6,600 People Remain Missing Following Katrina

HeadlineNov 28, 2005

USA Today is reporting over 6,600 people are still reported missing following Hurricane Katrina. Nearly 1,000 of the unaccounted are children. The head of the National Center for Missing Adults says many people are listed as missing because government record-keeping efforts haven’t caught up with them in their new locations. But fears are growing that the final death toll could increase significantly from the current toll of 1,300.
