Another smoking gun.

Sounds like she went down fighting.

That's what I wondered. Also wondering if they have the route traveled to the Texas truck burning. Hopefully the right person is behind bars and the case is solid. When I first heard this I was curious as to how it would play out.

Thankfully this guy is an idiot. I can't think of a stupider thing he could have done in that situation. He went into the hospital claiming to be stabbed. This guaranteed that the cops would be by to visit him later to poke around and try to find out what happened.

I wouldn't say it's a smoking gun but it's another big piece of circumstantial evidence that might not have been there if he was a little smarter about it.

Equusearch is again searching for Mickey Shunick. Lafayette Police asked the search and recovery team Equusearch to come back two days after Brandon Lavergne's kidnapping and murder arrest. Equusearch was here for about a week soon after Mickey's disappearance in May. They left after exhausting all leads.
About a dozen Equusearch team members were searching today in St. Martin Parish, but still no sign of Mickey.

"Unfortunately we haven't been to the right place so we're here until it's over with or we've done everything can," said Executive Director Tim Miller.

Last time they were here, they allowed volunteers to help, but this time, only experienced people are allowed on searches. They've gone through extensive training with Equusearch and know how to search for evidence.

A grand jury will meet today to decide if there's enough evidence to indict Brandon Scott Lavergne, the man charged with aggravated kidnapping and first-degree murder of Mickey Shunick.

Brandon Lavergne will not make the walk from the Lafayette Parish Jail to the courthouse today. District Attorney Mike Harson says Lavergne wasn't invited to testify and he has no right to attend. I spoke with a Lafayette criminal defense attorney not working on this case to get answers on what strategies the defense may use.

For forty-four years Thomas Guilbeau has practiced criminal law in Lafayette, covering a variety of cases including homicides and death penalty cases. He says it won't be hard to get an indictment from a grand jury in Lavergne's case.
