Judy Church, of Salisbury, fatally poisoned her boyfriend, Leroy Fowler, 46, with ethylene glycol, a substance commonly found in antifreeze, on Nov. 11, the Essex District Attorney alleged.
Church was arrested in the afternoon of Thursday, Dec. 22 by the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section after an investigation determining Fowler's cause of death was murder.
"I can't wait to see her face tomorrow when she can't walk out," a comment on her Facebook profile picture said. "To think she thought she could get away with it."
After allegedly poisoning Fowler, Church called police around 8:00 p.m. on Nov. 11, requesting an ambulance for her boyfriend who was in medical distress. He was transferred to three different hospitals before ultimately dying on Nov. 13 at Beth Israel Hospital.
Church is being held without bail and her arraignment is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 23 at Newburyport District Court. A probable cause hearing is scheduled for January 23, 2023.
