The Connecticut woman accused of trying to poison her estranged husband with antifreeze chemicals amid a contentious custody battle allegedly faked a paternity test by trying to pass her nephew off as her son.

As Law&Crime has previously reported , Kristen Hogan, 33, allegedly poisoned her husband's wine and iced tea in August, using ethylene glycol, a chemical used in antifreeze. Hogan's husband told investigators he believed she dosed the drinks while he wasn't home and left them in the refrigerator for him to consume. He ultimately had to be hospitalized, and police say that while Hogan initially denied responsibility, she later admitted to doing it.
