Two Georgia firefighters who disappeared shortly after ending a “toxic” relationship, according to family and police, were found dead about 400 miles from their home.
The bodies of high school sweethearts Reagan Anderson and Chandler Kuvander, both 24, were found Sunday in Cocke County, Tennessee, along with Anderson’s black 2017 Ford Focus, police in Hinesville, Georgia, said.
Details about the discoveries, including the cause of death, were not immediately available, authorities said.
Anderson and Kuvander, who worked together for the Liberty County Fire Department, were last seen in Anderson’s vehicle in the parking lot of Crunch Gym in Savannah in the early morning hours of June 24.
“My son came out of the building at 11:40 and looked very comfortable, like he’d just finished a workout.” Kuvander’s mother, Jane, told WJCL:.
“He didn’t seem in a hurry as he walked through the car park and we never saw him again after that,” she said.
The pair dated for several years after meeting in high school but recently split after a “toxic” relationship, his concerned mother says. He spoke to CourtTV last week.
Two days before their disappearance, police responded to a call of a domestic disturbance at an Olive Garden in Pooler, Georgia, WJCL explained.
According to the media, Anderson is believed to have invited Kubander, who was on a date with him, to a restaurant and then damaged his car.
She was charged with second-degree criminal damage to property and disturbance of peace.
Ms Jane claimed that Kuvander had called her mother at about 10am on June 24 and said Anderson was “blowing up” her phone and threatening to kill himself, adding: “It’s not the first time she’s done something like that.”
When police went to Anderson’s home after the couple’s disappearance, they found the door unlocked and a note suggesting Anderson may have been planning to harm herself, WJCL reported.
The Liberty County Fire Department said it was “deeply saddened” by the news.
“These two extremely dedicated employees are committed to protecting and serving the residents of Liberty County,” the statement read.
“Our prayers and those of the police department are with the family during this most difficult time.”
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation told The Post Tuesday that the investigation into Anderson and Kuhbander’s deaths remains ongoing.
