Officers search woods off I-95 in connection to Peabody murders

PEABODY, Mass. — Officers were spotted slowly and methodically walking near the woods off I-95 in Peabody Friday afternoon.

State Police said the search was related the double homicide that happened last weekend in Peabody, where  37-year-old Mark Greenlaw and 39-year-old Jennifer O'Connor were killed.

The District Attorney described the murder scene on Farm Avenue as "messy and cluttered." One person has been arrested in connection, Michael Hebb, while another remains at large.

Suspect Wes Doughty allegedly carjacked a man in Middleton late Wednesday night and started driving south. The carjack victim said Doughty told him he killed the two people because they gave his godfather heroin. The victim was able to escape unharmed.

What exactly the State Police were looking for Friday is unclear.

If you see Doughty, do not approach and call 911 immediately.
