I'd be surprised if she's on the property. The house was flipped by the intermediate owners and sold in March of this year.Head and hands removed suggests they dumped her somewhere else and they were trying to conceal identity.
But the description of the property as being a "hoarder" situation makes me wonder if she's still on the property somewhere.
MOO
I’m not accusing the new owner in any way, but I am a bit surprised they didn’t open it prior to trying to give it away.Dismembered remains found in freezer identified as missing teen from 2005

Authorities in Colorado have identified recently sold remains that were found stored in a freezer nearly ten months ago.
The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office said the grim discovery was made shortly after a home in Grand Junction had been sold in January.
According to deputies, the remains of a human head and set of hands were found by someone who arrived to claim the freezer, which was being offered for free by the new owner of the recently sold property.
Investigators have confirmed the remains belong to Amanda Leariel Overstreet, a girl who had not been heard from since April 2005.
They estimate she was around 16 years old at the time of her disappearance.
“I mean, she was a child. She was 16 years old. She was still a child,” Wendy Likes, information and communications manager for the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office, said.
According to the sheriff’s office, Overstreet was the biological daughter of the previous owner of the property where her remains were found.
Neighbor Jameson Perez said there was a foul smell coming from the house when he would walk by. He also shared that the last time he saw the little girl was when she was on her way to school.
Police records indicate Overstreet was never reported missing.
The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office is continuing its investigation.
It's entirely possible that the rest of Amanda's body was left in Texas, horrible as that sounds. She disappeared in 2005, the Imers bought the house in Grand Junction in May of 2006. She may not have been missed in Colorado because she was never alive in Colorado.I'd be surprised if she's on the property.

I also think Nelda is the grandmother of our victim, Amanda, and that Amanda's daughter Leanne is the mother. I base that on this "Find a Grave" entry: Nelda Ann Owings Overstreet (1945-2005) - Find a...

April. That's months before the death of Nelda in July.CNN online October 12, 2024 article by Zoe Sottile entitled ‘Body parts found in Colorado freezer identified as 16-year-old girl, missing since 2005’:
Quoting from that article:
“Overstreet, believed to be “approximately 16 years old at the time of her disappearance,” had not been “seen or heard from since April 2005,” according to the sheriff’s office. She was the daughter of the home’s previous owner.
There is no evidence Overstreet was ever reported missing, and the “circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain under investigation,” the sheriff’s office said.”
And the article also states:
“One neighbor recalled seeing Overstreet walk to school before her disappearance, according to CNN affiliate KJCT.”
Good to see some additional national focus on the story. There was also some information on FB sources IIUC that some former classmates were intending to go through school year books for pictures. Hope that will prove fruitful and help with other possible timelines in this case. MOO
