According to the interview at the link, he said he sold it about 10 yrs. ago to the current owner. He said it always had a reputation as being haunted and that he even heard voices when he lived there.
The current owner says he didn't notice the deep freezer until about 5 years ago. If so, someone dropped the freezer there, possibly with the body inside. If no one was living there and the freezer wasn't there 10 yrs ago when the current owner bought it, who put it there?
I'm guessing someone was living there or using the home it during the last several years. If the owner didn't live nearby or check on the property, he may not have noticed.
If you look on the Bing map street view, you can see a bunch of white bags filled with something, stacked against the barn. Not sure how to read notations on Bing maps, but the street view image has a date of 3/25/2015. If that's the date of the photo, someone was living there or using the place for some purpose. There don't seem to be any signs of farming or gardening around the place, nor any signs of landscaping or construction.
There are signs of tire tracks in the dirt driveway and on the road, so it looks like someone was visiting there.
JMO, I'll make a leap and say the house was being used for some kind of drug activity by someone who lived close enough to burn it down as soon as news broke about a body being found there.
The people who found the body may have also seen some other evidence on the property. LE may have asked them not to discuss it in the news media.
