NYC escort admits killing three men with fentanyl-laced drugs so she could rob them while they were unconscious

Tabitha Bundrick pleaded guilty to the killings of three men she drugged with fentanyl to facilitate robberies. She is now reportedly facing a sentence of 27 years to life in prison, which will run concurrently with a previous federal sentence she received last year for drug distribution charges related to the same scheme. Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Kathryn Paek presided over the plea, which also included a charge for drugging a fourth individual who survived the encounter.

As reported by the NY Post, between April 2023 and February 2024, Bundrick reportedly targeted men with the intention of rendering them unconscious. Once the victims were incapacitated, she stole their personal belongings, including their money, phones, watches, sneakers, and clothing. 

The first incident reportedly occurred on April 30, 2023. Bundrick convinced Mario Paullan and a friend to go to an apartment for a transaction involving cash and sex. Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran stated that Bundrick offered the men what she claimed was cocaine.

Even though Paullan mentioned he had never used drugs before, Bundrick reportedly pressured them to continue using the substance. Due to this, Paullan died at the scene, and his friend later woke up in the apartment. When he did, he found his friend’s body and a completely empty room.

The tragedy continued five months later when Bundrick met Miguel Navez. After returning to his apartment, she reportedly administered the fentanyl-laced drugs. Navez was eventually discovered by his brother, and the scene was particularly grim, as his pants were found down around his knees. Many of his personal items had been stolen during the encounter.

The final incident in this series reportedly took place February 25, 2024, when Bundrick killed Abrihan Fernandez inside his upper Manhattan apartment. Investigators relied on surveillance footage that captured Bundrick entering and leaving the building. She was reportedly seen carrying several giant laundry bags filled with stolen sneakers and other property. 

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg commented on the case following the plea. He stated, “The defendant showed a shocking indifference to the lives of her victims and is now facing significant consequences for her conduct.” Bundrick is currently remanded in custody, and her final sentencing will take place soon.
