Colorado dentist James Craig - accused of poisoning wife to death - is hit with ... trends now
The brother of the Colorado mother-of-six allegedly poisoned to death by her dentist husband, James Craig, has told of the 'void' she has left in the family and spoken out against what he describes as Craig's 'monstrous deeds.'
Mark Pray, 55, was speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com as it emerged that Craig has been hit with new charges by prosecutors in Aurora who last week filed an additional felony count of solicitation to commit tampering with physical evidence.
It is just over a year since Craig, 46, was charged with first-degree murder following his wife Angela's death on March 18, 2023.
Now, prosecutors allege that, across two weeks of his time in county jail after his arrest the following day, Craig tried to persuade one of his daughters to dispose of key evidence in the case against him.

Angela's brother Mark Pray tells DailyMail.com, 'He manipulates and exploits anyone and anything to evade accountability for his monstrous deeds'
Pray told DailyMail.com that he wanted to thank the Aurora detectives and the DA's office for their 'unwavering dedication for seeking justice' for his 'beloved sister's senseless murder'.
'The heinous actions of her killer have left a void in the lives of her children, our family, her countless friends, and the world, depriving us of Angie's love and light,' he said.
According to Pray, 'This cowardly act, driven by self-absorption, is a stark reminder of the depths of human depravity.
'The recent revelation of evidence tampering serves as damning proof not only of his guilt in orchestrating Angie's torment and demise but also of his utter disregard for the well-being of those around him, including his own children.'

Pray continued, 'He manipulates and exploits anyone and anything to evade accountability for his monstrous deeds. However, his reckoning is inevitable. Whether in this life or the next, justice will prevail, and he will face the consequences of his actions.'
It was Pray who accompanied his sister to hospital on the morning of March 15, concerned by the severe headaches and dizziness she was experiencing.
Within two hours of her admission to University Hospital that day she suffered a devastating seizure and began a rapid decline for which medical staff could find no cause.
Ultimately, with Angela on life-support, intubated and in the Intensive Care Unit medics told the family to prepare for the worst.
She was pronounced brain dead three days later, on March 18, 2023. She was 43 years old.
In the days following her death a deeply disturbing picture emerged of the life lived by the devoted wife of 23 years and mother who committed herself to her marriage despite doubts and despite her husband's numerous infidelities, self-confessed porn addiction and a worrisome gambling habit that ran alongside him, 'running his company into the ground.'
