[Psychic Sleuth]

I'm glad for her family that she can be put to rest. What a tragedy. Rot in hell BSL!!

Such an odd feeling of sadness and relief.... praying harder than ever now for the Shunick's. May Mickey now finally be able to rest in peace.

 

[CJnashy]

Looks like KATC is saying its all just rumor so far. Guess we will wait and see what police release tonight... say a prayer and send the Shunick's positive thoughts.

"We received credible information as far as where she could be located, off Route 10 in Evangeline Parish," the corporal said. "It was confirmed there was an area where a body was buried off the roadway and beyond a cemetery."

Prosecutors said in court filings last week that Lavergne may have moved both bodies and that "continued tampering" with Shunick's body was meant to hamper the investigation.

OH I am so sorry to read this. I'm in a neighboring state and have followed the highlights of this case. My heart and prayers go out to the Shunick family. What a tragedy.

“Some people leave a void. Mickey’s will be massive for her family and friends and will resonate all over Acadiana,” Nancy Rowe wrote in a text message to The Daily Advertiser. “She brought about a huge swell of community spirit. I hope it will continue to grow. We must watch each other’s backs, and we must not be afraid to stand up to pure evil.”

Brandon Scott Lavergne, who thought he had earlier stabbed her to death, pleaded guilty Friday to shooting Mickey Shunick in May of this year in a cane field where he intended to bury her.

He also pleaded guilty to choking to death Lisa Pate, covering her head with a plastic bag, in 1999 after she refused to stay in a Lafayette motel with him, instead wanting to return to her children in Youngsville.

By pleading, he avoided execution and will spend the rest of his life in prison.
