FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ) – Two suspects are being sought by Fond du Lac authorities in relation to the heroin overdose death of a man earlier this year.
38-year-old Cara Zech and 46-year-old Julie Harr are both being charged with first-degree reckless homicide following the July 28 overdose death of 23-year-old Steven Compton.
40-year-old Anthony Buechel also faces first-degree reckless homicide charges in relation to the death, but he’s already in custody.
Police were called to 532 8th street on July 28 for an overdose, according to court documents.
Medical examiners determined that Compton died of “acute mixed drug (heroin, fentanyl) intoxication” and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Harr connected Compton with Buechel to buy heroin, according to investigators, and Harr and Buechel allegedly took Compton’s money to get heroin from Zech.
Authorities ask anyone with information about Zech or Harr’s whereabouts to contact them.
