Jody Plauché’s parents sent him to karate classes when he was ten years old. Jody’s father, Gary Plauché, was strong friends with the coach, Jeff Doucet.
The parents thought Jody would pick up a valuable life skill, but they had no idea that the time he spent taking karate lessons would end up being the worst moment of his life and permanently alter the path his family would take.
After Jeff abused Jody, he abducted him and transported him to Port Arthur, Texas, and then to Los Angeles. A week later, authorities found him.

As an adult, Jody recalled that “he had already been testing the boundaries, and it was over several months before he ever started to do anything.” “He had started grooming my family as well as myself. Pedophiles are highly skilled at their craft. They will test the child’s boundaries as part of the grooming process.
“Jeff would say, ‘We need to stretch,’ so he would be touching around my legs,” he added. In this manner, he could claim, “It was an accident; we were just trying to stretch,” if he were to grip my private area. Or he may place his hand on my lap while we were driving and say, “Oh, I didn’t mean to.” I was unaware that I had hands. That is the kind of calm, steady seduction.
Gary, Jody’s father, was among those who were unable to move past what had occurred to Jody. He chose to take matters into his own hands since he couldn’t fathom allowing Jeff to live after everything he had done to his son.
Gary believed his son’s rapist would leave the building at that moment, so he put on a baseball cap and sunglasses and made his way to the Baton Rouge Metro Airport in Louisiana on February 19, 1984. Gary whispered on the phone, “Here he comes,” when he was talking to someone, most likely a friend of his named Jimmy. A shot is soon to be heard.
Gary pulled out his gun and immediately killed Jeff by shooting him in the ear. Reporters covering the news at the time captured the entire episode on camera.
When Deputy Mike Barnett recognized Gary Plauché, he said, “Gary, why? “Gary, why?” was asked just after the shooting was captured on television.

“After the shooting happened, I was very upset with what my father did,” Jody recalled, speaking out about his father’s actions years after the murder. Jeff’s death was not what I wanted. According to The Advocate, “I was satisfied that he was going to be put in jail.”
“My father was just too severe. “I’ll kill my kid if anyone ever touches him,” he used to say. I was certain he wasn’t joking. I was unable to inform anyone because of this. And he ultimately did just that,” Jody told ESPN.
Gary was taken to court and given a five-year probationary period. Gary didn’t spend any time behind bars, with the exception of the period he was awaiting trial.
Gary responded, “No regrets,” when asked if he had any regrets about killing his son’s rapist in an interview with Yahoo.
Jody, who is currently in his forties, wrote a book called Why Gary Why? in which he discusses ways that parents may keep their kids safe. He is a sexual assault counselor as well.
Jody remarked, “It is what it is.” “I’ve accepted who I am and my experiences. I wrote the book for that reason. Once more, it has nothing to do with me or what Daddy did. It’s about teaching and assisting others.
In 2014, Gary Plauché died.
