Authorities Searching for Suspect in Fatal Auburn Stabbing
Auburn police are searching for a man wanted in the death of a woman who was found stabbed to death.
Authorities say both local police and federal marshals are looking for 48-year-old Christopher Bernard Lyles.
A police statement says Lyles is wanted on a warrant charging him with murder in the death of 59-year-old Phyllis Gulatte of Auburn. She was found dead in an apartment early Sunday.
Auburn police say the two got involved in a dispute that ended with the woman being stabbed to death.
The statement says Lyles is out on parole for a 2008 assault conviction after being convicted of hitting someone in the head with a gun. Before that he was paroled after being convicted of charges including robbery.
