The Jefferson County Sheriff issued a press release on November 13 soliciting help from hunters, specifically around STH 106/CTH A, in watching for anything that may lead to a conclusion in a double homicide case involving suspect Kevin P. Anderson. It was stated that the case remains active while Anderson remains at large, and the agency has continued to follow up on leads generated from across the country.
On June 16, 2020 Kevin P. Anderson is alleged to have shot and killed his sister and brother-in-law, Nedra J. and James H. Lemke, at their family farm in rural Jefferson County. Anderson then proceeded to burn the farm house down and shot at a sheriff’s deputy responding to the farm. Anderson is believed to have fled the area as no remains were found in the farm house. Anderson is an avid hunter and camper. He is charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, one count of attempted intentional first-degree homicide, one count of arson, and one count of felon in possession of a firearm.
Anderson is described as a white male in his mid 60’s, 6’0″ tall, weighs about 200 lbs., has blue eyes, and balding brown hair.
Anyone seeing Anderson, who should be considered armed and dangerous, should not approach him but should immediately contact local law enforcement. Anyone who believes they have seen Anderson, have any knowledge of his whereabouts, or information to share pertaining to this case, should contact the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office at 920-674-7310.
