Some Most Cruel Wives

**-- In 2005, Stacey Castor, 41, used a kitchen baster to give antifreeze to his second husband, David Castor over a four-day-period, and then staged the scene to make it appear a suicide. Investigation found he had ingested ethylene glycol. Suspecting his wife, they exhumed the body of Castors's first husband, who died in 2000 of a heart attack. Chemical analysis showed his body contained ethylene glycol as well. This threw more suspicion on Stacey Castor, but she had a back up plan. She arranged evidence to point finger at her own daughter, Ashley!. Castor accused her teenage daughter of killing her father and step father, despite the fact that Ashley was only 11 year old when Michael Wallace died. In 2007, Ashley Wallace was hospitalized for over dose of prescription pills and vodka. There was a suicide note in which she confessed to the murder of her step father. The only problem was that Ashley survived to testify against her mother in her 2009 trial. Castor faces 25 years to life for the murder of David Castro and attempted murder of her daughter Ashley Wallace.

One night husband was overcome by curiosity and tried to lift his wife's veil to have a look at her face, as she slept. It was an error he is unlikely to be given a chance to repeat for his outraged wife who woke up during his sneak peek and decided to demand a divorce. The betrayed wife said her husband apologized and promised never to do it again, but she insisted she wanted a divorce.
