Gary Hargrove Quotations

We had two meetings here (with Louisiana missing people hotline officials) about forwarding Mississippi information to us. That didn't happen. They sat on this information. We had our missing person task force up and going and we were getting a lot of stuff done. We were able to track a lot of people down.

When we shut down our missing persons operation, all of a sudden here they come... dropping in all these files. Now we have to re-task people. We're trying to work it in with our regular duties.

We got no assistance from the Red Cross, period. Not from the local, state or national chapters.

The possibility that he may not be recovered is there. We certainly hate that, but we've done everything we can to recover everyone from the cemetery as well as our storm victims.
