LOWELL — Murder charges have been filed in the case involving the 36-year-old Lowell man whose body was found by police last December crammed into a freezer inside a Coburn Street home. 

Some families must face the agony of knowing their child has been murdered. To bury your child is horrific; to do it because someone took their life must be unimaginable. This was precisely what happened to the Potters in 1999 when their daughter went missing and was murdered. However, twenty years later, they face the same heartbreak due to their thirty-seven-year-old son.

The family of the man who was killed and put in a freezer in Lowell, Massachusetts, identified him John Wayne Potter. Authorities haven't publicly identified...

Michael Burke and Samantha Perry, both 38 years old, are facing kidnapping charges after a 37-year-old Lowell man was found dead during a well-being check at a the pair's residence on Coburn Street on Friday.

Along with the body of the 37-year-old victim, police found evidence that suggested he had been restrained in the home at some point.
