Jody Plauche’, from Baton Rouge, LA., made national headlines in March of 1984 when he was abducted by his karate teacher, Jeff Doucet. During this awful abduction, Jody was taken 2,000 miles away from his home to Los Angeles, CA. FBI officials were eventually able to rescue Jody and arrest his abductor, Jeff Doucet. After medical exams were performed on Jody, it was determined that he was sexually assaulted by Jeff. After learning this horrible news, Jody's father, Gary Plauche', learned the specifics of when the abductor, Jeff, was going to be brought back to Baton Rouge, LA. Gary strategically placed himself at a bank of payphones and as Jeff and the FBI agents walked by him, he fired a single, shot at point blank range striking Jeff in the head eventually leading to his death the next day. The shooting was captured by WBRZ news crew, a local ABC affiliate. Gary was given a 7-year suspended sentence and was never ordered to serve jail time. To so many, Gary is considered a hero. His son, Jody Plauche', has now written a book titled Why Gary Why? detailing this difficult experience. Despite this life-altering incident, Jody went on to obtain his Bachelor’s degree in General Studies from Louisiana State University with minors in Psychology, Speech Communications, and Philosophy. Jody has worked in the field of violence prevention since 1995. While attending Louisiana State University, he served on the executive board for Men Against Violence, a campus organization aimed at preventing campus violence, including sexual assault and other physical violence. So, check out this amazing life story of Jody Plauche' and how he turned his life-altering experience into a quest to help others.
