Police are investigating a possible murder-suicide involving a couple who embraced what they called “RV Life.”
Christopher Osborne, 51, and Anissa Osborne, 56, were found dead inside their RV parked in the Ocean Pond Campground in Olustee, Florida on May 3, according to a press release sent to Oxygen.com from the Baker County Sheriff’s Office.
“The husband shot the wife and then himself,” Undersheriff Randy Crews told Oxygen.com. “There are indications that he had some mental and physical issues that he was struggling with recently.”
Officials said the couple appeared to have died from gunshot wounds, though autopsies are pending as the investigation remains ongoing.
Christopher and Anissa were hosts of the campground, located in the Osceola National Forest, said Crews, helping to maintain the property, which contains a two-mile lake, in exchange for a free extended stay.
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.”
