CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, found deceased, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *Arrest* #61

[Tealgrove]

I wonder if this video was shown to HH in November. Is this what eventually showed her the reality of what her mother had done?

 

[iamshadow21]

Now explaining Gannon cut his foot, and she threw a piece of wood into the back of the truck. Says it happened Saturday, no, Sunday. The blood was on the 'fine African wood' and she decided not to clean it.

Said she didn't even bandaid it, just put toilet paper on it.

Claims she never used the shop vac. Except when they did spring cleaning. Emphatic.

Foot wasn't bad, burns weren't bad. Now he's asking her about the head wound.

Talking about how she made it up to get back at AS.

Witness: "Do you know how that sounds?"

LS: "Oh well, he just made me mad."

She's saying the clean up in the room had nothing to do with a head injury. Refuses to explain it. Insists Gannon is alive.

Wrote something down.

Pause.

The witness says she wrote in his notebook: "The head wound was on Saturday and had nothing to do with this."

Play.

Witness asking her about blood found in the back of the Tiguan.

LS claims it was from giving first aid for Gannon's foot.

Witness: "It was too much."

Witness: "Do you know how that looks?"

LS: "It looks like I need help and you won't give it to me."

Next bit.

Witness: "Did someone else injure him on Saturday?"

LS is going on about how he isn't going to accept what she tells him, same misdirect she uses on AS.

LS is asking now if they have ways for them to pull up info from apps. Won't give the name of the app.

She's trying to wrest control back. Trying to control him. Asking to only talk to him alone. Offering complete co operation if she can control the situation. She has just said she loves Gannon more times in the last two minutes than in the entirety of evidence so far. She's asking for immunity without saying the word, IMO. Wow, she is laying it on thick, trying to mirror him "from a mother to a father".

"I did not hurt Gannon at all." She seems to think this is a negotiation. That she has bargaining power. That's she's going to get her deal and walk away shiny and free. She seems to think she's roped him.

 

[GRT]

"misdirection"

That's her middle name.

 

[Megnut]

Truly, in her heart....

She wants somebody who will believe her....

Yeah, that ship sailed, Tboat.

 

[MyJoey]

She wants him alone with no one watching .

 

[steeltowngirl]

She’s always referring to her missing stepson as “the situation”.

Former FBI agent Jonathan Grusing questioned accused stepson murderer #LeteciaStauch about some of her web searches, which included not liking her stepson, divorce and how to clean blood.

*I'm way behind

What in the crackhead hell is this pregnant cash belly Mexican money laundering story.

I've followed many cases throughout the years. This story she is telling takes the cake of most bat**** unbelievable nonsense I've ever heard. Pretty sure she is not working with a full deck of cards.

The only insane thing she is, is insanely stupid.

 

[LaineyJ]

For clarity, upthread @iamshadow21 caught the searches more exactly

Blood is spurting from an arterial bleed"
"I don't like my stepson"
"I don't like my stepson should I get a divorce"
"how to get blood out of sheets"
"I want immunity"
"Find me a new husband"
"Can I spraypaint blood"
"I'm doing all the work for my stepkids"
Lots of: "hit and run"
"My husband wants a divorce"
"My husband wants a baby but I want a divorce."
"Quotes a suicidal person might say"
"What do you do if someone swallowed poison."
"You'll never forgive me and treat me like a princess."
"You'll never know when it's too late."

Thank you for that.
Do we know if she searched all of this around the time of the murder - or may these just be relevant searches she made over a longer period of time?

WTH is this “treat me like a princess” thing? Ugh.

 

[tmar]

This is great. He is confronting her with her cell phone searches.

I'm waiting for the moment when LS admits to murdering Gannon.
Wonder if Grusing will get her to admit to the murder!

 

[LaineyJ]

She’s done a whole lot of talking but it’s all been “Me, me, me. Gannon who?”

Seriously. Imo she doesn’t even care about HH all that much. Based on how she treated/abused her. All she cares about is herself.

 

[Warwick7]

He's saying if she needs protection, they can provide it.

