Arizona Man Arrested for Storing Father's Corpse in Freezer to Retain Home

Joseph Hill Jr. allegedly kept his deceased father's body in a backyard freezer for four years to avoid losing his residence.

Joseph Hill Jr., 51, was charged with concealing a body and failing to report a death after police discovered his father's remains in a freezer.
Hill reportedly feared losing his home, which was still under his father's name, if he reported the death.
Authorities were tipped off about the body on October 22, leading to a search warrant and the eventual discovery of skeletal remains.
Hill allegedly moved the freezer between properties in Arizona and attempted to bury the body in the desert multiple times.
Hill's bond was set at $25,000, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for November 4, as the investigation continues.
