Head and hands found in CO freezer, identified as missing girl since 2005

The Mesa County Sheriff's Office announced that Amanda Leariel Overstreet was the girl whose head and hands were found in a freezer in January.

Overstreet had not been seen or heard from since April 2005, although the office said it had no record of her being reported missing. According to the Sherrif's office, she was the biological daughter of the home's previous owners.

The body parts were found when the owners of the house, which had recently been sold at the time the body parts were found, attempted to give away the freezer. The sheriff's office noted in a Facebook post that the current owners are “completely independent” of the case.
