Mickey Shunick Candlelight Vigil Scheduled for Tonight; Search Still In Full Swing [Video]

It's been over four days since Lafayette's Mickey Shunick went missing after leaving a friend's house near University and Congress on a bike. Her destination was Gov. Miro Street near Ambassador but as we all know, she never made it.

A huge effort has been made by her friends and family along with countless others who have joined the Find Mickey Now! team.

Here's a video that was put together by one of Mickey's friends, Josh Coen to help in getting the word out about the search for Mickey Shunick.

As you've seen in the video, there is a Facebook page set up for all things related to the search. You can access it here: www.facebook.com/findmickeynow.

Tonight there will also be a candlelight vigil held for Mickey in downtown Lafayette. Here is the press release with all the information:

A vigil will be held for Mickey Shunick at Parc Sans Souci in downtown Lafayette on Tuesday, May 22 at 7:30pm. Clergy, friends and family will speak followed by candlelighting.

21-year old female Michaela (AKA Mickey) Shunick was reported missing Saturday May 19th at approximately 2:00 AM. She was last seen leaving Ryan Street (near downtown Lafayette) at 1:45 am on a black Schwinn Madison fixed gear bicycle with glittery gold handlebars.

Mickey is a Caucasian female with shoulder-length white blonde curly hair, blue eyes, and is approximately 5'1" and 115 pounds.

She was last seen wearing a pastel striped shirt, light wash denim skinny jeans, and silver ankle boots.
