Manhattan Indicts Tabitha Bundrick in Triple Fentanyl Murder Case, Held Without Bail

The state case proceeds alongside her earlier 13-year federal sentence on related drug charges.

Overview

  • Prosecutors charged Bundrick with three counts of second-degree murder plus robbery, burglary and assault in a state grand jury indictment announced Sept. 24.
  • She pleaded not guilty at her arraignment in Manhattan and was remanded without bail as the District Attorney described a calculated drugging-and-robbery pattern.
  • Authorities allege she lured men in Upper Manhattan between April 2023 and February 2024, provided fentanyl-laced drugs she represented as cocaine, and stole valuables once they were incapacitated.
  • The indictment identifies three fatalities — Mario Paullan, 42, Miguel Navez, 39, and Abrihan Fernandez, 34 — and cites evidence including stolen phones, repeated use of Fernandez’s credit card, and four pairs of victims’ sneakers recovered in a search.
  • The DA asked additional potential victims to come forward, while defense filings portray Bundrick as mentally ill and not a calculated killer.
