Thnks so much for that link. :) I was able to look up tax records for the address he is reported to live at, and it seems that Tax Payer information for that address actually is to someone (name is not listed on the document) with a Rayne Address. I'm not sure if this link will work, but here is the tax document it output for me when inquiring. If the link below doesn't work then you can use the link in the quote above to look up his address.

Just wondering if this address in Rayne has been looked into and if it could be another place to look for possible evidence?

BSL's mother lives in Rayne, it is possibly her home.

One more thing -- and I swear I'm NOT picking on you, Kelly, because I've seen this said plenty of times.

I'm curious about the source of this information. IIRC, and I could totally be wrong, it was BW in a television interview not long after she went missing. That he was basically saying that she wasn't drinking that night because she wasn't feeling well.

I'm just wondering if his comment about her not drinking (and again, I could be remembering this wrong) has grown legs of its own and morphed into the possibility of her being sick.

It had been stated that she was hungover and this is why she did not drink that night.

Can someone fill me in on who and when statement was made about the scratches and bandage or cast on hand. Thnx.

a reporter at the Presser asked Craft if he had a bite mark on his hand. Craft said something along the lines of not going to comment at this time. not a yes and not a no.

then the car deal lady said he had scratches all over his arms.

That's his mom's address.

it was asked by reporters about bite marks and avoided by LE.

It's not on KATC.com's verbatim of the press conference, but I did hear it with my own two ears :) I'll look on finding the transcript!!

Here is the transcript from the press conference w/ verbatim b/c of the reporters questions:

Yes, we know that the burned truck was registered to him.

I think he should have definitely gone with purple, BTW. :floorlaugh: All kidding aside, I just chose an outrageous color to exemplify that he may have been trying to avoid having to disclose that he got a new truck if it was very similar to his new one when he went to do his annual RSO check in.

I do see your point, however. Just trying to think of what he could have been thinking. I don't think this guy has a genius level IQ or anything.

Yeah, I know that. But I was asking if we know HOW they traced the truck to him. If it had a plate, or he had removed the plate to put on his new truck. Was it ever said if they traced the plate, or had to look it up by VIN?

I will go back and look in the first few threads. IIRC there was another family member who said she was not feeling well the day before. I will see what I can find.

And I understand what you are saying about the bike and presser. I just can't fathom there would be nothing left behind, no glass from the headlights, lights on her bike, nothing. It just doesn't make sense there is nothing. I went back and viewed BayoBecky's video's of the routes and it doesn't appear that the streets on any route she possible took were dirty or lots of trash. Its just one the unanswered questions.

And I have been intently reading everyone's theories about her being hit, speed he may have had to be going, how she possibly could have hit the truck etc. I have no personal experience with bike/auto accidents but it seems logical that something like a truck weighing a ton would hit a bike would cause massive damage to the bike and leave something behind. I just have hard time wrapping my head around it.

Kelly

***EDITED TO ADD The presser released said the damage would trigger the assumption she was hit from behind, however they could not say that definitively barring further tests. For some reason I can not post the link here but it is on findymickeynow.com site. I did not locate anything saying the tests were back and it was conclusive, do you have a link for updates?

You are correct it is not an absolute. Things have been known to change once forensics are final.

What is your source for the dog info? First I've heard of it and it's interesting. You're being very specific, and so this must not be your opinion - you are operating off of a source.... can you give us more info on what that source is?

The printing services building is quite a long way from the hospital, if it's the one I'm thinking of... all the way across Johnston. Are you saying that she rode down that far, or did she run about 4 long blocks? I'm thinking of the printing service near St. Mary and Rex (on campus) - do I have the location right?

First I've ever heard of her scent being picked up by the printing services building, too. I don't think CajunStrong was talking about a printing/copying place. Check out page 2 of this map. http://louisiana.edu/AboutUs/CampusMap.pdf Off of Colleseum, before you get to Sorority Row, there is a printing services place for the University. Very desolate and quiet out there at night. I think it would be too far for her to run, especially without witnesses. If her scent was picked up on there, however, it could be that she was abducted between St. Mary and Blackham and then the assault took place at the printing services building after she had been picked up.

I was just thinking about Mickey this afternoon and wondered if her body has been located yet?

Yeah, I know that. But I was asking if we know HOW they traced the truck to him. If it had a plate, or he had removed the plate to put on his new truck. Was it ever said if they traced the plate, or had to look it up by VIN?

He reported it stolen to his insurance company and/or police. They must have used database searches and found that it was in Texas and was burned. Vehicles have more than one place where the VIN is - it is rare that the VIN would be unreadable.

