- 3:51Speaker 1: and also Dave Matt Crime online dot Com investigative reporter. Okay,
- 3:55Speaker 1: I want to start at A and then go to
- 3:57Speaker 1: ZE first. I want to hear the mechanics of how
- 4:00Speaker 1: this little boy somehow goes missing. Dave Matt give it
- 4:04Speaker 1: to me in a nutshell, repeat nutshell. On January twenty seventh,
- 4:09Speaker 1: Titias Stock says Gannon. Whoa, whoa, whoa? I I d
- 4:14Speaker 1: for me. When you say, Titia Stock, that is Gannon's stepmother. Correct,
- 4:20Speaker 1: she lived in the home with him and his father. Yes, no, yes,
- 4:24Speaker 1: ma'am Okay. Stepmother Titias Stok, calls police when Gannon ostensibly
- 4:29Speaker 1: does not come home after going to a friend's house.
- 4:33Speaker 1: When police set her down to get a statement find
- 4:36Speaker 1: out what happened, she said that Gannon left their home
- 4:39Speaker 1: that afternoon between three pm and four pm to walk
- 4:42Speaker 1: to a neighbor's home to play. Okay, stop right there,
- 4:46Speaker 1: I'm gonna come back to you. Dave Matt with me,
- 4:49Speaker 1: Dave Mattcrime online dot Com investigative reporter. Okay, Cheryl McCallum,
- 4:53Speaker 1: Director Cold Case Research Institute, you've heard of these free
- 4:57Speaker 1: range children. Now. I was a free range child because
- 5:02Speaker 1: both my parents were at work all day long. My
- 5:05Speaker 1: dad at the railroad, my mom at a canning plant.
- 5:08Speaker 1: So when we got home from school, we got ourselves
- 5:11Speaker 1: in and after we did homework, I would take off
- 5:14Speaker 1: on my bike and I wouldn't come home till I
- 5:17Speaker 1: heard the chimes and the church steeple, or my mom
- 5:20Speaker 1: or dad on the car horn. Okay, that was a
- 5:23Speaker 1: signal to come home right now. So we were raised
- 5:27Speaker 1: that way. But it's not like that anymore to just
- 5:32Speaker 1: have your child walk to a friend's house and then
- 5:36Speaker 1: you don't know when they're coming back, and then they
- 5:38Speaker 1: don't show up and you have no idea what happened.
- 5:41Speaker 1: I know the Free Rangers are going to get mad
- 5:43Speaker 1: at me, Cheryl McCullum, but that's crazy talk. Well, the
- 5:47Speaker 1: other issue here, Nancy is he's supposedly stayed home sick
- 5:52Speaker 1: from school that day. So if he had been sick
- 5:55Speaker 1: all day, as soon as the other children get home
- 5:58Speaker 1: is usually not when any pair is going to let
- 6:00Speaker 1: him go play. Well, if he was sick at home
- 6:04Speaker 1: from school, why did he go to a friend's house
- 6:07Speaker 1: much less on his own? Dave Matt Crime Online pick
- 6:10Speaker 1: it up right there. So he walks to a friend's
- 6:13Speaker 1: house and when it's time for him, did he have
- 6:15Speaker 1: a set time to come home? He did? He was
- 6:17Speaker 1: supposed to home by about he was supposed to be
- 6:19Speaker 1: home by about six pm. And okay, and he did.
- 6:22Speaker 1: That's when the alert went out. Is that dark at
- 6:24Speaker 1: that time, Jan twenty seven, I would assume that six
- 6:27Speaker 1: pm is starting to get dark. Yeah, it would already
- 6:29Speaker 1: be pitch dark. Actually, so I went down about five fifteen.
- 6:33Speaker 1: You know that Mountain time zone just zone that time.
- 6:38Speaker 1: But so he doesn't show up, and right, he's not
- 6:41Speaker 1: home at time, and so when out when Gannon's father
- 6:45Speaker 1: Albert gets home and Gannon's not there, stepmom says, well
- 6:49Speaker 1: he went play, they called police, and the police they
- 6:53Speaker 1: treated as if Gannon is a runaway. Do you want
- 6:56Speaker 1: to address something? Cheryl mentioned that he was home sick
- 6:59Speaker 1: from school. That does kind of play into this whole thing,
- 7:02Speaker 1: because Danny should have been in school that day, but
- 7:04Speaker 1: he wasn't. He stayed out of school. Interesting. Interesting home
- 7:08Speaker 1: sick from school to Jason Oceans veteran trial lawyer joining
- 7:14Speaker 1: me out of New York. Jason, you have two children
- 7:18Speaker 1: that you've managed to raise up and they're past thirteens.
