Twenty-two years old, alone on a bike at two in the morning, a man twice her size waiting in a white truck with a knife and a gun. Mickey Shunick did not do what he expected. She fought. And the wounds she left on her attacker's body are part of what brought him down.
In this episode, the gals walk through the 2012 disappearance and murder of Michaela \"Mickey\" Shunick in Lafayette, Louisiana: the surveillance footage of the white truck, the bike found submerged under a bridge 25 miles away, the killer who torched his own truck in Texas and then bought a nearly identical one, and the grand jury indictment that revealed a shocking twist from thirteen years earlier. This is the story of a girl who refused to be a victim, a mother named Lisa Pate who waited over a decade for justice, and the Louisiana community that refused to stop searching.
Say their names. Mickey Shunick. Lisa Pate.
