NATIONAL (WDNews) – Two missing firefighters, Chandler Kuhbander, 24, and Raegan Anderson, 25, from Hinesville, Georgia, were found dead in Tennessee on Sunday, June 30.
In addition to the remains, police said Anderson’s vehicle was also found.
Kuhbander and Anderson, former boyfriend and girlfriend, went missing on June 25.
The pair had been together for more than seven years before ending the “toxic” relationship, said Kuhbander’s mother, Jane Kuhbander.
Jane Kuhbander also claims that Anderson did not take the breakup well and threatened to kill herself several times.
On June 23, Kuhbander went on a date with a new woman, and Anderson allegedly found his vehicle and keyed it.
She was arrested for the crime and later bonded out.
The following day, Kuhbander went to work out at a Crunch Fitness center in Savannah, Georgia and planned to later attend a birthday party for his younger sister.
Surveillance cameras show Anderson circling the parking lot outside several times while he was inside, the mother said.
He eventually exited the gym and began heading to his car, the video shows.
However, the mother said she believes he got into her 2017 Ford Focus under “duress” – and was never heard from again.
Days later, they were both found dead.
“Details pertaining to the discovery of their bodies, vehicle and events leading to their deaths are not available at this time,” police said after the bodies were found.
“Liberty County Fire Services is deeply saddened to receive the news regarding Lt. Raegan Anderson and Senior Firefighter Chandler Kuhbander,” Fire Chief Brian Darby said in a statement. “These two extremely dedicated employees put their hearts and souls into protecting and serving the citizens of Liberty County. Our prayers, and those of the department, are with the families during this difficult time.”
Their bodies have been sent for an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death. At this time, the investigation is ongoing.
