Holton’s home was searched as part of an investigation into Russian immigrants

Law enforcement officers searched a home in Holton on Tuesday as part of their investigation into the 2006 death of a female Russian immigrant in Holton and the 2000 disappearance from Jackson County of another, Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse said.

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, Holton police, the Kansas Highway Patrol and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation conducted a search Tuesday at a home in the 400 block of E. 6th, Morse said.

The search stemmed from an investigation into the disappearance of Yulia Shevtensko Larrison and the 2006 death of Elena Kristova Larrison, also a Russian immigrant, Morse said. Larrison’s death in Holton was reported as an accident.

“At this time no arrests have been made and no further information will be released,” he said.

No information was released about whether the Larrisons were related.

Holton police investigated the cases involved before the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office reopened its investigation into both in 2019, Morse said.

Yulia Larrison has been missing from Jackson County since July 6, 2000, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation website.

She was 27 years old at the time of her disappearance, the newspaper said.

Yulia Larrison was a white woman, 6 feet tall, weighed 145 pounds and had hazel eyes and blonde or strawberry hair, according to the KBI website.
