Trial Continues in Lawsuit Over Missing Body of Julie Mott
San Antonio Express-News Courts reporter Elizabeth Zavala breaks down the first week of the Mott family lawsuit against Mission Park Funeral Chapels and Cemeteries. Robert “Dick” Tips, owner, and his wife, Kristin, who is president of the San Antonio-based funeral business, are being sued in civil court by the family of Julie Mott, 25, who died from cystic fibrosis in August 2015. Relatives learned her body went missing from a damaged casket the day after her memorial service, held at the Cherry Ridge facility on the Northwest Side, and before she was to be cremated. The body has not been found.
