Autopsy underway to identify bodies, cause of death

Before their bodies were found, authorities released a missing flyer that said that Anderson and Kuhbander were traveling in a 2017 Ford Focus with a dark tint, smoke-out tail lights, and a Georgia license plate.

WTOC reported that Anderson and Kuhbander were once romantically involved. On June 22, days before they went missing, there was an incident at an Olive Garden. According to a police report obtained by the outlet, Anderson went into the restaurant and saw Kuhbander on a date.

"Ms. Anderson caused a disturbance with Mr. Kuhbander, and she walked outside and keyed his vehicle," the report said.

The Cocke County Sheriff's Office and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation are leading the probe in this case and are working to determine the circumstances leading to their death. The sheriff's office and the TBI did not identify the firefighters by name.

"Their bodies have been sent for an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death," the agency said in a statement to USA TODAY. "Additional information will be provided once the individuals have been positively identified. At this time, the investigation is ongoing."
