The only good thing about today was seeing how absolutely freaked out she was about getting caught.

After more than four weeks of testimony, El Paso County prosecutors called their final witness, Kevin Clark, on Monday in the murder trial of Letecia Stauch, who is accused of killing her 11-year-old stepson Gannon.

Clark, a former crime analyst for Colorado Springs police and current investigator with the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, spent the entire day on the witness stand, the majority of which was spent reviewing the prosecution’s timeline of events.

However, the most significant portion of testimony came at the end of the day when Clark reviewed numerous Google searches made from Stauch's phone before her arrest.
[…]

District Attorney Michael Allen pointed out that defense attorney Will Cook and Stauch had been looking at the Google searches on a laptop and laughing during much of that testimony.

"I don't know what's so funny over here, judge," Allen said to Judge Gregory Werner, referring to Cook and Stauch laughing at the defense table.

[…]
Clark also went over an extensive alleged timeline of events from the investigation, starting with the day before Gannon was reported missing, Jan. 26, 2020, and ending with the day Gannon’s body was found in Florida, March 17, 2020.

The timeline acted as a summary of the prosecution's case against Stauch, and the significant facts presented up to this point in the trial.

[…]
After Clark’s testimony Allen told the court that the prosecution is prepared to rest its case Tuesday morning, when the defense is expected to call its first witness. Josh Tolini, Stauch’s defense attorney, said defense expert Dr. Dorothy Lewis and Dr. Ronda Niederhauser, Stauch’s doctor before her arrest, will testify for the defense.

Bet she was mad that her fundraiser didn’t net enough for a full face transplant and paying an immigrant to take the rap.

Ok I need highlights of the day please. I’m caring for my mother who has Alzheimer’s, so haven’t had time to watch a thing.
The witness spent most the day validating the data, ping by ping from the day before Gannon's death until the arrest. He tied in Letecias calls, Al calls,Harley calls and Letecias vehicles pings, to make the whole picture tie together. He included text messages verbatim which LS sent that directly contradict what she stated. (Shocker :)) On some of the text she pretended to be Harley.

What was somewhat new was the reveal of all the searches at the end, after she was back in SC. The subjects...from how to a get a face transplant, how to change my SS number, how to have a mexican cartel member call me, how often are highway bridges searched under? etc, etc, .....she basically wrote her own confession in detail.

I'm betting, No more than 2 hours including the paperwork.

Address of drug cartels...
What she was running from is horrendous, but I have to laugh at how stupid and incriminating her search terms were.

Heart Hands! Thank You for posting it, @Cindizzi. I missed seeing that. I hope it was for Harley's B-Day. I think Letecia knows her ship is sinking fast now.

Aww, a heart shape from the person who killed her stepbrother and didn't hesitate to throw her under the bus.

You just google them . I am sure that is how Gannon got the directions to his friends house.

Did anyone else catch this this morning?

When he was reading the texts between LS and AS and between LH and LS when AS and LH were trying to get to Colorado, there was a text she sent Al that said “ don’t forget I told you that Gannon wrote Sorry for Everything last night. I want to make sure I get everything in there.”

She didn’t say WHERE Gannon wrote this of course and Prosecution didn’t ask more about it. Obviously another lie.

I think she wanted to make sure Al repeated it to the Police.

And she told him that she had told Landen, made sure she told her EVERYTHING.

My Gawd she was torturing them. Never seen such evil.

I think she said Gannon wrote it in his notebook, but I don't know if she meant an actual book or a computer? I think she must have meant a book, because if Gannon had a laptop, I think we would have heard about it.

So she knew the suitcase didn't land in the water it sounds like.
To be blunt, I'm guessing that at four in the morning, it was quiet enough for her to hear that it made a thump, not a splash.

If you had not done it before ,how would you know what sound you were listening for ? After you let control of it go ..your listening for the ending. T was praying that that sound was the end. No one knows what the ending sounds like ,but it is easy to make believe your at the end and to believe you heard the last of it . Unless you have been to that end before...

I caught that, and I’m convinced she forced Gannon to make that cell video where he’s sorry about burning the rug. She hit him, he bled, she filmed him to make it seem HE did something wrong - when it was HER that ruined the rug by hitting him and making him bleed. She probably burned the rug herself when she couldn’t hide the blood. Then Gannon was, of course, concerned about his burns and his head was probably hurting too. He was going to report it to his father and mother, so LS eradicated him.

Monster.

I think Dr Lewis needs to rethink her involvement in all of this.

OMG!

I think she thought she was over water. If you think you're over water, IMO, you're expecting a splash.

The discovery site was maybe ten, fifteen metres/yards max? below the elevated road she dropped him from.

The suitcase was heavy, and hit a hard, irregular surface. It would have made a thud.

And with this kind of disposal, it's common. Evelyn Colon, her killer missed the water too. She was also in suitcases, plural. Her and her baby wound up on the bank. I think I saw a true crime show where either a body or a bag of evidence landed on a sheet of solid ice in the middle of the river after an attempt at disposal. Nothing the perps could do, they couldn't reach it to retrieve it. There was a case I read about in an Ann Rule book where someone tried to throw a gun into a river off a bridge and it landed on a sandbar. I don't even know if it got wet.

The factors here are that people are acting in haste, they're trying to be covert, and they're often doing what they're doing under the cover of darkness. She wasn't from Pensacola, she didn't know the bridge intimately, or she would have known that there's never water under that bit of road (per some Florida locals from way back on the threads around time of discovery). She screwed up.
