Woman linked to death wanted on escape charge

BOULDER» A woman connected to a 2016 fatal shooting at a mobile home park in north Boulder and later sentenced to work release at the Boulder County Jail is wanted on an escape charge.

Online court records show Miriam L. Nayeh, 34, is wanted on one count of class 3 felony escape. The charge carries no bond.

Nayeh was sentenced last month to two years’ probation and a year of work release, where inmates are allowed out in the community during the day and spend the night at the county jail.

Cmdr. Mike Wagner of the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office said Nayeh is wanted for failure to comply with the terms and conditions of her work release sentence that was handed down on Jan. 18.

Wagner said Nayeh was released from the Boulder County Jail on Tuesday and ordered to report to the Longmont Community Treatment Center. He said a judge ordered Nayeh to remain in custody until a work release spot became available, but she never showed up at LCTC, which is a privately-owned halfway house.

Nayeh was originally charged with being an accessory to murder in the February 2016 fatal shooting of Andrew Duncan at the Ponderosa Mobile Home Park. Nayeh pleaded guilty in November to one count of attempting to influence a public servant. Prosecutors dropped the accessory to murder charge.
