SUMMARY: Hurricane Katrina had a devastating impact on the Gulf Coast, with many lives lost and families torn apart. One family finally received closure this week after DNA testing identified their missing loved one, Tonette Jackson, nearly two decades after she disappeared. Her husband had desperately searched for her after the storm, but her body was only recently positively identified. Through forensic investigations and genetic genealogy research, Tonette's name was added to the list of victims on the Katrina Memorial. While her family still mourns her loss, they can now find comfort knowing she is at peace.

In August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina forever changed the lives of those on the Gulf Coast.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Coast Coliseum is planning to expand parking, which will require the demolition of the Oakmont Place neighborhood. Residents are not happy about losing their homes, but the Coliseum sees it as a necessary development. The Pops Ferry Road Extension will also impact the neighborhood. The Coliseum is purchasing homes in the area to make room for more parking spaces, as the current 2900 spaces are not enough for the events held at the venue. The project is moving forward despite funding challenges, with the Coliseum applying for $4.5 million in Gulf Coast restoration funds to help offset costs.

Mississippi Coast Coliseum intends to purchase 17 homes to demolish and expand its property to the west.