- 7:24Speaker 1: I mean, I remember when they were this big, but
- 7:27Speaker 1: now they're grown. What happened? Did you let your children
- 7:32Speaker 1: or did your wife let your children just leave and
- 7:35Speaker 1: go to friends and come back. I'm not gonna judge
- 7:38Speaker 1: you if you did, But did you? Nancy? I had
- 7:41Speaker 1: the same experience as you did. The call for me
- 7:45Speaker 1: back was my father's whistle. I can't whistle like he did,
- 7:49Speaker 1: but my god, he could whistle with his fingers and
- 7:53Speaker 1: just did you just say good right here? Don't don't
- 8:00Speaker 1: don't drag him into this, please for Pete's sake. Okay,
- 8:04Speaker 1: back to what you were saying. So you could run
- 8:06Speaker 1: wild how I came home as we did. But what
- 8:08Speaker 1: about your children? No, you couldn't do an environment this
- 8:14Speaker 1: double ell. No, so you would take them to wherever
- 8:18Speaker 1: they were going or walk with them right or you
- 8:20Speaker 1: know it absolutely because there was fear based on social
- 8:25Speaker 1: media and everything else information. You know, you just don't
- 8:29Speaker 1: want to do that, and you check in, hey did
- 8:31Speaker 1: you get there? Or you're following them on the phone
- 8:33Speaker 1: if they have one. Oh, let me tell you something
- 8:35Speaker 1: that was one of the biggest decisions. It nearly tore
- 8:37Speaker 1: our family apart, Cheryl McCollum. Do you remember it was
- 8:41Speaker 1: on their eleventh birthday. I broke down and gave them
- 8:44Speaker 1: cell phones. I did not want to do it, Cheryl.
- 8:47Speaker 1: I told you this story because I think predators getting
- 8:50Speaker 1: to children through their cell phones. But a friend of
- 8:53Speaker 1: our's son, who knew he could dance and play music,
- 8:58Speaker 1: was gonna be in the marching band at a football game, Cheryl.
- 9:01Speaker 1: And so we went to this foot high school football
- 9:05Speaker 1: game and I got to this stadium and the children
- 9:10Speaker 1: did not come back. After twenty minutes. I let them go,
- 9:13Speaker 1: and I started looking for them, Cheryl. All these parents
- 9:16Speaker 1: were tailgating at a high school football game. They were
- 9:20Speaker 1: out there drinking, and hey, I'm not the church lady.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Drink all you want to. But I know, Cheryl, that
- 9:27Speaker 1: adults do things adult males, particularly when they've been drinking
- 9:31Speaker 1: in their inner crowd, they wouldn't normally do on their own.
- 9:34Speaker 1: And Lucy and John David were going. I found them,
- 9:36Speaker 1: but I swore that night I would get them a
- 9:38Speaker 1: cell phone too early, or I did. Do you remember that.
- 9:43Speaker 1: I do, and I remember you and I talked about
- 9:45Speaker 1: it because that was one of the decisions for me
- 9:47Speaker 1: with my children, you know, playing sports and being in
- 9:50Speaker 1: two different fields at the same time, and you know,
- 9:53Speaker 1: spitting the night with friends. I wanted them to have
- 9:55Speaker 1: a way to get me if they needed me. So
- 9:58Speaker 1: I made the same decision you did when they were
- 10:00Speaker 1: much younger, to let them have a cell phone earlier
- 10:03Speaker 1: than well. It also helps when you're stalking your children,
- 10:06Speaker 1: because you know, they just played with their band at Disney. Hello.
- 10:11Speaker 1: So there was David, you know, telling them like four
- 10:15Speaker 1: cars behind, driving down behind. But I had the life
- 10:21Speaker 1: three sixty so I could follow them all around is
- 10:23Speaker 1: I did not follow them. I went and watched them play,
- 10:26Speaker 1: and then I left to a discreet distance crime stories
- 10:40Speaker 1: with Nancy Grace. Guys, we're talking about a little boy,
- 10:46Speaker 1: eleven year old Gannon Stouch. Thank you for being with
- 10:51Speaker 1: us here at Fox Nation in serious XM one eleven.
