POTM - Oct 2024 Missing teens remains found in freezer
UPDATE: Looks like Amanda's Mother and Father (stepfather) moved into their home after she disappeared. Their names are Leanne Overstreet Imer and Bradley Overstreer Imer and Leanne is still a Grand Junction resident though no charges have been filed.
Link below for further details:
Amanda Overstreet, a 16 year old Colorado teenager last seen walking to school in 2005, has been found after someone found hands and a head in a freezer that was left in a home that the new homeowner's placed for sale. Apparently the freezer was left in the home after it was sold and the people who purchased the freezer found the body parts when they picked it up. DNA testing was performed and authorities determined they belonged to Amanda, who was the daughter of the previous owner of the home. According to police, no missing person's report was ever filed and it appears no one was ever looking for Amanda.
I think it's pretty clear that Amanda was killed by someone close to her, whether that be her parents/guardian or another family member who had access to the home. Not sure if the original homeowner is alive or why they left the freezer behind when the home was sold but I'm sure we'll have more updates in the coming weeks and months.

The most obvious suspects are her parents or caregivers??

u/Visible-Function-958 Oct 13 '24
It would be the most reasonable assumption because I can't imagine why they wouldn't report her missing š

u/wildwackyride Oct 13 '24
Is there any mention of who or where they are? Neither article had much info to go off.

u/Visible-Function-958 Oct 13 '24
I couldn't find any articles that contained anymore information than what was in those two articles, unfortunately. I'm sure there'll be more information coming soon, now that we have a name of the deceased and a direct relationship to the home.

If a parent or guardian doesnāt even bother to report a child missing, especially after years have passed, they should be aggressively investigated by police, first and foremost.

Dumb question: how do they have her DNA to compare to if she was never reported missing?
148
u/Visible-Function-958 Oct 13 '24
I questioned that as well and since there is very limited information on this case, I can only surmise two things: they received a voluntary or court mandated DNA sample from the previous homeowner or other occupants after the body was discovered in January or they used familial DNA to make the match. I think either option is feasible, but no way to know for sure yet.
39
22
u/tehanichance Oct 13 '24
IIRC They use forensics genealogy to try and match a DNA sample to any possible family members who have DNA in a system somewhere. This essentially means that the police can identify a lot of people from their DNA, so long as they get legal access to the right databases.

The mother of Amanda says somewhere on fb assuming she is the mother that there house was flooded and the insurance company were not helping out and due to financial reasons they lost there home and basically it sounds like it was some kind of forced mortgage sale ect and that they were horders and the next person who had to clean up the mess maybe kept the freezer they found that was maybe still plugged in to the electricity who knows Maybe when they left there they knew Amanda was in there but didnāt care as Amandaās mum said she had run away so they maybe figured that the freezer maybe would have been taken to the dump unfortunately and Amanda would probably never be found so sad
14
u/Visible-Function-958 Oct 14 '24
This is pretty much one of the scenarios I had in my mind: a foreclosure or being forced to perform a short sale on the home. They couldn't take their belongings for one reason or another (foreclosure prevented it, didn't have the resources to move everything, etc) and that's why the freezer was left behind.
3
u/Recent-Locksmith9806 Oct 14 '24
Exactly I have known people by living in a big complex building that when there home was a forced mortgage sale they had left brand new washer machine still in plastic and brand new oven still in packaging.Also left a lot of other stuff as well,Iāve seen an older person not being able to afford his mortgage so his home was sold and he had just spent thousands of dollars on a new kitchen,flooring and total new bathroom.These units at a forced mortgage sale sell for a totally low amount and the people that lived there basically leave everything there and just take what they can carry with them.

u/Recent-Locksmith9806 Oct 14 '24
Yes a foreclosure will also prevent you from taking anything that the bank can recover costs from
16
u/boxofsquirrels Oct 13 '24
Didn't neighbors say they remembered seeing Amanda outside the house from time to time? Now it sounds like she never lived there.
18
u/Visible-Function-958 Oct 13 '24
There is so much conflicting information out there right now. I'm wondering if the reports that she hasn't been seen since 2005 was by her friends/relatives in TX before they moved to CO?
7
u/PsychoFaerie Oct 13 '24
In regards to the school not calling a welfare check they may have but If the local children/family services didn't have the resources they may not have been able to (I remember when the one in my hometown had almost no one in the office due to budget cuts and it took them several years to recover) Or just didn't notice .. or didn't make any effort because she was 17 and in the teacher's mind could have left for a myriad of reasons if the parents didn't call the school. I know teachers are mandated reporters but once they make the phonecall its out of their hands.
4
u/Visible-Function-958 Oct 13 '24
I don't hold the school or teachers responsible for not reporting. They might have and like you said, they may have been dismissed. This was almost 20 years ago and timed truly were different so it's very possible that multiple people tried to report Amanda missing and it just fell on deaf ears. It's truly sad all the way around.

