That's the $64,000 question.
What did they have in '08 in the Pate grand jury, and what added piece in '12 changes it from murder two to murder one?
Had to have been in BSL's home. I can't draw any other reasonable conclusion, unless the D.A. thinks that proving the Shunick case will establish that he's a killer, adding enough guilt to make the Pate charge stick this time.
Where as it clearly stated? Why you'll you, a local, take Devalcourt? You are attacking & abducting a young woman who is fighting for her life. You are from a small town near Lafayette. You do not have the native's familiarity w/ the streets. You're in a panic. Are you thinking...let me see, what's the most tortuous route to Swords? Aaah, Cajundome to Devalcourt, behind the LSU hospital, before, what's that, the Abdalla building, it's dark, can I see the street sign? Ok, cajundome to Devalcourt to Bertrand to I-10 to??? Right to I-49 or continue down past I-10 to the dead end T?? Why go to Bertrand when University is a more direct route for a person just attacking & abducting a victim when the perp lives in Swords?
Who ever said the pic was from the Advertiser cameras? IMO I don't see that as a route a panicked perp would take.
Just a couple of random things I've been wondering about that aren't exactly tied to anything in particular. I've been playing catch up as well as reading older threads to compare what we knew then and now with what has been said by LE and others. Not particularly helpful, but definitely interesting, ya know?
Anyway, I saw mention of MS having a box cutter in her possession. Has that ever been verified? I could have sworn I read BW disputing that, that he didn't know of anything like that being carried by her. Is this one of those things that started as rumor and "became" truth?
Also, I was thinking about the videos that slowlybutshelley and I made back at the end of May of Mickey's possible routes, and how that relates to the video that the Daily Advertiser had. I saw someone ask how BSL could have gotten from St Landry Street to Bertrand (in front of the DA office) and from there to the Interstate, and it got me thinking that I inadvertently may have driven the same route -- from the St Landry Street extension to Coliseum Blvd to Souvenir Gate Rd to Cajundome Blvd to West Congress Street to Bertrand. I just rewatched the second video to make sure I was remembering the drive right. It also led me to thinking about the fact that I can't remember if LE narrowed down the area that whatever happened happened in -- I was thinking it was the area between Dean Street and Coliseum Road, where there's very little light, but is that wishful thinking on my part?
I know, I know, this is old old stuff that no one is probably interested in reading, so sorry. It was just something that was nibbling at the back of my mind, though.
I disagree CF. I don't remember it clearly being stated by LE that the pic was from the Advertiser, & not from a business on University. Remember the time stamp on the pic??
Maybe she had been holding back some info???That's the $64,000 question.

Don't ever post when you're tired. Spelling & syntax.

He would have been the most stupid criminal ever if he drove his truck to Texas to torch it, and didnt bother to remove the license plate first. JMO
Someone asked earlier how we know that BSL's finger was injured. The Independent article has been shared, but also Someguy posted that BSL's finger was almost cut off days before we saw the news report.
Yes...the still was time stamped @ 0300 +- don't know how many minutes.The published stills are not from the Advertiser. LPD stated they picked up 3.5 hours of video the day of the arrest. Nothing from the advertiser video has been released. Yet. They're high & angle down right?
It is not necessarily anyone related to the hospital. That would violate HIPAA regulations
Could be hotel workers, say front desk, maid ,landscaper, waitress or pool man. (for instance) FWIW.

Dont know what happened to stills, but the Devalcourt route makes no sense if you're in a panic & not familiar w/ Lafayette streets. Devalcourt is not a regular route. BSL is from Swords, not Lafayette. I didn't even think the route made sense. I asked my hubs, a native, about it & he said 'huh?? Why take Devalcourt?' So I'm asking, why??
Why not Congress or Eraste Landry to University?? I've just never understood that route, & I don't remember anyone stating that the still was positively from the Advertiser. Even the parking lot looks different..jmo

They probably found the plate when they searched his home.
ohhhhh. :crazy:
i was thinking that txlam worked at the Texas hospital and was saying that his story there was different than the got knifed in NOLA at an unknown gas station in an unknown location - the story at Ochsner. so he or she was saying that his story was different at different places - not necessarily just the hospitals?
i wonder if he put the plate on his new truck to make his new truck seem like his old truck. this way, he wouldn't have had to tell LE at his next RSO check in that he purchased a new vehicle.
i also think he wanted LE to think the new truck was the same white truck so that if they ever searched it, they wouldn't find any evidence of Mickey and it would clear him.
in the media at that time, LE was only looking for that white truck, so he thought that if they ever linked that picture to him, they would simply search his truck and he could say, you see there's nothing in there.
:woohoo: I AGREE. this way, he wouldn't have had to tell LE at his next RSO check in that he purchased a new vehicle.i wonder if he put the plate on his new truck to make his new truck seem like his old truck
:woohoo: I AGREE!!!!
