They said they've narrowed it down to an hour, and it is the hour when Mickey would have left BW's home and been heading back to her place.

Sorry I must have missed this but where is this information coming from? About there being video footage of a biker?
 
Great post, Bzarektah36. And I hate to say it, but I think you're right. As awful as it sounds, I so wanted it to be someone she knew. Because the alternative is even more awful: someone spending weeks or months following her around and getting to know her routine, then abducting her. That gives me chills. I could see something like that happening in New Orleans or even Baton Rouge, but Lafayette? Extremely scary :(

I'm not as surprised that it happened in Lafayette.....Trinesha Dene Colomb was one of Derrick Todd Lee's victims (the Baton Rouge serial killer who did not just limit his crimes to Baton Rouge) stalked Trinesha in & around Lafayette to her mom's gravesite in Lafayette/Scott and killed her.

Lafayette is linked to places where we typically think of stuff happening by the huge interstate running through it.
 
So there is video of someone going by on a bike....don't know if it's a girl or guy rider, poor quality of video. Plus the store time is off so they don't know exactly what time the rider passed the camera......

NOBODY IS SAYING WHERE THIS VIDEO WAS TAKEN! Aaarrrggghhhhhh....

what video?
 
I hope they can find out if it's her or not. I don't know whether to hope it is or not, either way she gone :/ - but atleast the LE and the searchers will have a starting point as I said.


OAN:
If you don't mind me asking where are you reading this? I'm reading on the "Find Mickey Shunick now" page..is there a different one?

Info coming from statements made on Nancy Grace.

Sorry I must have missed this but where is this information coming from? About there being video footage of a biker?

From Chief Craft. He said it on Nancy Grace, after shevasked him about it.

Can someone link me to where it says that BW's neighbors made statements about suspicious activity? I thought it was from residents further down her route, but I may be mixing up my stories.

I think it was from further down her route.

So more towards her house?
 
Hi everyone!

I encourage anyone that wants more info to watch Nancy Grace. If you missed it, it will replay one hour from now. So many of my questions were answered. If there's any doubt in your mind about BW, I think that there won't be after watching.

I agree! I had my doubts about him, but just after watching NG - I am convinced he had nothing to do with any of this.

This is all so heartbreaking.
 
what video?

Chief Craft spoke og it on NG. All we know is that a video camera caught a cyclist riding past. The video is of such poor quality that it is not known if it is Mickey or not. BUT we were told that the time og the video would be consistent with the time Mickey was biking home, AND it was taken at a store on her route home.
 
Here is a link to where it says neighbours filed police reports, several apparently.

Community Rallies Together to Search for Mickey Shunick
05/20/2012 11:52 PM by Chris Welty

While the search party was ongoing Sunday, several neighbors did file police reports with Lafayette Police, saying they did see suspicious activity in the area.
The Lafayette Police Department have launched a missing persons case.
If you're interested in joining the search for Mickey, family and friends are looking for volunteers.

I'm definitely not a NG fan but she is definitely on the side of BW. She did say he endured 16hrs of interrogation by LE. I agree that he's quirky as are most of the hipsters of the UL Lafayette area. Someone posted earlier that they felt his call to arms/social media post reminded them of the Kony2012 video and I agree. I think that was the point.

I'm sitting under my carport 15 miles away from where MS disappeared and I realize I am surrounded by sugar cane fields and a lake. This area is so close to lakes, bayous, swampland, rivers, fields, and woods. There is so many places that evil people can easily do evil things and no one would hear or see anything. Lafayette is located where I-10 and I-49 intersect. MS disappeared in an area that is literally 5minutes by vehicle to either of those Interstates. We are located less than an hour away from Baton Rouge. http://www.katc.com/mobile/news/baton-rouge-ranks-in-top-ten-cities-for-human-trafficking/
I wonder if LE has contacted organizations like Cajuns Against Trafficking for any insight or help? It is terrifying that she just vanished without a single trace of her.
 
If anyone wanted to post the NG show highlights when it's shown the second time around, no one would protest.
 
Also, per the Find Mickey FB page, they ask that Mickey's mom's number not be given out anymore, because the police are handling all of the tips now. Just an FYI!
 
Been gone most of the day and came home not long ago to start catching up on this thread. One thing I can say is how happy I am to see so many new members and posters here on Websleuths!!

During the Atlanta Braves baseball season, I am often required to give up my TV sleuthing and am relegated to watching the reruns late at night. I watch as much of the NG rerun as I can stand....then I go on to sleep and miss the last 45 minutes.

Praying for Mickey and her family. I am afraid the news will not be good.

I guess I'm too young to have really been hugely impacted by Derrick Todd Lee. I vaguely remember hearing bits and pieces in high school, but it's only been in the past few days that I've noticed his name come up a lot in relation to hypotheses about what could have happened to MS. Lafayette just feels like a safe, neighborly place. I lived in town for 4 years while I went to UL and never once really felt alarmed, and my wanderings definitely weren't limited to campus or well-lit areas. That said, of course something like this could happen anywhere.
 
I'm new here too, and also from Louisiana. After hearing that BW was questioned for 16 hrs, I feel like that's why his answers may have felt rehearsed. He had to repeat the story countless times to Mickey's friends, family, and the police. Being in my 20s myself, I agree that he looks like a artsy hipster guy. Not creepy, IMO.

Praying for Mickey's return. This story has definitely hit close to home.
 
First, the Percy Rd post was nothing, I think it turned out to be a brush fire or something? Sorry for posting without knowing more of the details.

Next, I think the locals on the board remember the woman from the Port Barre area that "vanished", and the boyfriend was all over the news pleading for her to come home, and turns out he killed her. If BW isn't a suspect and passed all the LDT, then why haven't the police cleared yet? Craft had his chance to clear BW on national tv, but he didn't and as far as I know he hasn't been cleared of anything, nor has he been charged with anything. I'm just saying that, the news reported that BW took a ldt and that was it. If the guy passed the ldt then I would think the local news would report that he passed and is no longer a POI? When that happens I'm sure quite a few people will not think he is hiding something, until then I believe in my heart there is something that doesn't add up with his story. Furthermore, can't the police look at BW movements after MS left his house by looking at cell phone records? I would think that might be a way to rule him in or out as well. If he was up all night and traveling to random areas at odd times or if he was home and his movements match what he is telling police?

The van thing is still bothersome to me, the fact that other people have info on a van matching the van I was talking about makes it a real possibility. Why isn't there an APB or AMBER ALERT or something about this van?

I don't think this was random, someone knew what they were doing, this was planned...
 
The only reason I would stop while riding my bike home at 2 am would be if the police or someone in a uniform/authority figure MADE me.

And the key word is 'MADE'!

When BR Serial Killer was on loose, I was working home health and often had to go out into sparsely populated back country areas. I asked state police what would happen if someone stood in the middle of the road and tried to stop me and I didn't stop, but ran them over. The police replied, 'nothing'.
 
Catching up... so, still no accurate sighting of MS on bike, or people saying they saw her.
Glad that BW is a good guy in this, so sorry for his ordeal!

Where does it leave us at this point... another beautiful young blond woman taken. It's amazing how much she looks like Holly Bobo (someone posted comparison photos back thread)...

This abduction can't be first offense by (s) who did it (odds are it was more than one)...
if just one, then even more experienced..
 
From NG (might not be accurate info):

Mickey last seen riding on her bike past Taco Bell while clutching her can of mace.
