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.

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.
