Woman missing for nearly a decade found stuffed in California freezer
The San Diego Police Department (SDPD) has announced that a woman’s body was found stuffed in a freezer last month, and she may have been missing or dead for up to nine years.
The body of Mary Margaret Haxby-Jones, who police say would have been 81 at the time of her discovery, was found by out-of-town family members who were visiting a house on the 4900 block of Zion Avenue, situated about 10 miles northeast of Downtown San Diego, California.
The family members came across the startling discovery in a chest freezer and notified police on Dec. 22 at around 11:45 a.m., the SDPD said in a statement Thursday. Based on the unusual location of the senior’s body, the San Diego Police Homicide Unit was called to investigate.

Police said Haxby-Jones, described as a white female, had lived at the residence.
The cause of death has not been determined and remains under investigation by the Medical Examiner’s Office, the SDPD said.

No obvious traumatic injury to the body was noted, and the case remains under investigation as a suspicious death, police said.
Detectives believe it is possible that Haxby-Jones may have been missing or dead for up to nine years, based on the investigation to that point. Detectives are interested in speaking with anyone who may have known her or have relevant information about her.
It is unclear who currently lives at the residence on Zion Avenue where the body was discovered.

Pete Carrillo, a former homicide detective, told Fox 5 San Diego that investigators would likely be examining Haxby-Jones’ financial records.
“It’s a misappropriation of a dead body, you have a duty to call the authorities if someone has passed so they can be processed in a normal fashion,” Carrillo said.
“All that process has been avoided for a particular reason and one could only think that it was to perhaps benefit financially off of not reporting her death.”

Knight, a five-time Olympian and captain of the United States team that won gold, will be out of the lineup for the Seattle Torrent indefinitely after sustaining a lower-body injury in Italy, the team announced Friday.
Knight had three goals and three assists for the U.S. at Milan Cortina including a goal in the 2-1 overtime win over Canada in the final. She has three goals and seven assists during the current PWHL season.

“While we’re eager to be at full strength and recognize the anticipation of Hilary’s return, we’re focused on putting her and our team in the best position for a playoff push,” Torrent general manager Meghan Turner said in a statement.
Minnesota Frost captain Coyne Schofield was placed on long-term injured reserve on Friday retroactive to Feb. 19 with an upper-body injury. Coyne Schofield scored three goals for the United States during the Olympics.
“I am incredibly proud of all our Frost Olympians who demonstrated true excellence on the world stage,” general manager Melissa Caruso said in a statement. “We are fully committed to supporting Kendall throughout her recovery, and our medical team will be working diligently to help her prepare for her return to the ice.”
The moves by the Torrent and Frost came a day after the Montreal Victoire announced that Ambrose has been placed on long-term injured reserve retroactive to Feb. 19 for a lower‑body injury suffered while representing Canada in the gold medal game. Ambrose had a pair of assists at the Olympics.
The Victoire’s Marie-Philip Poulin, Canada’s captain in Italy, was listed as day-to-day with an Olympics-related injury.
Victoire general manager Daniele Sauvageau said of the team’s Olympians “we are confident that they will be back in the lineup in the near future.”
