Mono County Sheriff’s Office
Two men and one woman are in law enforcement custody following an investigation into the November 2020 double homicide near Bridgeport, according to the Mono County Sheriff’s Office.
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 victims, identified as William and Yesenia Larsen, husband and wife, from Burbank, Calif., had no known connection to Mono County. Due to the unusual circumstances, the deaths were investigated as a double homicide.
A thorough investigation ensued, which led our Investigators to the determination that several former business associates of the victims were connected to the deaths. The investigation was presented to the Mono County District Attorney’s Office on March 18, 2021, for consideration of filing charges for the deaths of William and Yesenia Larsen.
The District Attorney’s Office issued arrest warrants for: Bradley Kohorst, age 35; Cory Spurlock, age 33; and Orit Oged, age 32. Kohorst, Spurlock and Oged all reside in Missoula, Montana.
Bradley Kohorst was taken into custody in Phoenix, Arizona, on Monday, March 22, 2021. Cory Spurlock and Orit Oged were arrested in Missoula, Montana, on Thursday, March 25, 2021. All three remain in custody awaiting extradition to Mono County.
Every member of the Mono County Sheriff’s Office played a part in solving this crime. Our Investigators worked tirelessly to find justice for the families of William and Yesenia Larsen.
