Woman finds human body parts in freezer she bought from her neighbour

The woman who sold the freezer told her neighbor not to open it because a Sunday school class was using it as a time capsule.

The truth wasn’t nearly so innocent.


The woman, who asked not to be identified, told WNCN that she opened the freezer three weeks after getting it, because no one from the church came by.

“A church was supposed to come, pick up the items inside the freezer. I was supposed to get the freezer back,” she said. “The church never came. I decided to open it.”

Instead of a time capsule, the Goldsboro, North Carolina, woman found body parts inside of the deep freezer that she had bought from a neighbor for $30.

“My heart was in my throat and I ran outside, called 911,” she said.

Even worse, the neighbor said she believes the body parts are those of the seller’s elderly mother. She said she hadn’t seen the mother since September, but that she was a sweet woman.

The seller allegedly told her neighbor that she was going to West Virginia to take care of her mother and left town the day after selling her the freezer.

“She sold me her frozen mother for $30. How do you do something like that?” the woman said.

Police confirmed that human remains were found in the freezer and the body parts have been sent to a medical examiner for identification.
