Yeah. The house was completely remodelled but they left a running freezer in place? The freezer was not running, and offered for collection with ‘contents included’? The story has been embellished. ---

So it seems that Amanda’s biological **mother** was the previous owner who sold the house. Amanda’s stepfather died of Covid in 2021 and then his wife inherited it before selling it. There is no info about a biological father that I could find. ---

That wasn’t in the article you posted. Here is a different article on the story, which contradicts you: To be fair to @Smapti, the first article says this: > Overstreet was the biological daughter of the previous owner of the home, police said, It doesn’t make clear they’re talking about the mother, not the father, but you’re right that the part about his/her location doesn’t seem to be there now. I thought it had said something like that, too, when I read it yesterday, so maybe the story has been edited without comment. ---

Yeah, when I first read the article it didn’t say the stepfather had died of covid and I assumed the biological parent being referred to was the father, because it seems pretty apparent what must have happened - the male parent raped and killed the girl, mutilated the body, dumped it somewhere, put the head and hands in the freezer so the body wouldn’t be identified and possibly also as trophies, claimed the kid had run away or something, and then either forgot or never got around to disposing of the rest of her. If, is as appears likely, the stepdad was the killer, then he’s already gotten what he deserved from the sound of it. The cops are definitely gonna want to talk to the mother and check the cold case files for headless handless bodies found since 2005, I’m sure. ---

You know, it’s possible the freezer was sitting unplugged and unused in a corner of the garage with a bunch of shit piled on top of it. Or in the backyard, for that matter. I know of a couple of folks who have used their old nonworking freezers for storage in their barns or workshops. Whatever, it probably hadn’t been opened for a long time. ---

And my guess would be that the buyer of the house hired one of those services that gets rid of everything in the house, reselling what they can and trashing the rest, just so long as the owner doesn’t have to worry about it. ---

Well, of course. If there is any truth in the article, then it must be something like this. But the article was carefully drafted to give the impression ‘person buys newly remodelled house, walks into utility room, opens freezer to find frozen head. The workers who remodelled the house never noticed!!!1!1omg!’ Not ‘person buys remodelled house with acres of land, finds old freezer in distant abandoned barn, with rotting head.’ Or whatever.
