The body of a missing Florida woman for nearly six years was found last month in the freezer of a scrap processing company, the owner said Friday.
Lilian Argueta opened the freezer and shouted when she found the body, she told Sun-Sentinel. She said that she originally thought that the body was a "witch or a dummy".
The Broward County Medical Examiner's office then identified the body as Heather Lacey, 29, who disappeared in November 2013, according to the newspaper.
Heather Anne Lacey's body was found in a freezer in a scrap warehouse.

The freezer allegedly belonged to Jonathan Escarzaga, found dead in his apartment in February. The freezer was transferred from his apartment to a scrap warehouse in Margate, 40 km north of Miami, after the apartment manager hired a company to remove the appliances.

The freezer was not locked, said the owners of the warehouse. They opened it about a month after Escarzaga's death and found the missing woman.
It was not clear right away if Escarzaga had played a part in Lacey's death or had known each other.
