Couple Dumped Woman Who OD'd In Their Car Near NJ Highway: Cops

Two people have been accused of dumping the body of a woman who overdosed in their car in New Jersey this past week, police said.

Daniel Waterfield, 53, of Lawnside and Amanda Seth, 35, of Camden were charged with disposing the body of Kerri Stetser, 36, of Paulsboro near the side of a highway in Southampton Township, police said.

The body was discovered at 7:40 p.m. on Halloween when a passerby discovered the woman on the berm of Purgatory Road near the intersection of Route 70. When troopers and EMS arrived, they rendered first aid to the victim, but were unable to resuscitate her, police said.

She was later pronounced pronounced at the scene.

Detectives from the Troop "C" Criminal Investigation Office, Crime Scene Investigation Unit, and Homicide South Unit were initially unable to identity the victim because she was not carrying identification. They were subsequently able to use a fingerprint to identify her, police said.

Through various investigative means, State Police detectives were able to identify Waterfield and Seth as suspects. Investigators determined that on October 31, Kerri Stetser overdosed in Waterfield's vehicle, police said.

Waterfield then contacted Seth, who aided in the disposal of the body on the side of the road where she was later discovered, police said.

On Thursday, November 1, detectives located Waterfield and Seth in Camden where they were arrested without incident. Daniel Waterfield and Amanda Seth were charged with desecration of human remains and evidence tampering.

Waterfield was lodged at the Burlington County Jail pending a bail detention hearing and Seth was released pending a court appearance, police said.
