The detective wants LS to continue explaining the attack and to give details, LS is pushing back. Saying “me telling you about an assault on me isn’t going to help find Gannon.”

Wow! Just wow!!

I still can't figure out what the stuffing tissues in her pants was about?

In a brief audio recording of a FaceTime call conducted on the evening of Jan. 28, Stauch told Bethel that she wasn’t interested in coming to the Sheriff's Office.

"I'm not going in to talk to you without an attorney," Stauch told Bethel.

Bethel at one point in the call asked Stauch where she was, and Letecia Stauch declined to tell her.

[…]

Stauch spent a significant amount of time in the interview describing “Eduardo” to detectives, saying he was short, had a round face and was in his 30s.

"I would do anything for you to find out who Eduardo is," Stauch said around the three-hour mark of the interview.

As detectives continued to ask questions, Stauch struggled to recall specifics from the alleged attack, saying numerous times that she "doesn't remember," or "doesn't want to talk about" certain topics brought up by detectives.

Stauch claimed she didn't remember certain events from the assault because she hit her head a number of times and "blacked out." During Van Nest's testimony on Tuesday, she said Stauch had no injuries consistent with having hit her head when she examined Stauch on the same day the interview occurred.

Over three hours into the interview Stauch told detectives that she would like to leave, and after briefly disappearing from the room Stauch returned and was seen arguing with a new detective about having her phone taken.

Thanks to everybody who kept us in the loop today ... and it was a loop lol

She didn't want them having her pop can or her tissues with her DNA on them.

 

[Warwick7]

The detective asked about LS going up to N county and why. L’s voice inflection completely changed and she’s sitting on edge of sofa wanting to bolt. Not relaxed like earlier. With her jacket on, so she’s wanting out of there. The fake heart attack should be soon. Boom! Bam!

 

[Warwick7]

Ok in her alleged world was she wearing ear buds/headphones the day GS died?? Because she said to the detectives that she was in the house and heard something strange.”

Um ya she said earlier “the reason I didn’t hear anything is because I was wearing my noise cancelling head phones.”

It can't be both.

Liar liar liar

 

[Warwick7]

Ok...she tells LE the gun attacker gave her back the gun, and she put it back and didn’t tell police. Um ya ok....he gave her the gun back before he left.
I'm shaking my head...

 

[Pianoturtle]

I had to work today so I didn’t watch. After reading all the posts, I’m not sure I want to subject myself to that. Maybe I’ll just let it play in the background while I quilt.

 

[KooshBall]

She didn't want them having her pop can or her tissues with her DNA on them.

Oh they were used, got it, thank you. I was thinking they were fresh out of a tissue box and couldn't figure out what she was up to with them. I was thinking maybe she was going to tie them together to climb out the hospital window, because nothing would surprise me at this point lol.

 

[mpnola]

I used to hate the word tee-splaining because it used a chummy nickname. But now that I know how much she hates her name, it’s perfect. And booooyyyy does she tee-splain

 

[Curious Me]

...Stauch spent a significant amount of time in the interview describing “Eduardo” to detectives, saying he was short, had a round face and was in his 30s...​

Please don't take offense, but it's Edguardo with a g, or as LS said maybe a j, according to the person who made him up. lol (I'm just teasing now. You spelled it the correct way it's widely known. That is not her Edguardo.)

Even though she doesn't speak Spanish, or know him well... she's protective of his name. When the detective said his name once, LS sort of corrected her by saying it again the way she wants it said. Edguardo with the powdery, chalky dry wall smell. He looks a lot like her.​

 

[Niner]

Oh my goodness... thank you ALL for posting what is happening in the trial! I tried all the links to watch it - none of them worked for me....

I am trying to figure out "how" to post ALL these tweets so my notes make sense on Friday. A lot to work with.

Again - THANK YOU for the posts!

The first witness called to the stand Wednesday was Jessica Bethel, lead detective on the case from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.

“The suspect providing alternate leads, multiple stories of what happened, ultimately influenced how we proceeded with the case," Bethel testified.

Bethel said she contacted Letecia early on in the investigation regarding Gannon’s disappearance. The detective asked to talk at the Stauch’s home so investigators could look for clues. Letecia did not agree with that request, Bethel testified. Letecia allegedly said there were young children in the home, and she didn’t want them to overhear what they were talking about. Instead, Letecia offered to meet at a Starbucks in Fountain, according to Bethel.

Bethel testified that Letecia was hesitant to talk to detectives at first and “was apprehensive at best.”

The court watched a police interview with Letecia and her then-husband. Letecia told investigators that on Sunday, January 26, 2020 — one day before Gannon disappeared — they went hiking at Garden of the Gods. Gannon said his stomach hurt, so he stayed home from school on Monday. Letecia took off work to stay with him.

Letecia said she and Gannon went and got food on Monday, and then went to Petco. She told police Gannon stayed in the car because he wasn’t feeling well.

At one point, Letecia and Al both said Gannon texted Al, “do we have bath salts?” Letecia said Gannon asked for bath salts the day before, so she gave him a bath bomb.

During the interview, Al said it’s common for Gannon to go play with friends and take his Nintendo Switch, but he was never gone long. At one point Al said, “I’m pretty convinced that something bad…”

When asked what Letecia’s demeanor was like during the interview, Bethel said, “She was calm and collected.” She also added that Letecia’s personality was consistent throughout.

Bethel testified that she spoke to Letecia several times on January 28, 2020 through text messages, phone calls and FaceTime. She said Letecia declined to show up for an interview because her stomach was hurting.

Prosecutors played audio from a FaceTime call between Bethel and Letecia at around 10 p.m. on January 28, 2020.

From previous thread, from @Megnut:
"I am so glad there's no court on Thursdays. I need a day to apologize to my ears."

Great.
I hope to use this phrase, in the future.

I need to find better coping skills. Show of hands those that did NOT have to pop aspirin to make it thru yesterdays video? Omg seriously.
