Overstreet was a teenager from Harris County, Texas, who vanished in 2005.
The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office discovered the remains shortly after a home in Grand Junction was sold in January.
The remains, consisting of a human head and a set of hands, were found by someone who arrived to claim the freezer, which was being offered for free by the new owner of the property.
Investigators confirmed that the remains belonged to Overstreet, who was estimated to be around 16 years old at the time of her disappearance.
Overstreet was the biological daughter of the previous owner of the property where her remains were found.
