A Manhattan prostitute has pleaded guilty to killing three men by providing them with fentanyl-laced drugs and then stealing their belongings. Tabitha Bundrick, 39, admitted Tuesday to administering the potent synthetic opioid to clients between April 2023 and February 2024.
According to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, Bundrick would give the drugs to her victims and then take their personal items, including cell phones, sneakers, money, and watches, as they became unconscious and subsequently died. In several instances, friends or family members discovered the victims' bodies.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg stated that Bundrick displayed a "shocking indifference" to the lives of her victims. She is expected to be sentenced to 27 years to life imprisonment for three counts of second-degree murder and one count of second-degree assault.
Criminal Incidents
The first incident occurred on April 30, 2023, when Bundrick met Mario Paullan, 42, and a friend and offered them sex for money. She led them to an apartment she had broken into. After consuming the drugs provided by Bundrick, Paullan's friend awoke to find Paullan deceased the following morning, with their belongings missing.
Months later, Bundrick met Miguel Navez, 39, in his apartment and supplied him with drugs. Navez was found dead three days later by his brother, and his possessions were also stolen.
The third death occurred on February 25, 2024, when Abrihan Fernandez, 34, died in his apartment. Bundrick was observed entering and exiting the Upper Manhattan residence multiple times carrying large bags.
Bundrick is scheduled to be sentenced on October 6.
