Explicit content warning
02/20/24 • 25 min
40 years ago, Jody Plauche was kidnapped by his karate teacher, Jeff Doucet. When Doucet was finally apprehended by police, Jody's father would have his revenge. On March 16, 1984, Gary Plauche shot and killed his son's kidnapper in front of a local news crew. As officers took Gary into custody, they asked "Why, Gary, Why?!" He simply responded, "If somebody did that to your kid, you'd do it, too." This is the story behind the infamous video taken 40 years ago at the Baton Rouge airport.
