These were the Nursing Home residents whose care they were entrusted with that they abandoned during the hurricane.
I believe these were the ones that were tied together so that their bodies could be found easier.:mad:

More than 30 lawsuits have been filed against the couple by patients injured at the nursing home and the families of people who died there.

In a lawsuit filed last month, the couple sued the government, saying federal, state and local officials failed to keep residents safe and evacuate vulnerable citizens as the storm approached.

The Manganos have argued that their hurricane plan – to keep frail residents in place with food, water and generators rather than risk moving them – was a responsible course of action, and if the levees had held, the tragedy would have been avoided.

The Manganos' attorney, James Cobb, has stressed that the nursing home never flooded before Katrina and the Manganos worried that an evacuation would kill some of their elderly patients.
