Woman, 37, 'murdered her friend by poisoning her with EYE DROPS after stealing $300,000 from her - then tried to make the death look like a suicide'

 A Wisconsin woman has been charged with murdering her friend by poisoning her with eyedrops then trying to make the death look like a suicide. 

Jessy Kurczewski, 37, is accused of murdering her friend - who has not been named - after stealing nearly $300,000 from her in 2018. 

According to charging documents filed on Monday, Kurczewski called the police last year after claiming to have found the victim dead at home. 

She had put painkillers on the woman's chest and told police that she was suicidal. 

When police conducted an autopsy, they found that the victim had a fatal dose of tetrahydrozoline in her system. It is the main ingredient in eye drops. 

Kurczewski tried to convince them that the victim intentionally killed herself by drinking the fluid. 

Toxicology tests showed the victim had a fatal dose of tetrahydrozoline, the main ingredient in eyedrops, in her system

She later admitted that she'd brought her friend six bottles of the eyedrops Visine, but said she didn't think it would kill her because the friend had already been drinking the liquids.  

Police then looked at her bank records and found she'd acquired $290,000. 

That included about $130,204 that was believed to have been 'transferred fraudulently' by check from the victim to Kurczewski, according to the complaint. 

She has now been charged with homicide and two counts of felony theft. 

It's unclear how she intends to plead.
