Gordon Douglas Brehm was 69 when he disappeared from Dayton, Nevada, in late 2008 or thereabouts. Around 2006 he moved in with his sister Beverly Brehm and Beverly’s ex-husband, James MacTavish; by 2008 both Gordon and Beverly had stopped communicating and were effectively gone from the household. Their absence went unnoticed for years until MacTavish’s suicide in 2013 prompted authorities to identify his next of kin and revealed that Beverly and Gordon had been missing.

The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office opened a formal missing persons investigation on November 14, 2013. Investigators now treat the siblings’ disappearances as presumed homicide, but little progress has been reported in locating either Gordon or Beverly. The long gap between their disappearance and the discovery of their absence has complicated the inquiry.

Anyone with information about Gordon or Beverly Brehm’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office.
