At one point it was feared that homeless people living beneath the bridge might also have been trapped in the collapse, but Police Capt. Mike Martin said Thursday that that now appears not be the case.

A homeless man had gone to the security perimeter to retrieve his belongings from the site Wednesday and turned out to be a great source of information, Martin said. Based on that information, he said, investigators believe they have ruled out the possibility of any homeless victims.

The eight people reported missing and feared dead in the bridge collapse have been identified as Christine Sacorafas, 45, of White Bear Lake; Vera Peck, 50, and her son Richard Chit, 20, both of Bloomington; Greg Jolstad, 45, of Mora; Peter Hausmann, 47, of Rosemount; Sadiya Sahal, 23, of St. Paul, and her 2-year-old daughter, Hanah; and Scott Sathers, 29, of Maple Grove.

1. Why do they care if the homeless die under a bridge? They ignore them

when they LIVE under a bridge. Sick crowd.

3. Or if not ignored, called drug addicts, and told

"God provides for those who help themselves."
