Body parts found in a freezer earlier this year after a Colorado home was sold have been identified as those of the 16-year-old daughter of the home’s previous owner, authorities said Friday.
The death of Amanda Leariel Overstreet is being investigated as a homicide and an investigation is ongoing, the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office said.
The grim discovery was made in January, after the home near Grand Junction had been sold to a new owner, and after that owner offered a freezer that had been left behind for free, the sheriff’s office said.
Inside the freezer there was a head and forearms with hands attached. Deputies were called on Jan. 12 after the person who claimed the freezer made the discovery.
The last time Amanda had been seen or heard from was in April 2005, the sheriff’s office said.