- 10:55Speaker 1: I want you to take a listen to something I
- 10:56Speaker 1: find very intriguing. Let me just call intriguing. Take a
- 11:01Speaker 1: listen to our friends at KKTVCBS eleven Spencer Wilson. I'm
- 11:05Speaker 1: just ready for Gannon to come home, most importantly for
- 11:09Speaker 1: him to see his family. But second, I am going
- 11:11Speaker 1: to be so ecstatic when I'm able to say to
- 11:14Speaker 1: people that I hope they have a really sincere apology
- 11:17Speaker 1: for all these series that have came out online, for
- 11:20Speaker 1: all the things they said that I have done or
- 11:22Speaker 1: people have done. And I just want everyone to know
- 11:24Speaker 1: that we're going to find Gannon. And I love him
- 11:27Speaker 1: so much. I've helped taking care of him for so
- 11:29Speaker 1: long you're talk to me a little bit about him.
- 11:31Speaker 1: I don't know him. Gannon is so kind and he
- 11:35Speaker 1: loves to play video games. That's one of his favorite things.
- 11:37Speaker 1: He loves Sonic and Mario. And you know, he's always helpful.
- 11:41Speaker 1: And he was always so helpful with the dogs around
- 11:44Speaker 1: the house and we have two little key dogs, and
- 11:46Speaker 1: he was always like a person. I could say, Ginna,
- 11:48Speaker 1: can you go do this? And he would do it
- 11:50Speaker 1: right away. You know, sometimes with kids we have to
- 11:52Speaker 1: remind them and things like that, and that's okay. But
- 11:54Speaker 1: he was so sweet and able to help anyone. He
- 11:57Speaker 1: could notice when you're sick and say are you okay?
- 11:59Speaker 1: And such a kind heart. Did you hear that? You're
- 12:03Speaker 1: hearing this stepmother Letitia's stouch. You know what, You just
- 12:09Speaker 1: can't change your nature. You can't. And I used to
- 12:15Speaker 1: tell jury's a story enclosing argument about mister Froggy mister Scorpion.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Scorpion comes up to Frog and says, hey, can I
- 12:23Speaker 1: ride your back across the river and mister Scorpion says no,
- 12:27Speaker 1: you'll bite man, I'll die. As Scorpion says, no, I
- 12:31Speaker 1: want because we both go to the bottom of the river,
- 12:33Speaker 1: and we'll both die. Froggy thinks it over and gives
- 12:36Speaker 1: him a ride. Halfway across, mister Froggy feels a pain
- 12:40Speaker 1: go down his arm, and as he's sinking to the
- 12:43Speaker 1: bottom of the river to die with Scorpion on his back,
- 12:46Speaker 1: he said, why did you do that? For now we
- 12:48Speaker 1: both will die, and mister Scorpion says, I can't help it.
- 12:53Speaker 1: It's just my nature. To doctor Daniel Bober Forensics, like
- 12:57Speaker 1: Hizra's joining me out of Florida. Did you hear the
- 13:01Speaker 1: stepmother start talking about how she Gannon's missing, and she's
- 13:06Speaker 1: talking about she wants an apology and starts referring to
- 13:12Speaker 1: Gannon in the past tense. She begins, he is, he is,
- 13:16Speaker 1: he is, and then she switches to he was always
- 13:20Speaker 1: so helpful, he was so sweet. Did you hear that, Bober? Yeah,
- 13:25Speaker 1: I heard it, Nancy. I mean any situations, you know,
- 13:28Speaker 1: you always start in and you work your way out.
- 13:29Speaker 1: So it definitely is very concerning, for sure, Doctor Bober,
- 13:34Speaker 1: you sound like a psychiatrist, and I don't mean that
- 13:37Speaker 1: in a good way. Right now, you said it's concerning.
- 13:43Speaker 1: The boy is gone, the stepmother who was with him,
- 13:47Speaker 1: that Day is worried about herself getting an apology because
- 13:52Speaker 1: people have questioned her child rearing, her child rearing tactics.
