaten anything," Angela Craig said she "had my   
   protein shake," according to the affidavit. She was admitted to Centura   
   Parker Adventist Hospital in Parker, Colorado, where she was treated and   
   released. That same day, James Craig ordered the toxic plant extract   
   oleandrin, but the package was "intercepted by FedEx" and never delivered,   
   the affidavit said.   
      
   While his wife was hospitalized again from March 9 to March 14, James   
   Craig ordered the highly lethal chemical compound potassium cyanide, which   
   was delivered to his dental practice on March 13, according to the   
   affidavit. When Angela Craig was hospitalized for the final time on March   
   15, one of her husband's business partners told an attending nurse about   
   the potassium cyanide delivery and how there was no need for it at their   
   dental practice, prompting the nurse to contact police, according to the   
   affidavit.   
      
   James Craig was known to make his wife protein shakes regularly and   
   investigators believe he had administered the poison through these drinks,   
   the affidavit said. The couple shared six children, according to Denver   
   ABC affiliate KMGH-TV.
