NEWCASTLE, Okla. – OSBI has released a sketch of a man considered to be a person of interest after a body was found in a Newcastle Hotel.
OSBI said the manager of the hotel called police shortly before noon Friday after finding a woman “unresponsive” in one of the hotel rooms.
Police arrived, and the scene in the room led them to suspect a murder had taken place.
Agents with OSBI are currently trying to identify the woman and are scouring the scene for evidence.
They know who checked in but, according to OSBI, they must first identify the woman to see if the names match.
Forensic Artist Harvey Pratt has sketched the likeness of a person of interest from witness accounts.
The man is described to be Native American and approximately 50 years in age.
He has a medium build and is 5’11” tall. He has dark medium length hair and dark eyes.
Witnesses say he weighed about 185 lbs.
If anyone believes they know a person who looks similar to the sketch, they’re urged to call OSBI at 1-800-522-8017.
