Listen "Why Gary Why? | The Interview of Jody Plauche"
Episode Synopsis
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.
