New York woman arrested after her late son’s toxicology report revealed something unexpected

Rebecca A. Jordan, a Saratoga County, New York, mother, is charged in connection with the death of her 10-year-old son. Investigators say toxicology results confirmed the boy died from a lethal overdose of an over-the-counter allergy medication.

Authorities took Jordan, 43, of Halfmoon, New York, into custody on April 15, 2026, and charged her with second-degree manslaughter, tampering with physical evidence, and endangering the welfare of a child, according to the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office and court records cited by local media. Jordan appeared in Malta Town court for her arraignment.
