GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO/Gray News) – Authorities in Colorado have identified recently sold remains that were found stored in a freezer nearly 10 months ago.

The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office said the grim discovery was made shortly after a home in Grand Junction had been sold in January.

According to deputies, the remains of a human head and set of hands were found by someone who arrived to claim the freezer, which was being offered for free by the new owner of the recently sold property.

Investigators have confirmed the remains belong to Amanda Leariel Overstreet, a girl who had not been heard from since April 2005.

She was still a child,” Wendy Likes, information and communications manager for the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office, said.

According to the sheriff’s office, Overstreet was the biological daughter of the previous owner of the property where her remains were found.

He also shared that the last time he saw the little girl was when she was on her way to school. »
