And in your opinion is the perp in the Jennings serial murders a cop or ex cop? Just yes or no....

Not A.C.I but there's more than one person involved in those murders as he stated. My answer to your question is ... Yes!! Also, I in no way, shape or form think Mickey's case is related to the Jennings 8 murders. All of those women had very strong ties to each other and weren't just smoking a little pot here and there. There's many other differences as well. I mean no disrespect to the victims either ... I've followed those cases EXTREMELY close for several years now and have met and corresponded with several of the family members, friends, as well as the PI that's worked the cases.

I'd be shocked to learn there was a connection!!!

All the above is MOO.

Beautiful. This was one of the songs at my father's memorial service. I'm as touched now as I was then.

Please come home, Mickey.

IMO it's offensive to curse the people of Jennings and call them killers. All of them really?

Thank you, BB, for your post! The thanks button wasn't enough. One of my best friends lives in Jennings and is one of the most kind people you would ever meet. There's a lot of good people there, but like most places, there are bad ones too.

OK......I read more about Jennings serial killings and I don't think they're related now either....BUT I STILL THINK LE OR EX LE IS DEFINATELY INVOLVED....

Mickey, Mickey.......thinking of you and your family and friends this morning............and wishing I could help find you

I spoke with one of the lead detectives first hand. I showed them a pic of the truck without the bed cover. The one with the chrome gas cap... his exact words were...Thanks. But we identified this particular truck..
I'm sorry but the truck with the bed cover and the truck with the chrome gas cap do not look like the same truck to me. What are we looking for??

Quueenie, LE initially released the photo of the truck on St. Landry, in the turning lane, about to turn left onto University. Next, they released a photo of the truck ON University, and identified it as "another view of the truck, in which it is clear that the truck has a bed cover." (This truck was eventually cleared by LE)

After that, a picture of a truck driving onto St. Landry (traveling in the same direction as Mickey) was released. This truck is identified as CHEVY Z71 by LE.

I know many will disagree with me, but I think the photo identified as the Chevy Z71 is the ONLY PHOTO we have of the VOI.

 

[kgeaux]

I just waded through the last six or seven pages of the previous thread.

I am absolutely horrified about the doctored pictures of the truck, in which so many are seeing not only a driver, but a passenger, AND a cracked windshield.

NONE of those things are visible in the photo released by LE. NOT EVEN ONE OF THEM.

I do not know who is responsible for doctoring the picture, but I do know that we are all responsible for going along with it if we don't challenge such things when they happen. I don't know if the person who doctored the picture did it truly trying to help, or if they are deliberately muddying the water. But I do know that if we choose to wade in the muddy water, we are perpetuating a fraud, even if it was good intentions that led to it.

PLEASE ASK YOURSELF: How can I possibly see a blue/teal shirt in a black and white photo?

It is so obvious when comparing the doctored photo to that of LE that substantial things have been done to change the photo.....and I am not talking about just changing contrast and blowing the photo up, either.

WE ARE HERE TO HELP FIND MICKEY. It does not help in any way to change a photo so much that we can now "clearly" see things that aren't there.

All of those girls were connected; lemme clear that up, many of the girls had the same "baby daddy" or "baby daddy" was bf/pimp to girls. Since the new Sheriff is coming in & a LARGE change has been made & being made, the cleaning up & clearing out of the "crooked"...I feel this case is goons bust wide open w/in a year. MS (IMO) ain't a "baby daddy" victim & doesn't fit the profile of the other girls...not friends w/these girls which no connection. And if I can say this, most of those girls & that group I don't see them fixing to graduate from college (hooker school but not college, especially anthropology...they probably think that is something to do with the study of "I'm sorry", most of those girls were h.s. drop out, had no real jobs) sorry if that was ugly, I just wanted to clear it up that MS doesn't fit this group. Please keep focused on where she could be & stop grasping @ any & everything in the area pertaining to crimes. Whoever is this is probably watching this forum & laughing. Especially after seeing this (it's doesn't fit JD8) & if it did she would have been found by now, lying in the middle of a road nude (how most of the girls were found)

I didn't want to post anything negative, but I wondered the same thing. Personally, I'm not sure how people can see colored shirts, and more specifically, "button-down" colored shirts in a black and white photo that is distant, grainy, and poor quality. These doctored photos are not helping to find Mickey's POI and should be removed from this site. JMO

 

[kgeaux]

I'm sorry for posting three times in a row.

