Shocking twist for new grand junction homeowners: discovered severed human head while cleaning their property

A shocking twist unfolded for new homeowners in Grand Junction, Colorado, as they stumbled upon a severed human head while cleaning out their recently purchased property. According to reports, the homeowners were sifting through leftover items when they made the grisly discovery inside a deep freezer.

The bag containing possible human remains prompted the homeowners to contact the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies swiftly responded to the residence on Pinyon Avenue, confirming that the disturbing find in the front yard was indeed a human head. Authorities are now treating the case as a potential homicide, and the identity of the remains remains unknown.

Officials assure the community that this appears to be an isolated incident, emphasising that there is no immediate threat to the neighbourhood. Sheriff’s office spokeswoman Wendy Likes commented on the ongoing investigation, stating, “This is still an active and ongoing investigation, so there are no other details that can be released… but as soon as we have information, we will put it out there.”

The eerie discovery came to light as the new homeowners were cleaning out their residence and offering leftover items online for free. A neighbour revealed that the deep freezer containing the horrifying find had been among the items left by the garage.

Describing the unsettling moment, the neighbour recounted, “As they were cleaning it out to pack it up, there was a black bag. They opened the bag, and a human head fell out.” The previous tenants, a mother and her son, had reportedly left the property on the same day it was sold. The neighbour mentioned that the son seemed to be taking care of his mother, and they rarely had visitors.

Neither the new nor the old homeowners have been identified, and authorities are diligently working on the investigation. The incident echoes a similar chilling discovery in San Diego, California, where family members found a body in a freezer while visiting their relative just before Christmas. The body was identified as an 81-year-old woman believed to have been missing or dead for up to nine years.
