Couple get $8 million for loss of daughter's body from San Antonio funeral home

Sharlotte and Timothy Mott weren’t in court Tuesday to hear a jury award them $8 million after they found a San Antonio funeral home was negligent in the loss of their daughter’s body before she was to be cremated in 2015.

Timothy Mott was at home, recuperating from a mild heart attack that occurred Friday following a grueling, nearly three-week trial in the civil suit filed against MPII Inc., which does business as Mission Park Funeral Chapels and Cemeteries.

Mark Greenwald, an attorney for the Motts, said after the verdict was read that the case was a hard one for the Mott family to endure, which is why they were only in court the days they testified.

“The Motts are happy that they got a jury verdict, but in the end we failed, as we did not find Julie, and that is all that really matters,” Greenwald said.

Where is Julie Mott?

I assume her boyfriend has her body, but what on earth did he do with it?
