Body of murdered Filipina found inside freezer in Texas

MANILA, Philippines – The body of a 24-year-old Filipina was found stuffed inside a freezer in a home in Texas in the United States on Monday, July 29.

Edward was also found dead in the home the two once shared. Police said he had shot himself. 

The Rogers were said to be in the process of getting divorced.
