The body of the Kenner native who went missing after the collapse of a Miami-area condominium tower last month has been recovered.
Cassondria “Cassie” Billedeau-Stratton’s body was identified a day after it was found by crews searching the site.
Billedeau-Stratton, 40, was last heard from in the early morning of June 24, the day the 12-story Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Florida, collapsed. At least 94 people were killed and more than 20 others are still unaccounted for as of Monday.
She reportedly called her husband, who was in Washington D.C. for work, to tell him the pool outside their window had turned into a sinkhole. She screamed, and the line went dead.
Her relatives in Kenner, including her mother, sister and daughter, flew to Surfside to join Mike Stratton and watch as rescuers combed through the rubble looking for survivors.
