SUNO = Southern University at New Orleans.

This was yesterday afternoon, May 24, 2006, nearly nine months on, and they're still finding bodies. :grr: Heckuvajob, Brownie! :sarcasm:

A decomposed body believed to be that of a Hurricane Katrina victim was found Wednesday afternoon in the bathtub of a house across the street from the Southern University at New Orleans campus, police said....

A Texas company that collects addresses from loved ones and friends of people missing since Katrina checked the house about 2:30 p.m. and found the body, at least partially clothed, draped face down over the rim of the bathtub at 3604 Campus Blvd., police said.

The specific cause of death wasn’t known, but police made a preliminary classification of the death as Katrina-related, police said.

The company, Victim Relief, sends two-person teams to check houses on their missing persons list. Two chaplains from the company, which is based in Richardson, Texas, but has a trailer on North Claiborne and Caffin avenues in the 9th Ward, found the body.

How creepy is that? A company that does nothing but search for bodies? I wonder if they charge for the service...

2. Spooky? How about Crime Scene Cleanup?

There's a company here in DFW that provides cleanup after violent crimes and suicides.

What a way to make a livin' . . .

5. There's a billboard for that company

within a block of Parkland. How opportunistically gruesome.

7. Crime Scene Clean Up

Unfortunately these companies are a much needed service. Once the police have cleared the crime scene of all evidence they leave everything else behind. What is left behind may be blood, urine, feces, flesh, brain matter, throw up. These companies come in and completely disinfect the area and remove any items that have been damaged. TV has a bad habit of making crime scenes seem so neat and orderly and that is not the case.

What is so sad about N.O. is that we are still finding bodies 9 months after the fact. It makes me feel as if we live in a third world country.

[lies and propaganda]

4. it makes me sick.

I pull my fucking hair out that BushCo werent impeached on Katrina alone. All these people do is murder, in one way or another.
