Convicted killer Brandon Scott Lavergne maintained throughout his talks with police — including his taped confession — that he accidentally struck university coed Mickey Shunick's bicycle and never intended to kill her, according to recordings obtained by The Daily Advertiser.
The mother of a slain university coed has responded via Facebook to a courthouse plea from her daughter's killer's that his case be thrown out of court.
NBC's Dateline will air a special report tonight on the murder of University of Louisiana at Lafayette student Mickey Shunick, whose May 19 disappearance shook Acadiana to its core.
Did anyone see the Mickey Shunick Dateline NBC episode last night. It was great, what a tough little girl. Gotta love that family. The university should erect a perminant memorial for her. In her horrific death and short life, she embodied everything about the Cajun culture. Too sad of a story to think such a smart funny and sweet girl was taken way too early by a horrible man, who showed no remorse for the terrible act he committed.
Talked well about Lafayette and UL as well. In fact called us UL once in the piece. Showed dr. Saviou once.
And we learned that BSL is tiger fan.
Who is BSL?Quote:

What intersection is the surveillance video from? Where the dateline guy was walking? I've seen the video numerous times and never figured out where it was.
St Landry and University. By the Circle K. Video taken from city hall

Sad story and I really feel for the family.
My wife graduated from UL in the Liberal arts college, and a part of the ceremony they gave Mickey's father her diploma (anthropology). It was very moving, in fact just thinking about it gets me a little choked up. I thought it was a sincere, and appropriate tribute.
Everything I've seen and read makes me think the school was very supportive before and after she was found.Quote:

They often get criticized. But, the police department did an outstanding job.
+1....I'm no detective, but it looked like a difficult case to crack.Quote:

It was a well done piece. I saw the original air on tv. For those who missed it, see the link above. It's worth your time.
I was very impressed with "Charlie" Shunick. What a strong, determined, amazing young lady.
Agreed, she was very impressive for so young. I predict she will be very sucessfull in life.Quote:
