Overview
- Matthew Uthoff became the second person arrested in Decorah after investigators linked him and Amber Snow to lasagna that police say was dosed with oxycodone to cause a miscarriage.
- A state crime lab analysis found the lasagna contained the prescription opioid, according to the Winneshiek County sheriff’s office.
- Investigators say text messages and internet searches connected the pair to the plan, and police records indicate the woman was not harmed and the fetus survived.
- Both suspects face multiple counts that include attempting to terminate a pregnancy without consent, administering a harmful substance to an adult and a juvenile, and child endangerment, with each held on a $100,000 cash bond.
- The case grew out of a late-December 2025 delivery to a family linked to Snow through a custody arrangement, and court filings list Snow’s arraignment for April 7 as the investigation continues.
