On the evening of October 26, 2015, Carrie's son, Tosh Ackerman, 29, took a Benadryl and part of a Xanax pill to help him sleep. He never woke up, and his girlfriend found him dead the next day. Tosh died because the Xanax he took was counterfeit. It contained a fatal dose of a powerful synthetic opioid called fentanyl.

Carrie Luther is now an advocate for safe medicines and has since made it her mission to educate people about the dangers of counterfeit medication and to help change laws surrounding cases like these.
