In the library!Hmm or maybe it is the homeowner in the freezer?
Sounds like we have a new version of Clue…. My money is on Col Mustard with the candlestick

I think the vast majority of people wouldn't behave in this way. Unless they had been neglecting the person or wanted to keep collecting their benefits, most people's natural reaction would be to call for help. JMO.
The bare bones of this story are so intriguing a dozen or so great books have a starting place.
Let's say it is Grandma in the freezer and she died of natural causes. Now, it is my personal opinion that the funeral industry has price death beyond the reach of many people. Grandma dies. Grandpa checks prices. Not gonna do that. Into the freezer grandma goes. He has no choice but to continue receiving her money. Then Grandpa dies. Funeral held -- but closest relatives unable to attend. Plan to visit area at Christmas to deal with the the property. Oops. Grandma pops up.
Or, Ms Suzy was living alone and some young thugs rob her. She dies of a heart attack. They dither around and stuff her into freezer and wait to be discovered. Aren't. So, do they rob other people living alone, stuffing them into freezers? I did a quick "drive around the Google block" and didn't see neglected yards, so unless they've painted themselves into a permanent job of lawn care, young thugs are not taking out the elderly residents. But change a fact or two and you've got a jim-dandy story.
If a journalist had been "working" this story, these are the type answers we would have by now. Ownership of the property is a matter of public record and available by subscription to all sorts of professions: realtors, appraisers, private eyes, reporters and newspaper employees, etc. Sometimes, just entering the address in Google would have disclosed if it is available for rent. Asking a neighborhood boy will tell you exactly how many people lived there, their ages and anything else you need to know. Kids slide around and know these things. Not all kids will talk to strangers, but others love the attention. The official medical pronouncements will come from official reports by specific people authorized to make those calls. HOWEVER, stories and articles don't just happen - handed as press releases from the great govt on high. You dig in and you talk to people. Who knows where the "leads" may take you.
exactly. new info:The DM says that the deceased person is a relative of the out-of-town family. I haven't read that anywhere else, though.

Mystery as 'out-of-town' family discover woman's body in freezer
An investigation is underway after family members visiting San Diego for the holidays found a relative's badly decomposed body.www.dailymail.co.uk
The house with the unique wall ^^^ is in pics on many news sites, but... It's the blue house next door to the house with the unique wall that has a blur placed on it on google maps. I never saw that, only that house blurs out. Is that common if it's a suspected crime scene? Anybody know? Never saw that before. I can capture all the houses from a certain angle.

Thats a fair pointMaybe because dead bodies don’t naturally end up in home freezers?
That would make senseThe DM says that the deceased person is a relative of the out-of-town family. I haven't read that anywhere else, though.

Not only is blurring something that can be done at the request of LE (and governments, if something sensitive like a military base is visible) but here in the UK you can contact Google and request that your own property be blurred out for privacy reasons. You don't have to be a celebrity, anyone can do it.

Oi…… if the property owner’s name is what I think it is….
Have I ever said how much I hate common last names? Smith… jones… Johnson…. Welp imo it is one of those names
I think it's something slightly different. I mention this only because it's fairly easy to find out who the owners are. And their ages, etc.
Yes, from what I can tell, there is a common name that the owner goes by and a much less common name that is also connected to the owner and two male residents, possibly father and son. The various address search sites I used aren’t always accurate, so grain of salt and all that. But property ownership is usually accurate. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that I suspect that the elderly owner died and was put in the freezer to avoid probate and/or collect Social Security benefits. This is just my thought, not word on the street, as I haven’t contacted my local BIL about this…yet.
Another thought I have is that the messy conditions of the front yard and near the front door are totally out of character for Allied Gardens. The homes in this area were built starting in 1955, and even though they are simple 2-3 bedroom/1-2 bath homes, there is pride of ownership. My BIL bought his 1955 home in 1994 for $165,000 and Zillow says it’s worth over $900,000 now. That’s San Diego for you! So the condition of this house indicates either abandonment or bad renters to me. Or possibly another older relative of the owner being taken advantage of by a younger one in some way. I wonder if the relatives who discovered the body visited because they were suspicious that something untoward was going on.

This is my thought as well."Or possibly another older relative of the owner being taken advantage of by a younger one in some way."
There are fairly strict ordinances about lawn upkeep/weed abatement in fire-prone San Diego County. So if the lawn is in good shape, *someone* has been caring for the house.
Wow, I live just 2 blocks away from where this happened!
From photos I’ve seen there is no “lawn”….just tall weeds (2-3 feet). I’m really surprised this was allowed to get so bad. Did the neighbors report it and were ignored? I would hate to live next door to something like that. It would creep me out.
