Lawrence County, Missouri — An arrest has been made in connection with the death of a Lawrence County woman.
The Aurora-Marionville Police Department arrested William Standifer, 41, of Marionville, on suspicion of killing Amy Brenner, 50, by giving her meth.
Police say Brenner was discovered in Standifer’s home, suffering from a medical emergency. According to officers, EMS transported Brenner to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead of a drug overdose.
According to AMPD Chief Wes Coatney, rather than seeking help, Standifer fled the home, leaving Brenner near death.
Standifer was arrested and jailed on Thursday (3/20), pending the filing of formal charges, including second-degree murder.
