A former North Carolina paramedic who bonded out of jail just in time for Christmas in 2019 after being accused of fatally poisoning his wife with Visine and having her cremated right away is now suspected of also tainting his daughter’s drink with eye drops — as part of an alleged plot to pin her mother’s death on his in-laws.

Joshua Lee Hunsucker, now 39, was booked into jail in Gaston County on Tuesday afternoon, the same day that he was hit with witness intimidation and obstruction indictments, as Special Prosecutor R. Jordan Green and DA Travis Page sought to have his bond revoked.

In September 2018, Stacy Hunsucker, a mother of two daughters, died at the age of 32 from a cardiac arrest at her Mount Holly home, a death which seemed to be due to natural causes linked to known heart issues — Stacy had a pacemaker — but the way her husband of eight years allegedly acted in the immediate aftermath of her death only heightened suspicions.

Joshua allegedly insisted on there being no autopsy and had Stacy’s remains cremated swiftly, but Stacy was an organ donor and ensuing testing of a blood sample showed startlingly high levels of tetrahydrozoline, a chemical ingredient in eyedrops.
