very odd case with only a photo of Beverly available here is what i got from Lyons County Nevada online

Beverly Brehm

DATE OF BIRTH:

June 27, 1934

DATE LAST SEEN:

November 12, 2008

DISCOVERED MISSING:

November 14, 2013

MISSING FROM:

Dayton, Nevada

AT TIME OF DISAPPEARANCE

Age: 74

Height: 5' 02"

Weight: 130

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Brown

It was the suicide of her ex-husband, James MacTavish, that led to the discovery of Beverly Brehm's disappearance.

When a next of kin was being sought after MacTavish's death in 2013, investigators learned that his ex-wife, Beverly Brehm, was last known to have remained residing with MacTavish after their divorce. However, no one had seen her since 2008. She simply vanished without a trace. And since Beverly was not close with her own family, no one even knew she was missing for five years.

Since discovering Beverly was missing, detectives have made little headway in finding her. And what makes this case even more confounding, is the discovery that her brother, Gordon Brehm, was also supposed to be living with Beverly and MacTavish and he too was missing.

Gordon Douglas Brehm​

DATE OF BIRTH:

DATE LAST BELIEVED TO BE ALIVE:
November 12, 2008

DISCOVERED MISSING:
November 14, 2013

MISSING FROM:
Dayton, Nevada

AT TIME OF DISAPPEARANCE
Age: 69
Height: 5' 05"
Weight: 150
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown

Info.
It was the suicide of Gordon's ex-brother-in-law, James MacTavish, that led to the discovery of Gordon Brehm's disappearance.



When a next of kin was being sought after MacTavish's death in 2013, investigators learned that MacTavish's ex-wife, Beverly Brehm (Gordon's sister), had been missing for approximately five years. And that her brother, Gordon was also missing.



Gordon and his sister, Beverly Brehm, had been living with MacTavish in a home in Dayton, Nevada after Beverly and MacTavish divorced in 2008. But it wasn't until 2013, following MacTavish's death that it was discovered both Gordon and Beverly hadn't been seen or heard from in years, with a last known confirmation of Beverly still being alive in November of 2008.



Both brother and sister had been missing for upwards of five years before anyone noticed. Unfortunately, this was largely due to Gordon and Beverly not remaining in contact with other family members who would have noticed their disappearance.



Since discovering Gordon (and Beverly) missing in 2013, detectives have made little headway in finding either of them.



Gordon's case is also featured on NamUs.



If you know what happened to Gordon Brehm, or his sister Beverly Brehm, or if you know of their current whereabouts, we urge you to contact the Lyon County Sheriff's Office Detective Division at (775) 577-5206 or the Lyon County Sheriff's Office 24-hour dispatch center at (775) 577-5023.



To provide information anonymously, call Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900.

No photos of Gordon are known to exist but if someone has a ancestory account they maybe able to help me find a photo of Gordon possibly from a school yearbook photo assuming one exist at all.

A photo of Beverly is posted here along with her Charley project profile as well.

There are records of Beverly and James marrying in 2004 and divorcing in 2007. Then, in 2008 they married again on Oct. 17th and were granted a divorce on Nov. 24th of the same year. ETA: I found another marriage certificate issued to them in 2006. o_O

So, of reading correctly, MacTavish was like at least 10 years younger than Beverly? Also she started actaing strangely to her environment, so i could think he was isolating her and the brother, taking advantage of them. Did she receive any payments, did this one go on until his suicide?

From the Find a graveblinked above
Beverly Deane Brehm was reportedly last seen 11/2008. No other known contact has been reported. She was estranged from her offspring for decades. Former co-workers said she was acting unusually reclusive upon and after quitting her job of 8 years. Cohabitating ex-husband committed suicide January 2013."
 
It seems something was keeping Beverly with James. They legally married and divorced more than once, and public records suggest they lived together in at least two separate states (CA and NV) over a period of time. But, I can’t figure out why her brother was living with them or anything regarding James’ suicide.

What could a 62-year-old man have done with the bodies of two other adults? And why? This is a very unusual case.
