Police, last night, made a positive identification on the body of a woman found in Elk City Lake Monday afternoon.
Angel Love Gilbreath, 27, police say, was the woman who was found by fishermen on the southwest side of the lake Monday just after 4 p.m. She had been in the water for several hours, and her body showed definite indications that she had been the victim of a homicide, according to police.
Police received the tip about the woman's identity Wednesday afternoon, but were waiting to release the information until the OSBI and/or the woman's family could positively identify her.
Gilbreth was from Elk City, detectives said this morning.
That positive identification occurred late Wednesday evening.
No one has been arrested yet, but detectives said this does move the case forward, and they are talking to someone at this time in connection with the woman's death.
