Introduction

This report is about the deaths of Ira Briscoe, Limon Little, and the Kohrs couple in Missouri.

Main Body

Ira Briscoe and Limon Little disappeared in 2020. Police found their bodies in August 2024. A lab confirmed the bodies were theirs in March 2025. Police talked to many people, but they did not find a killer. The family thinks a group of four people killed Ira and Limon. They say these people broke Ira's car and stole his videos. The police are still looking for the truth. In May 2026, police went to a house in Albany. They found Perry Kohrs and Paula Kohrs. Both people were dead. Perry Kohrs shot himself. The police say the public is safe.

Conclusion

Police know who the dead people are, but they do not know who killed Briscoe and Little. The Kohrs case is a family tragedy.
