Mother Sues Dayton Police After Daughter Dies of Overdose

NOWHERE IS SAFE –

Oct. 9, 2024 – Her mother claims police did not properly investigate her daughter’s death.

 But police reports suggest a detective spent months speaking to witnesses and staking out the home where she died to try to find out what happened. Multiple prosecutors refused to file criminal charges based on the evidence that police gathered.

Michelle Sanchez, 38, died on Sept. 17, 2022. According to police records, the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office ruled that her death was accidental and resulted from fentanyl and methamphetamine intoxication.

Charlene Manley, Sanchez’s mother, filed a lawsuit last month in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court that claims that her daughter’s body was left in the bedroom by individuals who caused her death.

The lawsuit says Sanchez died because of drugs that were provided by the people who hid her body.

The suit claims the police investigation into Sanchez’s death was incomplete and negligently handled. The legal complaint alleges police failed to secure the crime scene, did not interview key witnesses, failed to properly collect evidence and did not keep the people at the scene where her body was found.
