Iowa Woman Charged in Alleged Oxycodone-Laced Lasagna Plot to End Pregnancy

Authorities say state lab tests confirmed oxycodone as detectives pursue an accomplice.

Overview

  • Amber Dena Snow, 36, was arrested in Winneshiek County and faces counts including conspiracy to intentionally terminate a pregnancy, delivery of a controlled substance, and child endangerment.
  • Investigators say a family-size pan of lasagna was delivered on Dec. 28 and Iowa DCI testing confirmed the presence of oxycodone.
  • Detectives report finding internet searches, messages, and phone communications linking Snow to a suspected co-conspirator, with additional arrests expected.
  • Officials have not said whether the pregnant woman ate the dish; a sheriff’s deputy said the woman and baby were not harmed.
  • Reports differ on bond conditions, with outlets citing either $1,000,000 or a $100,000 cash bond, and records show Snow remains held in the county jail.
