Starting point is 00:00:30 So he said he was going to his friend's house to play with him. He left it, Three-Berry? I don't know the exact time. This woman is in the midst of lying to police. Just hours ago, she brutally murdered her son Gannon, hid his body in the basement, and called 911 to report him missing. Officers at the scene have no idea what they walked into, and they will quickly find themselves entangled in this killer's twisted lies.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Is there anybody down here? I was nowhere. Okay. So then when I get downstairs, he had one of the guns. I was terrified. He asked me to give him a suitcase. Is Gannon in a dumpster? No.
Starting point is 00:01:10 You didn't hurt Gannon? Did you kill Gannon? No. But this was just the beginning of her lies. Why would I hurt our child? I'd everything in the world. I have no motive. So tell me where he is and let me help you.
Starting point is 00:01:26 I don't know where he is. It's all I can tell you is I don't know what I mean. In the early hours of January 27th, Letitia texts her supervisors at Widefield School District 3, stating that she cannot come to work. Allegedly, her stepfather was killed in a hit and run, and she has to tend to his passing. Nearly six hours later, at 9.56 a.m., Lettisha sends another text to her employers. time, she states that Gannon is sick and she needs to stay home. However, just 20 minutes later at 10.16 a.m., a neighbor's surveillance camera captures Latisha and Gannon entering their red Nissan frontier and driving away. During this time, Latisha would visit a pet co on Nevada Avenue
Starting point is 00:02:15 instead of visiting a doctor to treat her allegedly sick son. By 2 p.m., both Gennon and Letitia returned home. But something was off. Not only did Latisha purchase cleaning supplies applies moments after their return, but backed all the way into her driveway. According to family and friends, Letitia never backed up all the way into the driveway. But for now, only one credible conclusion can be made. The only person last in contact with Gannon was his own stepmother. And oddly enough, she would report him to be missing five hours later at 7 p.m. My son was going to be all at six o'clock, and it's almost seven.
Starting point is 00:02:55 And we went to, like, all his friend's house, he said he was going to be at his friend's house, and they said he wasn't there, and the other said he never came there. So I don't know any other people to call now, and I talk to my husband, so I told him how to call you guys as fast as I could because I don't know anyone else here. He's only a legend. With this call, officers rushed to Letitia's home in an attempt to gather as much information as possible, because every single second, Gannon's trail gets colder. Did he take his bike?
Starting point is 00:03:26 No. Okay, so, okay, because somebody saw a little kid on a bike. They posted it, but I didn't know if he brought it. Well, he didn't, unless he took it sooner and brought it back because Laina ended up getting a bike. What color is the bike? Blue and black? They thought he was in his friend's house. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:41 There's one picture of someone said he was on. Okay. And he was holding, he was making a switch. For someone who just realized that.

Starting point is 00:04:19 Letitia is strangely calm. Not only that, she states with her initial alibi that Gannon was visiting her friend, which is clearly a lie as Gannon never left the home after his return. Undoubtedly, something is very wrong here. But for these officers, Letitia is nothing more than a concerned mother as they continue to search her home. Okay, because you weren't in here in the beginning, right? I didn't know if I had that box cutter and all that stuff in there, because I told him about he dropped the candle.
Starting point is 00:04:49 last night. Oh, okay. And I was, I thought that I must have picked it up. I was just making sure I didn't want you to be like, oh, just a box scares. But yeah, I had to cut this. And I told them I wasn't even going to tell that. And I was going to figure out a way to put this in there from the situation. But at least you got a car. Right. I just took it and like covered up with the carpet and stuff like that. But does he have any friends around here? Um, there is a, let me look at this thing. He did have this one, like, book thing. That's where we're supposed to be at down the road. But they check that already? They went over there and talked to him, and they're like, no, we haven't seen him at all. He did have this, like, a... And you talked to parents, right? You didn't talk to it. Yeah, Conner's mom came over, who is a friend he goes, hangs out with all the time. So they come over.
