The Pulaski County Sheriff's Department arrested Teresa Owens, 51, early Wednesday morning. She is charged with abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence.
Police say the body found in the freezer has not been positively identified. However, police found the body after a woman told police on Tuesday that her 68-year-old father was missing. That night, they executed a search warrant at Gary Jenks' home on Happy Ridge Road.

The deputies arrived at the home on Happy Ridge Road in Nancy a rural community of about 5,100 around 10 p.m. ET Tuesday to investigate Jenks' disappearance. They found a horrific scene: a body, its limbs bound with string, stuffed inside a freezer in a trailer on the property.
The body was "in a frozen state," Clinard said Wednesday. Positive identification and a cause of death are pending an autopsy, he added.
The body was covered in powdery substances, Clinard said, believed to be from bags of fertilizer and lime powder that were found at the property.
