LANSING, Mich. — Authorities have charged two Lansing residents with murder and related offenses following the discovery of two bodies in Mid-Michigan earlier this year. The victims, identified as Raequan Brown, 29, and Lance Pollo, 39, were found under different circumstances but are believed to be connected through a series of violent events that have shocked the local community.
Michigan State Police confirmed both deaths were ruled homicides after forensic investigations and witness testimony pointed to foul play. Brown’s remains were located by hunters in a wooded area on March 25, while Pollo’s body was found soon after in the vicinity of an abandoned and burned house. The circumstances surrounding both deaths have raised concerns about possible attempts to conceal evidence.
The investigation, which began on February 10, 2025, when Pollo’s body was discovered, involved multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Eaton County Sheriff’s Office and the Lansing Police Department. Specialized teams from Michigan State Police, including K-9 and aviation units, were called in as the investigation unfolded.
Initially, authorities were unaware that the two cases might be connected, as Brown was reported missing around the same period. However, evidence later revealed a grim timeline: Brown was allegedly shot and killed first. His body was then hidden in an effort to cover up the crime. Shortly after, Pollo was also fatally shot, his body discarded near a desolate home that was subsequently set ablaze.
In the weeks that followed, investigators worked diligently to piece together the details of the incidents. They ultimately identified two suspects: 43-year-old Timothy Ryan Galbraith and 48-year-old Trisha Leslie Bos. Each faces multiple serious charges, including two counts of open murder, felony firearm offenses, and conspiracy to tamper with evidence. Additionally, they are charged with disturbing and mutilating human remains.
Both suspects had their bond denied during arraignment proceedings, and court dates are set for February 20 for further hearings on the evidence presented against them. The cases have generated significant concern within the Lansing community, prompting discussions about safety and violence.
The ongoing investigation highlights the complexities law enforcement faces in solving homicide cases, especially when evidence is deliberately destroyed. As more details emerge, community members await justice for the victims and hope for a path toward healing in the aftermath of these tragic events.
