A hooker from hell killed three Johns when she fed them fentanyl to knock them out and rob them – leaving one victim dead with his pants at his knees, Manhattan prosecutors charged Wednesday.
Prostitute Tabitha Bundrick, 38, is accused of carrying out the “calculated” and “callous” scheme that targeted at least four victims across upper Manhattan, running off with their phones, sneakers, clothes and cash, according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
Bundrick was in custody at the time of the new charges and is already facing a federal prison sentence after pleading guilty in August to drug distribution charges tied to the same crime spree. She is now facing three state murder counts and related charges.
“I want to be very clear to those who think they can get away with drugging and robbing unsuspecting victims: working with our law enforcement partners, we will uncover and prosecute this conduct,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement.
The escort’s deadly reign began on April 30, 2023 when she convinced Mario Paullan, 42, and his pal to come back to an apartment where they’d trade cash for sex, Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran said during her arraignment.
She offered each victim what she claimed was cocaine, Yoran said.
“She was encouraging them, pushing them to take these drugs even though the deceased victim says he’s never done these drugs before,” Yoran said. “And then she encourages him to do it, to do it again and do it again a third time.”
Paullan died at the scene, and the pal woke up in an empty apartment next to his friend’s body, she said.
“That is all the surviving victim remembers — snorting one time,” the prosecutor said. “The next thing he remembers is he wakes alone in the apartment, but for his friend who is laying there motionless. He can’t wake him up.”
Five months later, Bundrick met up with Miguel Navez, 39, and the pair went back to his Washington Heights apartment, where she fed him fentanyl-laced drugs, according to the district attorney’s office.
Days after that encounter, Navez’s brother found him dead with his pants around his knees, and many of his personal belongings cleaned out, Yoran said.
The prostitute allegedly followed the same scheme on Feb, 25, 2024, killing Abrihan Fernandez inside his upper Manhattan apartment.
She was caught on surveillance camera going in and out of the building, hauling away several “giant laundry bags,” including four pairs of sneakers, prosecutors alleged.
She was arrested on March 5 on initially only robbery charges.
Bundrick’s lawyer, public defender Eric Burse, claimed his client is “not the cold-hearted individual or calculated killer that the [prosecutors] believe her to be.”
“Instead, she’s someone who’s overcome a lot of brokenness, adversity in her life,” said Burse, who said Bundrick is mentally ill and is a child sexual abuse victim.
Bundrick, dressed in a tan prison suit, was remanded to Rikers Island. She’s was hit with a 13-year sentence for the federal drug charges.
Bragg called the defendant’s alleged actions “extremely calculated” and urged other possible surviving victims to come forward.
“This callous behavior allegedly led to the deaths of three people,” he said.
She faces 25 years to life if convicted on the new indictment.
