The body of a teen mum who went missing five months ago has been found inside her own freezer.
Ana Gabriela Medina Blanco, 19, was found in her home in the Venezuelan state of Aragua on July 29. She leaves behind a four-year-old son.
Investigators are hunting for her boyfriend and believe she was stabbed as many as 50 times with a screwdriver.
Her disappearance didn’t raise alarm bells as she would reportedly often travel to a different city for extended periods and only kept sporadic contact with her family.
It was her ex-partner who found her naked body inside the freezer, it was reported.

The teen’s body had been placed in a foetal position with her hands tied and her head between her legs.
Investigators later discovered she had multiple stab wounds all over her body, which they believe were inflicted with a screwdriver.
Her ex-partner, who has not been named and who is believed to be her son’s father, said he had been looking for Ana Gabriela for some time.
According to local media, her neighbours said she was last seen in February.
Ana would often travel to the Venezuelan capital of Caracas, so her absence from her hometown was not considered particularly abnormal.
Her stepfather also told local media he had moved to a different part of the country and only maintained sporadic contact with her.
However, as time went on, Ana Gabriela’s ex-partner decided to take matters into his own hands and enter her home to see if he could find any clues as to her whereabouts.
When he entered the property, he was met by a stench, so he looked in the fridge and then the freezer, where he came across the grim scene. He then went straight to the police.
Local media reports her new boyfriend – who has been identified only as Josue – is now the man detectives want to speak to.
Neighbours described him as “very jealous and abusive”, reporting that the pair were often heard fighting.
His whereabouts is currently unknown.
Investigators are still analysing the crime scene.