Starting point is 00:05:37 The people here, the friends, they were just the ones that were the door with the bike. They came over. A bunch of people came over. Keep in mind that officers have not yet completed their house search. They have only gone through the home superficially. it, oddly, Letitia is trying her best to keep them restrained to two sections of the house, the living room where there is a burnt piece of carpet, and Gannon's room. This strange behavior would only worsen as Letitia is committed to keeping the officers where they are.
Starting point is 00:06:05 He forgets to like bring this or bring that or bring this or bring that. You're still a kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So no clothes are missing or nothing. No, we actually lay out all the clothes all the time, like for, you know, like every day at school, We lay out clothes, we do whatever. Is this jacket gone? He had on the, he has several jackets.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Like he might, it depends on, I'm very like fashion. So like, it just depends on jackets. Like, he might have this black one with this or there's a blue one with this. So you got a jacket. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Silver jackets. Like, you see the kid has, you know, like tons and tons of clothes and he just, you know.
Starting point is 00:06:42 He has all that stuff. So. There was a weird text that dad got about. Something about bath salts. Hey, if you, if I can get some bath salts, do we have any bathsoles? And my friend will let me play Sonic or something at their house. He said that too bad. Yeah, and then mom goes through everything, finds a, like a, like a, this partner.
Starting point is 00:07:13 This is the exact moment that officers realized that Lettisha was hiding something from them. It's strange that she randomly closes the door here as if there was something in the basement that she didn't want the cops to see. And her behavior, words, and strategies to deflect the cops from certain areas of the house did not go unnoticed. Consequently, her devices were subjected to a forensic analysis where officers would come across a disturbing video recorded on Sunday, January 26th, a day before Gannon supposedly went missing. Gannon, I promise this the last time I'm going to ask you. I'm just break the help, okay? Are you sure you didn't do it on purpose?
Starting point is 00:07:53 He did it? Okay, he promised. He promised. Pinky promise. Okay, all right. So, listen, we're going to have to sell stuff to fix it. So we figure out what we got to sell. We can sell the sofa because we got to get it fixed, so lady.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Don't be mad at us and kick aside the house. Okay? This video was recorded by Latisha when Gannett. supposedly dropped a candle on the carpet, leaving a burn mark. But the video doesn't show is that Gannon sustained burn injuries on his arms from the candle, and rather than treating his burns, Letitia is hurt scolding him instead. Additionally, during the phone analysis, officers discovered a phone call that Letitia had made to her husband, Albert Stouch, informing him of the situation.
Starting point is 00:08:38 He told me it was just his arms, so I didn't see anything that would have thrown a flag I had to be like, oh my God, emergency or something like that. But if his arms was bubbling, that's not an emergency? Well, it hadn't broke skin, like, it was just underneath. In my mind, I'm like, let's evaluate the situation tomorrow and see or whatever. It wasn't very, burn, very hard. It was bubbly. I didn't see it as a bad thing.
Starting point is 00:09:05 I just knew he was like, it's not hurting. We put aloe on it, and I assumed, okay. As heartbreaking as this call is, the burns described are like, second degree, because of both the freezing feeling that Gannon described and the presence of blisters. Things aren't adding up, and the story so far paints a really bad light on Leticia. However, officers need to verify what really happened, as it was after this incident that Gannon disappeared. That's why, on January 30th, three days after Gannon's disappearance, Lettisha was called in for an interview so detectives could understand the circumstances
Starting point is 00:09:39 surrounding the situation. So Galen had started a candle. Again, he's very, like, or he's thoughtful in terms of, like, if you give him. When the weather cools down, Golden Nugget Online Casino turns up the heat. This winter, make any moment golden

Starting point is 00:10:48 Please play responsibly. I'm thinking, say, do this, this, this, and this, like a list to prepare, it's fine. So we let him, you know, do things like that. So I didn't see a problem with him, you know, light a candle, whatever, whatever, whatever. And Lena asked me, could she stay up and still watch the rest of her iPad or whatever? It was just a birthday and I was trying to give her a little bit extra because we went all out for Ganna's birthday. Like, we took him to a Rockies game. We took friends with him.
