A dead 19-year-old man was found hidden inside a freezer by the new homeowners - with the victim’s parents now arrested.

Logan Michael Halstead’s body was found decomposed as the new owners cleaned up their new home on Sunday morning. After they were unable to lift the freezer they decided to clear it out - which is when they found a human hand according to Henry County Sheriff Eric Blankenship.

Now Logan’s parents, Michael Shane Halstead, 44, and Karen Tysinger Halstead, 43, have been arrested, accused of abuse of a corpse, and are being held in jail without bond. It is believed Logan could have been killed all the way back in July or August, the Sheriff said.

They just moved in, too. You know they at least briefly considered ignoring the body and pretending they saw nothing. Granted, it's not ideal, but do you want to do the whole "find a place" process again!? Which is worse, really?

"We can clean up the corpse stench hon, we're not going back into the housing market again. And hey, I think we get a discount on therapy too..."

At what point do you get curious if there are more corpses hidden between your walls?
