A North Carolina woman has been charged with murder for allegedly poisoning her daughter last year and is now also connected to a cold case from 2007.
Gudrun Casper-Leinenkugel, 52, of Hendersonville, faces two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted murder, and three counts related to distributing prohibited food or beverage, according to an arrest warrant. Authorities said she is linked to the 2025 death of her daughter, Leela Livis, and the attempted murders of Richard Pegg and Mia Lacey.
Investigators said the poisoning occurred in November 2025, shortly before her daughter’s death. Hendersonville, a town of just under 16,000 residents in western North Carolina, is south of Asheville. Officials have not disclosed how Casper-Leinenkugel is connected to the 2007 death of Michael Schmidt, who died in a fire in the same town.
Casper-Leinenkugel was being held at Henderson County Jail on Wednesday, and it was unclear if she had legal representation.
