An Arizona man has been arrested after confessing to authorities that he had kept his deceased father's body in a freezer and moved it around the state for four years. The man, identified as a 51-year-old Arizona native, was charged with concealing a body in his backyard and failing to report the death of someone not under the care of a healthcare provider.
According to court documents, the investigation began when Tempe police received an online tip alleging that the man was storing his dead father in a freezer in the backyard of his residence. When police visited the man's home, he initially refused to allow them to inspect the freezer, claiming that his father had passed away in Oregon four years ago.