- 13:57Speaker 1: She's worried about an apology when her child is missing.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Don't make me tell you the story about when John
- 14:04Speaker 1: David went missing and babies or us, because I will
- 14:07Speaker 1: I did not care who looked at me in my
- 14:09Speaker 1: horrible outfit, in my old tennis shoes, screaming for John
- 14:14Speaker 1: David to lock the doors. I couldn't find him. I
- 14:17Speaker 1: didn't care what anybody thought. Why she's so worried about
- 14:20Speaker 1: an apology. Yeah, I mean, at the very least, it
- 14:23Speaker 1: seems like her priorities are a little bit misplaced. At
- 14:26Speaker 1: that point, I can say, you're a tough nut to crack, Bober,
- 14:28Speaker 1: I see that right now. Well, you know what, Jeff Cortesi,
- 14:32Speaker 1: former FBI special agent, you've seen it all. What do
- 14:37Speaker 1: you make of what step Mama is saying? She wants
- 14:39Speaker 1: an apology? And this starts speaking about the child in
- 14:43Speaker 1: the past tense. You remember when Scott Peterson did that
- 14:48Speaker 1: she was amazing. He said that about Lacy and I
- 14:52Speaker 1: went berserk. Why would you talk about this child in
- 14:55Speaker 1: the past tense? Yeah, No, absolutely, Nancy. I mean it
- 14:58Speaker 1: jumps right right out at you. When as soon as
- 15:00Speaker 1: she starts speaking very odd behavior, immediately talking about herself,
- 15:05Speaker 1: she's very kind of comfortable, doesn't seem as concerned at
- 15:09Speaker 1: least over the audio version, and then speaking of the
- 15:13Speaker 1: young man in past tense, those are all going to
- 15:16Speaker 1: be it's not even a young man, he's a baby.
- 15:19Speaker 1: He's eleven years old. Eleven years old, I guess that's
- 15:23Speaker 1: the fifth grade, maybe the sixth grade. Okay, I want
- 15:27Speaker 1: you to hear more of what step mom says. Take
- 15:30Speaker 1: a listen to KKTV CBS eleven reporter Spencer Williams. Do
- 15:34Speaker 1: you feel like these are just internet detectives who think
- 15:36Speaker 1: they know what they're doing? It definitely is. And you know,
- 15:39Speaker 1: here's the thing that kind of saddens me. It's like,
- 15:41Speaker 1: if you're going to talk about someone like that and
- 15:43Speaker 1: have a witt un out for them, why would you
- 15:46Speaker 1: even care like about doing those things? Because this is
- 15:50Speaker 1: a child. You're telling me that you're just as mean,
- 15:53Speaker 1: you're just as hateful to talk about someone else like that.
- 15:57Speaker 1: That's how I feel like we just should not we
- 16:00Speaker 1: should all come together and wait until the end and
- 16:02Speaker 1: see what happens, because Gain's going to come home. Any
- 16:06Speaker 1: message for gaining the message for Gannon I have is Gannon.
- 16:10Speaker 1: When you get here, you'll be able to truly tell
- 16:12Speaker 1: what happened. And then I really hope I get a
- 16:15Speaker 1: sincere apology from everyone who has made all those things,
- 16:20Speaker 1: especially from my husband. Okay, Cheryl McCollum, Director cole Case
- 16:24Speaker 1: Investigative Research Institute, that's quite a mouthful, Okay, Cheryl McCollum.
- 16:31Speaker 1: You know what. I know that there are lie detectors.
- 16:35Speaker 1: I know that there are behaviorists that watch the movements
- 16:41Speaker 1: the eye blinks, the movements of the mouth, the phraseology.
- 16:48Speaker 1: That's what they do their experts. But after putting I
- 16:52Speaker 1: don't know how many would you say, three or four
- 16:55Speaker 1: or five thousand witnesses on the hot seat? You can
- 16:59Speaker 1: tell when someone is all about themselves. And in this case,
- 17:04Speaker 1: all she's talking about she's not crying, she's not upset,
- 17:08Speaker 1: she's not begging the public for help. She's talking about
- 17:10Speaker 1: getting an apology. And that disturbs me. Cheryl McCollum, Oh,
- 17:15Speaker 1: it desturbs me. She has clearly made U all about her.
