In a shocking discovery in Alabama, new homeowners made a grim find in their backyard—a freezer containing the remains of a 19-year-old man. The subsequent investigation led to the detention of the teenager’s parents on charges related to the mishandling of a corpse. The incident unfolded as the homeowners were tidying up the property when they came across the old freezer, which contained the severely decomposed body of Logan Michael Halstead.
The perplexing circumstances of the discovery were compounded by the weight of the freezer, which prompted the owners to empty it, leading to the unsettling discovery of a human hand among its contents. According to the local sheriff’s department, the teenager’s family had been leasing the home and vacated it over a month prior to the new owners taking possession.
The parents of the deceased, Michael Shane Halstead, 44, and Karen Tysinger Halstead, 43, find themselves in custody without the option of bond. The local law enforcement has expressed their dedication to uncovering the details of the case, which remains under active investigation.
Further details revealed that the teen suffered from medical complications, including spina bifida. The father reportedly had a manic episode during which he claimed to have no memory of how his son’s body ended up in the inoperative freezer. Adding to the complexity of the case, it was disclosed that the father had previously informed another police department of his son’s abandoned remains earlier in the month, but a search at that time had not led to the location of the body.
