The amazon box and vinegar bottle all matched Gannon Stauch's profile too.

Some of these items had two contributors, and were a mixture of unknown profiles. However, the major male profile matched Gannon Stauch.

Minogue's testimony is going very fast in confirming all the items tested and which items tested positive for DNA and blood.

People's Exhibit 503 cutting from the top of the carpet matched Gannon Stauch. Later, the witness confirmed the padding matched Gannon's DNA too.

Now, she is confirming the board that was tested. Then, on to the Nike shoes. Left shoe had a male contributor. The right inside sole had two contributors-- Letecia's and ?

Where did we hear before his blood was inside her shoe??

So this is that carpet that was rolled up and hidden right?

Manogue said buccal (cheek) swabs of Gannon’s father, Al Stauch, and mother, Landen Hiott, showed a 99.99% likelihood that they were the biological parents of the person whose DNA was found on a toothbrush, known to be used by Gannon.

Maybe T's ace in the hole is that she only has partial, indeterminate DNA. And, like we suspected, she isn't human.

She's got the DNA of a monster.

Cross.

Asking about mixed samples. Wanting to know about the minor profiles. Witness confirms she compared all the known samples in the case against the mixtures.

Now he's trying to imply that maybe they didn't test things speedily enough? I don't know why he's focussing on the Amazon box; that was Gannon single source across the board.

The samples she had were for LS, AS, LH, and Gannon. Not Little sis or HH.

We get an early mark! No more witnesses today. Jury told they are not allowed to go home and google what septillion means. :D

Jury leaves.

Talking about Wednesday, now. Starting 10:30, Wednesday. I assume due to the weather? Dr Torres will be on the stand on Wednesday. Two other witnesses are local. No idea about impact of the weather on jurors.

And we're done!

And we’re back. Next witness is Sherrie Homes, a forensic serologist + DNA analyst with the CSPD Metro Crime Lab. Holes is here as an expert witness in body fluids, specifically related in the investigation of Gannon’s disappearance.

Holes is going through several boxes of packages containing items, like Gannon’s toothbrush, sections of carpet or Nike sneakers believed to belong to Letecia Stauch, that reacted positively to blood tests. She’s also explaining swabbing and chemical test practices.

Holes is holding a large pink suitcase and is showing jurors how she swabbed it for blood/DNA analysis. I can’t see the inside of the suitcase from here, but it seems the jury should be able to see visible stains inside the suitcase.

Next witness, CSPD Metro Crime Lab DNA analyst Donna Manogue, is now going thru those same objects - also including scrub brushes, bedsheets, a blanket inside the suitcase - confirming that those blood tests matched Gannon’s DNA. Cells from inside the shoes matched Letecia.

Manogue said buccal (cheek) swabs of Gannon’s father, Al Stauch, and mother, Landen Hiott, showed a 99.99% likelihood that they were the biological parents of the person whose DNA was found on a toothbrush, known to be used by Gannon.

Once Gannon’s body was found in Florida, a femur bone sample showed to match the DNA on the toothbrush. A separate analysis of a rib bone, done by a Florida analyst, also matched. This created a more solid picture identifying the remains as belonging to Gannon, she said.

That concludes today’s portion of the trial. Jurors will be back tomorrow to hear 3 witness testimonies for the prosecution.

Court dismissed for the day early. Someone that is attending in person to the trial called into Recovery Addict's channel says Letecia's hair is greasy disgusting looking in person. She's shackled to the chair with an electric shock belt on under her top.

This is the 5-page list of about 150 potential witnesses that have already been called or may be called by prosecutors to testify in the Letecia Stauch murder trial. District Attorney Michael Allen said 7 more witnesses will be testifying before they're finished their case.

We’ve learned who a few of the prosecutor’s witnesses are who still have to testify this week: - FBI Agent Kevin Hoyland - Dr. Jackie Grimmett with the Colorado Mental Health Institute in Pueblo - Dr. Loandra Torres with the Colorado Mental Health Institute in Pueblo
- Dr. Christine Mohr, Larned State Hospital, Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services

Here is the notice of endorsement of witnesses by Letecia Stauch's attorneys: - Dr. Ronda Niederhauser, UCHealth Memorial Hospital We expect to hear from Dr. Niederhauser late this week.

Sherrie Holes, a forensics serologist, testified saying a piece of carpet, electrical cover, scrub brush, empty vinegar bottle, an Amazon box, and a shoe believed to belong to Letecia Stauch, all tested positive for presumptive evidence of blood.

Holes said the shoes had a strong cleaning oder. She said the pink suitcase with a blue blanket inside, also tested positive for presumptive for evidence of blood. Fingernails from Gannon Stauch also tested positive for presumptive evidence of blood.

Donna Monague, the next witness to be called to the stand, developed a DNA profile from Gannon Stauch’s toothbrush.

Monague testified saying the carpet, outlet cover, electrical socket, carpet, scrub brush, Gannon’s bed, pink suitcase, blanket from suitcase and the Nike shoe that all tested positive for presumptive evidence of blood, all matched Gannon Stauch's profile.

The amazon box and vinegar bottle all matched Gannon Stauch's profile too.

Some of these items had two contributors, and were a mixture of unknown profiles. However, the major male profile matched Gannon Stauch.

No more witnesses will be called today. The murder trial for Letecia Stauch will resume tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.

How did T manage to keep her DNA out of the mix? No bleeding, gloves?

Seems the most damning is his blood on her shoes.

I mean it's all damning but the shoes bring the DNA profiles together.

Why can't the minor profile be determined?

There was no sample to compare it with. She only had samples from LS, Al, Landen and Gannon available to compare.

Did Mr Young ask if there was any foreign dna under the fingernails?

It seems odd to me the DNA of both girls in the house wasn't collected to rule it out of the samples. I wonder why that wasn't done?

Court is out early for the day. I’m going to put on a comfort show, spend some time playing on my switch, and think of Gannon. Goodnight lovely folks, see you all tomorrow.

I missed that.

Wow.

Wow.... and why did they not compare to T, ever?