Starting point is 00:11:15 It is already strange that Letitia is going on several tangents and prefaceing this entire conversation with the loving relationship she had with her children, especially with her daughter, Harley Hunt, whom she would refer to as Lena, almost as if she wants to say that whatever happened with the candle was not intentional. So it starts beeping. It's like a beep, beep, beep, beep. and I thought that someone was coming in the house. I didn't see anything going on. Then it started saying fire, fire, fire, fire. So there was smoke coming up through the basis. Then I ran back downstairs to get again. And then the fire was on the floor over here, then on the sofa. So I'm
Starting point is 00:11:53 pretending this is the sofa and this is our floor. So it was right here and right here. And I saw the candle that was over here. So there was covers everywhere because the kids always get on about they leave a lot of covers laying around all the time. I take a whole bunch of of them and I go and like like basically smash down on the sofa and the fire to put it out. So I got a burn and then I was like, get up again and started running at that point because it wakes him up. He's alert. He's realizing that the covers and everything's on fire, the carpet's on fire and we all go outside. Essentially what occurred was a freak accident from Ganon. Due to him accidentally knocking over a candle, a small fire had somehow
Starting point is 00:12:34 ignited on the carpet in the basement. This was the the same cut-up section of the carpet that Letitia had previously shown officers. But this was odd. Second-degree burns by just a knocked-over candle, especially on both arms, is unlikely, if not impossible. Gannon would have also had enough common sense to run away from flames. After all, it was a slow-moving fire caused by a candle. If this wasn't strange enough, Latisha begins to recount the injuries Gannon suffered.
Starting point is 00:13:02 But this time, they would be different from what she told Albert. I was scared because my thought process was Albert is going to kill me. Like, because I made a mistake as a parent and forgot to like really check him down. And he really got a little bit more burdened because he said he should have. So I was freaking out because it's like he's going to kill me. And Gannon's like, it's okay. And like there was blood. And like he had on his arms and as it was peeling.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I should have called I should have called the hospital and just asked, you know, I don't know enough about burns, but I should have called the hospital and just asked like, I made a mistake. To quote,
Starting point is 00:13:50 Latisha just said more than he should have and secondly, implied that Gannon was somehow bleeding because of burns, an apparent contradiction to what she told Albert. More importantly, this was a massive slip-up by Letitia, and detectives suspect that this fire wasn't a simple mistake. However, there is no way to confirm this situation as of now, but there is one conclusion that officers can make.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Letitia is lying. When a suspect is guilty, they often make major changes to alibis, as opposed to someone who is innocent and has little variation in their story. In Letitia's case, she changes major details about the candle incident, especially her response which was recorded on her phone, which sets off a series of red flags for the detectives, as they now believe that she might go as far as changing her original alibi about Gannon's disappearance, too, and begin to question her about it. If this assumption turns out to be true, there is a high likelihood that Letitia is withholding even more crucial information. He goes in through the garage.
Starting point is 00:14:50 I go in, I'm getting ready to put up things, stuff like that. As we got inside, I heard something, but I didn't think anything to think about it because I thought, you know, maybe, maybe Gannon was, like, doing something. maybe we were like doing whatever and the guy was in there and I gave him the coat the guy from the yeah it's all my fault because I gave him our code to fix the carpet
Starting point is 00:15:16 and I shouldn't have and then when I walked downstairs I hear something again well at that point in time again it was on the subway and I saw him and I heard something again and I walked on around and he was standing in there he had them gloves in the storage apartment
Starting point is 00:15:31 Yes. Okay. He had one of the gums. Okay. And I was terrified. Okay. And then he just knocked me down and, like, towards Gannon's room. And he was, like, hitting on me.
