So many questions.
Okay, why were they staying there?
So, let's say you gave a guy name Alan who lives in the home. Alan lived in the home, and invited his family members Brad and Janet to stay. Brad and Janet investigate the freezer, and see a dead body of someone (apparently Mary Margaret Haxby-Jones, 81, a white woman) they have never seen or heard of, then call the police. But Alan does not? I'm trying to think of this setup, and the oddly worded distinctions in this article. I guess we're all trying to figure out if "Alan" killed poor Mary, then put her in the freezer, but why not say that? And why specify Mary is a white woman?
It's all weird. And maybe I am projecting, but I am trying to picture myself as Brad and/or Janet. "So, we were snooping in your deep freezer, and, uh... who is that?" Why were they snooping in the deep freezer? Was it a deep freezer or an upright? Was the body intact? Even wrapped? What did "Alan" say? Why did Brad and Janet call the police and not Alan? Why is Alan never mentioned, even anonymously? "The legal counsel for Alan has stated he didn't know the body was in the freezer, the freezer belonged to his father, now deceased." Or something?
Racism, misandry.

Or it's just the only identifying information the media had at the time? Not everything is "missing white woman syndrome." This is the second article I've seen recently with one of these comments.
