Clay Woman Charged With Husband’s Poisoning Death - NewsChannel 9 WSYR: "Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - A Clay woman has been charged in the poisoning death of her husband and investigators say this may not be the first time.

The Onondaga County Sheriff’s Department says Stacey Castor, 40, has been charged with the 2nd degree murder for the death of David Castor, 48.

He died on August 22, 2005 and deputies have been investigating his death ever since. His death was originally ruled a suicide by ingesting ethylene glycol, which is found in anti-freeze, but detectives continued to investigate the death, eventually ruling it a homicide.

During that investigation, they learned Stacey Castor’s first husband, Michael Wallace, died January 11th, 2000. His death was originally ruled a heart attack.

As part of a joint investigation with the Cayuga County Sheriff’s department, Wallace’s body was exhumed on September 5th. The medical examiner determined the cause of death to be murder by ethylene glycol poisoning."

My first quick glance at the headline led to an erroneous impression. "Clay woman"? What is she really made of? And could a Clay woman marry a straw man and build a good, solid home?

Wasn't that a movie starring Sharon Stone?

If the husbands had money (or big insurance policies) it is a classic "Black Widow" murder situation. tons of books and movies about them (not to mention an episode of "CSI" where you had two women sharing the profits and basically getting away with it).
