===Kidnapping===
When Jody was eleven years old, he started taking karate lessons with Jeff Doucet. Doucet became a close friend of the Plauche family, to the point he would attend dinners with them. Unbeknownst to his father, Doucet was a pedophile and regularly sexually abused Jody. In February 1984, he kidnapped Jody and took him to a hotel in California where he repeated his abuse. California police raided the motel and arrested Doucet.https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1984/03/29/what-price-vengeancea-louisiana-town-weighs-the-issue-in-slaying-of-accused-kidnaper/e60b2557-5196-4ce0-b766-a132020ac8c6/
Upon hearing that his son was abused, Gary Plauche had a psychotic episode, and a month later, when witnessing Doucet arrive at Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport to face his trial, shot him using a handgun. Doucet would fall into a coma and die from the wounds the next day.https://web.archive.org/web/20140716171654/http://www.nytimes.com/1984/03/18/us/kidnapping-suspect-dead.html?module=Search&mabReward=relbias%3As Despite the fact that from a legal point of view, he had committed murder, Plauche received an outpouring of support from the public, with phone calls offering him money and moral support.https://youtu.be/tlTSDha2T24?t=1019 As he took a plea deal, his charges of second-degree murder were dropped.https://www.nytimes.com/1985/08/28/us/around-the-nation-man-sentenced-in-killing-of-suspected-kidnapper.html