Starting point is 00:15:44 It was, like, on the ground. Okay. And he was trying to, like, rape me. Exactly as predicted, Letitia's alibi has changed from Gannon visiting a friend's house to having an intruder break into her home. But this would only be the start of her outrageous lies, as, according to her, Confrontation with this stranger escalates.
Starting point is 00:16:04 And I'm, like, pleading and, like, talking and, like, all these things going on. Like, just back and forth with him. And why are you doing this? Why did you hurt us? Why are you doing these things? And then he was, like, on top of me again. And then I kind of light out again because he's hid my head again. Really?
Starting point is 00:16:20 And then, yes. And then he was, like, he asked me to give him a suitcase. And I gave him a brown suitcase. And then he hit me on the head again. And I was like, right here. he just kept like hitting me right there like that. Okay. And so then he did that and then I liked out again.
Starting point is 00:16:37 I was having paid a attack. And then I don't know what happened from there. I really don't. I don't know. I just know that I did lie. I did. When they came, I did say, get and left, whatever. You know that.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Okay. If he never did, he never left to go play. I just didn't know what to do. I didn't want Albert that be like trying to hurt us because we kind of get a lot of fights and I just want you know that's the only reason that I made of the life. A simple way to check whether she has been assaulted is using a sexual assault nurse examiner at a local hospital. These are registered nurses who receive special training to collect forensic evidence from assault survivors. Conveniently, Letitia rejected this examination when
Starting point is 00:17:29 officers offered it to her. Not only that, but even CCTV footage confirms the fact that no one entered or left the stout residence after Letitia and Gannon came home. She likely thought that this poorly planned story would absolve her of any crimes. Fortunately, quite the opposite happened. Noticing these contradictions, police officers handed this case over to the FBI, who gathered CCTV footage from neighbors and came to a harrowing realization. The morning after Gannon's disappearance, Letitia rented a Kia Rio for 24 hours and left the house at approximately 8.30 a.m. on the 28th of January, when the car was returned the following day at 8 a.m. on the 29th of January, it had clocked in 955 miles in the span of one day. This
Starting point is 00:18:15 could mean only one thing. Lettisha had likely murdered Gannon after their return at 2 p.m. and on the morning of January 28th, left to dump his body. While this much is easy to figure out, the exact details surrounding the murder are still not known. This is why one month after Gannon's disappearance, on March 2nd, federal investigators called Letitia in for yet another interview to piece together this confusing puzzle of Gannon's disappearance and possibly his murder. Because of the nature of the warrant, it being a murder warrant, we need to know the real story because you put out quite a different, kind of a few different stories.
Starting point is 00:18:54 I put out to you. You heard a lot of the stories to Al. To Albert? Mm-hmm. The reason I already knew someone was listening to him, but because of him not like being, like, supportive and I tried originally to talk to him
Starting point is 00:19:10 when he first got there, that was the only reason I said this to him was just because I was out of anger and I was, like, heard and not being able to have, like support. It was nothing to do with like me saying those things to him was just being just what is the word you want to call it selfish or rickish or whatever you want to call it. I did have like originally initial different thoughts on certain things and that was me trying to like
Starting point is 00:19:36 basically read him and try to figure a situation. So I understand that you have heard those or whatever you have heard and that's okay because that totally was not. What letitia is referring to hearing are rumors about the friction between her and Albert. Since he was a national guard, Albert was rarely home and Letitia felt he gave little attention to her. This had resulted in instability in their relationship, which Latisha initially denies as being small apprehensions she felt about him. However, when the officer confronts her about odd searches on her phone, she goes into a state of absolute panic. As you know in here, I even have what you entered in your phone, the stuff that you've entered and deleted. Like,
Starting point is 00:20:18 blood is spurting from an arterial bleed, direct pressure not controlling. Do what? I didn't look this up. It's from your phone. Blood is what? Spurting from an arterial bleed. No. Somebody did from your phone.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I don't like my stepson? No. I don't like my stepson. Should I get a divorce? I'll stock cheating. I'll stock Instagram. I'll stock cheating in Colorado Springs. How to get blood out of sheets.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Out of sheet? Right who? I want them, you know? Oh, the blood out of the sheets was because we always have, like, always nosebleeds. If I ever looked at the blood out of the sheet, it's nosebleed. I didn't never look up anything about artery or something unless it went from something else. It's on your fault. And I never looked up anything about my sip center with someone else today.
