Jody Plauche' Interview Snippet

Unforbidden Truth

On February 14, 1984 Jody was kidnapped by his karate instructor, Jeff Doucet. Doucet kidnapped Jody and took him to a motel in Anaheim, California, where he sexually assaulted and molested him. Police searched the country for Jody, and he was eventually 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, also known as Ryan Field, 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, he passed the news crew who were taping the scene. He then walked past Plauché, who took out his handgun and fired a single shot, directly at the right side of Doucet's head, at point-blank range. Doucet fell into a coma, and died from the gunshot wound the next day. Plauché was initially 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. This interview will be on all podcast platforms in May.