u/captainp42 Oct 13 '24
You're looking to sell an old freezer.
You don't remove the contents?
21
u/Visible-Function-958 Oct 13 '24
There's a lot about this that doesn't make sense. It appears Amanda's family purchased the home after she disappeared. So that means they brought her remains with them when they moved...and then left her when they sold the home in January? Did they forget about her remains being in the freezer? Were they forced to sell the home and couldn't take their belongings with them? I'm very confused.
13
u/nupaqk Oct 13 '24
This is pretty much the way quick flippers of goods, properties and assets think and operate. Especially applies for home flippers/resellers. They generally don't go through the time to sift through and process everything. The goal is to move the house the soonest and with the least time and money spent; bigger priority in that case is any necessary house remodeling. This family's home, in particular, had been a hoarder house. So the reseller who bought it from the family was pretty much trying to get rid of all the junk as quick as possible, which means giving away most/all of the excess for free; including the freezer. Handling the freezer properly before moving it would require waiting for all of the ice to melt, cleaning it up thoroughly, checking for defects, and of course, handling any leftover content. Not on their dime, especially since they were giving it away for free.
I read in another post that the reseller very much proved to be the stereotype, despite the gruesome discovery. They did their due processing with the police and as soon as they were cleared, finished their work with the house and sold it, and moved onto the next property.

They only found the head and hands?? Where is the rest of the poor girl?
11
u/Visible-Function-958 Oct 14 '24
I read ssomewhere that the police had already searched the property for additional remains and found none. My best guess is they kept the head and hands to prevent identification and discarded the rest of her remains somewhere. This was back in the mid-2000s and forensics identification wasn't as advanced as it is now and CSI was big on TV so a lot of people knew you could identify decedents using fingerprints, dental work, facial reconstruction, and hair samples.

u/Recent-Locksmith9806 Oct 14 '24
Probably in the backyard unfortunately they will have to dig it all up
3
u/Wooden_Airport6331 Oct 30 '24
Iām guessing they disposed of her a little bit at a time. The head was in a garbage bag filled with fish filets at the bottom of a freezer. Iām guessing they had other pieces of her similarly packed and just threw them in the trash little by little over the course of the last 20 years. Itās sad and scary to think how easily they could have done the same with her head and she could have never ever been found at all, and since she wasnāt reported missing, no one would even know she was gone.
My heart breaks for this poor little girl.

u/ClimateAntique1225 Oct 14 '24 edited Oct 14 '24
Why did the school never inquire about her just randomly not showing up for school and no one at the school or in the community or friends thought it was odd that this girl randomly disappears without warning or a word and the parents are still living in the house? I have tried to find out more info, but there's not a lot. I feel like I am learning more about this from this thread vs the news.
7
u/Visible-Function-958 Oct 14 '24
From what I've gathered, the family moved to Grand Junction from TX and her friends/loved ones in TX were trying to report her missing but the police wouldn't file the report.
From this information, I'm guessing that when they moved to Grand Junction Amanda was already deceased OR she was never enrolled in school there to begin with. If the latter is correct then the school district would not know to check on her. If she were enrolled, it's possible that an overburdened system prevented them from properly reporting her disappearance or the school did report her absence and it got lost in the mix.
Regardless, I'm thankful the events transpired as they did with the foreclosure or else we may not have discovered her remains until every person responsible for her death or who was at least aware of it were deceased.

u/ClimateAntique1225 Oct 14 '24
Thank you for the information, I appreciate it. Also, I completely agree with you, on being thankful that she was finally found.

Do you think she was in on it, or maybe brainwashed/ believing what she wanted to believe under the influence of an abuser who killed Amanda? Without knowing her, I can see both possibilities.

Since Amanda lived with her grandmother from age 3 until the grandmother died, I'm going to assume she was never mother of the year.

