Woman Charged In Connection With Richboro Man's Death

NORTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA —A Holland woman has been charged in connection with the death of a township man in October.

Carrie K. Miller, 41, was charged on Nov. 14 with the criminal use of a communication facility, which is a third-degree felony, and the felony charge of the delivery of a controlled substance.

She was also charged with three misdemeanors for recklessly endangering another person, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Miller was arraigned before District Justice Brian K. Marriott on Nov. 23, with bail set at $75,000 unsecured.

The Northampton Township Police Department responded on Oct. 27 to a Richboro address for the report of an unattended death of a 39-year-old man.

During the investigation, the family notified Northampton Police of the victim’s prior substance abuse history.

Additionally, suspected narcotics and paraphernalia were recovered near the victim. The detective department investigated due to the potential of narcotics being involved.

Detectives were able to view the victim’s phone and found a text conversation that occurred on Oct. 25 between the victim and “Carrie.”

The text conversation appeared to be setting up the purchase of narcotics similar to what was found near the victim at the time of his death.

Subsequent investigation identified “Carrie” as Miller being the other texter whom the victim was arranging the sale of narcotics with.
