Manhattan sex worker sentenced for fentanyl-fueled murders of three clients
Tabitha Bundrick pleaded guilty to killing three men by drugging them with fentanyl during robberies and faces a sentence of 27 years to life.
In Manhattan, Tabitha Bundrick, 39, entered a guilty plea for the calculated murders of three men she had lured to apartments for sex. Prosecutors say she spiked the victims with fentanyl, rendered them unconscious, and then robbed them of cash, phones, watches, clothing and sneakers. The murders spanned from April 2023 to February 2024, targeting Mario Paullan, Miguel Navez and Abrihan Fernandez, all of whom were found dead.
Bundrick also faces a distinct charge for drugging another individual who survived the assault. She was previously sentenced to a federal term for drug distribution tied to the same scheme, and the new state sentence of 27 years to life will run at the same time. Sentencing is scheduled for October 6, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg highlighted her “shocking indifference” to human life.
Why it matters
The case underscores the lethal potential of drug-facilitated crimes and the severe penalties for such violent robberies.
