Landlord discovers body parts of 16-year-old girl in freezer
The mystery behind the mutilated body of a 16-year-old girl found in a freezer is about to unravel.
Her body parts were found earlier this year after her father sold his Colorado home to a new owner police authorities said.
The death of Amanda Leariel Overstreet is being investigated as a homicide and an investigation is ongoing, the Mesa County Sheriff’s [police] 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 [police] office said.
“Inside the freezer there was a head and forearms with hands attached,” police staed.
Deputies were called on January 12, 2024 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.
“The circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain under investigation, as well as ongoing forensic testing of evidence,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement about the case.
“There is no record that Amanda Overstreet was ever reported missing.”

The rest of the her body has not been found.
The coroner’s office did not list a cause of death but said that there was an active investigation and no further details would be released.
DNA analysis helped to confirm the identification, the office said.
Amanda lived in the Grand Junction and Harris County, Texas areas, the coroner’s office said.
The sheriff’s office stressed on Friday that the home was under new ownership, and that the current owner of the home was “completely unrelated to the previous case.”
“The house was purchased, fully remodeled, and sold to the current owner,” the sheriff’s office said.
