The report released Monday answers some of the questions previously unanswered about the case.
On May 19, hours after he allegedly shot Shunick to death, a male friend of Lavergne's from New Orleans drove Lavergne to Ochsner Medical Center for treatment of stab wounds.
The friend said Lavergne told him two friends in Lafayette stabbed him and he drove to New Orleans for medical treatment because he didn't want to get them in trouble.
"Records showed that he arrived with blood saturated band aids covering wounds that were no longer bleeding," an investigator wrote.
The friend told police the center console of Lavergne's truck was covered with blood.
Lavergne was released from Ochsner May 20. He took photographs of his injuries with his cell phone while at the hospital.
Sometime after 5 p.m. May 20, Lavergne put the bloody shirt he was wearing at the time of the stabbing into a Dumpster at the Acadia Parish business of his fiancee's father.
The documents show Lavergne's half-sister in Conroe, Texas, told police she drove him on May 30 to a remote location in San Jacinto County, Texas, where he burned his truck. The truck was found May 31 on Hues Road in Shepherd, Texas.
Lavergne told her he needed to get rid of the truck because it was involved in something illegal in Louisiana. She said a $300 debt she owed him was cleared because of her help.
The son of Lavergne's half-sister reported seeing 10 to 12 fingernail scratch marks on the upholstery behind the driver's side head rest of Lavergne's vehicle and a maroon-colored tablecloth on the bench of the seat, the report states.
His sister provided deputies with cleaning supplies Lavergne left at her house the day he burned his truck, and she told police she saw him remove a long knife, which resembled a sword, he had hidden at her house.
In a telephone conversation, Lavergne told his half-sister that he was hurt at work.
The cell phone number of Shunick's mother was found written on an envelope in the truck Lavergne was driving when he was arrested July 5, according to the report.