Starting point is 00:21:09 The searches that the investigator just named would only be a few of the 34 searches that Letitia made between the 25th and the 28th. and the 28th of January, which is the exact time frame that Gannon went missing. Conveniently, she would have an excuse for every single one of them. The reason I brought up gangs is you looked up. I want immunity because it was gang related. And it sounds like me. Find me a new husband. Find me a rich guy who has to take care of his kids.
Starting point is 00:21:40 The new husband is just because Albert already knew that was about the lady Debbie Cheryl who had a who wanted to find a new husband at a 35 or something he thinks to me about Amazon. A lot of these can have nothing to do with this. It doesn't. I get it. I'm doing all the work for my stepkids and their mom doesn't help.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Oh, that bothered me. Yeah. I don't blame. Oh, yes, because I wanted them to be mine. One day, some people will wish they treated you differently, which I get that. Parenting should be four people, not one. What's a suicidal person might say.
Starting point is 00:22:13 I mean, these make me very sad when I read them because I can see you're doing all the work at home by yourself. Which I wanted to be there. Like, I wanted to totally have the kids with my children. That's the point you're not getting. Like, I wanted those kids to be saying to me that I'm their mom. Yeah. Like, I'm the person who does it.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Tears of them, loves them, everything. If these were not incriminating enough, investigators also found 12 deleted search terms in Letitia's iPhone. All of which pertaining to her wanting to find a new husband and being sick of being with Albert. What about what do you do if you suspect a person swallowed poison? Does somebody actually swallowed poison? I don't know. I always click things and read them.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Did somebody swallow it? No one swallowed any poison. You will never forgive me and treat me like a princess. You'll never know when it's too late. Oh yeah. I mean, I always search for things when Albert was gone. What is an altered plea? Did you figure out what an orphan?
Starting point is 00:23:16 Offord plea was? Offord plea? Yeah. I think someone asked me that I probably searched it. Do you know what it is? Yeah. You remember? What did you remember?
Starting point is 00:23:25 I don't remember. I just remember something. Because someone was writing that line, so I, someone wrote something online. I looked at up, just like the other day, someone wrote something about FBI come in or something and I, if I see something online, I always Google. Usually when a suspect undergoes a criminal trial and is found guilty of a crime,
Starting point is 00:23:44 they are given a maximum sense. a maximum sentence. However, there is a legal loophole to avoid this. If a suspect pleads guilty, yet remains adamant that they are innocent, then they are not given a maximum punishment. Instead, they are given a known punishment for a crime. This is known as the Alford plea. But as always, Letitia has a convenient story for a search as incriminating as this, and continues deflecting any and all evidence. Because of this cathartic behavior, the detective decides to reroute the conversation elsewhere. A preliminary, investigation of the house found blood splotches covering the rear of the truck,
Starting point is 00:24:19 Gannon's living space, and even the cut-up carpet. I've seen the markers from the spray. The spray went from the bed all the way up here. Well, you had to clean it up. I don't, I don't know when you think about that. It comes from aspirated blood. Do you know what that mean? No. It means that he didn't accidentally do it. Okay. So that's what we were waiting on for the warrants because somebody struck. Gannon, in the bed.
Starting point is 00:24:46 If someone struck Gannon in the bed, they're, God, we were all drugged in. If that's what you're saying happened. Well, then can you tell me how that blood got on the wall? Sure. That's Gannon's blood on the wall. Okay, well, I guess, sir, do you think you have all the answers? You're making me guess.
