A social media couple known for documenting their ‘van life’ have been found dead at a Florida campground, as authorities share initial information about what may have occurred.
Anissa Osborne, 56, and her husband Christopher Osborne, 51, were discovered inside their RV at Ocean Pond Campground in Osceola National Forest earlier this month. Both had suffered gunshot wounds.
The couple had been living on-site while working as campground hosts since December 2025, frequently posting upbeat updates about their day-to-day life on Facebook and Instagram.
Police were ultimately called to the campground at the beginning of May to carry out a welfare check. Detectives later said they were looking into the case as a suspected murder-suicide.
According to First Coast News, a fellow campground host raised the alarm after not seeing Anissa for several days. Officers arrived on Sunday, May 3, and found both Anissa and Christopher dead inside the vehicle.
The Baker County Sheriff’s Office told News 4 Jax that detectives from the Sheriff’s Office, FDLE and the Medical Examiner’s Office were involved, adding that “early indications are that this was a murder suicide”.
The Baker County Sheriff’s Office investigation is ongoing.
In the weeks prior to their deaths, the couple continued to share affectionate posts online. Christopher wrote on Facebook: “My wife, my angel. I can’t live without you.”
Anissa had also refreshed her profile photo about three months earlier, posting a smiling picture of the couple holding roses.
After the deaths, Christopher’s aunt told First Coast News the situation ‘it makes no sense’.
“She just told me how wonderful they were doing,” she told the outlet.
Anissa’s cousin also shared memories of the couple, saying: “We were so so thrilled when we first met Chris because he really was a sweet soul. But sometimes sweet souls can have a lot of things that we don’t even know about.
“She would say I love my tiny life, and she appreciated the small things,” her cousin added, while describing Anissa as ‘bubbly and hilarious’.
First Coast News also spoke with another campground host, who said the couple appeared devoted to one another.
“They were just a very beloved couple by their family and really really lovely people. It’s really tragic,” they said.
In the days afterward, flowers were left at the campground by residents, friends and family.
