Can anybody clear up whether BW & MS left Artmosphere in BW's car (if he has one) or were both on bikes? I'm seeing both versions.
Look at BW's instagram feed. Half of them are pics of MS and the other half, for some strange reason, are of food he's either eaten or about to eat. Food and MS. This guy I'm telling you is in love with this woman. Yes, they've been friends forever and "they're only friends" blah blah blah. Remember this fact of life so eloquently put by Harry in "When Harry Met Sally":
Harry: We could never be friends.
Sally: Why?
Harry: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
Sally: So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
Harry Burns: No. You pretty much want to nail them too.
I've been in the Friend Zone. Not a fun place to be. Maybe after all these years he made one more push to be de-friended and be be-boyfriended and got rejected.
This whole theory is blown out of the water if he's on the pink team.
Just my :twocents: - this case is a bit strange for three reasons IMO:
Seems there was a big delay in getting her reported missing and LE swinging into action. (Though traveling late at night, she and friend don't appear to have system to communicate she arrives home okay).
Seems with all the people around just after bar closing time, and all the surveillance cameras around, she should have been seen, but appears not to have been.
Finally, and to muck things up, there's a carnival rolling into town and setting up in proximity to her route.
BW has said that they biked back to his house and then drove to Taco Bell to get food. The thought here is that the Taco Bell lobby is closed that late at night and you can't go through the drive thru on bikes.

I-10 runs right through these States and also close to the Mexican border.

Texas firm now involved in Shunick search
Tim Miller, director of the nonprofit Texas Equusearch, is heading to Lafayette from Houston this afternoon to meet with law enforcement officials and members of Shunicks family.
I've seen comments regarding the routes she might have taken home, left on Parkside to meander through the Saints Street, area but after thinking about it I think it's possible she very well may have just headed right to Congress Street from Ryan (a matter of seconds from BW's house) and then turned left on Congress. This would have taken her straight down to her home at the other end of Congress. This is her most direct route, a major thoroughfare. I had a friend in the 80's who lived at 101 Ryan, across the street from BW (and I lived there with her for a few weeks). Even years ago, this was a dangerous area for a single female. My friend was raped at 101 Ryan in the middle of the day. I was always very leery when I was there and aware of my surroundings even before this happened. Directly across Congress is one of the worst areas in Lafayette.
If she did indeed start her route at Congress right near the intersection of Ryan it is my opinion that she would have been in immediate grave danger. The area across Congress is known as "The Block" (S.St. Antoine, Bienville, Royal, LaSalle streets), a heavily drug-infested area, street walkers all times of the day and night, very high crime, a decades-old ghetto) ...but if you get clear of it in a matter of minutes (once you cross University) you're in a much better area. Just my two cents .... but that's an area to be avoided at all costs.
BW said that she checked her mace and he told her to "stay safe" and then off she went at about 1:45AM. Did he state that he actually saw her go south on Parkside Drive (away from Congress) and toward St. Landry Street? Or did he make that assumption because that was her regular route?

If it is still like that today? I wonder how often she bikes from this friend's house? Have they come back more then one time and gone in the car to get something to eat? I know when I was in college i would do patterned things. If I went out with a certain friend we would always go to the 24hr diner to end the night. Someone near the friends house could have seen her come over several times before so when they dropped the bikes off and got into the car he probably knew she would be back for the bike. When she came back to head home on her bike he was ready. Not too sure of this scenario but I hope they are checking out his neighborhood thoroughly.
I've not heard that anyone is sure of the route she took. I do know that the route that's previously been discussed is a much more circuitous route ....and longer, quite a bit longer, with lots of twists and turns. If her goal to get home quickly (tired, not feeling well) outweighed her thoughts of safety by just a smidge, she would have directly taken Congress. It's just one long, smooth shot.
The risk assessment she did if she did take this route would have concluded, "Just a hop and a skip to University Ave and then I'm safe, and I've saved a lot of time."