Starting point is 00:25:03 I'm not. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not making you guess, sir. It doesn't reflect it does on TV. Have you ever watched criminal minds or profilers? I don't watch any of that stuff, because I don't do bad things to people. Good people. Watch those shows. I don't, but I don't do any of that. I don't do bad things to people. Right now, you're the last person with Gannon.
Starting point is 00:25:22 I don't do bad things to people. I don't. I don't think you do bad things indeed. I don't do bad things to anyone, and I didn't do anything bad to Gannon. I think something bad happened to Gannon, and I don't know the way to get you to tell me about it. When Gannon returned home on the 27th of January, a doorbell camera had captured audio of neighborhood dogs being sent into a frenzy by what appears. to begin in screaming. By 5 p.m., three hours after these screams, Letitia had ordered her daughter, Harley Hunt, to buy cleaning supplies from a nearby dollar tree at 5 p.m.
Starting point is 00:26:04 These included baking soda, vinegar, trash bags, and carpet powder from a nearby dollar tree. The baking soda and carpet powder to absorb the odor of blood and clean minor stains on the carpet. The vinegar was bought to remove deeper stains on walls and act as a disinfectant, and the trash bags to hide Gannon's body. A body that officers had missed by mere inches and had been hidden away in some part of the basement or garage. And every single location that Letitia showed officers, the garage, the carpet, and Gannon's room, were all locations that Gannon had bled in. Not only that, her searches about human anatomy from before, indicate that she stabbed Gannon in the artery, which resulted in arterial spray after
Starting point is 00:26:49 which Letitia desperately tried to clean up the evidence of her crimes. This is also the reason she had backed up all the way into her driveway, as the rear end of her vehicle was filled with blood, indicating that the abuse had taken place prior to them returning home. Knowing that the investigator is catching on to this story, her initial attempts of feigning innocence now turn into desperate attempts to deflect everything that she is told. Why would I hurt our child at everything in the world? Why? I have no motive. None. Don't have the first motive. Everything I wanted in my life. I had it.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Why? Doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make sense a lot of the time what happens inside of the house. I'm sorry, I don't even know what you're talking about. All I can tell you is I did not hurt you. Notice that she used. uses the word motive, which is often terminology that is used by law enforcement when charging a criminal, corroborating the facts that she had done her due diligence about the law in case she got caught, just like her searches about the Alford plea.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Regardless, the investigator knows that there is a limit to how much she can refuse cold hard facts and begins to pressure her even further by promising her that he is more concerned about Gannon's safety rather than her crimes. this or not. It doesn't matter to me. With all the evidence that they have, the reason why it took so long is the district attorney wanted to wait and wait until they made sure they could win in the courtroom. And I've done no body homicides before. They have more on this case than we do on most of them. Okay. If you have what you need, why do you keep asking you? Because our goal is to find Gannon. Our goal is not to prosecute you. That is the district attorney's job. We're
Starting point is 00:28:43 investigators. And like you've just seen, I do a poor job about half the time because I have to guess. Because as much as we tried to track you with your cars and your phones and whatever else, there are gaps. We do have, like I told you, the blood in the house, we do you know about the board that was thrown in the forest? Leticia. Oh, look. The story is you what? presented to the board that has gained blown on it that was thrown in the forest. Okay, so I...
Starting point is 00:29:14 All right, so what? You got your DNA on? Presented with such overwhelming evidence, a suspect would usually crack under the pressure and allow themselves to be arrested. In Letitia's case, however, not only does she keep refuting everything that detective has to say, but even goes as far as accidentally giving him
Starting point is 00:29:31 even more incriminating information. The blood that you or your team allow people to be in the house. That has no bearing on this. Okay, well, if it doesn't, then okay. It doesn't. Okay. Are you ready to tell me the last during you sung in? Maybe check one of them because...
