Mickey Shunick 22 years old, Lafayette, LA MISSING 5/19/2012(BODY FOUND)

[Tamikosmom]

Has Brettly submitted to a polygraph?  Has surveillance video been analyzed to affirm the alleged trip to Taco Bells?  Has Mickey's cell phone records been analyzed in regards to the two alleged calls?

Mickey's father confirmed on JVM that a surviellance camera captured Brettly Wilson's vehicle at Taco Bell's drive-thru at 1:30 AM.  However ... according to her father ... nothing yet has been revealed from along the route Mickey's would have biked to her home.

A Well-Known Texas Search Team is Lending a Hand to Help Find Mickey

06:18 PM by Jenise Fernandez

Tim Miller is all too familiar with missing persons. His teenage daughter Laura went missing in 1984 and police considered her a runway.

"Unfortunately 17 months later her body and 3 other bodies were found two and half miles from my house," said Miller.

Since then, Miller founded Texas Equusearch Mounted Search and Recovery Team. He and volunteers travel the country searching for missing persons working hand-in-hand with police.

"We're hoping for the best. We don't sugarcoat anything. It does not look good, doesn't look good at all, but we believe in miracles," he said of the efforts to find Mickey.

Equusearch volunteers go through structured trainings where they learn to search for evidence and differentiate between human and animal bones.

"I think we've got the determination, we've got the experience, we've got the resources, all we need is a little bit of luck," Miller added.

A couple of changes since moving to the new volunteer center and Equusearch took over-- not only is it more spacious but no cameras are allowed on searches and all volunteers are asked to leave their cell phones because there is only one focus, and that is, to find Mickey

"They know what to look for, they know what we may not have thought of yet," said Mickey's friend, Ashley Says.

Says believes Equusearch is not only providing necessary resources, but their presence is increasing morale.

"We're not going to stop, we're not going to rest, we're going to get her back," said Says.

We have received messages regarding Mickey being missing on our landlines.
Also last weekend there were many graduations going on. There are flyers everywhere including billboards and digital messages CVS and Walgreens, as well as at one of our baseball parks my sons play at. There was also a call last night for people with atvs for the day search today with Equisearch.

Thanks to all of you for updating Mickey's case. This last week of school has been hectic so I haven't had much time to update here.

Why are we posting about Sierra's case in Mickey's thread?

It is upsetting for those who are following Mickey's case to come in here and read words such as "picked up at her gate", which causes anyone to get the impression Mickey has been found and possibly harmed.

I agree. I have moved those posts (klaasend)

Oh my goodness...I apologize...I must have opened this thread seeing it as Mickey's and then saw a post about Sierra and my brain went straight to her.  I sincerely apologize.  I meant no harm.

'I told her to be safe'
11:00 PM, May. 24, 2012 

Brettly Wilson has shared his account of the last time he saw his friend, Mickey Shunick, repeatedly in the past six days.

At about 2 a.m., he says, Shunick was at his Ryan Street home when she unlocked her bicycle, checked her can of Mace spray and told him goodbye.

"I walked her out the back door. I told her to be safe. I waited until she made it out of the driveway, then I closed the door, locked it and that was the last time I ever saw her," said Wilson, the last person reportedly to have had contact with Shunick before she vanished.

Good morning.  

As I was catching up I noticed one more post about the Sierra Lamar case. It's at the bottom of the page so it was probably just missed.

Cleanup on aisle three, please.  

TIA  

Done.  Thank you.

Cyclists keep focus on safety

One question, among many, in the search for Mickey Shunick has been: Why was she riding her bicycle in the dark, early morning hours?

Friends say the bicycle was simply Shunick's normal mode of transportation. And fellow cyclists say it's not uncommon to bike in Lafayette at night and when traffic is light.

WILSON: I didn`t have a bike rack on my car. Mickey has done this, you know, every night we`ve ever
gone out. She`s ridden her bike somewhere. She actually rode her bike to the show, which is a bit further
 than my house. It was nothing out of the ordinary for her to bike anywhere, no matter the time of day.

Full recap of Friday press conference in Shunick case

Lafayette police say they have not recovered any items belonging to Mickey Shunick as the investigation into her disappearance reached its seventh day.

Police continue to receive about 20 tips per hour through a special tips line devoted to the case, said Cpl. Paul Mouton, spokesman for the Lafayette Police Department, at a Friday press conference.
All of those tips are being investigated, but none of them have led to any indication of where Shunick is or what might have happened to her.

CW...as I understand it Brettly and Mickey both biked to Artmosphere.  The only reason they went to Taco B in his vehicle was they won't serve anyone biking up to the drive thru.  I know that is pretty common practice in any fast food place I've been to.  I wanna hear that there is footage of this pretty young lady after she left his home!  I don't believe there will be any.  I think she broke his heart somehow and he couldn't take it.  I may be wrong and usually am but that is how I am feeling right now.

Possible Video of Missing Louisiana Student Discovered

(LAFAYETTE, La.) -- Investigators who've expanded their search after combing the area where Michaela "Mickey" Shunick disappeared found surveillance video showing a glimpse of someone riding a bicycle who they believe could be the Louisiana student.

The footage is too blurry to tell whether the person is Shunick, a senior anthropology major at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, police said.  The 22-year-old left a friend's house on her bike last week after a night out, and hasn't been heard from since.

As investigators and the woman's family expand the search, even sending out a recorded plea for help mentioning a $25,000 reward for information, some people in the area where she vanished have begun to wonder whether Shunick was abducted at all.

"What concerns us is, where is her bicycle?" Det. Stephen Bajat of the Lafayette police department said.  "If it is some kind of abduction, most people would snatch and go on and not concern themselves with the bicycle."

Friend of Missing Student Regrets Letting Her Bike Alone

 ::snipping2::

The missing woman's friends and family describe Wilson as a close friend to Shunick, noting that the two planned to move to New Orleans together this summer. Despite their plans to live together, Wilson and Shunick are not dating and have never dated, according to both Wilson and Shunick's friends.

The two have been friends for the past four years, Wilson said.

 ::snipping2::

One of the most difficult questions Wilson said he has had to answer in the past few days is "Why did you let your close friend get on a bicycle at 2 a.m.?" It is one he also wrestles with.

"That's the one thing: I could have helped. I could have been there, and we wouldn't be here now," Wilson said as he wiped away a tear from his cheek.
