“So, I don't remember the order of how we all ran out the house, but I know at that point I did... she ran out and I can't remember if I ran up to make sure they got in the truck or if she ran out by herself, I don't remember that part, but I do know that they were... they had gotten in the truck. I came back inside, run back downstairs and that's when I was trying to get Gannon, because I couldn't get... I didn't know how to get everybody at once, so, (inaudible) to get the front people out, you know, and then go.. then I ran back downstairs to get Gannon and then the fire was on the floor…….”
Word salad ad nauseum.
Letecia’s description of escaping the house on night of the fire is so convoluted. I hope we hear both Laina and Harley’s version. She manages to make it sound like they were dozens of people in the house. Was Harley even home? I thought her room was on the lower level with Gannon’s.
Then we have…
“So there
was covers everywhere because the kids always get em out and leave a lot of covers laying around, all the time.
I mean there's like 10 quilts and LOL's and blankets and all this. So, they were all right here, so, I take a whole bunch of them and I go and like, like, like, basically smash down on the sofa and the fire to put it out.”
Murphy here, man I’m old
. Had to google “LOL’s”, they are children’s blankets and throws, usually weighted and with a theme. So, she is saying she had piles of blankets basically and used them all to snuff out a fire.
Shortly after in the same conversation…
LS - Like, he had a cover on, because he was sleeping on the sofa.
LE - What was he covered with?
LS - What do you mean?
LE - What kind of blanket... you'd mentioned there was LOL's, there was quilts.. what blanket was he using?
LS -
Errrr I'm not sure,
there was a couple that were there. There was a black... there.. I put them all back in that bin that was sitting... did you see...?
LE - I've never been in the house.
LE - Okay, there was black it was like a little furry.. there was (
inaudible) ones, I don't remember specifically which one he had, but I know there was blankets in the area because we always (
inaudible) mermaid one around, but the whole operation of when I grabbed em and put it out, I grabbed em all and
done it.
LE - Okay. All right. Were any of them, like, damaged whenever that happened?
LS - Oh yeah. I left them all there and when I showed them that night that, you know, like, they were damaged or whatever.
So she left them all there, and no smell? Seriously? How did we go from 10+ to a couple?
Followed by...
So I got a burn and I was like, you know, Gannon started running at that point, because it wakes him up. He's realizing that the covers and
everything's on fire, the carpets on fire and we all go outside. So, we get in Albert's truck and we drive and I drove off in panic, because I saw that I put the fire out, so, I knew that there was no, you know, like nothing wrong, like it wasn't gonna keep going
. I drove off in panic because I was like 'oh my gosh, what do I do now?”
like 'oh my gosh, what do I do now? Like any adult in America would do, call 911. I know of no one, who would believe the fire, as described was subdued and over.
Smoldering and smoke just instantly disappeared?
So, Letecia (AKA hero) is in Al’s truck with 2 dogs, Gannon, Laina and Harley and anyone else
