The couple had been married for 23 years and had six children together. And giving evidence in his murder trial in Colorado, Carrie Hageseth, who met Craig in autumn 2022 through said the defendant had described the plot of The Purge in reference to his wife, where you can kill anyone within 24 hours and not face consequences. 'He didn't say specifically her, but said that he knew how he would be able to get away with … injecting somebody in the neck with a substance,' said Ms Hageseth. The single mum told how Craig 'mentioned he could use potassium chloride, or potassium something, because it was untraceable'. Ms Hegeseth, who was reportedly struggling financially, was paid thousands for lawyer fees for her divorce by Craig, who also paid for meals and hotels, the court was told on Wednesday. She continued: 'He told me that he was not happy and that he was trying to figure out how to get divorced.' While she also told her that 'financial separation from [Angela] was near impossible. 'One thing I remember specifically is that he said that it'd make him completely broke and destitute, such as the situation that I was in.' At one point Ms Hageseth alleged that Craig asked her: 'Do you know anyone who can help me with my problem down here?', with her understanding him to be referring to his wife. While he added that he could pay 'handsomely' and that he wanted to be with her. She responded that she thought he should 'hit up a homeless person' who 'doesn't have much to lose'. The court was told by Ms Hageseth that their relationship ended in February, 2023, and that he then started a new relationship with Karin Cain, an orthodontist from Texas who he had met at a conference, reported Denver7. The prosecution alleges that Craig killed his wife due to extramarital affairs and his financial problems. Police allege that he searched online for answers to questions such as 'is arsenic detectable in an autopsy?' and 'how to make murder look like a heart attack. While days later, James Craig's wife, Angela Craig, turned to Google to try to figure out why she was experiencing symptoms like vertigo, shaking and cold lips, and she searched for doctors who could help her. Craig gave his wife a final dose of poison after she had already been admitted to the hospital and as doctors tried to work out what was wrong with her Assistant District Attorney Ryan Brackley told the court. 'He went in that room to murder her, to deliberately and intentionally end her life with a fatal dose of cyanide,' Brackley told jurors during opening arguments.
