A mother in Connecticut allegedly poisoned her husband with antifreeze while the two were fighting for custody of their child.

Kristen Hogan, a 33-year-old from Ridgefield, was taken into custody by Connecticut State Police on Friday, facing two attempted murder charges and one for interfering with an officer, as pointed out in information released by the agency.

Her husband, whose name is not mentioned in the court papers, attended a court hearing about their child on August 7. However, Hogan was absent. Authorities reported that while he was in the court session and expecting Hogan, he received an alert indicating she was uploading data through the Wi-Fi at their home. Upon his return, Hogan was not present at their residence.

On that same day, Hogan’s husband consumed a “small amount” of wine stored in his refrigerator. He later awoke “in the middle of the night” feeling “increasingly ill.” His mother, arriving at 6 a.m. to aid him, discovered him “slurring his words, stumbling, and vomiting” and consequently took him to the hospital.

Authorities claimed that when they examined Hogan’s phone, they found searches related to various chemical substances, such as monoethylene glycol, as per court records. It was noted that she also looked up how much of these chemicals “would be lethal.”

“Hogan was puzzled by the chemical names but mentioned recognizing ‘cyanide’ from the TV show ‘Psych,’” officials documented.

Initially, Hogan denied using antifreeze to poison her husband but later confessed to adding ethylene glycol to his wine bottle. Nevertheless, she claimed she “never intended to kill him, only to make him sick as revenge for his alleged mental abuse,” the authorities stated.

Authorities said that Hogan put ethylene glycol in a bottle of tea on a separate occasion, adding she was trying to make her husband sick. Their child was also hospitalized in September and presented similar symptoms as the husband, according to authorities.

“Hogan stated it was only the wine and the iced tea, and nobody else knew she was tampering with [the victim’s] drinks,” according to the arrest affidavit.

When her husband was asked why Hogan would poison the wine, he “believed that a motive for him being poisoned is the fact that Hogan would become the full owner of the residence and would gain full-time custody of their child,” according to the arrest affidavit.

Hogan is being held on a $1 million bond.
