North Carolina Man Faces New Poisoning Accusations After Wife’s Mysterious Death
A North Carolina man, Joshua Hunsucker, finds himself at the center of a dark narrative, accused of trying to poison his daughter after allegedly killing his wife with eyedrops in 2018, as reported by the Gaston Gazette.
Alarming Allegations Involving Tetrahydrozoline
Prosecutors allege that in February 2023, the 39-year-old father administered a toxic substance, an alarming echo from his past. This time, the victim was his then-10-year-old daughter. Five years after the tragic death of his wife, Stacy Hunsucker, 32, questions loom over his intentions.
The alleged poisoning sent the child to the hospital and appears to be a twisted attempt to frame his wife’s parents, John and Susie Robinson, for Stacy’s demise. Such actions paint a chilling portrait of a man who, according to prosecutors, may not only have ended one life but attempted to jeopardize another.

A Toxic Legacy of Deception
Stacy’s death, reportedly caused by the chemical tetrahydrozoline found in common eyedrops, was followed by a rushed burial. This hasty act raises eyebrows, especially since her blood had been preserved due to her status as an organ donor. It is a haunting reminder of how some individuals manipulate grief for personal gain.
Once the investigation shifted its focus toward him, authorities conducted blood tests that unveiled the truth: poison had taken her life. Hunsucker allegedly poisoned her repeatedly over time, gradually leading to her untimely end. Furthermore, witness accounts suggest he jokingly remarked to others that he might use eyedrops for murder—a strikingly morbid confession that now feels like a twisted forewarning.
Arrested in December 2019, Hunsucker was released on a substantial $1.5 million bond, waiting for trial on first-degree murder charges. However, with the new accusations surfacing, he revisited the courts recently, and the atmosphere grew tense as prosecutors sought to revoke his bail—a request that was granted. His freedom, once a distant memory, now hangs precariously as the situation escalates.
Patterns of Intimidation and Disturbing Claims
Aside from the recent poisoning charges, Hunsucker faces allegations of witness intimidation, having harassed the Robinsons at their residence. His relentless efforts to blame them for his wife’s death hint at a sinister pattern; a desperate attempt to redirect suspicion and maintain control over a spiraling narrative. His claims of being assaulted and kidnapped by John Robinson appear flimsy at best, drawing skepticism amidst rising tensions.

A recent barrage of legal filings accuses Hunsucker of further acts of intimidation, including covertly recording the Robinsons, sending suspicious packages, and driving menacingly past their home. These actions have left many worried, especially regarding the safety of his children and the Robinsons themselves. Prosecutors have voiced deep concerns over Hunsucker’s potential for continued dangerous behavior.
The Complexity of Human Emotion in True Crime
In the haunting landscape of this story, one discovers the complex layers of human emotion: grief intertwined with treachery, desperation cloaked as parental care. The shadows cast by Hunsucker’s actions leave the community grappling with disbelief, anger, and an urgent need for justice. Families can bond through shared stories and tragedies, yet these tales serve a dual purpose, reminding us how quickly love can morph into its antithesis—betrayal.
As Hunsucker sits behind bars, the chilling question remains: how far can one man go to mask a hidden truth? With this case unraveling layer by layer, the echoes of deception linger. Justice, though slow, never forgets.
