LA - ***ARREST*** Mickey Shunick, 21, Lafayette, 19 May 2012 #39

[northxnorthwest]

Just a quick question - aren't RSO not supposed to have any social media/networking? I feel like I read that somewhere. How does LE monitor that? Does LinkedIn and MyLife count? I don't know much about MyLife but the fact that you have to pay makes it seem like a site for finding "dates". Ugh! What a creep! I hate him! Especially his profiles are clearly "enhanced".

I wish RSOs had to have SEX OFFENDER tattooed in bright red ink on their foreheads!

 

[aviatrix]

I believe the dates he was in prison are irrelevant. I also found it interesting that the label that is on the hard hat in the photo shown of him is I THINK the same label that was on that white truck on the silver service box. That kept me up many a night and I am glad I finally got that resolved. I think he killed Teresa Gilcrease. I think someone in L/E had an inkling about his nefarious activities and thus created a cover letter saying what a wonderful person he was for CYA- (cover your arse) if he really did what was suspected. That -- or he had nefarious L/E connections because of the small town he was from and his relatives jobs, etc.

I really have to hand it to the citizens of Lafayette and CP. With the internet and other tracking technology and the compassion and concern of the population who finally has something to help them clean up this type of cesspool -- people like BSL will be put behind bars forever like they should be. The dominoes will fall and the world will be a better place. Thanks Mickey. You were the cornerstone and turning point for many families to be able to live a better life. It has been a pleasure writing with you folks.


I think SOWELA community college is fictitious -- but it may be something like Southwestern Louisiana college -- which I have never heard of but hey -- mebee it's new....

If it turns out BSL was out committing all these crimes while he was supposed to be locked up, it is going to mean less freedom for all convicts -- good behavior or not. So when they are actually locked up each day rather than being on work release, etc. they have BSL To thank for that. If it does turn out that he was supposed to be locked up but instead was out killing and raping folks -- those victims families should hire an attorney and find out just exactly the process that allowed a sex offender to be on work release (which I have said all along was the case).

I have not said anything for about three or four pages now, hoping someone else would, but when BSL was first arrested and we all started sleuthing him, it quickly became apparent that there is another Brandon Lavergne that lives somewhere in that immediate area, and he was getting bombed with nasty posts. I remember the mods here warning us to be careful that we had the right one, and many posts were removed. I fear that this Linkd In page may very well belong to THAT Brandon Lavergne and not the BSL that is in jail...JMO, FWIW

I apologize if this has been cleared up already...

This is the correct LinkedIn page for Brandon. It was posted many threads ago when his name was first released.

And it is my guess he fibbed some on here. There is nothing about him that leads me to believe he was 100% truthful with dates or places of employment.

 

[CajunStrong]

Does anyone on here have a MyLife account? It requires you pay to see the full of the profile.

I do. I looked at it several threads back when someone posted that picture of him. There is nothing there that you can't see with a free account.

 

[CajunA]

That is very disturbing to me. Something had to have been under there that caused some kind of damage to the original skirting. I can't see him just deciding to change it with all the injuries and poison ivy he would have had at that time if there wasn't an immediate need.

Well I know from experience that weed eaters and lawn mowers tare the skirting on trailers big time and make it look tacky. And also pipes under trailers tend to leak or break more often than not. So him replacing old skirting seems normal to me.

 

[bessie]

I'm not sure, but I think that there can be varying degrees of parole-like situations. Not really a parole but transferred to correctional centers with programs that are focused on making a transition into the community. The parole board can make all kinds of recommendations.

The earliest version of this statute that I could find quickly is 2006.

La. RS 15:1111 Work Release Program

A. The Louisiana Department of Institutions is hereby authorized to establish and administer a work release program for inmates of any institution under the jurisdiction of the department.

B. The department shall establish rules for the administration of the work release program and shall determine those inmates who may participate in the release program. Any convict sentenced to imprisonment at hard labor shall be eligible at any time during his sentence to participate in the work release program, subject to the provisions of this Part....

I.(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection B above or any other law to the contrary, any inmate who has been convicted of first degree murder (R.S. 14:30), second degree murder (R.S. 14:30.1), aggravated rape (R.S. 14:42), attempted aggravated rape (R.S. 14:27 and 42), forcible rape (R.S. 14:42.1), aggravated kidnapping (R.S. 14:44), aggravated arson (R.S. 14:51), armed robbery (R.S. 14:64), attempted murder (R.S. 14:27 and 29), attempted armed robbery (R.S. 14:27 and 64), producing, manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing or possession with intent to produce, manufacture, distribute, or dispense a controlled dangerous substance classified in Schedule I or Schedule II of R.S. 40:964, and persons sentenced as habitual offenders under R.S. 15:529.1 shall be prohibited from participation in the work release program except during the last six months of their terms.

