DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa. A 24-year-old Cumberland County woman was convicted Wednesday of third-degree murder in connection to the 2017 overdose death of Zachary Myers at a Swatara Township hotel.
Kara Hartmoyer, of Mechanicsburg, could have saved Myers life with a simple 911 call, prosecutors said during her trial in Dauphin County Court.
Instead, when Myers began showing signs that he was overdosing on the fentanyl he ingested with them, Hartmoyer and her boyfriend wrapped Myers in a blanket, dragged him from the hotel room to his SUV in the parking lot, and placed him inside the vehicle. They then went to get food and drink at a nearby Sheetz before returning to the hotel at about 4 a.m., prosecutors said.
