Re: Press Release – Arrests Made in Bridgeport Double Homicide
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, California, 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.
This investigation proved to be complex and required the assistance of local, state and federal
partners. We especially recognize the California Department of Justice – Special Operations
Unit, whose guidance and direct support was invaluable. Many thanks to the following