Aggravated sexual battery is not listed above. There's a lot more at the link. The statute has been revised twice since 2006.

I'm not sure that Avoyelles Men's CC had a work release program in 2006-08, though.

[WhatsupAZ]

I just spent time google-ing different local sherrifs, community leaders, chiefs of police, mayors, etc in all of the towns and parishes mentioned in threads. Wow... I thought OUR Sherriff Joe and gang was bad! I cannot believe how much corruption is going on!

I spent 20 minutes trying to link then realized that it might be totally unimportant anyways...delete this if we need to but in EUNICETODAY.COM there are several articles about the aveyelles sherriff getting into trouble for a money scam involving jail inmates. Important to me because it shows that while bsl was incarcerated there, the guy in charge had lose morals and major disregaurd for the law.

Did things his own way.

Can you tell if that hard hat is from a specific place? Which might help us to date it?

 

[aviatrix]

I think he used a box cutter to cut those grips off those handlebars and that is the same boxcutter that he sliced his hands up with. Who had control of the boxcutter is an interesting question. Why would he cut the grips off the handlebars? Probably because he grabbed the handlebars at some point and he was trying to remove his DNA/prints. Any other ideas why he would remove the grips? I thought about -- maybe they had dirt or debris or concerete or something embedded in them to show where the accident took place....but I cannot think of any other reason....

Yup looked into that awhile back. As well the DA's office under investigation and then add LPD, NO, etc. it appears this is its' own culture.

Well, to me that red and white symbol on that hard hat looks like the same symbol that was on the side of that DWT on the silver workbox. It is very very hard to tell. I think that actually somebody purposely blurred the symbol on that workbox for L/E reasons I guess. It is a white symbol with red letters, which I think is the Woods Group symbol.

However long he worked for Woods Group which is the place he was currently working at--offshore.

I think that that picture looks like it was taken within the last year or so...hang on -- I think I know how to find out....

Thanks not sure if there are any clues in that picture or not that could date it for us. I know to little about that type of thing.

Have good night all

It's come up a few times here whether BL could be the Jennings SK, and has been shot down due to the dates he was in prison. If he really did get out on a work release in 2006 (as some have deduced from his LinkedIn profile) then could he indeed be involved in the Jennings cases after all? Does LE not have DNA evidence from the Jennings victims? If they did and it was ran, obviously BL's DNA is in the system. I will need to do more sleuthing on that. I believe last night there was a post (by Bessie maybe?) that listed all the correctional facilities he was in and on what dates during his prison sentence. I think I remember one in/near Lake Charles or Jennings towards the end of his sentence, but I will have to check. Is anyone else thinking this might be possible or am I way off-base here?

Uhg, Jennings just keeps popping up!

At the Avoyelles Parish Jail, yes. BSL was in the Avoyelles Correctional Center.

Here's the list. BSL's not the Jennings killer, though. I'm about 99% sure of that. The victims lives were intertwined, and they all were caught up in a same dangerous circle. It's a case of Louisiana corruption at its finest. IMO

02/25/00-07/05/00 -- Pine Prairie Detention Center, Evangeline Parish
07/06/00-07/30/00 -- Reception and Diagnostic Center at Elayn Hunt Correctional Center, Iberville Parish
07/31/00-01/14/02 -- Winn Correctional Center, Winn Parish
01/15/02-09/22/05 -- C Paul Phelps Correctional Center, DeQuincy, LA, Calcasieu Parish
09/23/05-08/09/08 -- Avoyelles Correctional Center, Avoyelles Parish

 

[OceanMetTheSky]

I do. I looked at it several threads back when someone posted that picture of him. There is nothing there that you can't see with a free account.

Do you have a paid account?
I made a free account to see, but it still doesn't show me pictures or anything unless I have a paid version

Thanks for reposting that info. I've previously felt sure BL wasn't the Jennings SK for the very reasons you've listed, but I guess with all the speculation tonight about BL possibly being out on work release it made me rethink it. Don't know why I was thinking he was ever in jail in LC, guess I was confusing that for the DeQuincy location. What a horror that would be, if he was committing murders while he was supposed to be incarcerated. After thinking it over a bit I'm going back to my original opinion that he is not the Jennings SK, however in light of his possible early work release, I am wondering again if he could be responsible for Jessica Hawk's murder in NOLA. IMO the sketch of the suspect looks a lot like him. I'd really like to know the actual dates that he was actually IN the jail for sure.

I think he was "out" and "supervised" prior to 8/9/08.

I bet he did kill her! It was his "release" date When he was officially free to do as he pleased. He did it to mock LE. He drove out of twon and killed her.
here is the sketch again.

It's the eyes for me.
Not sure what he weighed in 08' but he would have had to be thinner than he is now in order for this to be him.
