Klamath County, Oregon – Following the tragic and concerning event in Klamath County, a joint investigation has been launched by the Oregon State Police (OSP) and the Klamath County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) regarding the discovery of three bodies on the afternoon of December 20th. The incident, marked by perplexing circumstances, began with a welfare check that turned into a tragic discovery.
The sequence of events unfolded when family members raised alarms about 24-year-old Bradley Anderson, who had been behaving erratically. Responding to the concerns, deputies traced a vehicle associated with Bradley and his brother, 21-year-old Joseph Anderson, to Keno Springs Road. As law enforcement approached the scene, a single gunshot was heard. Inside the vehicle, Bradley was found dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His brother, Joseph, was also found deceased in the vehicle under similarly tragic circumstances.
In a related development, the investigation extended to the residence of 74-year-old Robert Russell Langley, the registered owner of the vehicle where the Anderson brothers were found. Langley was discovered deceased at his home near the Klamath County’s small community of Beatty. His death is currently being investigated as a homicide, adding a layer of complexity and gravity to the case.
Authorities are actively piecing together the events leading up to the deaths. At this stage, they are working through the details and evidence to understand the dynamics of this tragic incident. Authorities urge the public to come forward with any information that could help them solve these connected cases.
The OSP and KCSO have not released further details about the relationship between Langley and the Anderson brothers, or the motive behind the incidents. The community has been left shaken by the events, and local officials are calling for calm and cooperation.
