I have been trying to post this without being completely disgusting or allowing my mind to go somewhere I don't want it to go, but frankly I can't figure out how. Depending on the time of year and type of animals someone might be hunting, especially anything that'd fit in a large sink, a motel laundry room could be pretty bloody and not suspicious. This has worried me about the area from the beginning.
This I totally can relate to. It is a place I really do not want to go to.
Also it has been a record year for bears. I think the last time I looked it was over 100 either hit or sighted. Forget which one now. It was not yet hunting season IIRC, but often hunters will go out to scope the area.
I think the number of RSO is concerning and I have not even added the ones from New Mexico, which for an area like that would not be considered a long drive.
Much like the Mickey Shunick case, many utilize a number of different LE jurisdictions. I believe the final tally was 8 for Brandon Lavergne.
He went to New Orleans for the knife wounds, was seen by both New Orleans LE and SO.
Bike found in a different jurisdiction.
Burned his truck in Texas, and his half bio sister even picked him up afterwards.
Concerned citizen makes 2 phone calls to LE and he still is not on their radar.
Has meeting with probation officer on the 28th, wounds and all and does not worry probation officer.
Whites out his sex offender status on DL, and person calls LE.
Finally, Brandon Lavergne is on their radar.
Then he is finally picked up, and charged with another murder from 1999.
