Two Georgia firefighters who were once high school sweethearts were mysteriously found dead in a car in Tennessee following a week-long search for the pair.
Reagan Anderson and Chandler Kuhbander, both 24, vanished on June 24 from a Crunch gym parking lot, with authorities launching a multi-state search after the pair were believed to have left in Anderson’s car.
On Sunday, their bodies were found over 450 miles away inside the vehicle, however law enforcement has not offered any details over their cause of death or the manner in which they were found.
Kuhbander’s mother said they had dated for seven years in a ‘toxic’ relationship, and claimed that Anderson took their recent breakup badly and threatened to kill herself and was harassing her son.
Kuhbander was last seen leaving a Crunch fitness in Savannah, Georgia, where his mother Jane said he was seen walking ‘out of the building, and he looks very comfortable, like he just had his workout.’
‘He doesn’t look rushed as he walks through the parking lot,’ she told WJCL. ‘After that, we don’t see him again.’
Kuhbander’s mother said she saw surveillance footage showing Anderson circling the gym’s parking lot several times while he was inside.
Security footage showed him head towards his car, however Kuhbander’s mother said she believes he got into her Ford Focus ‘under duress.’ They claimed his car never left the parking garage and his family later went to retrieve it.
It appears the couple began driving together, with Anderson last seen in surveillance footage at a gas station in South Carolina that day, at the same spot where Kuhbander’s phone last pinged off a cell tower.
Officials have not said why the former couple were driving together or what their intended destination was.
