Gary Plauche kills Jeff Doucet

Meet karate coach Jeff Doucet.

That’s him, walking off a plane and into the Baton Rouge, La., airport on March 16, 1984. There’s a sheriff with him. News cameras are rolling. He’s accused of repeatedly molesting an 11-year-old boy, Jody Plauche, then kidnapping him to Disneyland. A rape kit proved he sodomized him more there.

Now meet Jody’s dad, Gary Plauche.

That’s him, waiting by a bank of pay phones. He’s got a .38 snub-nosed revolver in his right boot. He’s facing the wall, talking on one of the phones to his best friend, Jimmy.

“Here he comes,” Gary whispered. “You’re about to hear a shot.”

Then Gary Plauche reached down for the gun, spun around and fired a hollow-point bullet into Doucet’s brain from three feet away. Then he lowered the gun, turned around and hung up the phone. A TV camera caught it all. Doucet would be dead within 24 hours.