I don't know how to quote from the previous closed thread, but I wanted to answer a couple of things I saw over there.

#1. The truck in the driveway in Kenner is not "identical" to the VOI. It is not white, it is not a Chevy Z71, the door handles are different, just to name a couple of the more obvious differences.

#2. We were told in the very first interview with Brettly that Mickey's seat was NOT the standard seat that came with her bike. She has a BLACK seat, so anyone who is seeing a gold, glittery seat in the road under the truck is seeing (loose term here!) something totally unrelated to this case.

#3. Chevy Z71's have stickers on BOTH SIDES OF THE REAR PANELS.

#4. LE is not making public statements about this case right now. THAT DOES NOT MEAN they aren't working the case! Whoever posted on the last thread that they wished there was a lead detective in charge of the case, how do you know there is not one?

#5. ACI, I hate to say this! But if all your calls are going to voice mail, it may be that Mr. Abdella is using caller ID to screen his calls. I know of someone else who made a call yesterday, and he immediately picked up! (Sorry, friend!)

This bears repeating.

A.C.I. -- In light of the enhanced/altered/completely changed photos we've been seeing, I had a thought occur to me. The cameras at LCG.... are they accessible by you now? I mean, if you wanted to check them out for whatever reason, could you? And could you see what the quality is like for yourself? Then you could compare what we've had released to what LE has in its possession, ya know?

I'm sure you don't have time to do it, since it would only benefit WS in a teeny tiny way (confirming or denying that that type of detail is obvious to LE), but it was something I wanted to throw out there.

Heck, if I'm honest, I don't think it would do any good to know that one way or another, but I was curious regardless.

I agree, enough of the "enhanced" photos. This is a still shot from a video. It was released for a purpose, to identify the truck and hopefully the perp. All of us trying to determine hair color, skin color, or if heaven forbid Mickey is under the truck is a waste of time and energy. If we, and LE, and the P.I. would dedicate half of the time we have spent here on web sleuths arguing the infinite probabilities, Mickey would be possibly found.


Sorry guys, coffee not kicked in yet, fighting MS fatigue, and grumbly as hell.

But that's the point.

It isn't the same truck.

The truck with the bedcover looks to be a late model Ford Ranger or a Toyota Tacoma.

The one in front of Circle K looks like a Chevy/GMC 3500HD Non Dually.

There are two truck photos in front of the Circle K.

Are you referring to the truck turning left onto University, or the truck headed onto St. Landry?

 

[Le Singe]

I'm just curious. Let's just say that tonight they arrested someone for Mickey's disappearance or they discovered that hair dyed couple in NOLA is connected. Again, this is hypothetical. When would the public likely find out about this? Tomorrow on the early morning news? How does the process work?

i would assume not until they felt like they had all the evidence they needed to make their case or until they felt like they needed something from the public. These people are already in prison so there would be no need to rush to arrest them on mickeys case.

 

[jacksonsquare]

I can't see doodley squat in the enhanced photos. I do think it is like a Rorschach (sp) test. You see what you want to see. Sort of like seeing Jesus or the Virgin Mary in a tater tot.

 

[slowlybutshelly]

It does not take LE knowledge to know that bleach destroys forensic evidence. A basic biochem class will help a person learn that all living cells (anything that utilizes oxygen) make bleach that kills bacteria made. It does not take much of a brain to realize that bleach in the textbook is the same as bleach marketed to the public.

Yeah, I don't see where anyone was going with any of that.

Clearly it's Jimmy Hoffa who is seated in that back seat, holding up a piece of a toast with the image of the Virgin Mary on it.

The reporting in this case has been horrible. I wish someone would get a definitive statement from LE re the DWTs.

The DWT turning left on St Landry appears to have its Tailgate down, has no Z71 sticker and appears to have different hubcaps than the DWT following MS. There should be a photo of it on University from the cam that took the photo of the car and the other DWT heading north.... Unless that's the same one but that one looks to be a Toyota. And the rear window of the DWT in the turn lane has a white blotch which covers any potential marking. Don't know if that's a photo problem or was intentional.

Also it's not clear if the DWT following Mickey is a 4 door or 2 door.

LE hasn't been very forthcoming considering they have more photos and the press doesnt ask questions.
