”We can’t wait to share the next chapter of our love story surrounded by our friends and family!” Rachel wrote when she announced the wedding.

Friends and relatives described them as inseparable, sharing a love for travel, the outdoors, and quiet evenings with their two dogs, Dash and Cedar.

But now, they’re gone forever.

Hazard lights flashing

Just before midnight on October 6, a officer approached their stopped vehicle in Harvard, Illinois, after noticing hazard lights flashing. A couple was found inside, both deceased. Police initially issued an alert, asking residents to remain sheltered in place due to the heavy police presence. They later confirmed there was no ongoing threat to the community.

The Harvard Police Department later identified the victims as Rachel Noel Dumovich, 29, and Brandon Peter Dumovich, 30, both from Sharon, Wisconsin.
