Woman missing for nearly a decade found stuffed in California freezer

 Bill Pulte, CEO of Pulte Capital, argues that home prices will not drop much lower in the new year.

The commercial real estate industry is struggling with rising interest rates and the impact of remote work.

"My revenue per store has gone down by about $350,000, while my rent has gone up, labor has gone up 30%, insurance has gone up 40%, rent has gone up 10%," the restaurant owner insisted.

"It's unbelievable how much my costs have increased in the last three years."

Police said Haxby-Jones, described as a white female, lived at the residence.

SDPD said the cause of death has not been determined and the investigation by the Medical Examiner's Office is ongoing.

Police said no obvious traumatic injuries were seen on the body and the case was being investigated as a suspicious death.

Based on the investigation up to that point, detectives believe it is possible that Haxby-Jones may have been missing or dead for up to nine years. Detectives are interested in speaking to anyone who knows him or who has relevant information about him.

It is unclear who currently lives at the Zion Avenue residence where the body was found.

Former homicide detective Pete Carrillo told Fox 5 San Diego that investigators will likely look into Haxby-Jones' financial records.

"This is abuse of a corpse, if someone has passed away you have a duty to call the authorities so they can be processed in the normal way," Carrillo said.

“That entire process has been avoided for a specific reason and one can only think that perhaps not reporting his death would benefit him financially.”
