“Out-of-town” family members discovered the body in the freezer last month.
A body found in a San Diego freezer last month may have been that of a woman who has been missing or dead for up to nine years, police said Thursday.
“Out-of-town” family members who were visiting a residence called local authorities when they discovered the body in the freezer, police said in December.
The family members are related to someone who currently lives in the home and are not related to the woman found in the freezer, according to police. Police added the freezer was running when the body was found.
The San Diego police homicide unit was called in to investigate because of the unusual location of the body, police said.
I’m guessing somebody else has been living off of her social security checks this whole time and is moving into the “Find out” stage of their life.
Would social security checks continue for a missing person? That seems like the first thing the police would investigate.
Not if they don’t get reported missing. If the victim didn’t have family or friends checking on her I can totally see that scam working for a bit.
Not only that, they frequently continue for a dead person. The SSA doesn’t keep very good tabs.
The article says there never was a missing person’s report filed for her, so maybe she was never “officially” missing
Why do they keep saying “out of town” in quotes. Are they possibly not from out of town?
It’s most likely a direct quote from the police.
And this is why you need to buy lots of bags of frozen peas. Yeah it is odd to open a freezer and find it full of peas but not call the cops odd.
But then you get your hands all cold every night when you open it up and wanna jerk off
Put a lock on it and a flammable sticker from amazon.
I feel like I’d have a lock on my freezer, if that’s where i kept the bodies.
Good job with the deniability there. You have to remember that “if”
So many questions.
“Out-of-town” family members who were visiting a residence
Okay, why were they staying there?
The family members are related to someone who currently lives in the home and are not related to the woman found in the freezer,
So, let’s say you gave a guy name Alan who lives in the home. Alan lived in the home, and invited his family members Brad and Janet to stay. Brad and Janet investigate the freezer, and see a dead body of someone (apparently Mary Margaret Haxby-Jones, 81, a white woman) they have never seen or heard of, then call the police. But Alan does not? I’m trying to think of this setup, and the oddly worded distinctions in this article. I guess we’re all trying to figure out if “Alan” killed poor Mary, then put her in the freezer, but why not say that? And why specify Mary is a white woman?
It’s all weird. And maybe I am projecting, but I am trying to picture myself as Brad and/or Janet. “So, we were snooping in your deep freezer, and, uh… who is that?” Why were they snooping in the deep freezer? Was it a deep freezer or an upright? Was the body intact? Even wrapped? What did “Alan” say? Why did Brad and Janet call the police and not Alan? Why is Alan never mentioned, even anonymously? “The legal counsel for Alan has stated he didn’t know the body was in the freezer, the freezer belonged to his father, now deceased.” Or something?
you’ve never stayed with friends or family out of town? you would ask a murderer about the body you found in their freezer instead of getting out and calling the cops? until the public record is set on whats going on, good journalism keeps the facts relatively open to avoid being incorrect and/or bringing on a lawsuit. the outlet likely doesnt have more information than this that cant be used for identification.
I mean, if I was hiding a body I wouldn’t have people over. I think that’s the thing people are struggling with.
youre probably not the type to keep a body in your garage to begin with in that case.
Yeah, definitely not. Anyway, it seems like the authorities are being deliberately vague and confusing, we’ll get the full story later on, I bet.
I have had family stay over. That’s not the weird part. The weird part is being separated from the homeowner in reporting a dead body in the freezer. This implies family that stayed over, peeked in the freezer, and reported it separately. Some family. It almost suggests that they suspected this beforehand.

Brad and Janet investigate the freezer, and see a dead body of someone
I am glad someone got the joke 💜
Okay, why were they staying there?
Because they’re from out of town. What’s hard to understand about that?
Dammit, Janet.
And why specify Mary is a white woman?
Racism, misandry.
Or it’s just the only identifying information the media had at the time? Not everything is “missing white woman syndrome.” This is the second article I’ve seen recently with one of these comments.
I assumed the owner of the residence left them stay to it’s place while they weren’t t there. Maybe they have multiple residences or whatever and the family members needed a place to stay.
The owner either completely forgot about the body, it has been 9 years and I assume they don’t usually check it, plus maybe it’s not the main residence or they assumed they wouldn’t randomly start opening stuff and check stuff or it was in a place he assumed nobody would go an check.
If I had a freezer with a body in it, at some point over 9 years, I’d put a lock on it. This is just lazy.
Like a lock on a freezer isn’t a giant red flag
An odd occurrence maybe, but I wouldn’t assume grandma has a body in there!
That’s the dream right there. Just chillin’ for nine years…
“And once you have your pieces, you have to do something with them because it’s no good leaving them in the fridge for your mum to find”
What a waste, it’s probably freezer burnt now.
She is believed to have lived at the address on Zion Avenue “at some point prior to the discovery of her body,” police said.
She also lived there for a period after her body was discovered too.
I think we can all agree that Alan almost certainly did it, right? If Mary was renting the place and then “disappeared,” there is no way that Alan never took a peak in that freezer for 9 years.
Thora?
