MOVE bombing victims' remains weren't cremated, says Philadelphia mayor

The remains of MOVE bombing victims thought to have been cremated and disposed of have been found, according to Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney. The discovery came a day after city Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley was forced to resign for ordering the remains to be cremated in 2017.

Kenney says he was notified Friday afternoon that a box labeled "MOVE" was found in a refrigerated area of the Medical Examiner's Office. After comparison, Kenney says the remains appear to be the bone fragments that were ordered cremated by Farley four years ago. Farley's resignation and the revelation came on the 36th anniversary of the 1985 bombing of the headquarters of a Black organization. Five children were among the 11 people killed when police bombed MOVE's headquarters, causing a fire that spread to over 60 row homes.
