The Pitt County Sheriff’s Office charged 39-year-old Abbie Gomez with second-degree murder in the December 2021 death of 38-year-old Scott Isley.

Investigators responded to 3450 Frog Level Road where Isley was pronounced dead.

They say the investigation determined he died from multi-drug toxicity and that Gomez was one of the individuals who provided Isley with the illegal drugs.

Gomez is in the Pitt County Detention Center under a $2 million bond.
