Juneau police are investigating after human remains were found inside a freezer on a Glacier Highway property.

The Juneau Police Department were called to a residence on the 6500 block of Glacier Highway shortly before 8 p.m. Sunday (July 19) following a report of possible human remains discovered on the property.

“The reporting party advised officers they had been cleaning out the residence following the death of a family member when they located what appeared to be human remains inside a chest freezer in a locked outbuilding on the property,” according to a release from Deputy Chief Krag Campbell.

Officers confirmed the presence of human remains, which are believed to be those of an adult male family member.

“The length of time the remains have been in the freezer is unknown,” according to police. “Investigators have determined that no missing person’s report related to the deceased was ever filed with the Juneau Police Department.”

The remains have been transported to the State Medical Examiner’s Office, where an autopsy will be conducted to confirm the identity of the deceased and determine the cause of death.

Police are continuing to investigate and say there does not appear to be a threat to the public.
