LA - Mickey Shunick, 21, Lafayette; 19 May 2012 - #18

And if she is on M&C video 'on the other side of the street at 2 am in the dark' being filmed by a camera whose purpose is to be looking the exact opposite way (why would a funeral home have an inside camera? I have been to a funeral there and the open caskets are inside on the st landry side of the wall - would these videos be filming funerals?) she is probably hugging the left side of st landry going left onto the street .....where the imagin center is on rt and obgyn offices on left. and terrible awful delivery truck entrances to hospital accessible to that street. shudder - there is under hospital delivery area AND there is back alleys (which I dare even park my car in daylight) next to the place I study (disclaimer) P'J's coffeeshop and subway.

would be hard to make out a silhoutte more less a person on a bike at that hour with an interior camera across the street.

I wondered why the heck she was riding down the middle of the lane on St. Landry. Maybe, she was about to work her way across to get the left side anticipating the left turn on Calder.

You mean Looweezeeana!

You mean LOW eeze (easy) an aaaaaagh.

That truck seems to be extended cab. The VOI is 4 door.

I did not think it looked big enough, but the street view can distort perspective.

Since we're talking about LS, this brings me to something that confuses me.

I read an article the other day that popped up on my homepage (I'll try to look for it later) about how police from IND and LA talked to one another to see if the LS and MS cases could be related.

The article ended by saying that LE in LA knew something about the MS case that proved that it was not related to Lauren's.

I never thought the two were related, but what I don't understand is what could they possibly know about MS's case that would definitively lead them to say that it COULD NOT be related to LS's?

They know who did it?

i think we should drop the run over by truck in front of circle K, but she still could have been run over AFTER Martin and Castille Funeral Home. and with that, i gotta tend to my children who've been deprived for the past 4 hours while i was on here.

have a good friday evening everyone.

She's not on the video at 224 St. Landry. Martin & Castille is 330 and the numbers go up as one heads her direction.

I think that Indiana Law Enforcement have suspects in mind already, but no proof. I think they are looking closely at some of the people around her right before she went missing, but they lack evidence. JMO

They only show one picture of a white truck. If both pictures of the truck near the Circle K were the same truck, I think they's still have both pictures on that website.

JMO

I don't know. After reviewing both pictures many times, I am convinced that it is the same truck. Also, given that LE mentioned another image of the truck, and have never ruled out the truck in the opposite direction, I think it must be the same.

 

[crzimmer]

FOLKS, please refrain from posting any other white trucks than the two involved.

No photo was posted. This discussion referenced an aerial photo of a white truck a searcher was shown while in the field today. It was for the Lauren case, not Mickey.

 

[Eavesdropping]

True. I don't see handles on the back quarter doors, which is what leads me to believe it's an extended cab.

That is exactly the way I understand it, being local to that case...

 

[mamamia54]

Where did this come from?

OMG!!!!!!!!! That's the truck they were looking for in the Lauren Spierer case, please everyone, stop posting it lol.

No, what confused me was that they said they knew something about MICKEY'S case, not Lauren's, that led them to believe it could not be related. Maybe it was just bad reporting and sloppy wording. I would have understood if they said it the other way around like you did.

 

[megsy]

Can you include a link to those statements? All I can find is the the other white truck with the bed cover is ruled out. I can't find anything at all about the truck traveling in the opposite direction being ruled out.

Sure

Check out the wording of May 25th and May 26th, along with the pictures.

I would post the sequence of the car and truck like I did this morning, but it wouldn't help anyway. I give up. Just look at the wheels on those two trucks, they are totally different.

 

[megsy]

We don't know that either of these occurred. I also don't remember any confirmation that they have video footage from the funeral home at 330 St. Landry But I may be wrong. I'm going to have to make a camera map for all of us because this "where's the camera" circus day after day is really making my head hurt.

No, she wasn't run over. That's way too far-fetched for too many reasons to list.

If you do that, and I really hope you do, would you get input from ACI? S/he seems to be the most knowledgeable about the whereabouts of cameras. And the other person that has three initials. E something or other?

 

[Unscripted]

Wow. No idea where?

No, LPD Chief Craft gave no indication where the cypher was observed on a bicycle from "inside a structure" between 1:30AM and 3:30AM.

It is possible that MS would zig-zag from St. Landry through the side streets to Johnston to see if her friends were still at Mel's Diner. She had apparently travelled via Johnston to get to Artmosphere earlier that night.

I'm still wondering about that text she supposedly received before she left BW's house...

 

[JennMonkey]

there are no cams at mcfh

there are no cams at the funeral home.

 

[slowlybutshelly]

Does anyone have a pic of the truck they showed on Americas Most Wanted?I did not get to see the show.

You do not have to see the show; the same pic appeared on the second page (inside of front page) in the local Lafayette paper today; what is it called "acadiana news'; if AMWanted did not get the pic from the paper, then how can two news outlets flub up on the same day?

 

[HouDat]

I think the time-space continuum has a tear in it.

Either that, or my head asploded.

Or both, even.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