Starting point is 00:29:49 I bet you they can tell me the last time they sung Gannon. Even though it was one before, I bet I don't can tell you the last three of Saldan. Even though he didn't know that was going to be the last night, I guarantee you he's got an image again. Did you go to the last one looking at Lettisha? Okay. Now, Letitia has just agreed that she was the last one. last person who saw Gannon. Not only this, but throughout this interview, she has also admitted to Gannon's injuries, blood locations, and motives. With all of this information that Letitia
Starting point is 00:30:19 herself provided, this was less of an interrogation and more of a confession of murder. Letitia was a broken individual. She cast aside her husband and two children because of two major reasons. One, Albert's job in the National Guard made her resent. him and wish she was married to someone better. Two, her extreme inferiority complex towards Gannon's biological mother, Landon Bullard. It was later found that during the candle incident, Gannon had wished for his mom to be present, which sent Letitia into a psychotic break, and she attempted to mask a murder in the form of an accidental fire.
Starting point is 00:31:00 This failed attempt only added fuel to the fire, so the very next day she called in a vacation from work and spent the day brutally murdering Gannon and erasing any traces of her crimes. With these findings, there was no escape for Letitia. And eight days after this interview, she was officially arrested for her crimes. And while being transported to a county jail, out of pure frustration and insanity, she turns to the only other option she has, becoming a fugitive. Tisha, she keeps threatening me.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Stop. Well, she keeps threatening me. Stop. Stop it, Tisha. She keeps on threatening me. I have stopped me. She keeps on. She got out of the streets.
Starting point is 00:31:53 She keeps on. Threatening me. I am. Put your arm down. I will for you. She keeps your arm down. Put your arm down. Put your arm down.
Starting point is 00:32:01 What she keeps threatening me the whole time. Tisha? No. I went with you. I said, I wouldn't do you. And give me your arm now! I said I went with you. I said I would with you. I said I went with you.
Starting point is 00:32:18 I'm just asking to breathe. That's it. Just to breathe. So I don't want to do to breathe. You're hurting my arm. My phone is jack. You're hurting my arm. You're hurting my arm.
Starting point is 00:32:32 I just want my arm. It's hurting my arm. Just let my arm out. It is ironic that Lettisha complain. about not being able to breathe, about how her arm hurts and how she's uncomfortable. Yet, when she did even worse to poor Gannon, she was filled with nothing but ecstasy and couldn't help but laugh in the face of the officers. Even more tragically, the circumstances that Gannon's body was found in
Starting point is 00:32:54 would prove that his death was not instant. It was slow and painful. On March 17, 2020, 49 days after his murder, a maintenance worker found a suitcase under Escambia Bay Bridge in pace. Florida, 1,300 miles away from the Stouch home, and inside was Gannon's body. Autopsies done on the body showed high levels of acetaminophen and hydrocodone. While these are generally pain medications, hydrocodone was never prescribed to Gannon. It was prescribed to his father, Albert Stouch, who kept the prescription hidden in his nightstand,
Starting point is 00:33:30 the location of which only Letitia was aware of. This means he was forcibly drugged to reduce the pain of his injuries. possibly in an attempt to fuel Letitia's sick fantasies. However, this was not the end of it. A gunshot wound in his jaw meant that after Letitia had her fun, she ended his life almost immediately. For nearly two months, Latisha was well aware of all these crimes. When she was finally put to trial, phone calls would be shown in court with Letitia begging Albert to stop cooperating with investigators so she could get immunity.
Starting point is 00:34:06 I need to know something about my son. I need to know something about Gannon. Do you know if he's safe? Do you know, is he safe? Where is he at? Do you, I mean, do you have anything? If I killed Gannon, really? What about this?
Starting point is 00:34:19 I'm trying to think of any way to cue the police to offer you immunity if they can, okay? They'll try to give me. He's criminalized me for this. I need immunity. I think they give it to you because this is big that he was there and they missed it. Because then they're going to want to cover their shit for not finding him. Regardless of these desperate attempts, Albert continued to cooperate with authorities to convict Latisha of her crimes. Three years later, on May 8, 2023, Latitia's trial concluded a life sentence in prison without parole plus 156 years.
