New homeowners in Colorado bought more than the bargained for after finding a human head and hands inside their freezer while cleaning it out.
On Friday, January 12, 2024, at approximately 2:30 pm, Deputies with the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office were called to a home in the 2900 block of Pinyon Avenue regarding a suspicious incident.
Deputies say the homeowners were cleaning out the recently sold property and discovered possible human remains inside the residence.
A neighbor told KREX that the new homeowners posted on social media inviting people to pick up “free stuff” left in the house. While cleaning out one of those items, a deep freezer in the garage, human remains were discovered in a black bag beneath frozen animal meat.

On Thursday, the Mesa County Coroner’s Office confirmed the human remains found at the address are a human head and human hands.
“At this time, we have no other definitive answers until further testing can be completed,” the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. “These types of tests take a significant amount of time, and again, we ask for patience from the public as this investigation continues.”
“A thorough and detailed investigation is the top priority of the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office,” the sheriff’s office said. “Our hope is to positively identify the victim while remaining respectful of the victim and the victim’s family.”
If you or someone you know have information regarding this case, please get in touch with Mesa County Sheriff’s Office Investigator Kandyce Stuckenschneider at 970-244-3266.
