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.”

pokes at internet. If my random poking at the internet is right, the mom had her when she was about 20, and later married a new guy who became the stepfather. The new guy was about ten years older than the mom (they were about 36 and 45 when Amanda disappeared). He died of covid in July 2021; I couldn't find anything on whether the mom is still alive today (she was alive in 2021).

The interesting thing to me is Amanda disappeared in 2005, and the house was sold in 2013. I'm not interested enough to pay for the sequence of ownership, but it means that either the parents moved into that house and brought the freezer with them, or that someone bought the house from the parents and didn't touch the freezer for over a decade. Or they opened it, ignored what they found, and kept living there for another decade? This is weird.

Disclaimer: I'm not an murderer of step children, but .... If I were to commit an illegal act and had evidence of it, I wouldn't just leave frozen hands and a head around. It would make the most sense to me that he moved it around with him.
