Gannon’s parents have entered the courtroom. Seeing some blue eyeshadow, and some somber faces. We were just told if we leave the courtroom we will have to stay out. Planning to only leave the room for recess.

Hope they have bladders of steel!

Judge says they will give her another chance to join in tomorrow, but for now, #LeteciaStauch is out. She left the hallway.
@4thJudicialDA
is now saying he objects. Judge Werner says he hasn't made his decision on whether or not she can actually do that.

[LovesPeace2]

Ughhh since when does the evil witch make the rules the judge needs to put her in her place jmoo

 

[Gardenista]

She can't face what she did. I wonder if she'll even show up for the trial.

 

[Cindizzi]

The DA asks that Letecia's decision not to attend constitute a waiver of the entire preliminary hearing. Judge denies that request and says the hearing will go forward without Letecia.

So #LeteciaStauch didn't want to show up in court, so her attorneys tried to appear on her behalf.
@4thJudicialDA
asked she be here in person. Judge is mulling it over now...

Judge Werner saying "They are going to submit evidence, don't you want to hear that? Or see that?" "I have faith in my attorneys" He's now explaining this meeting could change the bail situation in the case, (unlikely). She says she doesn't care

Sgt. Yoder says a flyer was brought to his attention: #GannonStauch. "There were some similarities between the picture and the actual body. Dental features, height, weight, approximate age," says Sgt. Yoder. He's never seen a body from another state in his jurisdiction.

Yoder said clothes on the body lead them to identify it as a male, they guessed it was someone 9 to 14-years-old. Said there was an imprint in the ground consistent with someone dropping the suitcase off of the bridge by an emergency pull-off area.

Yoder said they went on the missing persons database and saw pictures of Gannon. Noticed similar dental, height and weight features.

The body had a fractured skull, a gunshot wound to the jaw, two stab wounds on the chest and back and other sharp force wounds, Yoder said. That body was confirmed to be Gannon's by DNA evidence, Yoder said.

The gunshot wound was to #Gannon's lower left jaw area. There was a projectile recovered from his skull. That was sent to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office. During an X-ray, two projectiles were found in a pillow.
