In connection to a tragic September 2023 incident that resulted in the death of two children in an Amish buggy near Stewartville, a 37-year-old woman, Samantha Petersen, was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of criminal vehicular homicide and bodily harm under the influence of methamphetamine. Following the crash, Samantha made a false claim about her involvement, but this was revealed through investigations into phone records and testimonies. Additional details emerged from text messages to her HR manager, further implicating her. Petersen's twin sister, Sarah Beth Petersen, was also involved in the cover-up and later pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting, resulting in a 90-day jail term, 120 days of home monitoring, and a four-year probation sentence.
