“Why, Gary, Why?”: The Jody Plauché Story
Deputy Mike Barnett asked Gary Plauché, “Why, Gary? Gary, why?” seconds after television cameras recorded Gary shooting and killing karate instructor Jeff Doucet, who had raped, molested, and kidnapped Gary’s son Jody. Now, thirty-five years later, Jody Plauché answers the deputy’s question on behalf of his late father and explores the story of his molestation, kidnapping, and survival. He unveils the sly tactics that child predators often use so that he can better inform parents of the potential signs that a person might harm their child. Through his own incredible story of using his past for good by helping others, he shares how any reader who has suffered great trauma can move on and not let the past define him or her. You have the potential to overcome negativity and redefine your own story.

I got this on Kindle unlimited while researching a podcast episode on Jody's dad. I was having some trouble identifying the "key players" in this case and thought I would skim this. I haven't finished it (yet- hello weekend!) but I can say I was so intrigued by the story and the way Jody writes, I can't put it down. I'm considering buying the physical book because I'd like to be able to pass it on to other friends. It's not an easy topic to write about read, but I really love how Jody puts this terrible event into a teaching perspective and also throws in bits of sarcasm and humor. I felt like I was having a conversation with Jody, not looking into something the society tends to shy away from. This case, these events are very interesting from a true crime perspective and I have enjoyed learning about Jody and his family, although (obviously) I wish no one would ever have had to experience this.

I received this book from the author, in exchange for an honest review.
This book, by Jody Plauché tells a story of a traumatic childhood event that has not shaped Jody’s life but helped him, help others. Despite being a true crime / memoir hybrid, this book also offers ways to recognize things such as grooming, and ways to prevent SA in general. This book does offer pretty heavy subjects and descriptions but if you aren’t triggered by this subject / elements, I highly recommend this as it’s written so well and very informative. I give this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5
Thank you, Jody for the book!

Being from Louisiana, I kept seeing the post about this story on Facebook often. The hero dad who did what many parents think they would do in the same circumstance. I just had to read the book. While reading, I found myself getting annoyed with the repetitive bragging Jody did. Then I remembered, he was a child dealing with tragedy. His way to deal with it, was to see what he was good at and bring that forward. It all made sense.
Not only was this a true life account, Jody placed many chapters into the book with any resources parents and victims would need.
This book was very informative. Even small things that we as parents miss, Jody brought it to light and this will forever change my parenting. Eyes wide open. Even for children that aren't mine. Protecting every child as best as I can.

Having lived in Baton Rouge from 1984-86 while in grad school at LSU, I flew out of & into the Baton Rouge airport a number of times, but at the time, I had not heard about what had happened there. I didn’t stumble on this story until a few years ago, and only found this book on Kindle Unlimited a short while ago. I find it hard to read about any kind of child abuse because I have worked with children in my career, and I know of some cases where the children I worked with were abused in some way, and it was heartwrenching. I mostly read this for the information on what happened, and since I am not a parent, I kind of skimmed the latter part of the book. It was well-written, but I can’t help thinking that Jody is one of the fortunate people who survived abuse and went on to lead a happy, well-adjusted life as an adult. I think maybe the statistics would show that that is rare.
Personally, I think his Dad was a hero, although I also will say this conflicting statement that I also believe murder and taking the law in one’s own hands is wrong. I can’t imagine what it was like though for Gary…thinking he’d failed to protect his child and fell for the pedophile’s deceptions. I can’t help thinking maybe he went just a little crazy before he killed that evil predator. I am certain that he paid the price for taking a life too. I can’t imagine living with the fact that you’d felt you had to murder someone. But child abusers often don’t spend nearly enough time in prison, so Gary kept him from going on to abuse more children, which he most certainly would have done had he been released from prison. Maybe rather than say he was a hero, I should just say I empathize with the actions he felt he needed to take.

