"In the early morning of November 9, 2020, a snowplow driver discovered two bodies on the shoulder of Highway 395, approximately 10 miles north of Bridgeport," the local sheriff department said. "The victims, identified as William and Yesenia Larsen, husband and wife, from Burbank, California, had no known connection to Mono County. Due to the unusual circumstances, the deaths were investigated as a double homicide," the statement continued.
Investigators believe that there was a business connection between the victims and the alleged perpetrators.
Oged, who is in her early thirties, is from the town of Ramot in northern Israel. Ramot officials issued a statement saying that "at this point, these are only allegations, and we are doing what we can to help her."
