Connecticut mother charged with antifreeze poisoning
Kristen Hogan, 33, of Ridgefield, Connecticut, was arrested by Connecticut State Police and charged with two counts of attempted murder and one count of interfering with an officer after authorities say she admitted putting ethylene glycol (antifreeze) into her estranged husband’s wine and an iced tea amid a child‑custody dispute. The husband fell ill after a court appearance on Aug. 7 and was hospitalized; investigators say wine tested positive for ethylene glycol, the couple’s child presented similar symptoms in September, and prosecutors have held Hogan on $1 million bond.
