A woman has been accused of attempting to induce a miscarriage in a pregnant woman by sending a ‘family size pan of lasagna’ that was allegedly tainted. Amber Snow, 36, was arrested for allegedly conspiring with another person to cause a miscarriage by providing the woman’s family with a “tainted” lasagna. Authorities reported that the lasagna, suspected of being laced with a substance, tested positive for oxycodone after testing. The police stated that the dish was intended to cause a miscarriage in the pregnant woman who received it, but both the woman and her baby are safe. The investigation revealed messages exchanged between Snow and her alleged co-conspirators that led to their arrest.
Snow is facing multiple charges, including controlled substance violation, attempted non-consensual termination of a pregnancy, child endangerment, administering harmful substances to an adult, and administering harmful substances to a juvenile. She is currently in custody on a $100,000 cash bond, and it is unclear if she has legal representation. Authorities have hinted at more arrests in the case.
This incident draws parallels to the well-known Australian beef Wellington murders, where Erin Patterson was convicted of poisoning three relatives by using toxic death cap mushrooms in a meal. Despite her defense claiming accidental poisoning due to foraging lethal mushrooms, the jury found her guilty. The victims of the incident were Patterson’s former in-laws, Don Patterson, 70, and Gail Patterson, 70, as well as Gail’s sister, Heather Wilkinson, 66. Heather’s husband, Pastor Ian Wilkinson, survived after a lengthy hospitalization.
