Authorities are delving into a potential murder-suicide case involving a couple who had adopted the “RV Life” lifestyle.
On May 3, Christopher Osborne, 51, and Anissa Osborne, 56, were discovered deceased in their recreational vehicle at the Ocean Pond Campground in Olustee, Florida. This information comes from a press release provided to Oxygen by the Baker County Sheriff’s Office.
Undersheriff Randy Crews informed Oxygen that “the husband shot the wife and then himself,” adding that there were indications Christopher had recently been dealing with mental and physical issues.
Authorities indicated that the couple appeared to have succumbed to gunshot injuries, though autopsies are yet to be completed as the investigation is still active.
Christopher and Anissa served as hosts at the campground situated within the Osceola National Forest, Crews explained. In return for their work maintaining the site, which features a two-mile lake, the couple enjoyed an extended stay without charge.
The couple often documented their outdoor adventures on Facebook, posting scenic views, selfies and romantic musings. “My wife, my angel,” Christopher captioned a November selfie. “I can’t live without you.” To which Anissa replied with a string of kissing emojis.
Anissa recently celebrated the addition of custom artwork to their RV and continued to embrace the beauty of nature.
Over video of falling snow, she wrote, “The view out of our camper/home today. God reminds us sometimes to slow down, take a pause, and re-set.”
Their friends and family noticed their love for each other and for life, too.
“She would say, ‘I love my tiny life,’” Anissa’s cousin, Laura Lorenzo Curry, told First Coast News. “She appreciated the small things.”
“She was very, very happy, just a very kind of free spirit,” she continued. “She was a really vibrant, bubbly personality, absolutely hilarious.
As for Christopher, she said, “he really was a sweet soul. But sometimes sweet souls can have a lot of things that we don’t even know about.”
Now, they are in shock.
“He was always posting things about the love of his life and how much he loved his wife,” Christopher’s aunt, Sharon Alvarez, told First Coast News. “She just told me how wonderful they were doing. This just makes no sense.”
