The remains of a black female found less than ten miles southwest of Superior in an abandoned freezer have been identified, officials confirmed Tuesday.

A camper on Dec. 15 found the body of Phoenix resident Deanna Rosalie Fuegos, 45, inside a freezer three miles south of the U.S. 60 near the Picket Post exit , according to Pinal County Sheriff’s office spokeswoman Vanessa White.

The remains were identified by the woman’s fingerprints.

Investigators do not yet know how Fuegos died or how long her body remained inside of the abandoned appliance after her death, White said.

The Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office will continue an investigation of Fuegos’ body to determine the cause of death.
