NORFOLK (WTKR) – Twenty-year-old Jessica Carpenter and 27-year-old Rachael Lowe are charged with felony producing an abortion or miscarriage in Norfolk. Court records say their friends told police the women searched for “ingestible items that would cause [Carpenter’s] pregnancy to terminate.”
The search warrant affidavit for Carpenter’s medical records says she went into labor at six months pregnant and delivered a baby boy at DePaul Hospital in Norfolk, but he died 20 minutes later at the hospital.
