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.

Awesome. I live in North Carolina now and have not been back since the Troy game 2 years ago. Next football season when I come back, i will make sure I stop and visit the memorial.

Thank you NBC for the nice peice on the Shunick family!

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.

Yup. Right where the houses end and the open field begins. On the left if your coming from old Lourdes to Blackham. I make a point to pass by it every time I go on a bike ride.

I didn't realize that there was also another video from a traffic camera showing the license plate, with a large post and an ice chest in the back of the truck. The camera at city hall showed the large post & ice chest which matched the same truck tied to BSL. So Lafayette's traffic cameras played a huge part in solving the case and getting the conviction. Sad story and I really feel for the family.
