did anyone notice on one of the news sites that they where showing the white truck with the chrome gas tank cover instead of the one that was indeed the one they "claimed" to be the VOI? or was i seeing thing?
 
I wonder if the burnt/stolen truck was fully insured, because even though he had a lucrative job that would still make it easier to buy the "new" truck.
 
I'm feeling so glad that there's an arrest. I was seriously starting to get concerned that this was going to go cold and we'd never know.
 
I, for one, would love to know which pic of the white truck was his.

megsy, I wish I had your enthusiasm. I'm just not real confident about this arrest!

I am confident it is the right person...just hope they have all they need by trial time...
 
Aren't 4 door Z71s like $50,000 trucks? And this tier 3 RSO scum bag has owned two of them in the past two years while tons of Americans who have never hurt a fly but are unemployed or victims of the bad national economy are losing their homes and driving around in clunkers? UGH!!!

(And again- here I've been giving the stink eye to every four door white Z71 around the area and purposely ignoring the silver Z71s and he got a silver Z71 after the 6/14 truck burning. He could have driven right next to me & I never would have given him the stink eye like I did to all those innocent drivers of the white 4 door Z71s)
 
I'm curious what evidence they have that she's dead, considering he said they didn't have any DNA and they know he hit the bike and dumped the bike. That's great but how is that going to hold up in a court of law on a 1st degree murder charge.
 
Isabelle, in response to your question on the Live thread: there are 2 different White Trucks in Texas having been discussed. The previous one, we discussed around June 9. It was found in La Porte, TX. The is South East Houston, along the Gulf/Bay. It was found to be unrelated. This burned out truck is found in San Jacinto County (adjacent to Montgomery County, where he reported it stolen). That is in North East Houston.

2 different trucks.

ETA: While both places are considered the Houston area, keep in mind that Houston is HUGE. To drive between the 2 areas is 1.5-2 hours.

Really? What's making you feel that way?

If the DA's office agreed there was probably cause for an arrest on murder one, I've got to think they've got some pretty good forensic evidence.
 
Don't get me wrong - I am pretty confident LE has the right guy. I just wish I was more confident they've got the goods to be able to prove he committed murder one.
 
They showed a still of the second white truck not the first one they claimed to be the VOI.... i know i saw this while trying to watch the live stream.... let me see if i can find it...
 
BIG 102.1's FB page just posted a mini transcript, highlighting bits of the press conference

1:03 p.m. — Lavergne believed to be responsible for Mickey’s disappearance. Video evidence was recovered that saw Mickey on her bike the night she disappeared. All vehicles that followed her were ruled out except for a white Chevy Z-71.

1:02 p.m. — Lafayette Police Chief Jim Craft has taken the mic. He extends appreciation to the Shunick family and the law enforcement agencies involved. “Though an arrest has been made, much work remains to be done.”

Rest can be found here https://www.facebook.com/pages/BIG-1021/112522205425353

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. They're still gathering evidence from his house.

At this point I'm optimistic. Who knows what that's going to look like a few weeks from now. :blushing:

I believe you are correct.

Yes I had to giggle about your "stink eye" comment. That reminds me so vividly of just a few short years ago when DTL was terrorizing BR. I was giving the "stink eye" to lots of "white guys" in white pick-ups. :banghead:
 
For some reason, I thought the tip about the truck in Texas was checked and was found not to be connected?? Not too sure about what we got today. Not real confident here!
I think that was another white truck. I remember ACI looking into that one. It was just parked in a parking lot, not burned up.
 
If the truck did have GPS, then I wonder if they have searched areas where the GPS shows the perp stopping during that night and beyond. Sadly, though, I would assume the perp committed his crime that first night and put Mickey somewhere.
 
If I was a defense attorney for this perp, would you move for a speedy trial? I mean LE doesn't have anything concrete to show he killed her. Not that I want this guy out...just playing devils advocate. His truck burnt, buying a new one, placed in the area..all can be explained away by a defense attorney. It is a big leap from that to killing her. There isn't any link to say without a doubt he killed her.
