Well, he obviously had a penchant for fires. Part of his MO if you will. Also, when you're a RSO, you have to report your vehicles. He may have wanted to keep the same type of truck so that he could try to dupe the system into thinking it was the same white truck. If he had to say, well, my other white truck was stolen and found burned when he pulled up in a purple truck, then that would have raised some major red flags for them, wouldn't you think?

i think he thought that the girlfriend would be only one to notice and she wanted to believe all of his lies because she loved him, so i'm sure he fed her a bunch of lies and she believed. she believed that he was wrongly accused of the 2000 sexual assault. obviously, she didn't care that he got a new truck because she didn't turn his butt in!!!:notgood:

That's what I was thinking too. So, if this white house is the one that burned down, wouldn't that cabinet have been destroyed, assuming the cabinet was in the home at the time of the fire?

The pic on his mom's fb page with the cabinet in it definitely looked like it was taken inside of a mobile home.

Were the pics with his mom in a dated album. Supposedly his home burned down about a year ago.

I'm not saying he should have gone with purple lol. Just saying he wasn't going to pull the wool over anyone's eyes who knew him. Yeah, maybe the same make/model for the RSO records, but anyone close to him would KNOW it was NOT the same truck. Did he think he was being slick? Or did he think all the people who knew him closely--(who, keep in mind, knew he was an RSO)--would buy the story about it being stolen being the reason for the new one? IMO he would have done better keeping the old one and taking his chances trying to clean it up/make repairs to it, than driving up in a brand new one.


i thought he got the exact same one so no one would notice that he got a new truck. i'm thinking that he thought if they come to search my truck since my truck is all over the news, then they won't find anything in a brand new truck and i'll be cleared.

if not for that reason then to not raise any questions from those that knew him as a sex offender. it's possible that he may have kept the license from the old truck and put it on his new truck to make it seem like he was driving the same truck

First BBM: that's what I'm saying. Did he really think they would never notice it wasn't the same truck? Second BBM: good point there! A temp tag would be the first thing you'd notice...so maybe he did take the plate off before burning the old one. Do we know how they traced the burnt truck to him? Did they say plate or VIN?

We didn't say they won't show a picture with a crime being committed. We say they won't show a picture with a crime being committed without telling the public that one is being done so in the picture. It would be disrespectful to the family to release a picture of their daughter being ran over by a truck if they are simply just looking for the DWT. At the time they just said it was a VOI to talk to. If it was obvious as you guys are saying, which it should be since police have much more sophisticated technology than we have, then they would see it to and that DWT would not have been a VOI, it would have been a perp from day one and i'm sure BSL would have been found out much sooner. But seriously even after releasing info that she was taken further away from the Circle K people still believe she was taken in front of Circle K so I guess even info from LE won't clear up the DWT photos.

I completely agree w/ you. Why, when they have stated that they have evidence of him cruising the streets, would they release one w/ MS under the truck?! That would be ignorant and they could of arrested him in June when the tip came in it was BSL. They would of known of a hit-n-run. Notice....he was NOT charged w/ a hit-n-run (or anything w/ the vehicle for that matter). If MS was under the truck there would of been rampant rumors of a girl screaming, crunching noises, etc etc. I've ran over a bike before going 2 miles an hour....YOU WOULD HEAR IT! Windows up, radio on...you would hear it. With cajunnet around here....you would of heard rumors about it, AT LEAST!

I think IMO the ones thinking she was under the truck in that circle k picture can't let go of the fact that they were wrong and their super computer specs didn't do what they wanted them too :-/ JMO of course

The tone of this forumn has changed from positive, to snarky, to just down right ignorant at times. It's sad and hardly anyone is even talking about BRINGING MICKEY HOME...which is the point afterall!

What are the rules for RSO to report changes? What is the legal time grace period? If the new truck was acquired June 4th, the day he returned the rental car, he may not have been in violation of any reporting rules for 30 days. Would fit the timeline nicely.

Don't know if this applies, but one of the first things an arson investigator does in a house fire investigation is to check to see if sentimental or personal items were removed before the fire. These items include family portraits, furniture, etc..

If Mickey was on video at 1:48 at circle K and traveling at 12 MPH ( 1 mile per 5 mins) at 1:50 she would have traveled about 0.4 miles putting her in front of the old OLOL between St. Patrick & St Joseph. If BSL was on video at circkle K at 1:49 and he was driving 30MPH (1 mile per 2 minutes) at 1:50 he would have driven approximately 0.5 miles putting him just past Mickey across from the hospital.

I believe this is about where he abducted her. It was dark there, no-one was at the dimly lit hospital or across the street at the closed medical offices and people don't usually drive down that part of the street unless they live back in there. This is in very close proximity to the below street level drive in ER entrance to the hospital which is next to a large parking lot and huge empty field.
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.

Thanks 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.

http://www.latax.state.la.us/Menu_P...ewtaxroll-2012070912292519003030602986075.pdf

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

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

There was crime scene tape put up in an area. The dogs hit on Mickey's scent on each side of the foot bridge near the printing services building on the campus. Now you can take this as my opinion as I do not have a link. Right there by that coulee.

Y'all like to disagree but my opinion is that Mickey was knocked off her bicycle and she ran down to that area or he grabbed her there after she was off the bike and took her down that a way and there was a struggle. She was there somehow. Maybe he carried her over that bridge. We do not know.

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?

i totally agree!! can we get back on topic! let's drop the things that don't matter and bring mickey home!

If LE knew for sure where she was hit and especially if she went under the truck, wouldn't there have been a crime scene set up?

I am now wondering if they do in fact have her on video being hit...they are being vague about where they believe she was "taken"-so either they do not know, or are just keeping it quiet, although not sure what the reason would be at this point.

I don't think she went under that truck. Now maybe she bounced onto and off it. I do think the bike was hit here and there are many reasons I think it, none of which I can prove. The police rarely tell the public exactly where someone was actually kidnapped. The Sierra Lamar case is a perfect example. This case has shared many similarities.

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.

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..."

makes perfect sense. Movement = distance traveled. I think people forget this when they see still pics. We have seen BSL isn't the brightest. But I think you'd have to be mentally handicapped and REALLY lucky to get away with hitting someone on a pic, struggling, and forcing someone in your car in a public place. It would have to be a deserted area for their to be no witnesses and this sounds like a perfect spot for this creep. Also the locals said the police had taped off areas around this location during their initial investigations.

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 I am not trying to be snarky, but being an RSØ doesn't mean you can't rent a car.
 
  • #639
does anyone know how the family is doing? does anyone know if they've started searches again? can anyone guess how long we have to wait for a trial?

as to the cabinets in the pic with his mom. maybe the pic is at his mom's house.

Someone here (Island Hopper maybe?) found a Rayne address for BSL the other day.
