A modern-day Bonnie and Clyde couple died in a police chase after they were unable to stay away from each other – their second pursuit in two days.
Noah Mushero, 39, of Bangor, Maine, and Sheena Soctomah-Rolfe, also 39, of Orono, died on July 22 after engaging in a high-speed chase with Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office, according to Bangor Daily News.
It was the second police chase the pair had gotten caught in within two days and Soctomah-Rolfe had an active warrant out for her for alleged drug trafficking, police said.
Their vehicle crashed after going off the road doing high speeds, according to WABI. The Maine State Police are reconstructing the wreck as there is no dashcam footage of the crash that saw the car wrap around a tree.
Both were pronounced dead at the scene, according to WGME.
The pair were not allowed to see each other as per Mushero’s probation order, his daughter, Ivy Michaud, told Bangor Daily News.

Mushero had been sober for seven months and was currently going through drug court, his sister Marena Snow told the outlet. Despite his addiction problems, he loved his children and Sheena more than anything, his sister said.
‘He just loved Sheena so much,’ she told Bangor Daily News. ‘They were so toxic because one of them always would be using.’
Mushero had two children, Ivy and Jaxon Michaud, and treated Soctomah-Rolfe’s daughter, Kiannah Soctomah, like his own, Snow said.
‘I’m going to miss him more than anything in this world, but I know he is no longer fighting his addiction,’ Snow said.

‘Even if you can’t donate please say a prayer for my family we are very heartbroken during this time, losing a son is the hardest thing a mother could ever deal with.’
