Police are investigating the death of a 27-year-old woman whose body was found stuffed inside a freezer at an abandoned Dallas house – and whether a suspicious fire that broke out at the property later that day is connected.
Officers responded to the vacant home on Georgia Avenue in East Oak Cliff around 2:30 p.m. Sunday and found Mariah Murray’s body inside a freezer, according to Dallas police.
Dallas Fire-Rescue was later called to the scene after the house caught fire. Investigators have not said what caused the blaze or whether foul play was involved.
No arrests have been made, and police have not released information about a suspect or possible motive.
Murray’s loved ones, who describe her as a “good spirit,” are pleading for answers. They say she did not deserve the tragic circumstances of her death.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s appearance at a Kentucky military event on Monday was briefly derailed by mother nature.
Hegseth was speaking at a reenlistment ceremony at the Sabalauski Air Assault School at Fort Campbell when powerful, persistent winds overwhelmed his remarks.
“Great to see everybody. It’s an honor to be here,” he said, just as a strong gust sent the flags behind him whipping violently, rattling their poles, video captured by Fox News shows.
