Interview with Jody Plauché

Unforbidden Truth

On this week's episode, I speak with Jody Plauché'. Jody was kidnapped and abused by his karate instructor, Jeff Doucet, in 1984. Jeff had taken Jody to California where he would be abused by Jeff. Police searched the country for Jody, he was found after Doucet allowed the boy to place a collect call to his mother from the motel. On March 16, 1984, Doucet was flown back to Louisiana to face trial. Doucet arrived at Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, and was led in handcuffs by police officers through the airport at around 9:30 p.m., where Gary Plauché, Jody's father was waiting for Doucet with a handgun. As Doucet was escorted through the airport, Gary fired a shot point blank, hitting Jeff close to his right ear. The infamous video of Jeff being shot, can be seen on Youtube. Plauché was originally charged with second-degree murder, but agreed to a plea bargain in which he pleaded no contest to manslaughter. He was sentenced to seven years' suspended sentence, with five years' probation and 300 hours of community service, which he completed in 1989.
