James Craig: The Narcissist Dentist's Deadly Double Life

Dive deep into the chilling case of James Craig, the Colorado dentist accused of poisoning his wife, Angela. In this first episode of our "Unmasking the Mind of a Murderer" series, we explore the disturbing psychological persona James Craig presented to the world, contrasting it with the malevolent actions he allegedly committed. Licensed psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Host Tony Brueski of Hidden Killers to dissect the deceptive charm often used by individuals with severe personality disorders.

We examine whether Craig's behavior aligns with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, exploring how narcissists leverage charm to disarm suspicion and maintain a perfect facade. Learn about the unsettling ability to compartmentalize a double life, balancing a public image of devotion while allegedly plotting murder. What psychological mechanisms allow high-functioning individuals like Craig to split their lives with zero guilt?

This episode also probes the influence of religious environments, such as Craig's LDS/Mormon background, and how such communities might create pressure to maintain a moral mask, potentially fostering deeper repression. We discuss critical early warning signs that might have been missed by those closest to him and how families can inadvertently normalize sociopathic behavior over years of emotional manipulation. Discover the risks of overlooking charm, especially when it comes from respected figures. This isn't just about a murder case; it's an urgent exploration of the mind behind the monster and the hidden dangers of psychological deception.
