New Charges Against Walter White in Death of Samantha Mikesell
Its been two months since the body of Samantha Mikesell was found as she 
died of an overdose from drugs given to her by previously convicted sex offender Walter A. White.
Walter A. White, 39, was charged in 2nd District Court with child-abuse homicide, a second-degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
Prosecutors have now amended the charges against White as follows:
In the amended charges filed Wednesday, there is an implication Mikesell tried to commit suicide, too. In a probable cause statement, prosecutors say White attempted suicide and gave Mikesell medication “to effect her death. The defendant provided planning, instruction, transportation and the location to facilitate the victim’s death.”
Police have said White ingested the booze and pills, passed out and regained consciousness. Mikesell died. Her body was recovered from Mueller Canyon the next day.
White had already faced six felonies related to his alleged sexual relationship with Mikesell and for allegedly moving her body and evidence on the night she died.