I see there is still discussion of Mickey being hit at the Circle K. Physics aside, I just listened again to Chief Craft in the press-conference Q & A say that Mickey was taken somewhere between "St. Landry & St. Mary and Blackham Coliseum." It is obvious that he was describing "Point A" and "Point B," not naming three points. He paused between "St. Landry" and "St. Mary" to recollect St. Mary as the cross-street. He was using the first two street names to describe one specific point - an intersection. Were he trying to describe three separate points, and not be naming an intersection, he would not use the word, "between;" he would use language like, "somewhere along." St. Landry and St. Mary are perpendicular. One would not use the word, "between," to describe their spatial relationship.

Those here who keep saying that we don't know that Mickey wasn't hit at the Circle K, to keep alive - I suppose - the idea that the picture shows that, should listen to the chief again.

If she was taken between the intersection of St. Landry and St. Mary (Point A), and Blackham Coliseum (Point B), then she could not have been hit at Circle K in my thinking. If she were hit at Circle K, is the thinking that after her bike was crushed she outran a truck, on foot, all the way down to past the hospital? I can't believe that.

Sure, the picture has some anomalies. But Chief Craft told us in the press conference where the abduction happened, and it wasn't across from the Circle K.

Listen to the Q & A for yourself. Click part 4 of the audio.

Respectfully, if our good Chief knew exactly where she was taken there would only be one location.

There is a footbridge over the coulee directly behind that Printing Services building on Coliseum Road. Are there any outdoor security cameras on that building?

why isn't it right? He went to jail, he did his time...he has to register his address? why couldn't he rent a car? that just doesn't make sense

Yeah, he did his time (not enough time) but, just b/c he's out doesn't mean he's scott-free. He has to have his address registered, has to notify his neighbors, and his vehicles have to be listed in his RSO info for obvious reasons--b/c he is STILL a threat to society. So, if he wants to get around that he can just go and get a rental car. Not right IMO. Do they have to get special permission before hand? When an RSO turns over their license to get a rental car, do the powers-that-be get automatically notified? They should...I hope so. But even still, they could just use a fake ID to get a rental car and no one would be the wiser.
 
  • #654
I wonder. And for that matter, it doesn't seem right than an RSO just can up and get a rental car. "Oh, they know I drive a 99 Chevy Avalanche? I feel like renting a little red sports car for some fun this weekend..."

You know, that's probably why RSO's driver's licenses are noted as such. Perhaps an automatic notification, an extra step in the rental process required when seen. Or handled automatic, when the number is entered by the DMV. Where's our rental car agency helper?
And again, probably when he acquired the new vehicle, an automatic update to the RSO registry from the state vehicle agency. ? All guesses.

A thought just popped in my head and I hope I am not duplicating something.

Remember when the pictures of the DWT were released. Didn't LE or the family say the photo was of a similar truck, not necessarily the truck in the photo. Does anyone know when this was? Maybe they already knew BSL had disposed of the first truck.

I don't know this to be fact but I have heard this in many circles. I do know as fact that this truck was always known to be involved. That exact wording is used in early articles that can be viewed in the media page. That indicates to me that whatever happened to our girl was seem on video early on whether it be here on on furthe down St. Landry as y'all have suggested.

The doubtful charge would be kidnapping in that scenario. Muder 1 would still be a go if it was deemed intentional.

if that is the case then we all would have to ignore his past sexual abuse history.

Seems, the Girl friend would believe/rationalize, whatever BSL convincingly told her..
Chances are good that the person doing the RSO check may never see his vehicle. Many RSO's may be driving a loaner car from a friend or relative.

IMO, the new identical truck could have been aged by a quick drive through the woods on a logging road and was purchased by BSL to prevent suspicion by friends & neighbors, etc...as well as a poor attempt at a ruse should LE come knocking on his door.

Many sexul predators past were of low or average intelligence. Gary Ridgeway's IQ was low 80s, yet thought by the green river task force to be idiot savant. He evaded arrest for 2+decades & 70+ innocent victims..

Sexual predators/serial killers simply hone their skills with each successful abduction and innocent victim devoured...

Wasn't it rented through his insurance claim on the burned vehicle? So no fake ID and I see no reason they can't rent a vehicle, just think the notifications from his driver's license have to be automatic.

Yeah, I get that he reported it stolen. My specific question was whether they traced the truck to him via PLATE or via VIN. Wondering if we knew, b/c someone suggested he possibly had kept the plate, and put it on his new truck.

Not necessarily, he may not be releasing that information as it may be pertinent to the investigation.
