On June 16, 2020, 57-year-old Nedra Lemke and her husband James Jim Lemke were found dead in the driveway of her late parents’ home in Sumner, Wisconsin, after they had gone there to mow the lawn and reported suspected break‑in damage. Nedra made a calm 911 call around 5:45 p.m. saying they would wait for law enforcement before entering. A Jefferson County deputy who arrived about 12 minutes later found Nedra’s body and was shot at from the house; the deputy returned fire. Dark smoke and flames were coming from the home during the encounter.

Autopsies determined both Nedra and Jim died of multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators focused on Nedra’s brother, Kevin Anderson, citing a family dispute over inheritance after their father’s death and phone records showing Nedra tried to contact him that day. A truck registered to Anderson’s wife was found at the property and the burned house yielded no human remains. On June 26, 2020, the Jefferson County District Attorney charged Anderson with two counts of first‑degree intentional homicide, attempted homicide for firing at the deputy, arson, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Anderson was not located and remains at large.

Did anyone in the area have recent contact with the family or information about Kevin Anderson’s whereabouts?
