State Police: Woman Killed Her Sister, Made it Look Like Overdose
A Millville woman has been arrested for the murder of her sister two years ago.
State Police say Sarah Errickson conspired to make the death look like a suicide by overdose, injecting her sister with a mix of heroin and fentanyl.
Police arrested Errickson, 36 last week in connection with the death of her Sister, Emily Cruddas.
Errrickson's alleged co-conspirator, Joseph Ragan,22, of Philadelphia is still on the loose.
Errickson and Ragan are both facing murder charges.
The Murder Happened in Upper Township
NJ State Police were called to a home on East Sunrise Road in Upper Township on Feb. 17, 2023 for a reported overdose.
When they arrived, police found the body of Emily Cruddas, 21, of Upper Township. She was pronounced dead at the scene of an apparent overdose.
6ABC reports that the criminal complaint alleges Errickson and Ragan came up with the scheme to kill Cruddas when she had stayed at a hospital for several days after to a suicide attempt.
Murder Suspect Gave Police Details of the Crime
A month after Cruddas' death, Joseph Ragan told police has wanted to make a statement about the death without an attorney present.
He allegedly told police that he watched as Errickson injected 10 to 15 bags of fentanyl and heroin into her sister's hand, telling her to "take your medicine."
Ragan reportedly told the troopers that he put his hand over Cruddas' mouth while Errickson made the injections.
The criminal complaint says Ragan stayed with Cruddas for several hours until she stopped breathing.
For reasons that aren't clear at this point, State Police did not charge Ragan following his statement.
Sarah Errickson Talked About the Killing
The Press of Atlantic City reports that last April, an unidentified man turned over a backpack containing 15 wax folds of heroin stamped "White House", multiple cellphones and written details for plans too kill Emily Cruddas.
In an interview with police on January 23 of this year, the affidavit says this man claimed that Errickson had told him that her sister was trying to take the house the two shared.
"Sarah mentioned multiple times about killing her sister as well as other people be injecting them with a lethal dose..."
