Deborah Haudley, 34
UT, Salt Lake City
June 14, 2010
The body of Deborah was discovered early Tuesday morning, June 14, 2010, in a motel room she had shared with her boyfriend, Oscar Reyes, 34.
Initially, Reyes reported Deborah’s death as an alcohol overdose. Reyes reported to police that he and Deborah had been drinking the night before and he woke up and found her dead.
The Medical Examiner’s Office performed a preliminary autopsy and determined that Deborah had died of head trauma and bleeding in the brain. Police returned to interview Reyes, who then admitted to having a fight with Deborah over a cell phone. He stated that he hit her on the head twice with an open hand and then took a shower before going to sleep.
Others who were staying in a room below reported hearing the couple fighting the night before. They heard yelling and thumping noises coming from their room.
Court documents state that Reyes was charged with third-degree felony homicide by assault and witness tampering, a third-degree felony. On December 2, 2010, Reyes, a Mexican national, was ordered to stand trial for his girlfriend’s murder. Considered a flight risk, Reyes remains in jail on $100,000 bail.
