Church feels betrayed by Katrina couple

MEMPHIS, TENN. — A church that wanted to do something
special for Hurricane Katrina victims gave a $75,000
house, free and clear, to a couple who said they were
left homeless by the storm. But the couple turned
around and sold the place without ever moving in, and
went back to New Orleans.

"Take it up with God," Joshua Thompson told a TV
reporter after it was learned that he and the woman he
identified as his wife had flipped the home for
$88,000.

Church members said they feel their generosity was
abused by scam artists. They are no longer even sure
that the couple were left homeless by Katrina or that
they were a couple at all.
