Woman Found Dead In Newcastle Motel Identified

A 26-year-old woman has been identified as the person found dead inside a Newcastle motel Friday, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation reported.

Kayla Garbelman, of Tuttle, was identified by her fingerprints, OSBI said. She was found dead Friday morning inside a room at the Newcastle Motel, 1221 N. Main Street.

OSBI agents are also searching for two men in connection with Garbelman's death.

The first person of interest is described as a Native American man, about 50 years old with a medium build. He is about 5 feet 11 inches tall with dark hair, medium length and dark eyes, OSBI reported Friday.

The second person of interest was seen with Garbelman when she was checking into the motel Thursday. He is described as middle-aged Hispanic man with short hair and a mustache, OSBI reported.

The state medical examiner is working to determine Garbelman's cause and manner of death.

Anyone with information about either person of interest is asked to call the OSBI tip line at 1 (800) 522-8017.
