Woman charged with attempted homicide after repeatedly POISONING her veterinarian husband

A Wisconsin woman accused of repeatedly poisoning her veterinarian husband with animal euthanasia drugs has been charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide.

Amanda Chapin, 50, of Monroe, was charged Dec. 28 in Lafayette County. Authorities say she poisoned her 70-year-old husband, Gary Chapin, three times during July and August, by putting barbiturates in his coffee, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.

According to a criminal complaint, the couple got married in March.

Following the wedding, Amanda Chapin forged the signature of one of her husband’s children on a power-of-attorney document, then demanded her husband amend his house deed so she would get the home if he died.

The complaint says she poisoned her husband for the first time less than three weeks after the quit claim deed on the house was authorized.

The third time he drank the allegedly poisoned coffee, in early August, he fell into a coma that lasted for four days, the complaint said.

Chapin demanded that her husband amend the home’s deed so she can get ownership if he died, the criminal complaint states.

Blood work showed barbiturates in his system came from drugs he used to euthanize animals.

In August, the third time her spouse ingested the toxin, he fell into a coma that lasted four days. A blood test revealed that barbiturates that were in his blood stream indicated they were the same drugs used to to euthanize animals.

After the heinous act, Gary Chapin’s son filed a restraining order against his father’s new wife on his father’s behalf, online court records show.

In September, it was revealed that she violated the restraining order after she emailed her spouse a suicide note that she decided to kill herself because she claimed his children would destroy her, Fox News reported.

‘The only thing I am guilty of is loving you SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH,’ she wrote in the the note, which was included in the complaint.

It is unclear how Amanda tried to take her own life, but she survived after paramedics took her to a local hospital. Her spouse filed for divorce the next day.Adam Witt, Amanda Chapin’s attorney, told Associated Press on Thursday that his client denies the allegations.

‘Under the constitutions of this state and this nation, Ms. Chapin is innocent and has the right to due process under the law,’ Witt said.
