The lasik clinic has a camera pointing towards its parking lot. Wonder if it has others.

When you say the "gutter," do you mean the Coulee (big drainage ditch)? There's nothing visible, I assume?
When we were out searching during the day we looked in them all but it was hard to see without flashlights. No odor that we noticed though.
Just my :twocents:, y'all don't hang me for it! But reading the previous comments about seeing someone in the back of the truck, I was extremely skeptical. However, after just a little playing with the contrast and midtones in the photo, I can see what several of you were talking about. It really does look very much like someone sitting with her feet on the rear bumper, and the "legs" appear to be flesh-colored. I'm not committing myself to that opinion though; it could very well be the glare or an optical illusion, or just wishful thinking.
By the way, I am so SO impressed with this community and how generally respectful you are of others' opinions. There isn't any of the spatting I'm seeing on Facebook. Kudos, Websleuths!
I just got answer. Was on my usual route and there is a foul smell from the gutters there (St. Louis and St. Landry). So called it in as a tip. I was not the only one there reacting to the odor.
Maybe not enough time had passed for an odor to be prominent? (I hate typing this.)
And that area has surely been searched? From Day 1? You think?
OMG! is that one of those metal drain things on the side of the street? How could someone get a person in there?
Oh really? Weird. Well it stinks today. I can still smell it.
It has been really hot here lately, so I *think* the odor would have been present sooner but you never know.
I'm really praying it's an animal.....
I know they searched the hospital and garage extensively earlier this week (Tuesday, maybe?), but it's hard to say how thoroughly they searched the coulee or the drainage system. At that point, they were still running on the assumption that she had ridden home on Congress or possibly Souvenir Gate, from what I can piece together based on the facebook page.
The coulee runs underground right at that spot, doesn't it? Into the drainage system? I don't know how possible it is to actually get into the underground space there; I don't know whether there's a big pipe or a grate or what at that spot; it's not really visible from the road unless you look, I think.
She is so tiny, but I still don't think she'd fight thru right there. Those gutters lead to the big culverts, though.
It hasn't rained here since right after Mickey went missing, has it?
I guess if she entered at a culvert, she could have drifted there. But, God, I hope not.
One of the Bike Lafayette guys rode thru the culvert/coulees very early on. Don't know if LE has searched, but I would hope so. The cyclist didn't report finding anything, but the pipes wouldve been narrower at a gutter.
Look at the pic again. Focus on the very end of the bed, next to the passenger brake light side. Looks like someone sitting, with feet on fender or floor, knees drawn up with arms wrapped around knees. Zoom a little it helps.
