CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, found deceased, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *Arrest* #63

[Tealgrove]

Met with LS for an evaluation that lasted 3 hours and 40 minutes. She only met with her once. LS is very verbose and likes to expand on her answers, so the interview took a long time. Witness had concerns about LS's prior testing due to invalid results.

Upon meeting LS, she was humming to herself. Her expression of emotions didn't fit with her actions. She said she was talking to a vampire.

How come I’m not surprised. SMH

"I wanna come back to the vampires..."

I bet none of you expected to hear that today, eh?

Talking about the difference between competency and sanity evaluation.

She received the court order for evaluation, the previous evaluation, and discovery on the case including the interviews and phone calls.

Talking about how competency and sanity aren't in the DSM, they are legal terms.

She does a clinical interview to determine if they meet the threshold set out in the statute for competency.

She has to know a lot about the case to be able to assess competency.

She met with LS in Dec 2020.

She met with her for three hours and forty minutes. (She says it went for that long basically because LS loves to talk.)

She begins with a notification of purpose. She explains that she is not there to help, there is no confidentiality, then she checked that LS understood, she did. She made complaints about a conspiracy from her attorneys, but understood.

She's talking now about 'inconsistencies' in LS's original testing.

She did not see signs in LS of a severe mental illness.

LS 'engaged in some behaviours', humming, seemed too happy, put her head on the wall, talked to 'a vampire'.

The previous testers administered a PAI and MMPI-2/2R. Explained her test results suggested she was giving answers that suggested she was trying to 'inflate' the answers. It was 'uninterpretable' due to the answers given. Therefore the test results could not be relied upon.

Talking about the notes from the jail. Was on one med when the witness saw her. Consistently showed no behaviour that suggested serious mental illness. Mentions the kites which were incoherent, but did not match her behaviour.

She also reviewed the jail calls LS made, where she was having conversations with people she knew, not jail staff or inmates.

We're back to the vampires.

Jail calls. Some inconsistency between who she was talking to and what she was saying. Claiming to one person she was doing badly and losing her mind. Next call, same day, was to HH, coherent, telling her how to manage money, etc.

Ahhh so she did have contact with Harley. I wondered about that.

What was the vampire saying? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[Yellow Rose]

Holy smokes! What else Tecia?

 

[Jw192]

As someone who is diagnosed with bipolar 1 - bish get the f outta here with your 5 minute manias

 

[Yellow Rose]

Lots of nicknames but not a single family member remembers her ever using a single nickname.

 

[arielilane]

0% to 1% people have DID - its a rare mental health illness.

She wants a reassessment. lol

Invalid responses by LS on the MMPI (personality inventory) led to uninterpretable results. The answers provided on the test were unreliable.

LS was taking one anti-anxiety medication when the witness met with her. Staff notes in the jail noted that her behavior didn't match the incoherent kites she sent.

Witness reviewed jail calls to observe her behavior in a natural context outside of the medical setting to look for consistency. One or two calls included several statements about vampires. She would call someone and say illogical things that didn't make sense, and then she would consecutively call her daughter and give clear instructions and advice about how she should manage her finances.

LS mentioned she had bipolar disorder and briefly discussed trauma experienced. The first competency exam offered a rule out diagnosis of bipolar disorder, which means there wasn't enough evidence to say one way or the other. The witness was able to rule out bipolar disorder based on LS's descriptions of mania. She described being hyper and experiencing mania of periods of time lasting several minutes to hours -- which is not a symptom of bipolar disorder.

She selected names -- Taylor, Jasmine, Tecia, Casper -- based on things she liked. People with DID don't choose their alters names. DID is very rare -- the number of people with DID is somewhere between 0 to 1%. People with DID typically have a long history of mental health treatment because they don't know what's happening to them.

Just goes to show how incredibly stupid Tee really is.

If she wanted to feign incompetency, talking to vampires is not the way to go. Once again, over the top, too much, ridiculous, beyond believable.

I mean, who feigns mental illness by pretending to talk to vampires? How beyond silly is that?

Right…this is Leticia we’re talking about.

Unreal.

MOO

 

[arielilane]

Attorney Young chucked. Love it! lol moo

He's tried of the lies too. Now vampires.

 

[Kiranerys]

She always wants people to THINK/ACKNOWLEDGE that she was genius material when in reality she speaks in what I consider a low to moderate lingual aptitude. I was a language arts teacher and she sounds much less educated than my 4th or 5th graders.

LS said she was introduced to a vampire called Justice. Justice, Jasper, or possibly Patrick. She said she met with the vampire in her cell by pushing a button. She said she was first introduced to vampires while living in Alaska. She then directed the witness to the movie Twilight and the vampire council in the movie.

(Jasper is the name of a vampire in the Twilight series, BTW.)
