CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, found deceased, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *Arrest* #59

I find Mr Allen very personable, he puts witnesses at ease amd I really like his style of questioning. I find Mr Young hard work, I feel like he treats his own witnesses like he would a defence witness, and sometimes he seems quite irritated.

As for the defence, Mr Cook just sound ls like he really can't be arsed, which in fairness I can understand but it's not professional imo.

I really like the lady they have on the prosecution team. My apologies, her name is escaping me at the moment.

Letecia tells her don't open. Harley didn't open the door for the police. They knocked on the door she said.

I haven’t followed this super close but from reading the posts I imagined HH to be a mini LS, I was honestly expecting her to be a hostile witness. After reading the thread today & now watching it, I was totally wrong. Harley herself seems to be a victim of LS, her whole life. So sad. LS destroys everything and everyone around her

Do we know if HH and AS remain in contact? I would assume not, just curious.

This is the night after #GannonStauch disappearance. She talked to her mom on the phone after 7 pm that night, Harley says Letecia told her not to talk to police.

She told her to leave Laina alone in the house

In CO, in January, the windows were open.

Only to the basement, though, right?

I'm only getting bits and pieces because Work.

"She had called me and told me to leave the house. She tried to get me to leave Laina there"

I agree. But I hope he bolts her hands to the table instead of putting her in the holding area. Because that is where she wants to be instead of in the courtroom.

Perhaps they could just tie her hands in burlap sacks and let her make all the finger gestures she wants inside the sacks. IMO she would like to be bolted to the table....it would give her some cred amongst her jail buds.

LS trained HH like a dog. How else can we expect HH to act with a mother like that. Conditioned to do a, b & c because if not, x, y & z may happen. Ugh

At around 10 pm, Harley opened the garage and detectives were out there and asked where she was going "My mom told me to tell them I was going to Starbucks and I told them that."

Harley is back on the testimony stand talking about text messages and conversations with her mom on January 28, 2020.

Knowing what Harley now knows, and hearing how controlling LS was towards her, and how inappropriately LS involves HH in her adult drama, I sort of wish LS HAD been removed from the courtroom for her bird flipping antics, at least temporarily, so that Harley could answer these delicate questions without her mother being RIGHT there. I understand LS has a right to be present, I'm just saying, as I hear more of HH's testimony, I imagine it must be intimidating. Did I hear her say she has not seen her mom in person since she was arrested? Has she said if she had any contact with her mom?

 

[LaineyJ]

She told her to leave Laina alone in the house

So the 17 year old had to be the responsible person and say no. Geez.

Detectives arrived at the home.

LS texted her to not open the door to them.

She got a call from a no caller id number from a detective, she did not answer, they left a voicemail. She forwarded it to LS.

Called her mother. LS reinforced her not opening the door. HH obeyed.

Tried to call her mother back a few times. This went on for about two and a half hours. When she thought they might have left, LS told HH to leave the house and leave Little sis behind. HH was uncomfortable with this, so LS told her to take Little sis and go to a friend's house. Cops were there when the garage door opened. Gave them the story LS told her which was she was going to starbucks. Was reluctant to answer more questions because she was 'so confused'. Was confused about whether she was allowed to leave.

LS said "I want my dogs and you."

“She (Letecia) had called me and told me to leave the house. She tried to get me to leave Laina there. And I told her I didn’t want to. I didn’t feel comfortable doing that,” said Harley.

 

[cujenn81]

I've noticed the judge has been watching LS like a hawk all day, and she hasn't removed her hand from her chin/mouth area.

Harley said she opened the garage door as she was about to leave with Laina. She said detectives stopped her outside of their home. “They asked me questions, and I answered it… I didn’t want to talk. At this point I don’t know what’s going on... I’m just so confused.”
