According to our friends at KATC, the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office and Lafayette Police are searching property near the home of Brandon Scott Lavergne about a possible shallow gravesite. St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby Guidroz says his office received a tip about a possible gravesite near St. Ann's Catholic Church.

Guidroz says the site appeared to be a grave but his deputies were not able to confirm for sure. Cadaver dogs are on the scene assisting.

Of course, Lavergne has been charged with first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping in the disappearance of UL student Mickey Shunick.

As soon as we get updates, we will update you right here.

***UPDATE 10:20am - According to Sheriff Bobby Guidroz, the search has turned up nothing. The search has been called off.
