The head and hands of a 16-year-old girl who was last seen in 2005 has been discovered in a freezer by someone who was collecting the free appliance by the new owner of a recently sold home, police said.
The incident initially took place nine months ago on Jan. 12 when the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado received a call regarding a “suspicious incident” in the 2900 block of Pinyon Avenue in Grand Junction, approximately 240 miles west of Denver near Colorado’s border with Utah, according to a statement from the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office.

“Through DNA testing, the victim is identified as Amanda Leariel Overstreet,” law enforcement announced. “Amanda is believed to have been approximately 16 years old at the time of her disappearance. Overstreet has not been seen or heard from since April 2005.”
That’s crazy. They killed their 16-year old daughter 19 years ago and kept her head and hands (to prevent ID of the body I presume)?
And then what, forgot? Or was it probate? Just so weird.
Also…
“The house was purchased, fully remodeled, and sold to the current owner."
Someone managed to “fully remodel” a place without checking a freezer that was there? Remodeling might be one thing, but selling the whole place, and no-one checked?
Not that there isn’t a lot of creepiness going on with this in general, but it wouldn’t be crazy to remodel without emptying a freezer. Assuming they weren’t on top of the rest of the food, stuff in the bottom of a freezer can easily be overlooked for years
