Notorious 'motel of ill-repute' set to be shut down after being overrun with sex workers
Seattle authorities are taking aim at a crime-ridden motel on a notorious avenue that's become synonymous with sex trafficking, drug deals, and violence. The Oaktree Motel - a 39-room property located on Aurora Avenue - has officially been labeled a 'chronic nuisance' by the Seattle Police Department, following nearly a year of escalating complaints and emergency calls. City officials say the business has repeatedly failed to curb the illegal activity taking place on-site - and now they're moving to shut it down. Police records show that officers responded to the motel 43 times in 2025 alone, including for overdoses, violent assaults, and weapons-related emergencies. In one recent case, a convicted human trafficker was arrested at the motel and told officers that his girlfriend - the motel manager - lived and worked there. Investigators say both the manager and the property owner have refused to cooperate with law enforcement. Police have documented more than a half-dozen serious crimes at the motel - including a fatal overdose, a guest shot on-site, and a drug bust that uncovered crack, meth, heroin, fentanyl, and thousands in cash. Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes criticized the motel's ownership for repeatedly disregarding public safety concerns. Seattle police have responded to the Oaktree Motel 43 times in 2025 alone, with incidents ranging from overdoses and assaults to weapons-related calls 'Time's up for irresponsible owners who turn a blind eye to criminal activity and human suffering,' Barnes said in a statement. 'For much of the past year, this motel owner has ignored requests to improve public safety at the Oaktree, putting the lives of employees, residents, visitors, passersby, and vulnerable populations in danger.' He added, 'By filing this chronic nuisance order we can improve public safety along the Aurora North corridor.' Under city law, the property owner, Madilyn Investments LLC, now has one week to respond to the official nuisance designation. If they fail to take corrective action, the City Attorney's Office could file suit, levy fines, or move to shut the motel down entirely. Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison voiced strong support for the action. 'I thoroughly support Chief Barnes and his decision to declare this a chronic nuisance property,' she said. The Oaktree is one of several motels on Aurora Avenue facing legal action as city officials move to dismantle trafficking networks and curb street-level prostitution 'I think it's crucial that we use every available strategy to stop the illegal drug activity, the use of weapons, and – most urgently – prostitution and human trafficking.' The Oaktree is just the latest in a series of motels along Aurora Avenue to face legal pressure. The area has been plagued by drugs and sex workers while dealing with a homeless crisis. In recent years, three other properties have received the same chronic nuisance label - one of which has since been sold to a commercial real estate developer.

Colorado dentist convicted of murder after poisoning wife's protein shakes
A jury convicted a Colorado dentist of first-degree murder Wednesday after he repeatedly poisoned his wife, including by lacing her protein shakes. Prosecutors had accused James Craig of repeatedly poisoning his wife, Angela Craig, over 10 days in March 2023. When those attempts failed, prosecutors said the dentist gave his wife a final dose of cyanide as she was hospitalized in suburban Denver with symptoms that puzzled doctors. She was declared brain dead soon after. Craig stood in a hushed courtroom Wednesday afternoon as the jury delivered a litany of guilty verdicts on murder and other charges. Afterward, he sat down and his attorneys rested their hands on his shoulder. They whispered to each other while awaiting sentencing. Craig faces life in prison on the murder charge alone. But before he could learn his punishment, Angela Craig's relatives delivered emotional testimony, including by one of the couple's six children who said her father will forever be a villain. Angela Craig's older sister, Toni Kofoed, lamented the loss of phone calls, texts and trips with her sister where they could laugh and talk throughout the night. 'You have taken away our opportunity to grow old together,' Kofoed said. 'Her life was not yours to take,' Kofoed said, turning to the defendant. 'Angela had a love and a passion for life. She loved her children and, unfortunately, she loved you.' In addition to murder, James Craig also was found guilty of trying to cover up the killing by asking others to fake evidence and testimony that would make it appear that Angela Craig had killed herself or wanted to frame him for her death. He was found guilty of asking his daughter to make a fake video of her mother asking to be poisoned and of trying to get one inmate to kill the lead detective investigating his wife's death, among other things. Jurors rejected his claim that his wife sought his help in ending her own life. Several people in the family section of the courtroom were in tears as family members testified about the impact of Angela Craig's death. James Craig himself didn't testify during the two-week trial, and his attorneys didn't present other witnesses. The defense had suggested earlier at trial that Angela Craig may have taken her own life and faulted police for focusing solely on James Craig as a suspect. However, prosecutors said the dentist had offered other conflicting explanations for her death to other people. Toxicology tests determined Angela Craig died of poisoning from cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, an ingredient commonly found in over-the-counter eye drops, according to the coroner. Prosecutors argued James Craig wanted to kill his wife to get out of a marriage he felt trapped in, adding he didn't want a divorce so he could protect his money and image. Prosecutors said photos from a hospital security camera shown in court depict Craig holding a syringe before he entered Angela Craig's room. After administering the fatal dose through her IV, James Craig walked out and texted a fellow dentist with whom he was having an affair, Michael Mauro, senior chief deputy, told jurors in closing arguments. His wife's condition quickly worsened. One of James Craig's attorneys, Lisa Fine Moses, told jurors earlier this week that the image was blurry and syringes that investigators recovered did not contain any poison. She also said the couple wasn't in financial trouble, and that Craig's cheating had been going on for years and had never been a motivation for murder.
