All these multiple rape claims gives me a glimpse into how LS thinks and what their marriage must have possibly been like.

I think she uses rape like a grooming tool for Al. It wouldn't surprise me if she's told him before that some man tried to have sex with her. She wants Al to think other men want to have her, which she hopes will make Al want her more. She's a twisted, self-absorbed being. I do wonder
what their sex life was like. I'm sure every encounter was a train wreck. I don't know how you wake up to this thing every morning.

She would have been competing with landen still.
She T, was the best..
For her it would have been about entrapment and being and doing everything other women would not consider, no matter how sex positive they were..
She competed with ghosts.. all his exes..
No love, lots of action.
Control..
Sad and crazy..

Your post rang a bell. Wasn't there some scandal when she went up to Alaska with Al, some scandal she claimed over an officer paying too much attention to her, maybe some alleged assault or unwanted sexual attention?

I know she didn't stay with him for the length of his service there, but IIRC she was there initially and couldn't stand AK.

Does anyone else remember that?

Including an "IMO" because I do remember this, but not the details.

This is so interesting! Can you say any more about the language & mannerisms you’re seeing?

wondering cuz every time I think about this case I go back to… what is WRONG with this person?? Just can’t imagine any explanation why she would do this, so your comment is so interesting.

Was thinking maybe she was involved in some criminal activity, infidelity or some other wrongdoing - just speculating imo, not saying it’s true!! - and little Gannon knew about it (or she thought he did) so she attacked him to keep him silent. Just grasping at straws for why she would do this to the poor little guy!!! its so senseless - even if she hated her husband, his child etc …. just go! Leave them, go back to SC - no reason on earth to do something so evil & create such a problem for herself on her way out…. ?!?

So your comment about maybe abusing G’s medication got me thinking…. if she was a drug addict, that can prompt crazy behavior… and maybe she stole all of G’s pills & got paranoid that G knew & would get her in trouble for it?? Hardly enough trouble to suggest such deranged steps to escape it, but whatever….

All JMO - just questions & speculating/ thinking out loud!

RBM
This just really spoke to me. I wonder now if Gannon might have caught her bumping uglies in the house or garage with another man at some point in the days/weeks leading up to what happened and she had the Eguardo story ready for in case Gannon told his dad and then used it in a panic.

MOO

 

[Woodberry]

The one where she says she wants to go to law school and eventually teach law?

Yep. Somewhere along the way she appears to have changed course.

MOO

It was mentioned, I think, in AS's testimony a few days ago.

Oh, sorry. I missed that. Or maybe I heard it subliminally as I was doing housework. lol. Thanks.

I have been watching the trial here and there, and I think the prosecution is painting a clear picture of what happened to GS. It is more heartbreaking than I imagined it could be. One piece of evidence I can't seem to find is about GS clothes. Did he have knife cuts through his jacket, shirt, or both?
I am left with the thoughts of her beating him on his head the night before. When he seemed like he was in need of medical attention, she would have been worried about herself. Seems like she drugged him to finish him off. Do you think that is why she drove around and made multiple visits to PetCo? Perhaps, waiting for him to pass? She could then just dump him somewhere. When he didn't die, she needed a new plan because his sister would be coming home soon. When she gets out of the truck, she seem mad as she gets out. If you watch the video, she kicks the door open to where it kind of bounces back. Wonder if she is angry, he is still alive. I just don't get why we don't see him on the video, as well. I imagine he was laying down on the back seat. Apparently, he did go back inside and left his jacket on. Quickly after he got in his room, I am thinking is she stabbed him in his bed multiple times before getting a gun. My thoughts are that the blood spatter on the walls is from the knife, but the blood flowing from the mattress onto the concrete was from the gunshot in the jaw area. Seems like he was in the same spot during both attacks. What this child went through is inconceivable.
Just my random thoughts. I really just wanted to ask one question about the cuts in the jacket, shirt or both, but I ended up rambling.

Prayers for GS and his family.

Yes, the ME testified that Gannon was found wearing both a jacket and shirt, and that both items of clothing had "defects" (cuts from the stabbing).

The ME also testified that the head injuries were one of the main causes of death, so I don't believe she hit him over the head until they got back to the house on the 27th. The ME actually states that the stabbing had to have come first because of the presence of defensive wounds - meaning he wouldn't have been able to defend himself after the head trauma.

I hope that helps!

LS' police interview scheduled for court today, 4 hours long. Too bad we don't have an editing option to soften that abrasive voice.

 

[PhoneJockey]

Does anyone recall testimony that LS did not like her middle name? Was it AS that said that? Curious because I stumbled on an Angelfire page entitled “Tecia Lynn’s Page”. She states HH is three years old so I think that would put her about 22 at the time. I guess she didn’t mind her middle name at that time. Also mentions her mom is the “best mom in the world” and names siblings. Doesn’t sound like the horrible mom the defense mentioned in opening statements.

MOO

I took him to mean that she didn't like the name Leticia, but he was hard to understand sometimes.

If he'd been defending himself from the blunt trauma, I'd expect to see crushing injuries to his hands, not just cuts and stabs. So, broken bones, deep lacerations, bruising, dislocations, that kind of thing, from shielding his head with his hands.

Right now, I'm rereading So Brilliantly Clever, a book about the Parker/Hulme murder, and they describe Honorah Parker's injuries. She was bludgeoned with a halfbrick in a stocking. The damage to her hands was extensive, including part of one of her fingers being nearly completely severed just from the blunt trauma - there was no knife used in her killing.

