KPEL NewsRadio is reporting that Lafayette Police have made an arrest, but are not giving any details until a 1 p.m. press conference on Friday afternoon.  No word has been released on whether or not she has been located, either alive or dead.  While it's frustrating, we should know more tomorrow after noon.

Shunick has been missing for well over a month now.  She left a friend's house at 2 a.m. on bike and never made it home. Community support in the search for Mickey was initially strong, but a lack of leads has left everyone wondering what happened. While a bike thought to be hers was recovered along Whiskey Bay, no signs of her have cropped up.

We'll keep you updated as we know more.
