Authorities believe they have found the body of a 59-year-old Tuscaloosa County man who has been missing for two months, and murder charges have been filed.

Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit investigators early today recovered skeletal remains at a dump site off of Calhoun Road in McCalla. The remains have not yet been positively identified as Morris David Watson, but lawmen were led to the body and the circumstances surrounding the discovery matched the information they had been given.

Watson has been missing since Sept. 9. He was last seen by family members in the 4900 block of Highway 171 in Northport in his 1992 white C2500 Chevy truck. They notified police and filed a missing person report on Sept. 23.

Investigators last week announced they wanted to question Donnie Lee McCutcheon, 31, and Annie Lynn Weir, 33, in Watson's disappearance. The pair had recently stayed with Watson, investigators said.

Both McCutcheon and Weir had recently been spotted in the Chattanooga area, and were believed to be in Watson's truck. They both were taken into custody shortly after 8 a.m. Wednesday in northern Georgia. Watson's missing truck was found about five hours later.

Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Lt. Kip Hart today said Weir is Watson's ex-stepdaughter, and McCutcheon her boyfriend. They found Wednesday in Flintstone, Ga.

Weir agreed to return to Tuscaloosa with investigators. McCutcheon was held in the Walker County, Georgia jail pending an extradition hearing. He waived the hearing this morning and is in the process of being transported back to Tuscaloosa.

After interviewing Weir, Hart said, she was charged with first-degree receiving stolen property and booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail on a $30,000 bond.

Wednesday night, about 11:15 p.m., investigators discovered human remains in a concrete dump site located off Calhoun Road in the McCalla area. "This was based off information uncovered during yesterday's investigation,'' Hart said. "The human remains are believed to be those of Morris Watson."

The remains were transported to Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences for autopsy and identification. At this time investigators believe the manner of death to be homicide caused by gunshot.

Investigators have obtained a murder warrant on Donnie McCutcheon and it will be served after he is returned to Tuscaloosa.
