49 Katrina Victims’ Remains Unidentified
From Times Wire Reports
Ten months after Hurricane Katrina struck, 49 people found dead in the floodwater remain unidentified, the Orleans Parish coroner said.
Some of the remains were discovered recently as construction workers began demolishing heavily damaged homes, said Dr. Frank Minyard. Others were found by firefighters doing new searches.
“The more they go down and do work, the more remains they’re finding. I think this is going to go on a good while,” he said.
