HYDE COUNTY — An Engelhard woman has been charged in connection with the deaths of two people. The State Bureau of Investigation arrested Tiffaney Webber, 25, of Fairfield, charging her with two counts of murder.

According to a press release from the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation , on June 1, the Hyde County Sheriff’s Office responded to a possible drug overdose at a Fairfield home and found the bodies of Ryan Edward Gibbs, 23, and Sarah David Reams, 16, both of Fairfield. The sheriff’s deputies found evidence of drug use and requested the SBI’s assistance.

The release stated that investigators learned that the victims had requested, obtained and used a drug they thought was cocaine. Preliminary results indicate Fentanyl was contained in the drugs that Tiffaney Webber had provided to Gibbs and Reams, it said.

Webber is being held without bond at Pamlico Correctional Institution in Bayboro, according to reports.

Hyde County Sheriff Guire Cahoon did not respond to multiple requests for comment on Monday.
