According to the Strafford County grand jury indictments handed down on Jan. 11, the three "acted in concert" in dispensing a quantity of fentanyl on New Year's Eve 2019 to Amanda Morse of Rochester, "who subsequently ingested the drug resulting in her death."
Amanda Elizabeth Morse died at her Rochester home. According to her obituary, she left behind four children.
Strafford County Assistant Attorney Patrick Conroy who is prosecuting the case said on Wednesday he would have no comment on the case for now.
