The Mickey Shunick Story

[alum81]

He has been convicted in court of aggrivated oral sexual battery on a child. What ever punishment he got or gets is, in my opinion, too easy.

Gandalf isn't real...

And so few among us these days know the difference.

As you recall, a white Chevy Silverado, possibly a model Z-71, was identified as a vehicle of interest after surveillance video was released; Showing Mickey riding her bike at the same time the truck was headed down St. Landry. Police say that truck was Lavergne's and he was driving. Police believe he quickly dumped the vehicle, days after those pictures were released. Deputies in San Jacinto Texas say they found a truck in their county, on May 31, burned. But Lafayette police didn't get the tip until the middle of June.
San Jacinto is approximately an hour's drive north from Houston. Lavergne's truck was found burned only days after Lafayette police released photographs of the truck as a vehicle of interest. But it wasn't until June 14th, when an unknown caller phoned the tip line, relaying the information about the burned truck in Texas.

I feel very sorry for the family of this young woman. I can't, however, help but wonder what in God's name she was doing riding around on a bicycle at 2:00 AM by herself? I'm a 6-1 and 205 lb male in pretty good shape. I'm also a concealed handgun permit holder that is well trained in the use of my weapon. Even though I'd be well armed, you'll still never see me riding around by myself on a bicycle at 2:00 AM.

If he'd have gotten the hanging he deserved for THAT crime, he wouldn't have been around to commit THIS crime. Let no one feel mercy for him.

I wonder if this guy ever spent time in Jennings?

I thought the same thing. The person that committed this crime is at fault, no doubt about it. But you can't impress upon young women enough that they cannot travel around alone and certainly not in the middle of the night. There are predators out there and regardless of how unfair it is, ignoring it or disliking it isn't going to make it go away.

Oiler, too often people do something once and are successful and then continue to do it believing that it is a safe practice. This wasn't the first time Mickey Shunick rode her bike at this hour. Unfortunately, she came face to face with an individual with sinister motives. Lafayette isn't the quiet town it used to be. We must be on guard at all times and make decisions that ensure our safety.
