Authorities are investigating a potential homicide after a human head was found in a freezer at a newly sold Colorado home.

Mesa County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a suspicious incident report around 2:30 p.m. last Friday at a property in Grand Junction, just east of the Utah state line.

The homeowners, who had recently bought the house, found a bag with possible human remains in it in a chest freezer. Authorities later confirmed it was a human head.

The new owners were cleaning up around the property and included the freezer in an online “free stuff” listing.
