"I would like to offer my condolences to the Shunick family. I also would like to have closure. I know I'm sorry is never enough however, it is all I have to offer at this moment. I am learning about this case as everyone else is, one newscast at a time, one facebook post at a time, and one phone call at a time."
This does not even read like a case of parental denial. This looks more like an outright lie. First of all, she knew what type of vehicle her son drove. She may have even known enough about his stomping grounds to place him at the spot where and when Mickey was last seen. It is also highly unlikely that she did not know that little Brandon's truck was reported stolen in Texas immediately after the news aired pictures of it on national television. (how many times do we see our kids' vehicles on television?) It's also quite likely that she knew he had a new truck. Just like the old truck. And is she really going to try to convince us that she did not know her son had a history of violent crime? Perhaps the police should ask this woman who gave little Brandon a ride back from Texas after he attempted to destroy the evidence and made a false police report about his truck getting stolen? It would also be prudent to see if she assisted him in making any fraudulent insurance claims.
If it happens that she was involved in any of these sordid affairs, how much more hollow will her disgusting claims of cluelessness sound? "One facebook post at a time"? Seriously, Mrs Lavergne? Either you are joking, or you are lying.
Yep. There's no way at all that a family member of the owner of this vehicle could possibly recognize it on television. Absolutely no way. But someone in another state noticed it badly damaged and burned and recognized it and called police. One facebook post at a time, everyone; one facebook post at a time.
