William Adrian Larsen, 35, and his wife Yesenia were found dead on November 9, 2020, on the shoulder of U.S. Highway 395 near Bridgeport, California. A snowplow driver discovered the bodies, and the Mono County Sheriff’s Office quickly identified the couple and called their deaths a targeted double homicide.
Investigators linked the Larsens to criminal activity, including a large marijuana deal that went bad. William Larsen was connected to the disappearance of 26-year-old Jered Stefansky of Redding, who vanished in June 2020 after a $400,000 marijuana transaction. That tie led authorities to describe the killings as possibly retaliatory, a hit job.
Three former business associates — Bradley Kohorst, Cory Spurlock, and Orit Oged — were arrested in relation to the investigation; officers found multiple firearms, ammunition, and cash during arrests in locations including Phoenix, Arizona, and Missoula, Montana. What remains unclear is who ordered or carried out the attack and the full motive behind the killings.
If anyone knew the Larsens, their associates, or movement in northern California and neighboring states before November 9, 2020, please share information with investigators.