She is resisting giving any information.

She's looking at the things she signed and saying that 'it says here, I'm allowed to have someone with me...'

He points out that if she 'let something happen to him' she's just as responsible as who actually did it.

He's talking about his experience now. He's reassuring her he doesn't think she is a bad person. That something bad happened, but she hopes 'that if I do this or this or this, something will save you'. He tells her it won't.

He's telling her he's seen all the evidence and no one else was there.

"I would not, did not..." She's claiming he's made a 'predetermination'.

He tells her that if there was a shred of evidence, there was anyone else, they would be looking at them.

I think she's thinking she's calling his bluff?

"I loved Gannon with all my heart..."

"What you're saying to me is that you think that I hurt Gannon."

She's trying to run the same distraction game on him she ran on AS, minus the screeching. She is playing against the major leagues and she is running the same BS one-note garbage. It's all she's got.

BBM
I call this an embedded confession.
:0)

 

[Curious Me]

Next bit, confronting her with her web searches.
"Blood is spurting from an arterial bleed"
"I don't like my stepson"
"I don't like my stepson should I get a divorce"
"how to get blood out of sheets"
"I want immunity"

"Find me a new husband"
"Can I spray paint blood"
"I'm doing all the work for my stepkids"
Lots of: "hit and run"
"My husband wants a divorce"
"My husband wants a baby but I want a divorce."
"Quotes a suicidal person might say"
"What do you do if someone swallowed poison."
"You'll never forgive me and treat me like a princess."
"You'll never know when it's too late."
I might have missed some but...
So, so many BOOMs.

Thank You so much, @iamshadow21.
That is such a damning search I bolded. Gosh, Jurors are going to reading all those, and it just doesn't sound like insanity. MOO, it sounds like nasty, evil, spiteful, scary, dangerous, murderous stepmom now we know after the fact, murderer looking for alibis.​

 

[wyome]

She wants him alone with no one watching .

LOL She honestly thinks she's won his trust. 100% delusional tool

 

[Derph]

Show of hands.
Who takes your child on a hike with a bleeding foot?

With stomach issues!!!

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how she can sit there and say she can't say anything about where or what happened to Gannon when he has her dead to rights! He is asking for just a single thread of help for a missing 11 yr old boy! How does she think that by not saying anything that it's going to help her stay out of prison for the rest of her life?????!!!!! She has done NOTHING to aid in the search for Gannon so what kind of warped thinking is that? The mental gymnastics needed to sit there with a strait face thinking that THIS is the best strategy to avoid responsibility for his death is staggering. Just staggering!!!

None of her stories and none of her actions make the remotest amount of sense to any person with a reasonable amount of intelligence. She's either a complete idiot or she is so delusional that she isn't capable of living in the real world besides other human beings. Since she went to such great lengths to throw everyone off and convince everyone that she had no part of this, and since she went to such trouble looking up all the things she did in her Google searches, and since she went to such great lengths to hide Gannon's body, then there is no question in my mind what is going on here. She's not insane. She's a complete idiot. I'm frankly amazed she has been alive this long.

 

[heartandsoul]

Seriously. Imo she doesn’t even care about HH all that much. Based on how she treated/abused her. All she cares about is herself.

She believes it’s Letecias world and everyone is there to benefit her. HH included.

 

[GRT]

She's completely delusional.

She actually thinks she has a shot of convincing the agent of her lies.

I don't know how he keeps from jumping up and choking her.

 

[wyome]

Seriously. Imo she doesn’t even care about HH all that much. Based on how she treated/abused her. All she cares about is herself.

I agree. Her daughter's dead to her. Based on this trial alone, I'm confident she hasn't had a true, unconditional love with anyone in her life.

 

[Soulmagent]

She believes it’s Letecias world and everyone is there to benefit her. HH included.

HH is very lucky that T seems to not resent her. Other wise Harley would have probably been her scape goat.

 

[GRT]

Her attorneys look so weary.

How awful to get stuck defending LS.
