Officials ask for patience as bodies await autopsies in morgue - Yahoo! News: "NEW ORLEANS - Life holds many riddles, but the death of Virginia Aitkens James isn't one of them, says her nephew, Tim Aitkens.
The solitary, 77-year-old widow lived alone in her ranch-style house in St. Bernard Parish. Katrina's floodwaters reached the rooftop. Searchers on Sept. 16 found a body in her attic and marked the door in spray paint: One dead.
For Aitkens, the only mystery now is why her body still lies in a black bag inside a metal trailer refrigerated to 37 degrees.
'She's a little old lady who drowned in her attic,' he said. 'I think they're so incompetent, I'm afraid now they're going to lose her.'"
