I came across a Facebook "Note" by Allison Smith Breaux about the case of missing Lafayette woman Mickey Shunick.  A volunteer realized that there were many different ways people could help, but that they were spread out in several different areas, whether they were on Facebook, on a website, or in the media.  She decided to put them all together in one place (outlined below).

One of the ideas that I have been stressing on the air during my show is that EVERYONE can help by SEARCHING THEIR OWN PROPERTY.

It may sound crazy, your yard might be really small, but with everyone searching, we should find at least something.  Start with your own property, and then walk around your neighborhood.  I don't care if you live Downtown or in Freetown, near the Vermilion River bridge or in Breaux Bridge:  search your own property.  And then, walk around your neighborhood; search ditches, fields, wooded areas.  I am not asking you to trespass;  be respectful of other people's property, but if EVERYONE searches their own property ALL ACROSS ACADIANA, we WILL find something.  We must.

We are into the 4th day of her disappearance, and it seems that we have come up with no new evidence.  I know that it takes time to go through all of the traffic camera footage and, if something is found, to research that particular lead.

If you or your neighbors have video surveillance on your home, business or property, it wouldn't hurt to review the tapes from early Saturday morning (between 1:30am and 3am).  If you see anything that could be related to the case, do NOT hesitate to call the hotline at 337-291-8633.

Let's bring Mickey home.  Here are the 10 things you can do to help:
