RED BLUFF — A man and woman were found dead in a Bend Area home Wednesday afternoon in what law enforcement is investigating as a murder-suicide.

Deputies responded just after 4 p.m. Wednesday to a call from a woman who reported finding her son and his wife deceased in their River Heights Drive home, according to a Tehama County Sheriff’s Department press release issued Thursday morning.

The bodies of Toby Celeste Anderson, 38, and Caleb Anderson, 41, were found in the living room of the residence with obvious fatal gunshot wounds, the release said.

A 9mm semi-automatic hand gun registered to Caleb Anderson was recovered by detectives investigating the scene, the release said. It is believed to be the firearm used in the incident.

The sheriff’s department is investigating the incident as a murder-suicide in which, based on evidence at the scene, Caleb Anderson took his own life after shooting his wife, the release said.

Anyone with information about this case is urged to call the sheriff’s department at (530) 529-7920 or visit the office at 22840 Antelope Blvd. Red Bluff.
