2 bodies found in freezer in abandoned mansion after 911 caller reported seeing blood

EAST LANSING, Michigan. (WILX/Gray News) – Two bodies were found in a freezer in an abandoned townhouse in Michigan last week, police said.

The disturbing discovery was made Thursday at a townhouse in East Lansing.

Police said they were called to the home on Wintercrest Avenue for a “suspicious situation.”

Police said someone called 911 to report seeing blood on the floor inside the home. When officers arrived they confirmed they saw blood on the ground.

Police searching the house found a human body in the freezer. They also found a duffel bag containing the remains of a second body inside the freezer.

A neighbour, who did not want to give his name, said the situation was “deeply worrying”.

“It’s very disturbing to know that we are sleeping a thin wall away from many bodies,” the neighbor said.

Authorities have not identified the remains and the evidence is being examined at a crime lab.

According to police, they do not have any leads or suspects at this time, but they believe this is an isolated crime and there is no threat to the public.

Police are investigating the deaths as homicides.

The neighbor said he was further disturbed by the fact that the house wouldn’t have a freezer in the first place.

“None of these units have giant freezers. Someone brought a freezer big enough to hold two people and put it in this unit. “This is very strange,” he said.

Neighbors were also stunned as they said they thought the house had been abandoned for months.

“There was no activity inside or outside this home. All the mail and items stuck in the door were where they had been for months. Our doorbell camera did not detect any movement or activity,” the neighbor said.

Anyone with any information that could help with this case is asked to contact the East Lansing Police Department. Tips should be directed to Detective Sergeant. Nicole Mitchell at (517) 319-6876 or Detective Jason Cotton at (517) 319-6842.
