Those photos of Brandon Lavergne make me sad. I look at photos of young people and think of how they have time on their side like a pocketful of glittering doubloons. How they are looking forward to whatever life has to hold. Things like slow-dancing in a barn or kissing under the stars...

Yes. Exhaustion. I will never forget this summer. Miserable rain four times a day almost every day since July 6. Hurricane prep now when I am so sore I can barely move. And Mickey... oh, Mickey. Exhausted and contemplative.

Actually, I know one thing that would have helped in the old days: Cajun Justice from the men of her family, and the family of the 1999 victim. Whatever that means.

This hurts to hear because it showed that authorities knew for 20 years that BSL was a dangerous person... and yet he was able to still have the freedom to kill Mickey. I don't know what they really could have done, once he served his time, but still -

I'm thinking of the Shunicks.... raining here in Lafayette..... they have their Mickey back and now it's time for real to face the finality of it all...... now a real letting go and a private memorial for them.... God bless you folks and my thoughts and prayers are with you again today.

Sure we do!:blushing:

Hi, just checking in. I've noticed around town that it's mostly the women who are talking about Mickey. I have heard from several women I see regularly -clerks - employees at shops, etc. It's obvious that this would be the feeling, but universally the main point I have heard is that the women...

Well, I know that a lot of folks think Brandon had no remorse, and used revealing Mickey's location just to save himself. Reading what his defense attorney says, it sounds like that he convinced at least his attorney that remorse was a factor in the revelation. Now of course, he could have...

I just read the funeral-home obit for Lisa's Aug. 17 memorial. Interesting that it was held only five hours after BSL's conviction. I see that she was one of eight siblings. So sad that three of the eight are deceased. That family has seen more than its share of heartache; I hope that they took...

Regarding why she wouldn't have turned off St. Landry once BSL was following her: I assume BSL dropped back with the truck and went slowly - slow enough so that his motor was quiet and that his headlights didn't shine brightly on Mickey to alert her. Her bike had no rear-view mirror. He waited...

I can see myself really fixing to unload in all directions, so I'm signing out.

So far I think everyone has missed my point for a couple days now. If she was successful in fighting off a rape, then that's her victory that no one should take away talking on a blog. I'm starting to get more and more nonplussed with the number of posters who are taking her rape as a FACT and...

Been eating them for years. Maybe that's what's wrong with me. Gotta go check my roux - can't burn it!

BSL's wounds mean that things did not go as planned. Had he been wound-free, your idea would be much more likely. As it is, we have a cut-up perp. We also have no mention of rape whatsoever in any official documents. I am not being disrespectful. I'm looking at what happened and saying I think...

Yes, the Daily Advertiser cam was DIRECTLY on the most direct route out of town. Not only that - it's at almost the exact point where she would have realized he wasn't taking her home. It's not impossible that the struggle was taking place as the truck passed in front of the camera!

It was high enough on the building where i think there's a good chance it caught the bike in the back of the truck. Good thinking.

I'm sorry I can't keep up - I'm in the middle of making a very large batch of chanterelle mushroom soup - rare and expensive mushrooms picking back in the woods - no replacing them until next year's crop if I screw it up - intricate recipe. I have seen a definite bias on this board toward...

bottom line, this brave young lady took down a serial killer. I agree with some comments I have read: I think it would be inspiring and appropriate for a life-size or half-size bronze sculpture of Mickey on her bike to be mounted in a city park. It would be a reminder to our local girls to...

I understand the reluctance to trust BSL's version. I'm going to say that I believe most of it though. Regarding the gunshot, if she stabbed him right away on St. Landry, and then he stabbed her, then I don't know why, if she was already dead, or so he thought, he would drive out into to the...

If you watch CSI and other crime dramas, you learn that part of police work is an artistic balancing act. If every single crime, large or small, were prosecuted without prosecutorial judgment, not only would the police and court system be bogged down in a billion cases and grind to a halt, but...
