This is the exact route many people think MS was taking.
Hey guys. I see some folks trying to work out Mickey's route (or intended route). I just wanted to point out a somewhat well-known shortcut through Blackham Coliseum. I used to drive through it all the time when I lived in that neighborhood. It connects to a brand new, well-lit and very pleasant bike path that runs along Cajundome Blvd.
What I "kind of see" is on OUR right, at the end of the car that's "nearest" us (I'm not sure if it's front or back of car, from pic), to the right of the pole. Looks like a person, maybe dressed in dark clothes, slightly bent over and with one arm bracing on the car. To the suspicious mind might look like someone hiding slightly from notice, but observing and ready to make a move.
The scenario that came to mind -- and then I'm going to bed, before I get laughed out of here, LOL -- is that IF that is a vehicle coming at Mickey from the other street, maybe it is a team -- someone on the ground to jostle or distract or grab, someone in a vehicle to harry and take and run -- and this was one attempt to close in on her.
When I was driving on Google Maps today I went down to explore that exact path - but the entrance on the right hand side had a closed gate and it was fenced all around.
I wonder if it is open and shut at regular times every day so that she could accessed that short cut that night.

Did you utilize this shortcut by yourself and at night all the time? People have suggested she did this regularly. I also agree with you that something happened around st landry - either the old Lourdes or the delivery area of the imaging center; both scary places to be in daylight.Once I saw that Mickey was on St. Landry, I immediately knew this was her route. I utilized this shortcut all the time. I must say that traveling on a bike past the desolate old Our Lady of Lourdes hospital would take courage. This is likely where it went down IMO.
This happened at greenroom several months ago. Group of guys, one smooth talker buys shots for some girls. Within 10 minutes the two girls were completed trashed. (heard this 2nd hand)
It appears to me that someone is standing there- but it could just be distortion. If the bank has an ATM there than that could explain why someone is there at that time. I think this is the photo used to decide she went up Versailles to St. John so this pic would have the speed limit sign there a d the bank on the right and school on the left. There is no parking in front of the school but surely they must allow parking for the ATM?

This attempt would have been unsuccessful at this place because MS made it to St Landry seemingly unscathed; not frantic looking. The two cars, if they were a team, could have had cell phone communication and met up later? I also am thinking more than one PERP here.What I "kind of see" is on OUR right, at the end of the car that's "nearest" us (I'm not sure if it's front or back of car, from pic), to the right of the pole.

Is greenroom that place on St Mary before you get to pinhook? What time is it open till at night? Would mickey have tried to go in there?This happened at greenroom several months ago.

Is the ATM on the street? A closer look shows the car to be just before the pole with the NO Parking sign and in front/ blocking a driveway in to the bank? Or is this a Find Mickey sign in the color pic?

I am also terrified. MY parents met and married at Wisdom in the 1960's. I moved after my maternal grandparents died (grandfather worked for butcher air conditioning when they were just putting a/c's in cars in the 1970's. I only recently moved back here 3 years ago; but it is "home' because of my early childhood memories and the fact my elderly parents live here now. I am also terrified. Terrified for anyone, male or female, that goes out alone in old run down hospitals and buildings in this area. I lived in Africa and hitchhiked there more safely than I walk around here. crazy....Mickey went to the Greenroom alot. I know her through some friends of mine who went to school with her from kindergarten to college. They say they couldn't think of anyone on the planet less deserving of this heinus crime. I'm terrified that it's happened so close to home... It's not the same riding down the streets, eerie and convoluded.
Oh yeah I know now. Greenroom is on Jefferson. What is that bar on st mary before you get to pinhook; they have music, great peanut butter cookies, teas. tables...would she go there?Total different direction. It's near the Jefferson underpass/ new AOC studios/ Rosa parks bus station.All bars in Lafayette close at 2 AM.
