12 Bodies Found In Weymouth Storage Unit Identified

BOSTON (CBS) - The Suffolk County District Attorney's Office has now identified all 12 bodies found in a Weymouth storage facility last July, but they can't find the next of kin for three of them.

They are William J. McDougall, who died at age 67 at St. Joseph Nursing Center in Dorchester; Maggie Moore, age 65, who died at Annemark Nursing Home in Revere; and Sadie Waddy, age 90, who died at Bay Pointe Rehab in Brockton.

McDougall was born in Washington state; Moore in Alabama and Waddy in Virginia.

They are among the bodies Dorchester Funeral Home owner Joseph O'Donnell allegedly placed in the storage locker, after taking money from clients, and giving them the wrong remains.
