Body Parts Found in Colorado Freezer Identified as 16-Year-Old Girl, Missing Since 2005
The human remains discovered in a freezer at a recently sold home in Colorado have been identified as those of 16-year-old Amanda Overstreet, who went missing in April 2005. The remains, including a head and hands, were found in January by someone collecting a free appliance from the new owner of the property, according to the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office.
Amanda Overstreet was the biological daughter of the previous owner of the home. There is no record that she was ever reported missing, and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance are still under investigation. The case is currently being treated as a homicide, with ongoing forensic analysis and no cause of death determined yet.
The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed the identification through DNA testing and is working with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation on the case. The new homeowner has no connection to the prior case, and the investigation is ongoing.
