Lakeside, OR: Lakeside man charged with girlfriend’s murder

LAKESIDE — A Lakeside man is charged with murdering his live-in girlfriend inside the mobile home they shared.

The suspect is identified as Lawrence Ervin Schnagl, 56. Coos County authorities suspect Schnagl killed Brenda Gayle Gammelgaard, 48.

Authorities do not plan to say how Gammelgaard was killed until an autopsy can be conducted.
Police went to the couple’s mobile home on North Eighth Street just after 6 p.m. Sunday, and found Gammelgaard dead there, Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier said in a news release.

Schnagl is being held on a murder charge in the Coos County Jail.

Lakeside is about seven miles south of Winchester Bay.
