Good news and bad news. The good news is that the phone calls we've been listening to aren't all as long as today's. Bad news is there's not enough time to start another today.

Recess and Jurors leave the courtroom.​

REMINDER: #LeteciaStauch has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity meaning....she killed Gannon Stauch. All these stories she told when Gannon was missing, lies. Can the defense convince the jury she didn't know right from wrong when she killed him?

There's no way.
The fact that she immediately cleaned up to cover up what she did, points directly at knowing right from wrong.

Who is Uncle Matt? Al doesn't know either! He never heard of him. T had lied that Gannon went freely with an Uncle Matt. There wasn't even an Uncle Matt that Al would believe as real. ​

Yeah, Uncle Matt has never met... Uncle Matt.

I've never had a migraine but if I had to imagine one, it would be whatever this just was.

Break is over. Call recording from February 13th 2020 is playing again. Should be another hour

Letecia saying she called the security company because the alarm was going off. She says there's a sensor on garage door. Al questions that. Now she's saying she was actually saying there was no sensor that she said it too fast.

Had to quickly leave the stream to work on 4pm story. I am back!

Letecia is talking on the recorded about a man having a gun. "I was in complete shock thinking Gannon was hiding."

Letecia on call is telling Al Gannon freely went with someone named Uncle Matt

Letecia getting upset on call saying she begged the sheriff's office to look into a car that was on the side of the house. "Nobody helps me."

Al tells her he's asked neighbors to look at their surveillance and no one has him leaving the house with someone named Uncle Matt.

Al tells her on call "all of this account is blowing my mind. We don't see him leaving, the gun isn't in the house, i'm just trying to figure this all out."

"I feel like they've barked up the wrong tree for two F***ing week Albert." She asks Al "Do you think I did this?" and he said "Tecia Stauch, I don't know.”
"You think I don't want my life back, you think I don't want my family back." Letecia on call to Al

"You have got me on trial for all of this" Letecia says to Al in recorded call when he's asking follow up questions about Gannon picking his fingers and scabs.

"This is where I get angry, people talk all this s*** and they don't even know him." Letecia upset in recorded call following her asking if she told police about a nosebleed Gannon had in his truck back when they lived in Alaska.

She's now crying on the recording call. Al says "Letecia, I don't believe you killed him but did something happen and he's no longer with us?" "I can help you get through this but we got to get the information to help Bubba....you were the last one to hear him speak.”

"You don't think for a second that someone came in the house and took Gannon," Letecia said to Al.

"Put yourself in my shoes. What would you do if this was Harley." Al says to Letecia. She replies "I would have my husband and children together on the phone and we'd be praying and I'd tell detectives I support my husband."

"I'm asking you to stay with your wife and your daughter" Letecia to Al on call

First call just finished. Al is now walking back up to stand to answer questions about it.

Al says at the time of this call, he did not know Letecia's location.

Al said during these calls, something would happen where the call would drop a lot.

Day two of this trial is going to end 20 minutes early because the second recorded call is 30 minutes long. Day three will start tomorrow with the next FBI recorded call at 9 a.m.

No! But he is doing a good job of making her think he is. IMO

OK, this is what I want to know. So, during phone calls AL believes LS is responsible for disappearing GS. Is he cooperating with LE and FBI at this point?

 

[Curious Me]

There's no way.
The fact that she immediately cleaned up to cover up what she did, points directly at knowing right from wrong.

Well, she only cleaned the light switch. She told Al she didn't clean up anything "bad", just near the light switch. ​

The neighbor (RD) allegedly sold a copy of his surveillance to MSM (after a copy was given to LE) for $5K. This per LS to discredit the video surveillance and any info circulating from their neighbors.

ETA: add link for subject surveillance

Video appears to show missing Gannon Stauch, 11, leaving with STEPMOM

Gannon Stauch was reported missing on January 27, and his stepmom Letecia Stauch, told police the last time she saw him was between in their home in Lorson Ranch, Colorado Springs.

If that’s accurate, how could the neighbor sell the video to a media?

Who else wants Mr Cook to fall off his chair?

Comment of the day thank you for the laugh out loud.

 

[PawneeDew]

That's right because didn't the defendant send them to Al saying he was home from school sick? We know he's still alive, although injured, because we see him walking to the truck from the house later.

I always thought that was edited by LE. I don't know why I thought that. Didn't the news reporters get ahold of and show the video before LE wanted it released?? (The video of Gannon supposedly 'walking' to the truck....) Anybody here remember that??

I just wanted to thank you for these updates. I'm watching it live (as much as I can) but even then I miss stuff so it's good to see it here as well.

Yes, these calls were working with the FBI - hence them being recorded. There is an agent next to him most likely giving him questions to ask (which imo was pretty apparent at some points).

Exactly. Not to mention how insulting the NGRI defense is when it's treated by LS's defense as if mental insanity works like a light switch that can be flipped on and off at will.

The jury will see sufficient evidence of LS before, during, and after the crime and can decide for themselves.

IMO, I think this is also why LS's defense first motioned to attempt to seek an NGRI defense only for the period following the murder and/or during the coverup/disposal of Gannon's body (alleging the DID was now responsible). MOO

I am unable to watch but I can read on here. Thank you all for keeping me up to date. Appreciate you!!! What an awesome group here for Gannon!

Thanks so much for clarifying. This helps a lot. While I've followed this case, I wasn't aware of Al's role in the investigation.
