Authorities are investigating a mysterious homicide after a human head and hands were found in a freezer at a recently sold Colorado home.
The discovery was made on Jan. 12 at a residence in Grand Junction, according to the Mesa County Sheriff's Office. Deputies responded to a call for a "suspicious incident" around 2:30 p.m.
People cleaning out the property discovered what they believed to be human remains, the sheriff's office said. They were found in a freezer, a sheriff's office spokesperson said.
An autopsy conducted by the Mesa County Coroner's Office this week confirmed that the remains were a human head and hands, the sheriff's office said Thursday.
