Details have begun to emerge about the parents of Amanda Overstreet, the murdered Colorado teen whose severed head and hands were found in a freezer in January — more than 15 years after she was last seen alive.

Family of girl whose body was found in freezer was told she 'ran away'

A DailyMail.com investigation reveals claims by family members and childhood friends, who say Leanne Imer told them different stories about what happened to daughter Amanda Overstreet.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Friends and family were told conflicting stories about Amanda’s mysterious disappearance, a DailyMail.com investigation has revealed.

Several Overstreet family members in Texas, where Amanda grew up, claimed that the daughter ran away from an Amarillo gas station when Leanne took her on a road trip.
In another version of the tale, it was Leanne's late husband Bradley Imer, Leanne's stepfather, who took her on the road trip.
Leanne's aunt claimed the mother admitted covering up a fatal drug overdose by Amanda, for fear that her other daughter would be taken away by Child Protective Services.

Much more in the article…

If they were covering up an OD, where the hell is the rest of her? She should know, right?
New info:
The person who claimed the freezer found a human head and forearms with hands attached, said the Mesa county sheriff’s office.

Yea. I saw that. I’m sure her husband did it. I’m sure she knew.

Never reported missing, and HER MOTHER says "Oh, I thought she ran away to live a better life!" Sounds like horse to me.

It's hard to believe LI didn't know since Amanda was in the freezer, but it's not impossible either. This case reminds me of the Aundria Bowman case in which the adoptive father killed his adopted daughter. The clueless adoptive mother believed his "she ran away" story.

Pulled this quote from the article in post #163.

"The sheriff's office described the bag she was in, and I'm like, 'I've seen that bag.' It would be our cruiser," Leanne Imer told Newsweek, saying she cooperated with the Mesa County Sheriff's Office.

"We ate meat out of that freezer," she said while sobbing over where Overstreet was found. "There was chicken, pork and other meats that were in the freezer, and we ate that."

I've seen that bag. It would be our cruiser.

?????

Is there any meaning to that that I'm unaware of? Sounds to me as if "cruiser" was a deceased pet that LI had been told was in that particular bag in the freezer... Is that how y'all read that too?

Could she have said "It would be in our cruiser?" A cruiser could be either a brand of RV or a type of motorboat. I'm thinking of some kind of insulated bag that you would use to keep food and drink cold.

Not that I believe her anyways. Based on what we know of their relationship, her self-serving statements in the article just ring totally false. Like this one after she failed to hear from Amanda. "So I said, OK, if that's what I have to live with so that she can have a good life, I'll just suffer in silence."

At best, she just didn't give a damn that her daughter went missing. But in all probability I think she knew. It'll be very tough to prove though.

Even if she didn't know (doubtful), why didn't she report her missing!

 

[lightofmine99]

Now I have never met this woman, and I don’t intend on being mean, but if she truly "didn’t know" and just accepted whatever her husband (or whoever) told her, she must have achieved a level of cluelessness and/or gullibility that humans have not yet reached. But I suppose she wouldn’t be the first person to blindly accept whatever the killer(s) told them and then never try to follow up with their relative years later. She wouldn't be the first to use mental gymnastics to bury and ignore any suspicions she had or signs she saw. MOO.

bs.
no way.
she was pretty evil at heart, she would def know....

I would think that clever and lengthy interrogation by LE would bring out that foggy memory, but they are probably not going to bother, because the actual deed was most probably done by one deceased partner.

Moo...what about failure to report a missing child.?

She's either a coward, mind-numbingly stupid, pitifully naive, or some combination of the aforementioned in that case. All evidence points to her being a loathsome person at the bare minimum.

If that really happened, how did she end up in the freezer in CO?

 

[nhmemorymaker]

Moo...what about failure to report a missing child.?

yeah... but why would she. She and her hubby "had it made" in this situation. Rather disgusting. But good for them.
I do wonder if the other daughter will ever decide to scream out some horrible things about mom.

hope so.

Exactly!

 

[lightofmine99]

Have there really been no more updates? It's April 2025.

 

[sunshineray]

It's probably a case of they, both of them, wanting her gone. I don't believe BI's TX drop-off story one bit, nor that LI didn't know that anyone can report someone missing, especially a child. BI dies of covid in 2021 and LI is acting like a simple-minded dupe in the whole thing...I know nothing, OMG we were eating out of that freezer for years!! I'm not buying it and am pretty sure LE isn't either. What can LE do at this point? Why no charges? I wonder if LI ever took a polygraph? AJMO

Poor Amanda

JMO. Mother knew perfectly well, and it was money-motivated. Probably some issues with things that require constant influx of money, and her mother died. I believe that later Amanda's grandfather ended up homeless, am I right? So Leanne is avaricious. Leanne's mother had two heirs, Leanne and Amanda. I think that it was the motive, sadly. For Leanne, one was extra.

Both Imers were probably in the crime, but Leanne was the driving force. Mr. Imer was not anyone's heir.

Just my two cents.

 

[lightofmine99]

I wonder if this is a case of law enforcement not having any concrete evidence against the mom other than “you just know” and the person who likely had a more direct hand being deceased.

I hope I’m wrong.
