Play.
He's pressing hard that she actually remembers and just doesn't want to answer him.
LS: "Blah blah blah... I've been nothing but respect with you."
LS: "If I took you to Gannon right now, you would still say, "that's not him.""
Next bit.
Witness: "You've spun stories and deflected questions your whole life, and it's not going to serve you in this case."
LS: "Gannon and I are very close."
He's pressing her hard about the blood. She's saying 'the people in the house' are responsible for that.
Witness: "Last image on your head of Gannon?'
LS: "Walking."
Witness: "Towards you, or away from you?"
LS: "Away."
Silence. Long long silence.
Witness: "Do you have any questions for me? Have I not asked any questions I should be asking you?
Long silence.
He questions her again, she asks to go to the bathroom.
Pause.
She went to the bathroom. He doesn't think they return to this interview room.
Witness says dodging questions and spinning stories a calculated move n her part.
Play.
Witness is telling her about the arrest warrant, about her being extradited. Asking her if she has anything else to tell him.
I think she asks: "Would you let me go if he's alive?"
End.
Witness says there was an off camera discussion in the hallway. She said in a very small voice that she and him should go to North Carolina. When asked if Gannon was in NC, she didn't answer.
He's asked if he has any regrets about the interviewing style. Looking back, he thinks maybe talking more about the QB angle, she may have disclosed more detail. The portions not played were consistent with and had nothing different to what was played. She did not disclose severe mental illness, childhood sexual abuse or abusers, or hospital commitment.
She understood the gravity of the seriousness of the charge by her ability to evade questioning going down the line to being damaging towards her, incriminating. Calculated move on her part. Did not observe personality changes, Spanish accent, or demand to be called by other names.
End prosecution.

Agent Grusing says No Little Lucia, No Maria Sanchez, nor any of the others showed up. No Spanish speaking Letecia then, the whole time.

IMO, LS aligned with the school of Barry Morphew -- no body, no crime. I also think LS was determined to dodge and spin for as long as Gannon remained undiscovered in the suitcase. I think LS believed the non-discovery/recovery of Gannon was her ace in the hole.

I hope he says sociopaths often refer to themselves in the 3rd person.
The interview ends and Letecia and Grusing walk outside of the room.
Grusing testified saying, “Right outside the door... She said something in a small voice about North Carolina that I couldn’t hear. She said she and I should go to North Carolina. And I asked if Gannon was in North Carolina, and she didn’t answer.”

Grusing testified saying Letecia knew where different lines of questioning would go, and what would be damaging for her to answer truthfully. His testimony ended by acknowledging Letecia never changed personalities, talked in a Spanish accent, or wanted to be called other names.
Accused child killer #LeteciaStauch refused to answer a former FBI agent's question about the last time she saw her stepson, #GannonStauch, alive before he allegedly disappeared. "I saw nothing negative," said Stauch, who is accused of murdering the boy.

Self-absorbed people talking in the third person about themselves has happened before with other people Agent Grusing has had to interrogate. No, he does not see that as a mental illness symptom. It was no surprise to him that Letecia was doing that. He came away with a certainty that something had happened to Gannon.

Edit by me: the medication LS was on was Lorazepam, not Alprazolam.
At the very beginning of this interview she told Grusing that she couldn’t take her Alprazolam ( Xanax ) because she was 8 weeks pregnant.
Then she told him she had had 4 or 5 miscarriages.

Cross examination is underway for Grusing. Will Cook, Letecia’s attorney, asked about Letecia referring to herself in the the third person. He said this was not that unusual or odd to him.
During cross examination, Grusing was also asked how many stories Letecia told about Gannon’s disappearance. He said there were about five to 10 different stories.
