I do think this was an accident. I also think LE probably has a really great idea as to who was involved in this accident. The only reason I hesitate a little with accident, is I'm rather certain the driver of whatever vehicle hit Mickey was not of their right mind, and obviously, at this point, they (the driver and whomever may have been with them) are all about self preservation. Either that, or they've killed themselves too. I don't believe the latter to be the case, and I think that they are just as nuts as a serial killer, because any normal member of society would be riddled with guilt by now and would have come forward. One of my husbands friends was killed last week, in Lafayette, on a bike, hit and run. The driver later came forward. ( probably after they sobered up! Jmo)
Last night I agreed with MaHouston as to what happened to the Mick, but I would like to hold on to the idea that she is alive! I have to believe that.
I too feel obsessed with this case. I've never in my life been on any kind of Internet forum. My life is very personal. ( after all, it's MINE). I don't "Facebook", etc. I do, however, live 1/4 mile from where Mickey was last seen. I ride my bike there all of the time. The sidewalks are terrible, btw! And, st. Landry is very wide, so there is pleanty of room to share the road. I've lived in quite a few different larger cities (Baltimore and NOLA to give you an idea) and my head is not in the clouds about Lafayette, but this doesn't happen here! We won't let it! This case will NOT go cold!!! Anyone that has ever been around the people in the heart of Lafayette know that the community here is unlike anywhere. There is heart and soul here. This city really is a diamond in the rough.
Lafayette was not designed with the bike in mind. If you look at a map, it doesn't really look like Lafayette was even designed! Forever there were only two bridges that crossed the river that snakes through the city, so you had to drive to one end of the city or the other to get to the other side. Really silly. So to fix that, they knocked down an entire neighborhood to build a new bridge in the center. The growth of the city was obviuosly not factored into the last 100 year plan. The very small bike community here has grown tremendously over the last five years, and their hard work is paying off. Aside from the bicycles painted on the shoulder of Johnston street (the city calls them bike lanes), there is the new bike path and most importantly a long term plan for biking. The busses have bike racks. They are really trying.
I do not think BW or his bike had anything to do with Mickey disappearing. Whoever took BW's bike probably couldn't ride it, as I'm sure its a fixie too. They probably busted their
once whenever they tried to stop and ditched it then.
I have heard through the grapevine from people (that in my opinion, being the professional that they are should have had their lips zipped), that the driver is not unknown, because a person that knows them and about what happened has talked. They (the yapper) are after the reward money. That's not happening until Mickey is home. So, please hope they keep yapping and get money hungry soon!!!
Please, LET'S FIND MICKEY! BRING MICKEY HOME! KEEP THE FAITH!
She and her family deserve nothing less!!! It's our job as a community to ensure this case is not allowed to go cold!
FYI: the gravel road on the south side of whiskey bay has about nine unmarked white cars parked on the side of it right now and not a person in sight. Cannot be seen on camera. Seen while driving over about an hour ago.