The only way to review this is to be honest, just like Jody.
This is a difficult story to hear at times. And what makes it so good is Jody's honesty, but that also makes it somewhat difficult to hear. The candidness with which he explains how he feels during what is a horrific experience is helpful in terms of really understanding the headspace of everyone involved from Jody, to Gary, to the perpetrator, and to everyone surrounding the situation.
I appreciated that while there was indeed a lot about Jody, there was a lot about Gary Plauché and what happened after (hence the title), and that was important. There's a reason the actions of Gary struck so deeplt on something inside every person who hears the story, and it's interesting to flesh out what that was, how it happened, what the effects were, and how it influenced both Gary and his son.
The narration is pretty spot on. I appreciated that it felt like it was coming from someone who cared (and, frankly, had that accent to match). My only critique is that the final section seemed to go on a bit too long with discussion of sexual assault in the abstract. Not that it isn't good info, just that the it sort of felt a little drawn out.
Overall a worthwhile listen.

I didn't like this book at all. Jody bragged throughout the book. I could put up with that, but when he told the story about him and his godson who had lost a leg I had enough. I couldn't believe the question that he asked him and then the answer Jody gave after his godson couldn't give him an answer. This was just a book abotu Jody bragging about how great he was at things and how great he was handling everything.

Why, Gary, Why?
Although it has taken Jody to tell his story, I believe it reflects the fact it takes years to heal and sometimes a lifetime to share a personal story of abuse. I am so glad Jody has been able to share his story and also use his experiences to try to help others move forward with their lives.

As a parent I really valued reading this book. I first became really interested in the story after coming across multiple clips of the shooting on social media and then watching a few interviews on YouTube.
This kind of book isn’t one that I’d normally read but a father shooting the rapist of his child and “getting away with it” intrigued me enough that I started it straightaway and I’m glad I did. This isn’t just a book that tells the horrific story of what happened to the author as a child - the author himself now dedicates his life to helping children who have experienced the same and in this book he teaches parents how to keep their children safe.
I found it a huge eye-opener and while it can be an uncomfortable read, it’s definitely extremely worthwhile for any parent and I’ve already downloaded it on my husband’s kindle for him to read as well!

3/5 - This book is a tough but an important read, told with unflinching honesty by a survivor of sexual assault. Jody’s resilience is both moving and admirable, and his willingness to continue to tell his story brings critical awareness to the realities of sexual violence.
“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.”

Read this while at work. Good book. Hard to handle. I should start reading the back covers before I read the book.🤔

Ugh. I read this book because I'd seen the Gary Plauche video (famous on the Internet: the father who shot dead his son Jody's rapist in police custody at the airport) and wanted more information about the story. I don't know what I was expecting -- horrible things are, indeed, horrible, but this was a well-written book and piece of advocacy.
Jody goes into a bunch of information about child sexual abuse (from both the victim's perspective and what parents should do to prevent/detect/respond). Obviously very unpleasant to listen to, but informative. Also he seems surprisingly well adjusted as an adult (and the very mundane/practical details of his story before/during/after the abuse were shocking by how normal they were; things which seemed like they should be very significant weren't, and other things were.)
This is probably worth reading, particularly if you have children, but it's not going to be pleasant.
Useful takeaways:
1) "If someone touches my children, I'll kill the rapist" professions in advance can actually deter children from reporting abuse, since the abusers often groom/etc. the children. Jody, for instance, denied the abuse for days after the rapist was arrested, because he didn't want the rapist to become aware he'd betrayed him (!!!), only changing his story once physical evidence was presented.
2) (well known, but bears repeating) most offenders are known to the child/family, not stranger abduction
3) Victims are usually selected because of vulnerability (broken home, etc.)
4) even horrible things can be overcome (Jody, for instance, thinks abuse would be less damaging than losing a limb, years later). Lots of studies show people adjust to major objective setbacks far more successfully than they'd predict in advance
5) Children are often groomed by getting them to break the law/rules in some way first (sharing alcohol/drugs, etc.), so they're less likely to report any subsequent assault
6) Sexual assault, especially of boys, is particularly underreported

Reading this book left me with a knot in my stomach. The initial chapters delve into the trauma Jody endured, and while the details are not explicitly graphic (thankfully), they are crucial to understanding the modus operandi of pedophiles. Jody does an excellent job of breaking down the steps these predators take, transforming the book from a mere personal narrative into a valuable resource for those who have experienced similar trauma.
This book is not intended to instill fear about potential dangers to your child, but rather to make you a more vigilant and aware parent. These pedophiles are masters of social and emotional manipulation. Often, due to their cunning, parents overlook the signs, and children, as Jody describes, do not know how to react.
There is much more I could say, but I hope this review encourages you to read the book yourself. Thank you to the author for being an active voice against these heinous crimes.

