First post. I have been lurking for about a week.
I was raised in Lafayette, but now live out of state. I still have friends and family there and visit when I can.
My best friend when I was in my teens lived in the Saint Streets area and we biked all around that part of town. In those days, the city government building was still the old Sears department store.
I hate to bring this up, but there is something that has been nagging me about the whole white truck discussion. I have not seen anyone else bring this up.
If I understand it, we have two photos of "Bed Cover" truck. The first on St. Landry at the traffic light waiting to make a left onto University Ave. The second of the truck heading north on University. We are to conclude that the truck entered St. Landry at some point east of the intersection then turned left on University. The blurry vehicle at the edge of the photo taken of the old sedan heading away from University could be this same truck approaching the intersection.
Here is my confusion:
In the police department news release concerning the photo of "Bed Cover" truck heading north on University, they say:
"The first truck (Picture 1) drove from the area that Mickey had traveled. It is evident from the new photo that the vehicle has a bed cover and tinted windows."
The truck drove from an area "that Mickey HAD traveled". I take that to me down streets on which Mickey had previously been. Would that not mean either Versailles Blvd or St. John St? If that is the case, the truck approached University from the St. John St. side. Not the St. Landry St. side.
Can somebody clear this up?
