Stefan Alexandru Barabas was involved in a home invasion and extortion scheme in South Kent, Connecticut, on April 15, 2007. Along with Emanuel Nicolescu, Alexandru Nicolescu, and Michael N. Kennedy (also known as Nicolae Helerea), Barabas broke into a home, masked and armed, and injected the residents with a substance they claimed was lethal, demanding $8.5 million for the antidote. When the victims couldn't comply, the intruders drugged them with sleeping pills and fled in the homeowner's Jeep, which they abandoned the next day.


The investigation linked Barabas and his accomplices through DNA evidence, cell phone records, and a connection to an accordion case containing items used in the crime. Barabas was a fugitive until his arrest, years later, as part of a broader investigation that saw his co-conspirators convicted and sentenced to lengthy prison terms.


James Toliver Craig is a dentist from Aurora, Colorado, who was arrested for the alleged murder of his wife, Angela Craig, through poisoning. James Craig, 45, was taken into custody on March 19, 2023, and charged with first-degree murder. His arrest followed Angela Craig's death after she experienced severe health issues attributed to poisoning by cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, an ingredient found in Visine​.

According to court documents, Angela Craig fell ill several times before her death, exhibiting symptoms consistent with poisoning. James Craig was found to have purchased toxic substances, including arsenic and potassium cyanide, and had used his office computer to research undetectable poisons. Investigations revealed that he ordered these chemicals under the pretext of using them for medical research and dental procedures.


Further complicating the case, it was discovered that James Craig was in communication with another woman during the period of his wife's illness, suggesting a possible motive related to an extramarital affair. Additionally, while in jail, Craig faced new charges of solicitation to commit tampering with physical evidence, as he allegedly tried to persuade someone to interfere with the investigation.
