His son is now talking about how his father, who shot and killed his son’s r*pist on TV, got away with it without going to jail.
Wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, a father named Gary Plauché waited at a Baton Rouge airport in 1984 until his son’s abuser, karate instructor Jeff Doucet, passed by.
Then he fired the shot. Doucet was shot in the head and collapsed to the ground as the gunfire reverberated throughout the airport; the entire incident was captured on tape during the live broadcast.
Jody Plauché, the boy at the heart of it all, is speaking out forty years later. Jody told The Mirror, “My dad knew it was time when the lights came on.”
From the corner of his spectacles, he could make out Jeff and the sheriff strolling along Jeff. His timing was flawless since he knew to turn and shoot when the camera’s light paralleled or even crossed my father. It was a carefully thought-out act of revenge. Gary had heard from a local ABC station that Doucet would be landing at the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport.
