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.”

Politics
Lawmakers watered down their original legislation to focus on data handled by state agencies.
The Utah Jazz are in the market to add a new center to their roster following their decision to ship out Walker Kessler to the Los Angeles Lakers.
They’ve already made a few moves to bolster their five spot in the first few days of free agency. Utah signed former Lakers big man Jaxson Hayes to a two-year deal, and re-signed a veteran of their own in Jusuf Nurkic that gives them at least some depth to lean on. But their work still might not be done trying to replace their defensive anchor in the middle.
Perhaps they could bring in another name off of free agency––or just maybe, they could look towards the trade market to address their hole at center, where there also might be a few intriguing veterans to target and fill their biggest need at the moment.
With that in mind, let’s look into three potential trade scenarios that the Jazz could consider to do just that:
Utah Provides Orlando With Bench Scoring
A simple one-for-one swap of guys on expiring deals; this could be an easy way for the Jazz to add another depth big man in the form of Bitadze, while sending Sensabaugh to a team that desperately needs another layer of shooting and scoring upside.
Bitadze has been a reliable rotational big since arriving in Orlando in 2023, posting an average of 6.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks a night in around 17 minutes a night. It’s easy to imagine him filling into a similar, defensive-focused role within Utah’s second unit.
Considering the Magic now have Wendell Carter Jr., newly-signed Nikola Vucevic, and Bitadze on top of it, it feels like one of the existing pieces from this frontcourt could be on the move. It sets up a perfect opportunity for the Jazz to strike and get ahead of Sensabaugh’s extension situation.
Utah Adds a New Starting Center Via Dallas
The most appealing center who could be on the block within this list: Daniel Gafford has been someone already placed into various trade rumors during the past few weeks of this offseason. That’s great news for the Jazz, who make perfect sense as a suitor to host him as a starting center for next season.
Gafford’s most recent time in Dallas has been the best stretch of his career in terms of statistics: he’s logged averages of 11.0 points and 6.9 rebounds a night while shooting an impressive 70% from the field. He’s not someone to expand his game much further than inside the arc, but as a lob threat and interior presence, there’s a lot to work with.
Utah would have to give up a bit of a bigger package in this one compared to what someone like Bitadze might command from Orlando. But Gafford’s locked in under contract for multiple years, and a more capable threat on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. So he’s worth the investment.
Utah Lands More Future Assets From Denver
A deal like this certainly wouldn’t be groundbreaking by any means. Someone of Zeke Nnaji’s caliber might even slot below Jaxson Hayes on the depth chart, and the returning draft picks for Utah tell you the type of asset he is on the trade market.
But the Nuggets are in a position to prioritize adding defense, shedding big men from their roster, and lessening their cap burden. This deal does just that, and only requires them to relinquish their two seconds received in their draft trade down from last month’s draft to do so.
Maybe the Jazz can unlock something from Nnaji’s game this coming season as a reserve big man––considering he’s averaged less than four points per game in the last three years––and if not, they get compensated with future draft picks to add him to their roster.

July 4 weekend is a quiet one for new indie releases, leaving the field to Angel Studios’ PG-13 wide release Young Washington on 2,700 screens.
From Angel and Wonder Project, the film, timed to the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S., stars British actor William Franklyn-Miller as the young man who would go on to become the nation’s first president.
Directed by Jon Erwin (I Can Only Imagine, Jesus Revolution), with Mary-Louise Parker as George’s mother, Ben Kingsley as Virginia Gov. Robert Dinwiddie, and Kelsey Grammer as wealthy nobleman Lord Fairfax. See Deadline review.
Synopsis: “Before he was the Father of a Nation, he was a soldier fighting to survive. A single misstep thrusts young George Washington into the center of a global conflict, testing his honor, loyalty, and courage. As alliances crumble and the frontier erupts into war, he must confront not only his enemies but the man he’s becoming.”
The action is set in the 1750s with Washington as a young man eager to fight, initially as a British officer in a period of complex loyalties. He enlists at 23 and leads a disastrous campaign against the French in Ohio but fights brilliantly and his career takes off.
