New evidence connected to woman found dead in Miami Dollar Tree freezer, cops say
Miami police are combing through new evidence that might help investigators solve the mid-December case of a woman’s body found in a Dollar Tree freezer. Her family turned over video showing some of her last moments.
On the morning of Dec. 14, Helen Massiell Garay Sanchez’s body was found by an employee in the discount store at 968 SW Eighth St. in Little Havana, Miami police said.
The investigation quickly revealed there was no foul play, and the 32-year-old walked herself into the freezer “of her own free will,” a spokesperson with the department told the Miami Herald.
Authorities already had access to surveillance video in the store, however, Miami police told the Herald on Tuesday that they were given a video of her taken by a family member a short time before going into the store.
As of Tuesday afternoon, no official cause of death had been announced.
