Three people are in jail and charged with reckless homicide after police say they left a woman to die after she overdosed on an unknown substance.
Police say that Amy Cain, Harvey Cain and Jason Reiter were burglarizing an abandoned house for copper. Deputies were dispatched to the house for a burglary in process where Amy and Harvey Cain and Reiter were caught.
That’s when the suspects told police that someone in a mobile home next to the abandoned house needed medical attention.

The deputy then found a female victim who had overdosed barely clinging to life. Officials tell LEX 18 that the victim was Reiter’s girlfriend and neither he nor Cain had called 911 to report the medical emergency.
The victim passed away at the hospital hours later.
The deputy says the suspects knew that the victim needed help at 10 am, 5 hours before they allegedly robbed the abandoned house around 3 p.m.
Police say that they didn’t call 911 because one of the suspects had outstanding warrants.
All three suspects have been lodged in the Knox County Detention Center and have been charged with reckless homicide.
