In a troubling development from Gaston County, North Carolina, 39-year-old Joshua Lee Hunsucker is now facing additional accusations on top of the charge of murdering his wife, Stacy Hunsucker, with eyedrops containing tetrahydrozoline—a substance that is toxic when ingested. QCNews reports that Hunsucker was arrested and charged with several counts of intimidating witnesses and obstructing justice, police claims he repeatedly intimidated his former in-laws and allegedly poisoned his 11-year-old daughter with the same substance that led to his wife's death.

Stacy Hunsucker's death in 2018 was initially attributed to a heart attack, but an autopsy later unveiled high levels of tetrahydrozoline in her bloodstream, prompting a murder charge against her husband in December 2019; he posted the subsequent $1.5 million bond. Furthermore, in a bizarre twist, Joshua was charged with starting a fire aboard an Atrium Health helicopter in 2019, and he is also accused of concocting a story about being assaulted and framing his former father-in-law, claims that the Mount Holly Police Department found baseless. According to KTLA, this alleged scheme included injecting himself with an unknown substance after he said he was pistol-whipped and zip-tied.

The recent charges stemmed from a February incident where Hunsucker supposedly poisoned a drink meant for his daughter, leading to her hospital treatment, a motion that has been supported by Stacy Hunsucker's parents, who question the integrity of their ex-son-in-law and call for his bond to be revoked—a motion detailed in reporting by FOX 5 San Diego. They assert that the poisoning was designed to implicate them further and exclude them from their granddaughters' lives, a furtherance of a pattern of alleged intimidation and harassment involving following the Robinsons, sending demanding mail, and other transgressions.

The fate of Joshua Hunsucker, who entered a not guilty plea in February 2023 for the helicopter incident, now rests in the progression of his trials, his initial motive having been identified by prosecutors as life insurance money, he collected $250,000 after Stacy's death, which they allege was the incentive behind the original poisoning, yet the case concerning the death of Stacy has not been resolved in court, further untangling of these tangled webs still remains as justice's slow wheel turn. Families fractured, a daughter poisoned, intimidations alleged—Hunsucker embroils himself further into a narrative that is a morass of accusation and distress, the legal system yet to deliver its final judgement on these matters that edge into the realm of the incredulous and devastating.
