The human head and hands discovered in the freezer of a Colorado home in January have been identified as belonging to a 16-year-old girl who had been missing for almost 20 years, according to local authorities. Amanda Overstreet was identified as the victim through DNA testing, according to a Friday news release from the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office. The teenager’s head and hands were found in the freezer of a recently sold home in Grand Junction, Colorado, on January 12.
There is no evidence Overstreet was ever reported missing, and the “circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain under investigation,” the sheriff’s office said. CNN has reached out to the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office for more information about Overstreet’s disappearance. Previously, authorities said they believed the discovery was an “isolated incident” and that there was no continuing threat to the community. The sheriff’s office didn’t disclose whether a cause of death was identified.
