PIPESTONE — A Saint Paul woman is charged with third-degree murder in Pipestone County. 26-year-old Miranda Michelle Sanow of St. Paul, previously convicted of drug sales in Lyon County, now faces third-degree murder charges in Pipestone County for allegedly selling fentanyl to a man found dead in 2022. The victim was discovered unresponsive in a Pipestone residence on Nov. 17, 2022, and autopsy results indicated fentanyl toxicity. Evidence from CashApp transactions and cell phone data implicates Sanow, who admitted to selling the fatal dose. A hearing is scheduled for April 16th. Sanow was also charged with third-degree controlled substance crime this week. Sanow previously pleaded guilty to third-degree narcotics sale in Lyon County. In February 2023, a search in Balaton, where Sanow lived, uncovered packaged fentanyl, methamphetamine, and marijuana.
