Have y'all seen this? This couple got some press after Katrina for never leaving the quarter. They were profiled in the NY Times. Police found her body chopped up and cooked on the stove and oven. Some parts found in the refrigerator. He was also known around the quarter at local bars for drinking High Life & taking shots of Jameson. Anyway, here an excerpt form his suicide note.

“This is not accidental. I had to take my own life to pay for the one I took. If you send a patrol to 826 N. Rampart, you will find the dismembered corpse of my girlfriend Addie in the oven, on the stove, and in the fridge along with full documentation on the both of us and a full signed confession from myself.... Zack Bowen.”

From a five-page letter left by Bowen in the couple’s residence on Rampart Street...

“I scared myself not by the action of calmly strangling the woman I’ve loved for one and a half years, and then (decimating) her body but by my entire lack of remorse. I’ve known for ever how horrible of a person I am — ask anyone — and decided to quit my jobs and spend the 1,500 dollars cash I had being happy until I killed myself. So, that’s what I did: good food, good drugs, good strippers, good friends and any loose ends I may have had. I didn’t contact any of my family. So that’ll explain the shock. And had a fantastic time living out my days...It’s just about time now.”

Only in America...oh wait.

there will be a major mothion picture by the end of 2007 about this.

those quotes made me sick to my stomach.

This is really a huge story down here cause the nature of the crime and because they were a sort a of well known couple are the french quarter locals. They both tended bar.