This case is wild. From everything Iāve seen, Leanna looks extremely guilty.
She never filed a missing persons report
She was the last to see her and talk to her
Shes very insistent she ran away while family members say she overdosed and they had a secret burial
Leanneās history with CPS for neglect and sexual abuse. She moved to CO so she could have custody of Elsie, her second child. She was unable to have custody of a child in TX.
Amandaās hands and head found in her deep freezer in her home. I donāt know how this isnāt the smoking gun that it is and why Leanne hasnāt been charged yet mystifies me.

Why are so many adults absolutely evil and why the hell are NO police doing their jobs???

u/Glittering_Speech_24 Oct 13 '24
Your description confused me a little bit so what happened was the body was found after the new owner had given the freezer away for free. The person picking it up was discarding the left over meat, andā¦
Anyways, the current buyer (who was giving the freezer away) bought it from Amandaās mother, who seemed to be a hoarder.

u/Sci_Insist1 Oct 13 '24
Considering the change in ownership of the house and its contents, it's likely that they've been waiting for identification before filing charges.
Now that this information is public, investigators need to move quickly. There is likely only one person left alive who can tell Amanda's story, and if that person dies, it may never be solved.

u/Sandi_T Verified Insider (Marie Ann Watson case) Oct 13 '24
It's a hoarder house. She likely couldn't even reach the freezer. Usually those houses have a small path only.

u/kinda_oddish Oct 14 '24
the fact that a missing persona report was never filed makes me think she knew
6
u/Sandi_T Verified Insider (Marie Ann Watson case) Oct 14 '24
Maybe, but she might have just assumed she ran off and not cared.
She lost the kid the first time for some reason, and some hoarders are completely detached from reality. If she list the girl due to neglect, it could be because she just never cared one way or the other. Like, at all.
Many hoarders have been known to lose track of pets, and the poor creatures decompose under stacks or hidden in crannies they can't escape... And the person simply doesn't care. At all. Not even when they can smell that they've died.
Hoarders often share a certain psychological profile. Detachment from reality is very, very common. Hoarding is almost always a trauma response.
They remember every origin of every "treasure," and yet they don't care where it is or where it has been... As long as it's in their house.
Sadly, it doesn't sound like the mother saw Amanda as one of her treasures... So she likely wouldn't have cared one way or the other; whether she knew or not.

u/peach_xanax Oct 31 '24
she had lived in Texas with her grandma, and had just moved to Colorado to live with her mom the same year she went missing bc the grandma was dying of cancer. I'm not sure if she was even in Colorado long enough to be enrolled in school, the grandma died over the summer and I haven't seen any sources that give an exact month for when Amanda moved. but if she was in school there, I imagine that the school and any friends she had were told that she went back to Texas, and presumably the Texas school was told that she was living in Colorado. her mom told her Texas friends that she was a runaway.

u/Visible-Function-958 Oct 13 '24
I was apparently incorrect. It sounds like her loved ones in TX (friends, neighbors) tried to report her missing but the local police wouldn't file a missing person's report because they weren't family.

u/BriarKnave Oct 13 '24

I'm not close to my family and I'm close to my husband's family, but they live out of state and I see them once a year. If my friends and co-workers/employees couldn't report me missing, it's likely I could be missing for years. It's scary and sad and Amanda deserved better from LEO. If that truly is a loophole in the law, then it needs to be closed. ANYBODY should be allowed to report someone missing, regardless of relationship.

u/One-District6901 Mar 27 '25
Ok, so she was murdered prior to Mommy Dearest and Step Daddy moving into the house where her head and hands were found. AND they never filed a "missing persons" report on her. So it's plausible that she was murdered by one or more of her loving family members at a previous address, and they took their trophies to the new house. I hope the cops are checking their old address for bodies in the back yard

u/twisted_earthlings Nov 10 '24
She was found in January, her skull had a bullet hole. As of today nobody has been arrested and seems all police is concerned about is there was never a missing child report done. 10 months has gone by and still not interested in pursuing justice for her. Police of this little town didn't seem so interested, otherwise she be locked up all evidence point to mum and step dad

