Friends and acquaintances said the couple met the night Hurricane Katrina slammed into New Orleans. They were featured in a New York Times story in the weeks following the storm. They had refused to evacuate the city and survived by cooking on a fire they built in a bucket using blown down tree limbs as fuel. They traded booze and beer for fresh water, and Addie made sure the cops made regular patrols past their French Quarter apartment by flashing her breasts at passing squad cars.

Four days before Bowen killed her, Addie tried to throw Bowen out of their apartment. She told their landlord that Bowen had cheated on her. "She told me she caught him being unfaithful to her," the landlord said during a television news interview. "She told me three times she caught him being unfaithful—her words."
Deputy New Orleans Police Chief Anthony Canatella said the crime scene was one of the worst he has ever seen. "I've been on the job 40 years," Canatella said. "It was obviously very gruesome."
Gruesome even by New Orleans standards.