The shot heard round the world
I remember watching "American Justice" as a kid and being fascinated by this story. I saw Gary as a hero, a man protecting his boy at any cost. As I've grown up I still consider that to be the case. Reading Jody's book, I see he feels differently. This book is sometimes explicit and is filled with gallows humor. The author has a right to cope this way. It contains a lot of information for parents, educators, etc about the process abusers use to find victims which was helpful. I'm glad the author came through his ordeal so well and has dedicated his life helping others. That said, the justice system so often fails the innocent victims and if that happened to me, I can't say I wouldn't consider vigilante justice. Read about Leigh Leigh and see an entire town turn against a young female rape and murder victim.

June 2, 2022I was a little hesitant to try reading this due to the heavy nature of the topic, however when I got into it, I was pleasantly surprised. The novel written by Jody Plauche is an autobiography. The story is told from Jody's perspective about his experience with sexual abuse and how it has affected not only him but his friends and family. The main message of the book, is how predators like Jeff can gain the trust of family members. Blinding those close to you to the acts that they would continue to do. I really enjoyed the book, and the lesson that it taught to families across the world. Over all I would read it again, and recommend it to anyone interested in non-fiction or autobiographical novels.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jody Plauche’s Dad, Gary Plauche took a stand against Jody’s molester and shot him on live tv. Gary walked away with no jail time served and is regarded as “World’s Best Dad”. Jody talks about his experience and his own story that gets muddled because of what his dad did “for him”. He talks about his conflicting feelings of what his dad did versus how it made him feel. Jody gives great advice towards the end of the book about warning signs to prevent other children from going through what he was going through. Jody’s story is powerful and raw. He tells his real emotions of how he thought his abuser was his “friend” and even though he knew it was wrong, he was waiting for his parents to save him because he didn’t know how to speak out about it.
August 9, 2022
This is a hard book for some people to read, which I understand, but it’s ultimately a great spotlight on the complicated topic of sexual assault. Jody, having gone through the extreme aspects of this as a child, does a great job discussing his perspective, the emotional impact on him, his family, and his life, and all the lessons learned that every person should know. The first half describes his ordeal in candid detail, which was less impactful to me than the second half, which summarizes his insight on sexual assault that he’s spent a lifetime understanding, overcoming, and learning to articulate. Great read and highly recommend.

A book that needs to be read now!
This story is so heartbreaking but triumphant at the same time! I went through this but instead of my dad being the hero I was told after it got out was boys will be boys and you will heal and shut up, there friendship with my rapists parents was more important than my rectum getting destroyed when I was seven, eight, nine and ten actually it went back two years further than that when it first happened. This book brought it all back again but I needed to read it and to the author thank you dear heart I am so sorry for what you went through and your pain but remember you survived it and so did I!

This is such an important book. If you are a parent, or plan on becoming one in the future, I highly encourage you to read this book.
Jody includes informative tips for parents on how to prevent your own child from experiencing sexual abuse. In the unfortunate case where this fear becomes reality, Jody outlines how to navigate the complex aftermath in a way that best supports the child/survivor.
Jody’s openness about his own childhood trauma and how he worked through the complex aftermath is inspiring. He gives hope for those who have experienced sexual assault. I greatly appreciate his dry humour/sarcasm sprinkled throughout, too!

Oh the laughs and the tears
What wouldn't a father do for his son?
I first came across Gary Plauche researching true crime. I was intrigued by what I thought would be a tale of righteous vengeance only to be blindsided by the heartbreaking and yet uplifting tale of Jody Plauche.
He recounts his trauma with such compassion and frankness.. without ever making himself the victim or the subject of a story about himself. I highly recommend this to all parents and to anyone who has been the victim of SA or knows someone who was/is.

