When going offshore they usually carry a Durrell ag and tools they are using, sometimes a laptop/briefcase.
I have wondered if he may have brought her offshore and thrown her overboard but the smell would have been bad. Also, they have weight limits when flying out on the helicopters. Now if he took a boat he wouldn't have he weight limit. I don't see him chancing bringing a body offshore. Maybe some evidence. Otherwise there is too much risk.
I can imagine him tying her up, dropping the bike in WB, driving to some secluded area on the way to Venice (maybe even a little
Motel) and doing his thing, then driving back to NO for the ER.

bessie, I agree, I do not think he drove Mickey to NOLA.. I think his visit there was his smoke screen.
He had about 21 hours from the time she was abducted to when he showed up at the ER for his "wounds"... so minus about 3 hours of driving there to the hospital an hour for driving up to WBB and near his home we are at 17 hours.
17 hours where this "seasoned" perp was doing whatever he could to dispose of anything that related him to the crime. Again, I don't think this guy will crap in his own sandbox but I also think that he would visit places known to him but most likely not around his own home. I wonder if he has ties to any other states or locations. I think a geographical profiler would help in finding Mickey at this point. I would also interview all that worked with him offshore... like what did he bring on board (large suitcases etc) that he never left with? Just a thought.