However, I am not a medical examiner, so this is all just my opinion only.

District Attorney Michael Allen questioned Al Stauch about his relationship with Letecia Stauch regarding his work with the National Guard while serving in Alaska. According to Al Stauch, Letecia filed a claim of sexual harassment related to someone he was serving with, and this caused him to be transferred to Colorado. Additionally, Letecia Stauch also told him she was pregnant, which was not true, according to Al Stauch.

I think she said Vyvanse in the bodycam footage which is a prescription ADHD medication. I have always thought from the moment we learned that Gannon had ADHD that LS was probably abusing his medication if he was prescribed Adderall or Vyvanse. Her actions, manner and way of speaking are kind of a dead giveaway in my mind because I know someone addicted to Adderall who uses the same kind of language and mannerisms as LS when she is speaking.

Thank you for your informative post, explains about her speech, imo. I heard Vyvanse as well.


Additionally, my records show the following (moo):

Day 2 (03/21/2023) According to Judge Werner Gannon was not autistic, he was ADHD.
I know there was false MSM reporting of autism.

Good morning, y'all!


Here for Gannon <3

 

[Yellow Rose]

Also here for Gannon.

 

[Megnut]

Over the course of T's life, I wonder how many times her stepfather died. Just twice? Or even more?

How many faked pregnancies?

Fake sexual assaults?

Obnoxious drama mama.

She apparently kicked her obsessive cleaning compulsion however. So there's that.

Is there anything redeemable or legitimate about her?

Come to think of it, did she leave one small child to ride her bike unsupervised for a significant period of time, you know while she was cleaning up the crime scene from murdering the other?

No parent of the year awards here.

Bring on today's taped interview.

 

[10ofRods]

Possibilities, I guess. I would have been hesitant to do some of those things though as a family member from another state. The store lead had been checked by LE and I'm not sure her family could have identified GS better than LE. How often had her family even seen him? Didn't Al get custody after they left the east coast? I believe Landen had also looked at the tapes and said it wasn't GS before her family arrived.

Maybe it's just me but I wouldn't have approached kids who didn't know me to quiz them either. After all, there was some press saying that GS could have been kidnapped. Parents likely weren't anxious for strangers to talk to their kids in that area of CS.

In general, I'd have taken the lead from my family member who lived there. After all, at that point her family didn't think LS had anything to do with GS's disappearance. So of course they'd expect her to help search.
JMO

I think the point is that they wanted to do something themselves to help Gannon. The sense of helplessness and hopelessness had to have been so strong (in any normal person). Heck, there's a sign up now in my neighborhood for a missing cat, and it's been up for a month and I still take different routes around the neighborhood and watch our yard as much as possible all day, hoping to see that cat.

Since Gannon was missing, I seriously doubt that any neighbors would have minded being handed another poster and, perhaps, might have offered at least sympathy or encouragement. We all know that any searching would have failed, but I sure wouldn't be able to help myself from trying.

Anyway, my point is that they were used to help Letecia leave town and run away from what she'd done, which must have been quite perplexing and upsetting to people who came to try and help find Gannon. They could have helped her organize a vigil. They could have gone to local churches and asked for prayers, if they are believers (and most people would be, at that point).

And I surely didn't mean to imply that anyone should talk to children without their parents' permission and presence. But I imagine that Gannon's little friends also wanted to try to be as helpful as possible and be part of trying to find him in any way that they could.

IMO.

Day 7, here for Gannon.

 

[iamshadow21]

Hello everyone! Because we're due to start in under an hour, a reminder that today we are meant to see the entire first interview LS had with police. It is roughly four hours long. (Judge indicated yesterday that there would be at least one pause for recess during this.)

I will be endeavouring to listen to the entire thing, and will try and summarise bits and pieces for the thread that strike me as being of note, with the caveat that I may paraphrase at times and am not the fastest typist. I'm also dealing with a migraine today (I'm fine, have taken my meds and caffeine and am absolutely okay) so my thoughts may be a little sluggish and it may be a bit more difficult for me to translate them into succinct commentary. If something I type is confusing or vague, please look to our other members and the reporters doing tweet threads about this case, they'll probably have captured it much better than I did.

Also, we have no idea what the audio quality will be, and if I can't understand it, I will not make wild guesses as to the content.

MOO

 

[Kiranerys]

MOO

I mean she is being schooled on the Law, just not quite how she intended

 

[10ofRods]

Yes I caught something along those lines in one of LS’s calls or interviews or whatever - talking about the hike she went on with the two little ones shortly before the murder, she said they don’t give Gannon his ADHD medication on weekends cuz ‘then he’d be a zombie on the hike’

Ummm so they are willingly drugging this active little boy into being “a zombie” on a regular basis?? How selfish & uncaring can you be toward an innocent little person you’re entrusted with!! It doesn’t make LS think they might look for other treatment options if his daily medication leaves him unable to enjoy even something as simple as a nature walk??

Just my thoughts / IMO

Eta…. Formatting

On this issue (the ADHD and medication) surely AS would have noticed the zombie-like behavior and its absence on weekends? It's hard to believe anything this woman says. It's so hard to believe that neither parent would mention the over-medication of their son to the prescribing doctor.

It certainly does mean that there were extra doses around each month.

IMO.
