A chilling revelation from a family member involved in the Mickey Shunick investigation has highlighted the dangers of sharing personal phone numbers on missing person flyers.

Lafayette's KATC-TV 3 has an excellent rundown of the nearly two dozen lawsuits convicted murderer Brandon Scott Lavergne unleashed over the last two weeks.  After all, what else is the guy going to do while sitting in Angola State Penitentiary serving a life sentence? Lavergne pled guilty in 2012 to the murders of Mickey Shunick and Lisa Pate.

In a move that makes you want to say "YAY, justice system," a judge turned down confessed killer Brandon Scott Lavergne's attempts to withdraw his guilty plea.  He also pretty much turned down everything else Lavergne was asking for, too.

The University of Louisiana Lafayette football program has announced that they will honor former UL student Mickey Shunick this season by putting decals on their football helmets.  The team will wear the decals on the helmets all season long to honor Mickey.
