@reedus23 Beautifully written. I have lived in Cajun Country since the age of 6 and never have I been so proud to call it home. The community did come together like I have never witnessed before. It brings to mind the Candlelight Vigil for Mickey. So many people gathered together for one purpose, to bring Mickey home. And when the entire group started singing "all you need is love" well that was very powerful and amazing. I still get chills when thinking of it. Oh and Isaac has just been upgraded to a hurricane. Be safe all!
 
In the aftermath of this tragedy, of Ms. Mickey Shunick, fallen upon this great city of Lafayette, Louisiana...most have become silent, somber in reflection to the events preceding this day. The numbers here at WS attest (6 members and 5 guests) as I post here tonight.
I sit in limbo, with no further direction to sleuth, offer only idle chit-chat, if only to clear my own thoughts. Ms. Mickey's demise navigated me, personally, here for answers. A quest for truth, and due justice. A mere simpleton hoping to make a difference.
I feel Ms. Mickey at peace. And now, must I.
It's been a great ride with you guys! Exciting, enlightening...ya'll are cool.
Godspeed.

This took me an hour to write! LOL!

Many have responded to your post with much that I would state. One even mentioned the Maura Murray case. I think it is natural for all of us to step back after investing alot of emotion and time into something. We need to mentally recharge and that is healthy.

This case is far from over as many others have as well expressed, so there will be fluctuations in the numbers posting. LE has once again become very quiet and has asked families not to speak to the media etc. Ali's mom comes to mind in this respect. I know I have a limited amount of time that I spend reading up and following cases, and sometimes it is at this time that I begin once again to catch up on what has been going on in these cases.
 
I have followed this case from the beginning ( not sure how or why I found WS
but I did) . I believe that God works in mysterious ways and that finding this site was a spiritual thing and not a coincident ...so I prayed (along with many of you) that Mickey would be found.....and that BSL would understand how he affected so many people carrying out his horrible crimes I have only posted ten or so times....so im a luker.... I dont carry much weight...but I know I made contribution .......
I would like to say...thank you Mods for keeping the threads relevant and under control ... also many kudos to Chicken Fried as a true WS inside source..I would
also like to thank A.C.I for using his free time to work on this case. Foxfire I hope you write write a book on MS...... I think you( WSleuth'ers) all are amazing
...I do think that by keeping MS front and center helped solved this case. Ya'll
are amazing folks....keep on keeping on..........
I think I may move to Lafayette La..

Sorry I could not list all of your names that worked so hard..... but I dont think I need to..You know who you are.
 
Isaac is now a hurricane. Y'all stay safe and head to high ground. It will be a wet one.
 
Hi everyone. This is my first post as I recently signed up. I have been reading along however, since the beginning. When someone goes missing my heart always goes out to them and their loved ones but something about Mickey was different. I thought (and still do) of her and her family/friends everyday. Reading the news about her everyday and prayed continually for her. I cried so many times through out this and still do. I felt as though Mickey was a part of my family. I just cannot seem to understand or explain the way I am drawn to her. When mickeys body was found, like many of you i felt relief for the shunicks and that sweet mickey would be finally home, but ifelt devastated too. Hearing how hard she fought BSL broke my heart but made me so proud. She is a hero. I guess I just felt as though I needed to get this off my chest to many others who I know feel the same. Everyone here's dedication to this case is amazing. I have never been to Louisiana, but have always wanted to and after seeing how the community came together for Mickey made me even more want to go there. I have never seen people come together and love in that way before. Truly incredible.

Thank you all for listening to me.

Today I read an article where it was stated that at least 13 people were aware that Mickey had been murdered. This is the first time I hear of that (aside from the legal documents that stated BSL made a comment to certain people, however it was vague with no detail so I assumed nobody knew he killed her). http://*****************/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474981592553

Also I was wondering if anyone knows how BSLs family is doing? I read on another forum that BSLs girlfriend, or former girlfriend I should say, was doing "great" but hard to get over when he is on tv every night. I found "great" an odd word to be used.

BBM and well you should be.
 
Ok. I am going to get slammed for what I'm about to ponder out loud. But if there is any online forum that I would EVER post what I'm about to, it's here --because you all are pretty calm and collected and know how to "toss ideas around" without freaking out. So I'm just tossing this out there. PLEASE understand that this is not my opinion, but something I've wondered about ever since I've been a mother. Do you think that putting children in daycares from infancy then into school then after school care etc etc could be psychologically damaging SOME of them. I KNOW that some people have no choice. I'm just wondering because I have a couple of friends that put their babies in at 7am and don't get them until 6pm. That's a LONG time to be away from their mothers 5 days a week. Their older school aged children go to before care at school, then school, then are bused to an aftercare at a daycare. In nature, with most mammals, it is not normal for babies to be away from their mothers for such long periods of time. Again, I am NOT judging. I'm just wondering if this could be negatively affecting the psychological development of SOME of these children that are away from their mothers.

Personally, I am a ninny and am on the other end of the spectrum and rarely leave my babies until they are fully weaned around 2 years old, and trust me, I get lots of snickering from friends and family about that. Thus, I try my hardest not to judge other mothers and their breastfeeding, daycare, etc decisions.

So, I'm not judging,. I'm just looking at what is natural for a mammal, and wondering about extended long term daycare.

I think it could go both ways. Some might be too sheltered, and need interaction with children, in order to learn how to socialize. Do we know if BSL's mom stayed home with him or if he was in a daycare all day?

I hope all of my fellow Gulf Coasters in LA and beyond have heeded the evacuation warnings where encouraged. Please be safe, y'all!

I'm sorry, I had no idea I couldn't post that. Thank you for letting me know!

Can anyone speak to that please ?
Thanx.

YYCGIRL ~ BSL'S girlfriend IS doing "great" ..... she got away from him. May be shocked, devastated or even embarrassed, but still alive! Another word that comes to mind, is fortunate, blessed not to have become a victim herself !
 
I'm listening to a Louisiana radio station and praying you all stay safe and dry!
 
Hurricane prep in full swing.... wind starting up here in Lafayette - darn near the first wind all summer.

Stuff all over the yard from my many projects - have to put away as much as I can. Nailing up a missing 4-ft. length of soffet on the SW corner of the eaves that burned in the fire I had in Nov. - can't let the wind get in there and lift the roof. Not overly worried about wind here in Lafayette - just a deluge - maybe 24 hours non-stop. Finally got the tailgate installed on my old truck last night. Going to take the boat off the trailer in case the drain hole plugs with leaves, so that the weight of the water doesn't collapse the trailer. Everyone's going about their business calmly here in Lafayette - gassing up - checking the generator - shelves are empty of water. I have my own well of sweet clean water & a generator cord that runs it, so the horses won't go thirsty. Kerosene lanterns, rabbit ears and digital converter box for the TV, propane stove.... Spam recipes ready to go.

Most of us here in Lafayette probably won't even lose power. It's the flooding of the low-lying areas that may cause problems. I'm on a ridge at 25 feet above sea level. Ten miles south of me, Erath and Delcambre are at 2 feet. Lots of water coming.

Prayers for those in the way of the storm surge. This is life in south Louisiana

I hope that no one knows except them, when or where. As open to the public as they have been, they deserve total privacy. God bless 'em.
