Feds seek grand jury testimony from Associated Press photographer in Katrina death probe

AP photographer gets subpoena in Katrina probe

NEW ORLEANS — An Associated Press photographer has been ordered to testify before a federal grand jury probing the death of a man whose burned body was found in a car near a police station after Hurricane Katrina.

Federal prosecutors also are seeking photos that Alex Brandon took at an elementary school while working for The Times-Picayune of New Orleans and covering the aftermath of the Aug. 29, 2005, storm.

According to published reports, police were using the school as a temporary headquarters when a group of men drove up looking for help for 31-year-old Henry Glover, who had been shot.

One of those men told investigators Glover was still in the back seat when a police officer drove off with his car. Glover’s remains later were recovered from the car, which turned up charred on a levee.
