Prosecutors say a Lansing man and woman turned a single winter day into a double homicide, with two men ending up dead in separate spots outside the city last year.
Two Lansing residents, Timothy Ryan Galbraith and Trisha Leslie Bos, were arraigned on Wednesday and Thursday after being charged in the deaths of two men whose bodies were found in different locations outside Lansing in 2025. Investigators say both killings happened on the same day in February 2025 and that detectives later connected the scenes as part of one sprawling case. Galbraith and Bos were ordered held without bond and are due back in 54A District Court next week for a probable cause conference.
Michigan State Police and local detectives say one victim was found in a wooded area and the other in the debris of a burned structure. According to ClickOnDetroit, hunters discovered Brown's body on March 23, 2025, while Pollo's remains were recovered after a Feb. 10, 2025, Windsor Township fire. Autopsies determined both men were homicide victims, officials said.
How investigators say the killings unfolded
Court records and a probable cause affidavit lay out a tight timeline that investigators say starts on Feb. 9, 2025, at two Lansing properties. A witness told detectives that Galbraith shot Brown in the yard of a Francis Avenue home, then later returned with Pollo to a Foster Avenue house where Pollo was killed. The same witness described cleaning up and attempts to hide what had happened, WILX reports.
Investigators say the account is backed up by lab work. Ballistics testing and DNA taken from replaced subflooring are said to have tied both victims to firearms seized during the investigation, according to the affidavit.
Charges, court schedule and legal notes
Prosecutors have stacked up a string of felony counts, including two open murder charges against Galbraith. He is also accused of multiple felony firearm offenses, being a felon in possession of a weapon, and taking part in alleged tampering and a conspiracy involving disinterment or mutilation of a body, according to FOX 47.
Bos faces an open murder charge, a felony firearm count, and related evidence tampering allegations. Authorities say Galbraith is charged as a habitual fourth offender, which could significantly increase any eventual sentence. Both defendants have entered not guilty pleas and are scheduled for a probable cause conference next Friday, followed by a preliminary examination the Friday after.
Families still seeking answers
For the families of both men, the charges arrive after a long and painful wait. Relatives say the past year has been marked by grief and uncertainty. Pollo's family publicly pushed for answers after his remains were found, and Brown's loved ones held a memorial in Lansing last March while they waited for someone to be charged, the Lansing State Journal reported.
The investigation was led by the Michigan State Police Lansing Post, working with the Lansing Police Department and the Eaton County Sheriff's Office, officials said. Prosecutors say the case rests on a mix of witness statements, ballistics testing, and other forensic work. If a judge decides after the preliminary examinations that there is enough evidence to move forward, the case will be sent to Ingham County Circuit Court for arraignment on the indictments.
