According to his bio, CAO Dee Stanley was once the news director for KLFY and also was a reporter at that station. My guess is that he was asked to assist with media communication and so forth.

Unmarked empty white van arrived a short time ago. There's a massive scene on the banks of whiskey bay. Flood lights illuminating the water.

sounds like we're getting closer to hearing something

How do they know it's empty?

Durel (City-Parish President) may be out shopping around new redflex cameras.

Yeah you right!

First post. I have been lurking for about a week.

I was raised in Lafayette, but now live out of state. I still have friends and family there and visit when I can.

My best friend when I was in my teens lived in the Saint Streets area and we biked all around that part of town. In those days, the city government building was still the old Sears department store.

I hate to bring this up, but there is something that has been nagging me about the whole white truck discussion. I have not seen anyone else bring this up.

If I understand it, we have two photos of "Bed Cover" truck. The first on St. Landry at the traffic light waiting to make a left onto University Ave. The second of the truck heading north on University. We are to conclude that the truck entered St. Landry at some point east of the intersection then turned left on University. The blurry vehicle at the edge of the photo taken of the old sedan heading away from University could be this same truck approaching the intersection.

Here is my confusion:

In the police department news release concerning the photo of "Bed Cover" truck heading north on University, they say:

"The first truck (Picture 1) drove from the area that Mickey had traveled. It is evident from the new photo that the vehicle has a bed cover and tinted windows."

The truck drove from an area "that Mickey HAD traveled". I take that to me down streets on which Mickey had previously been. Would that not mean either Versailles Blvd or St. John St? If that is the case, the truck approached University from the St. John St. side. Not the St. Landry St. side.

Can somebody clear this up?

Anyone know approximately what time this second search at Whisky Bay started?

Very well could be...

I can only imagine how her family is feeling right now... sending lots of prayers and good thoughts!

Stanley is second in line behind Durel according to Joe Schmoe on FB.

eta: and also MR. Blue Rolfes?

It's actually Mrs. Blue Rolfes. She's Dee Stanley's wife. And used to be (still is? I don't live in Lafayette anymore) a reporter on KLFY. Maybe that's why he's there (he went out there with her) and we're over speculating?

What I will grant you, A.C.I., is that IF she chose to take Brashear to use Johnston, I only think she would have done that if she did NOT feel followed. If she were, and he were on her tail, would she have driven left across his path and risk having him run her over, to cross over St. Landry? She didn't know WHAT he was doing, and it could have crossed her mind that he would just run her down. To me, her natural defense would be to go RIGHT, away from the road, not left, deeper out into it.

Sure he could have tailed her onto Brashear if he were sly. You and I disagree on whether she chose Johnston over St. Landry.

I feel as if someone is reading what I posted on the facebook.

Why would they call the Lafayette Consolidated Government's Chief Administrative Officer out?

He was a director(?)/ investigative reporter with KLFY.

Hello crzimmer, and welcome to WS.

Unmarked empty white van arrived a short time ago. There's a massive scene on the banks of whiskey bay. Flood lights illuminating the water.

We've seen this type of thing play out before, sadly, many times here at WS. It's much like removing a splinter. You know it has to come out but getting it out hurts.

Blessings and prayers for those who are out in the dark tonight, trying to bring out the truth so we can work towards finding the perp and seeking justice.

Oh no. I don't even want to type what I think that van might be there for....

Sending out love to the Shunicks right now. Y'all have everyone in Acadiana, most in Louisiana, and many in the nation enveloping you with love, strength, and support

So do people think that it was someone who hit her with their vehicle then stopped, took the bike and body and disposed of it?
