Hi Everyone,
(PLEASE DO NOT DISCUSS DONATIONS ON THIS THREAD. CLICK HERE FOR DISCUSSION)
Websleuths is very expensive to run. Most months we make enough to pay for the server, pay the IT guy, and a bit of money left over for me for some bills or food. This way I can keep Websleuths free for everyone.
There are months when this is not the case.
I recently pre-paid the server fee and almost all I owed our IT guy. I knew the money coming in for the month from advertising would not cover the bills but I thought I had another revenue stream coming in so I wasn't worried. That revenue stream didn't happen.

Basically, I need donations to cover the server and what I owe the IT and a bit extra for my groceries.

I have provided Websleuths free for almost 20 years (since 2004) and will do my best to keep Websleuths free for members and visitors.

This month we need 2700 dollars to keep Websleuths running. I don't know what next month's ad dollars will be. Hopefully, you won't be hearing from me.

Let me stress if you cannot afford a donation please do not send anything. I understand times are hard.

When we reach our goal I will announce it and stop accepting donations. It is urgent however that we raise the money as fast as possible.

Please use PayPal Pay Websleuths.com, LLC using PayPal.Me
If the PayPal link does not work for you go to www.paypal.com and put in the email [email protected] and you can send a donation that way.

Thank you everyone for your help.

Yes I immediately caught the part of the Detective describing the clothing. When he said athletic type pants and DA Allen asked him if they had a stripe down the side and Detective said yes.

Isn’t that what G was wearing in the neighbors surveillance footage when he gets in the truck with her?

I’m real curious about the Switch too! The AA was written on February 28, 2020 and says LE hadn’t found it at that time.

Nice catch on when the AA was written. So I guess it was February 29 then.

I remember there being much speculation at the time as her sister was an insurance agent selling life insurance policies, but I don't believe we ever got conformation that one existed from any acceptable source. JMO


I personally believe she hit him in the head the night of the candle video, and that he had a severe concussion the next day when we see him struggling to walk to the truck.
I also think this was the catalyst for the murder. She hit him too hard and she couldn't get out of it, so she had to get rid of him and make it look like he ran away.

Unfortunately for her she is completely incompetent and totally lacking in self awareness, and didn't realise she doesn't possess the intelligence needed to pull off such a hideous crime and get away with it. Even highly intelligent criminals would struggle.

All JMO

This. 100%

It's been ages since I've watched that video but (re: the bolded above about his athletic pants), this sure does sound accurate. Hopefully someone can link it?

Particle board is typically sold in two sizes: 8X4 and 4X4. Many people have an 8X4 segment where they park their car, so as not to leak oil or fluids onto the garage floor.

One thing particle board always is: it's flat. It's not a beam or 2X4 or anything else easily converted into a smashing weapon.

IMO. I imagined it as the way Tecia protected her vehicle from the body fluids and then dragged Gannon to where ever it was she put him first. A makeshift sled.

IMO.

Excellent tutorial. Thanks!

Question: In the candle fire video shown in court, was Laina’s voice heard? Iirc there was audio/video posted of Laina saying “you hit him in the eye” or something similar. Thanks. MOO

In the video I saw, yes, you could hear her voice but I don't recall seeing her. Also yes, something about his eye. No link of course just my memory.

You can see Laina at the very beginning of the shorter video (the one that has a lot blacked out) she is in her bed. Jmo

Today I'm listening to the phone calls (as opposed to just reading the tweets here) and man oh man, I want to pull my hair out after less than 10 minutes. Letecia's soooo screechy and strident - every little thing she says she says it like she's urging Al into a storm cellar during an F2 tornado. IOW, everything is urgent and earth-shattering. She yells instead of talking.

I could never, ever be her friend let alone be married to her. How did she manage to snag Al?

It makes a big difference to actually hear it.
I listened to yesterday's hearings twice, I heard more things the second time.. things I'd missed.
I'll refrain with tremendous willpower from answering your question...
You know?

Imo, At the beginning of the video, she is briefly visible and her voice is heard saying “why” right after tecia says “don’t know what to do”.
JMO I don’t hear anything about hitting an eye.

The surveillance at the link below isn't as clear as earlier videos but I remember thinking Gannon looked very lethargic walking out to his dad's truck. I feared he'd been drugged.

Eta: that link does not have the Roderrick Drayton surveillance cam video. Sorry! It seems like it has been removed from all the MSN articles.

I've probably spent more time asking myself those exact questions than I ever should have.

The only answer that makes sense to me is that he just never saw her at THIS level of flaming cuckoo.
Yes, he knew she was manipulative, and yes he knew she had some anxiety issues but I think like most spouses that don't automatically think the absolutely nutbag worst of their spouse, he likely just assumed he'd already seen the extent of who she really was (without even really thinking about it).

I also think, at some point during these pretext recorded calls, AS finally saw the real LS, and was likely livid, when he did. Which might explain the loads of F-bombs in the later calls.

Do you have an approved link?

Took a while to find an approved source- and it’s pretty dark.
I slowed it down and grabbed a couple of screenshots.
I can see the stripe on the side of pants leg.

Well, they met and yada, yada, yada, and softball, and yada, yada, yada... He mistakenly thought she had a way with words. ​

Thank you. I can't see anything on that video but maybe others can.

If Letecia has DID how come she isn't switching between different "protective" personalities since the trial has been so stressful?

Oh wait...

Oh wait...

Yeah her DID is the equivalent of Fucci seeing demons on his phone call. Her excuses sound like a 3 year old explaining why they have chocolate all over their mouth.

Thank you Cindizzi and Seattle 1 for the trial reporting. <modsnip>