I remember this story from when I was teenager, this little boy was kidnapped and molested by his family friend and karate instructor. His Dad shot and killed the man at the airport as they were transporting him to jail and it was caught on live TV! This is Jody’s story, he’s a grown man now and works in violence prevention by telling his story. This book is not only his story but also has a lot of advice and he tells parents what signs to look for if your son or daughter is being abused and what to look for when a man is grooming your family, especially single Moms. Great book!

The story of reading this book is one of those “What the heck?” moments in my career. I’d read about the case several weeks prior and thought, “I should interview the kid who was involved in this and see what he’s up to now.” But I never guessed I’d end up running into him by chance getting chicken cracklins with my coworker! Jody kindly gave me the book for free, and it’s a great read.
Jody tells the story of his life interestingly and informatively. Additionally, the advice in this book is great for parents and sexual abuse survivors.

My first reason for picking this book up was because of the video I saw some years back of Gary shooting Doucet. When I started to do my own research on it I wondered how Jody could ever not Jeff to be dead but reading this completely changed my POV on anything abuse related and trauma related. This book is not only a recount of experiences but a true life lesson, that lets the reader understand how they may grieve and receive trauma, but also how to accept others doing the same.
January 7, 2025
It was a great read with a powerful message. Reading the history of Jody's situation, what led up to it and how things changed, and how he overcame everything and was able to use his story to help others was inspiring. This topic can be very hard to talk about, and I liked how Jody used humor to make it more relatable. The statistics and signs to look out for were very good additions, and I think anyone should read this book so they know what to look out for and how to keep their kids safe.

Great reality check for inspecting own relationships with children
It is hard to rate a first person account of abduction and violence. The author's retelling shows the grooming that was mistaken for respect by the 11 year old. It provides a perspective from the brave overcoming by the child and his parents, as well as references to related works and events.
From a critical angle, destroying perpetrators of violence (or shutting them down forever) may look fair to the victims but makes future transcendents more desperate and possibly harmful. This reminds about the stance on death sentence in many USA States.

We all have "shared experiences." If you were alive on 9/11, you have something that you shared with most of the world.
If you lived in Baton Rouge in the 1980s, one of our shared experiences is Gary and Jody Plauche. Everyone who was around back then knows.
I saw the infamous video live on the news the night it happened. As a young journalism student at LSU, I saw the full footage again in class the next week (bizarrely, my instructor was Buckskin Bill: someone else Baton Rouge knows well). The Plauche story impacted the community and has never really gone away. I still hear someone reference it once or twice a year. I still see memes. I also think about it every time I walk through that (now unrecognizable) airport.
Part of the joy of reading this book is knowing that Jody is all right. I've never met him or any of his family and because of that, so many years later, he is still just that little boy. Reading the book and knowing that he turned out fine helps.
The story is graphic and horrible, but so very positive in so many ways. The story of a successful survivor. The second half is largely information about spotting predators. It's probably something that most people should read.
For readers, you either know the story, or you don't. In both cases, this is a great read.

January 18, 2023this was a super informative read, and I will definitely make sure I am more vigilant of the indicators Jody mentions going forward.
I also thought Jody's stance on the shooting was so interesting, whenever I have heard bits and pieces of the story I just thought his parents were absolutely based, and never considered the conflict that could arise there

This topic is not easy, but it's so important as parents to familiarize ourselves with the signs of child predators.
The author retells his story of being abducted by Jeff Doucet who is then subsequently shot dead by Jody's father. Jody then shares the common warning signs displayed by Jeff and other predators and what parents can do to protect their children.

Utterly heartbreaking. At times, I had to take a break and read something else that wasn't so heavy. I really like that he took his trauma and made something positive from it. I'm not a parent, but I feel like every parent should read this book. You never think it will happen to your kid, but it doesn't hurt to know the signs of abuse.

A parents must read!
As a survivor of child sexual abuse I encourage ALL patents to read this! Very informative and vital. He not only survived his abuse but thrived. Making parents aware of the signs of abuse is so important!

A difficult read (for obvious reasons). But it contains a lot of useful information about the reality of sexual abuse and how to prevent/move on from it. Jody doesn't mince words, but he also has a great (sometimes dark) sense of humor that cut through the heavy topics.
