In this week's episode of Louisiana Unfiltered with Kiran Chawla, you are taken on a harrowing journey through a gripping case from the 1980s in Baton Rouge as told by the brave survivor, Jody. Jody recounts the chilling details of how his karate teacher, Jeff Doucet, exploited his trust and subjected him to sexual abuse and eventual kidnapping. Through Jody's candid storytelling, we gain insight into the trauma and manipulation experienced by survivors of such atrocities. Despite the horrors endured, Jody never blamed himself, attributing his awareness of abusers' tactics to a TV show he watched as a child. His resilience shines through as he shares his path to healing and advocacy, encapsulated in his book "Why Gary Why," which not only tells his personal story but offers essential support to other survivors and their families.  He delves into the complexities of their relationship with Jeff, highlighting the emotional entanglement and struggles wrought by Jeff's troubling behavior.  As the tension escalates, we learn of Jeff's coercive demands on their family, culminating in a threat of never seeing daylight unless compliance was met. Jeff's actions led to aggravated kidnapping charges and a potential life sentence, with an aftermath that you have to hear to believe.  Timestamps  02:24 The Beginning: Karate Lessons and Trust 14:35 A Father's Justice: Unveiling the Truth 16:30 Silent Suffering: The Burden of Guilt 20:44 Escaping Captivity: The Kidnapping Begins 23:30 The Journey to California: Unexpected Adventures 25:07 Challenges in Los Angeles: Seeking Help 27:59 Disneyland and Dyeing Hair: A Disturbing Turn of Events 29:39 Reaching Out: Communication Amidst Chaos 29:54 Family Emergency in New York 30:42 Psychological Analysis of Jeff 31:27 Jeff's Capture 32:33 Police Raid and Arrest 33:04 Initial Police Interrogation 33:57 Hospital Examination and Forensic Kit 34:32 Adjusting to a New Environment 35:26 Returning Home 37:29 First Day Back at School 39:15 Police Conversation with Parents 39:55 Revealing the Abuse to Parents 53:01 Father's Sentencing and Community Service 54:46 Filming Geraldo Rivera Show  #JodyPlauche #GaryPlauche #crime #news #podcast #KiranChawla #whygarywhy   You can purchase Jody Plauche’s book here: https://a.co/d/0eIKu70q Local Sponsors for this episode include: Neighbors Federal Credit Union: Another Chance Bail Bonds: Sound and Editing for this audio podcast by Envision Podcast Production:
