Discovery and Autopsy Findings
Margaret Haxby-Jones' body was found in a freezer at her home, allegedly hidden by her husband, Robert Haxby, for financial gain, after he forced a friend at gunpoint to assist in the concealment.
The autopsy report, unsealed weeks after Haxby's death, revealed Haxby-Jones died from natural causes but was unable to determine the exact cause due to the prolonged concealment.
Legal and Community Response
Despite investigations, authorities could not gather sufficient evidence to charge Robert Haxby before his death in February. The case is now on inactive status pending new information.
The Allied Gardens community and Haxby-Jones' family were left in shock, as police had responded to the home nearly 20 times for various issues but failed to uncover the hidden body.
