“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.

    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.

          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.
