It's not uncommon for a tailgate to be removed. Many can be easily stolen, or removed to pull a 5th wheel trailer...and some folks remove them because they think it creates less wind drag in the back which would improve gas mileage.

I would like to know how they know it's the same truck. It's possible that two different vehicles crossed paths. Especially with a common vehicle.
Dang, I wish I had a Chicken fried update for when you drop this post. I know it will be a good one, because I was alarmed too after riding St. Landry and observing.... That bike route makes total sense BTW. St. Landry, St. Julien, right on Johnston to Cajundome blvd, good work my friend.
Unfortunately, the cameras at WB do not record.

to comment on the prevalence of white trucks, i find it interesting that there's also a white truck with chrome bumper in one of the pics saints_streets posted. on the opposite side of the circle k.
ATTENTION - IMPORTANT
I got so sick of this debate about the white truck that I just called Lafayette PD. The white truck on St Landry, GOING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS IS THE SAME TRUCK. The truck on W University is the one that was eliminated.
The press release was poorly worded <modsnip>! Both pics on St Landrey are the same!
I informed them about the Facebook pic. Could be a coincidence but maybe not. At least they know, now, and can check it out.
the fact that this is the same truck makes it less suspicious for me now. If the driver isn't from the area, not only may he not know anyone is looking for him, but it is conceivable that he did not know that st. Landry does not continue through to a populated main street. According to the maps i've seen, it ends at coliseum not too far down, which is fairly dark and deserted (as described here). Being unfamiliar, he may have turned around and headed back up towards university. It is a main street and he would not want to get lost further. This would not take more than a few min. JMO
I just got back from a walkthrough of the Circle K to St. Louis St. area, t get the facts for myself, instead of reading them here second hand. I learned some very interesting and alarming things. I will be putting together a cmprehensive post, but it's going t take me some time. I want to put it together with some maps to try to end the confusion here, and upload some photos. It is a good amount of material, and will take awhile, and my right hand is not up to it at this moment.
I will post it all at once, hopefully tonight, maybe tomorrow A.M., so as to avoid confusion.
I will give y'all one thing now to discuss. I rode around with a security guard at the closed Our Lady of Lourdes hospital for half an hour, and the guard saw Mickey all the time and talked with her and knew her route. I will be calling the PI to make sure he has interviewed the guard.
The guard said that Mickey did not go all the way to Coliseum Rd. at the dead end of St. Landry. She said that Mickey turned left on St. Julien, right on Johnston, and right on Cajundome.
Maybe that information has been printed before, and maybe that's what her family has said - I honestly don't know and don't know where to find the link.
But a guard who saw Mickey says her route home included cutting over to Johnston St., using St. Julien St., because the guard used to see her turning left there after passing the hospital.
That's all for now, but I thought I'd give y'all that to start. The rest of what I found is outside the box, alarming, and, as a local, it makes sense. More on that later.

Now, if you blow this up (and it's a poor photo) it looks like it has a tool box below the back window. I noticed that right away because I thought about Lacy Peterson. I may be way wrong on that because of the poor quality but it interests me considering the FB pic.

It is my understanding, & I may be wrong: sonar & wood don't mix
I'm with you here. Not sure who they need to get straight - the person Artis spoke with on the phone or the press release/website/media relations people. On their own website it lists the truck going left as the 'newer model' that was ruled out. Can't be that important to find if that's the case.

There's no way to tell because of the poor quality. Someone at a professional level, like the FBI, may be able to.
Very true - we go to Lafayette all the time and often are out late when we do visit friends. We live an hour away - and not everyone where I am is aware of the truck and all...most have probably at least heard a girl is missing from Laffy.
is it the truck they cleared or a different one you are talking about? Link by chance....i don't remember seeing that or where to even look lol? TY![]()
