David had a grown son while Stacey had her daughters. Two years later, the wife made a 911 call saying David hadn't shown up for work and locked her out of their bedroom a day before. Sergeant Michael Norton with the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office recounted Stacey describing her husband's behavior. ...David got upset, took a bottle of Southern Comfort, went into the bedroom and locked himself in, and reportedly got drunk \- wouldn't come out,... she had said, according to Norton. Police responded to Stacey's call and found David Castor dead in his bedroom of an apparent suicide. At the scene, police found a glass on his bedside table containing antifreeze and a canister of the stuff under the bed. DISTURBING CLUES Officials then discovered a turkey baster in the kitchen trash can that smelled of alcohol, which led them to suspect foul play. David had left everything to Stacey and her daughters in his will, mysteriously leaving out his own son. Police then began to suspect that both of Stacey Castor's husbands were poisoned with antifreeze, which ABC News called a painful death that leads to the formation of crystals in the organs. Investigators exhumed Wallace's body and the medical examiner found it was ...loaded with crystals.... ...LOADED WITH CRYSTALS' "I knew at that point we had a double homicide and Stacey Castor probably killed both her husbands," Det Dominick Spinelli of the Onondaga County Sheriff's said. As officials searched for more information that could indict Castor for the deaths, the mother's evil schemes were far from over. Stacey proposed that she and Ashley have drinks to celebrate her 21st birthday early, former detective Valerie Brogan said. Ashley told police she drank a cocktail that her mother made and remembered it not tasting very good. The daughter said the mother gave her a straw to make the drink go down easier. After having the cocktail, Ashley felt tired and went to lay down. The next day, her sister Bree discovered Ashley was barely breathing and yelled to their mother. ...MINUTES FROM DEATH' Stacey called 911 and told the dispatcher that Ashley had consumed alcohol the night before and quite a few doses of medication. Officials said Ashley was ...15 minutes from death... when she was saved by first responders, who found she had a cocktail of drugs in her system. Police found even more concerning details surrounding Ashley's near-death experience. ...I told her that there was a suicide note indicating that she had killed her father and her stepfather,... Sergeant Norton said. ...She looked at me really wide-eyed and flat out says, ...I did not try to kill myself, nor did I leave a suicide note.'... SUICIDE NOTE MYSTERY Ashley also denied killing her father and stepfather. Computer evidence reportedly showed that Stacey wrote Ashley's "suicide" letter with two drafts discovered during the crime investigation. Officials took Stacey Castor to court, where a jury determined she lied about her husband's deaths and her daughter's suicide attempt. She was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of David Castor, attempted murder of her daughter, and forging Castor's will. In 2009, Stacey was sentenced to 51 years to life in prison. She died in prison in 2016 from natural causes at 48 years old.