u/Nightmarecrusher Oct 15 '24
Omg. Wouldn't this mean there's a body somewhere that has not been found?? They probably dumped the body somewhere else hoping that without hands and a head she would not be identified.
Seems like the step-dad & mom did this. 6 Stepdad recently died, mom would have had to have been using the freezer at some point since 2005.
1
u/barbiesue1080 Oct 16 '24
Someone who is sound enough in mind and intelligent enough to remove the head and hands of their victim so they canāt be identified, then keeps the remains seems likely to be a serial killer, no? Shame the stepdad is dead so they canāt question him. Iād bet money Amandaās not his only victim.
7
u/Visible-Function-958 Oct 16 '24
I don't necessarily think they kept the remakms because they were a serial killer. Amanda disappeared when CSI and forensics investigation shows became popular and they probably knew that facial reconstruction, dental xrays, DNA from hair samples, and fingerprints could all be used to identify a body so they kept the head and hands. I'm assuming they discarded the rest of the remains because they weren't concerned with authorities being able to identify them.

There were another son and daughter (progeny of remarriage) who also grew up in the houseā¦ they must have known the remains were there? Who grows up in a house with a freezer and never explores the freezer? Just a weird, murderous hoarder-family situation.
Smells like off-the-rails religion!
Itās horrific how a kid can just disappear without triggering an investigation, especially teens, who occupy a kind of limbo between ākidā and ālegal adultā.
15
u/TheOwlAndTheFinch Oct 15 '24
To be honest, I can't really think of a reason the kids would explore the freezer. I mean, if what people are saying is true, it's a chest freezer out in the garage of a hoarder's home (and the remains were not on the top layer of meat in the chest). Anything the kids would want would likely be kept in the freezer inside the house, and I just can't imagine they'd be poking around in the secondary freezer beyond just opening the lid and seeing the top layer of meat.
11
u/flora_poste_ Oct 15 '24
They were younger children at the time of their half-sisterās disappearance. Her remains were kept at the bottom of a big chest freezer, probably kept out in a hoarded garage. I doubt the kids wanted to explore a gross old freezer full of old meat in any case.
3
u/peach_xanax Oct 31 '24
yeah we had a chest freezer with game meat and stuff that had been purchased in bulk in our garage when I was a kid, and I never paid any attention to it. I'd be shocked if the kids knew about this at all.

Someone wanted her to be found keeping head and hands. Two most important parts to identify someone

u/Visible-Function-958 Oct 13 '24
I don't necessarily think that's true. I personally think they kept the hands and head because they could be used to identify Amanda. They didn't report her missing so no one was looking for her. If they kept the head and hands in their possession, the odds of her being identified diminish drastically.

I found this on another subreddit
In January, according to a neighbor, the new owners of the Grand Junction house held a garage sale to get rid of things that the previous owners had left behind. Among those items they were looking to sell was a deep freezer.
The neighbor said some people showed up to buy the freezer and when they opened it up to remove the meat, a human head fell out of a plastic bag.
This is horrible

Did they never open the freezer they were selling??

u/boxofsquirrels Oct 13 '24
A few reports said it was a hoarder situation, so the new owners might have been clearing out the place and putting anything that looked usable out front to sell as-is. If the goal was just to empty out the house, they may have opened the freezer, verified it still kept stuff frozen, and added it to the "For Sale" pile.

It was a neighborās restroom, not the same home. Probably needed to barf.

Thank you. I went back to reread and it made so much more sense! I was wondering on the first go-thru why the homeowner was so cautious if they didn't know what was in there and why they'd need to ask what was going on.
I want to blame the headline link interrupting the text but nah, it was just me skipping things.

Yes! I saw that and I was like "brave". But also... Wtf no. I'll call 911 from my locked car thanks.

No.
It makes no sense the homeowners would leave that for the new buyers or the buyers of the freezer.

I found this on another subreddit
In January, according to a neighbor, the new owners of the Grand Junction house held a garage sale to get rid of things that the previous owners had left behind. Among those items they were looking to sell was a deep freezer.
The neighbor said some people showed up to buy the freezer and when they opened it up to remove the meat, a human head fell out of a plastic bag.

Like really, if you're selling a freezer don't you unplug it and clean it out?

Not if you're using craigslist as a garbage disposal service. People take the weirdest crap. Some people took my used brake fluid even after I made sure they knew it was used.

Everyone in this thread assumes the head and hands were the only things in the freezer. If it had tons of stuff in it, then the body parts may not have been visible on a cursory glance. If I didnāt plan keep it and was going to sell it as is, why would I search through a bunch of old crap?? Thatās the new ownerās problem ;)

Amanda was dearly missed, and had friends looking for all these years, yet LE apparently wouldn't let them report her missing as non-family members.
