My thoughts and prayers are going out to all you fine people in LA right now! Batten down the hatches and stay safe!

I think I understand what you are saying, CF. From what we have learned it appears that, while BSL's motive more than likely was to sexually assault Mickey, she was able to fight him off and keep that from happening, sadly losing her life in that fight. She was not meek and intimidated by him...

Yes you did say you were grateful. I guess what struck me is that several of your posts read like "I am grateful, BUT...", "she was key, BUT...". Of course that is not word for word, and i certainly am not trying to offend anyone here. I just personally feel that the big picture is more...

live stream is up on KATC!!

My deepest sympathies to the Shunick family and friends. I have followed this story since the beginning, and continue to be amazed at the amount of support and general caring that the community has shown. I have never visited LA before, but I can now say that southern LA will be next...

He was charged with aggravated kidnapping because LE believes that Mickey is deceased, not just being held somewhere.

I agree. People close to him may have seen him for what he is, but chose to turn a blind eye, instead making "excuses" for his behavior...ie: adopted, loner, bullied, etc.

How prevalent were DNA testing/databases in 1999? Is it possible that at the time DNA was not available to charge him, but in this day and age it is???

You would think so, but I have never presented a DL at a car dealership until i was sitting at a desk making a deal. Car dealerships must be the only place left that don't ask for legal ID the minute you walk in the door!!

One of the commenters mentioned the Coast Guard base at Oregon Inlet, that is the large building that you see in the background. He appears to be fairly close to the entrance of the beach, and he is sitting right in front of dunes that lead to a campground. I would say he parked at the...

Also, a lot of people tend to say Nags Head as a general term/name for the OBX. It's one of the most recognized towns, one of the most populated. More people from out of the area seem to know Nags Head, but not Salvo, or Waves, or Southern Shores which are smaller, lesser known beach towns...

I don't know much about how K-9 searches work, but can they pick up a scent if it's been raining? It has rained nearly every day since July 8, with some heavy thunderstorms. Would her scent still be able to be picked up? Perhaps that is why they aren't using dogs today. Also, there is not...

Actually, the OBX is approximately 200 miles long, with most of the area having a width greater than a mile. Your link and stats are for Pea Island, which is just a portion of NC-12 through Cape Hatteras. Nags Head is north of Pea Island, on a much wider part of the island. And even though...

Right, and Fourth of July is the busiest week of the year. TONS of vacationers here, which is why people may not remember them. When you see thousands of faces a week, it takes a lot to make you remember one.

I live in the area, and I could be wrong but that looks like it was taken on the Manteo waterfront. So was the last place she was seen in Nags Head, Salvo or Manteo?? All three towns are fairly close, but there is still a lot of area to cover between the three.
