James Keown, a radio talk-show host in Jefferson City, Missouri, was arrested today for allegedly murdering his wife. Authorities believe he spiked her Gatorade with anti-freeze.

Prosecutors said he slowly poisoned Julie Keown, 31, with ethylene glycol while the couple were living in Massachusetts in 2004… The couple moved to Waltham, Mass., from Missouri in 2004. In May of that year, Julie Keown, a registered nurse, began suffering from nausea, vomiting and dizziness and developed a rash on her leg. She slipped into a coma in September and died.

What does it say about talk-show hosts that one could do this to his wife? And what does it say about Gatorade that even a regular Gatorade drinker can’t tell when her Gatorade has been spiked with anti-freeze?

James Keown has a blog, and it’s still up. There are pictures of his co-workers, his current girlfriend (talk about dodging a bullet!), and her dog. But check out the comments section—it’s quickly filling up with messages from people who don’t approve of inflicting an agonizing and slow death on another human being. It’s pretty entertaining/distressing reading. More interesting than the comments from readers, though, are the banal posts that James put up on his blog shortly before his arrest. I found this post to be particularly poignant:

I have a confession to make. Today it was sunny and 74 degrees—and I skipped out of work during the middle of the day. There are not going to be many more days like this.

No there aren’t, James. Not for you.

UPDATE: James says, “Drink up!”
