Anissa Osborne, 56, and her husband Christopher Osborne, 51, were found dead inside their RV at the Ocean Pond Campground in Olustee, Florida, on Sunday, May 3, 2025. Authorities believe that the incident was a murder-suicide, with Christopher Osborne fatally shooting his wife before turning the gun on himself.
Discovery of the Bodies
The Baker County Sheriff’s Office responded to a welfare check request after receiving concerns about the couple’s well-being. When deputies arrived at the campground, they discovered both Anissa and Christopher dead from gunshot wounds inside their RV. Authorities have confirmed that they are treating the deaths as a murder-suicide, but the investigation remains ongoing.
Details About the Couple
Anissa and Christopher Osborne had been living and working as hosts at the Ocean Pond Campground, located in the Osceola National Forest. They managed the campground’s operations and assisted visitors. According to reports, Anissa had a blog documenting their RV lifestyle and ran an Instagram account under the name “osborne_rv_life_”, where they shared happy pictures of their life together.
Their social media pages showed a loving couple, often sharing moments of affection, including pictures of Anissa and Christopher hugging, smiling, and celebrating special occasions. One of Anissa’s most recent posts in February 2025 featured her husband holding a bouquet of roses, and in November 2024, Christopher shared a photo of the couple with the caption: “My wife, my angel. I can’t live without you.”
Family Reactions and Shock
Family members have expressed disbelief and anger over the tragic turn of events. Christopher’s aunt, Sharon Alvarez, told First Coast News, “He was always posting things about the love of his life and how much he loved his wife. To know that he [allegedly] killed her … this makes no sense.”
Anissa’s family described her as a vibrant and free-spirited person who was known for her humor and warmth. Laura Lorenzo Curry, Anissa’s cousin, described her as “a really vibrant, bubbly personality, absolutely hilarious,” and mentioned that she had been a nurse before moving with her husband to the campground.
Shock and Anger from Loved Ones
Anissa’s loved ones have been left in shock, with Deborah Helm Sells, another cousin, expressing her anger in a heartfelt Facebook post: “Christopher Osborne I am so angry at you right now, I want to beat you hard with the walking stick you made me!! But I know she would tell me to forgive you.” The family’s grief is compounded by the overwhelming disbelief that someone who appeared so loving on social media could be involved in such a horrific act.
Ongoing Investigation
While authorities believe the deaths were the result of a murder-suicide, they continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. The Baker County Sheriff’s Office has not released further details about the events leading up to the tragic deaths.
This devastating incident has shaken the family, friends, and community who knew Anissa and Christopher Osborne, as they try to make sense of the tragedy and seek justice for the life lost.
