Barbara Williams said she’s been asking the cemetery for years if her father’s body was moved. The grave marking is missing and the ground was moved on his grave site.

“If he’s there, there are three people on top of him,” Williams said.

The investigation stems from a case where a teenager’s body was not buried where it should have been.

Families said they are not getting answers from authorities regarding their loved ones’ burials.
