Between 1999 and 2012 is a heck of a long time for a guy like Lavergne to go without committing the same crime again. In criminological patterns it just doesn't sit right. 13 years? Hmmmm

Both men also agree on the biggest case to hit Lafayette during their tenure: the murder of Michaela Mickey Shunick and the hunt for her killer, Brandon Lavergne, who is serving two life sentences in the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola.
After Shunick disappeared in May 2012 and the days stretched into doubt that shed be found alive, investigators drew up a profile of a killer who was a serial offender.
We knew we were chasing one homicide, and the feelings were we knew theres more out there, Head said. We just need to get to this guy, take him down and find out where the rest of the bodies are.
After Lavergne was captured, he confessed to Shunicks murder and also to the murder of Lisa Pate in 1999.
Vincent said he and his detectives also believed there would be more victims linked to Lavergne. So far that has not happened.
In this particular case, we felt we would have, Vincent said. But nothing has surfaced that connects him.