- 17:19Speaker 1: She has not asked for the public to help look
- 17:22Speaker 1: for him. She has not pleaded for somebody to return him.
- 17:26Speaker 1: She has not said anything tearfully to him, like I
- 17:30Speaker 1: love you or we're waiting here for you. She just says,
- 17:34Speaker 1: oh yeah, he's gonna come. My only what he does
- 17:36Speaker 1: all he gon apologized to me and Nancy's my you know,
- 17:40Speaker 1: barometer for this whole thing is always Elizabeth smart family.
- 17:45Speaker 1: When she was missing. Remember her daddy and all of
- 17:49Speaker 1: his brothers said, give us lie a texture, come take
- 17:52Speaker 1: our DNA, whatever you need to do. They wanted law
- 17:58Speaker 1: enforcement to do the job they had to do, but
- 18:00Speaker 1: ultimately look for her. Get me off your list and
- 18:04Speaker 1: go find my child. You're absolutely right, that's what Ed
- 18:07Speaker 1: Smart and all of his male relatives did. I always
- 18:10Speaker 1: think about Mark Klass. Mark Klass, his daughter Polly went
- 18:15Speaker 1: missing from her mother's home. She was having a spend
- 18:18Speaker 1: the night party that night, she had several little girlfriends
- 18:21Speaker 1: over and Polly goes missing out of her own bedroom.
- 18:27Speaker 1: And the first thing when Mark Klass found out, you know,
- 18:29Speaker 1: within an hour, he immediately said, take my fingerprints, check
- 18:34Speaker 1: out my alibi. Whatever you need me to do, I'll
- 18:37Speaker 1: do it so you can move on and start looking
- 18:40Speaker 1: for Polly and looking for the person that took her.
- 18:43Speaker 1: That's the gold standard right there, right there, and that's
- 18:47Speaker 1: not what I'm seeing. Back to you. Hold on with
- 18:50Speaker 1: me now, Lee Egan, crime online dot Com investigative reporter
- 18:54Speaker 1: who has been speaking with the stepmother who I guess
- 18:58Speaker 1: Lee would she would call you sporadically? Is that correct? Yes, Nancy.
- 19:02Speaker 1: She would call me from Actually she never gave her
- 19:06Speaker 1: phone number. She would call from an email your ID
- 19:09Speaker 1: for Pete's sake, no caller ID. It would come up,
- 19:12Speaker 1: no caller ID. Interesting, she blocked her number somehow. She
- 19:15Speaker 1: wouldn't let me have seven, just so you know, go ahead. Yeah,
- 19:20Speaker 1: and she whatever she did, she made sure that I
- 19:22Speaker 1: didn't have her number. But she would call me and
- 19:25Speaker 1: we did speak in depth and she did give quite
- 19:28Speaker 1: a mouthful. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, guys, thank you

- 20:04Speaker 1: the finger at her because of her Let me just
- 20:06Speaker 1: say child rearing tactics. Back to yugli Agan Crime online
- 20:10Speaker 1: dot Com investigative reporter, what are some of the things
- 20:15Speaker 1: a stepmother told you? Well, Nancy, she started out telling
- 20:19Speaker 1: me exactly what she did that day, Monday, January twenty seventh.
- 20:25Speaker 1: I'm curious what did she do? She said that she
- 20:29Speaker 1: took him to go to play it against. Remind you,
- 20:33Speaker 1: he's homestick from school. So you confirmed that with her
- 20:37Speaker 1: that he had been homesick from school. Well, what was
- 20:40Speaker 1: his ailment? May I ask? Stomach ache, nausea issues. He
- 20:44Speaker 1: was pooping in his hands and then he had bounced
- 20:46Speaker 1: between diarrhea and constipation at age eleven. Angelish She said
- 20:52Speaker 1: it was from medication. I guess side effects from a medication.
- 20:57Speaker 1: But then she added that he's always had these issues,
- 21:00Speaker 1: so it's one or the other. But either way, she said,
- 21:03Speaker 1: he was sick stomach ache, so she brought a white bag,
- 21:07Speaker 1: a white plastic bag for him to hold in case
- 21:10Speaker 1: he had to vomit. And the reason she told me
- 21:12Speaker 1: this was because neighbor Roger Drayton has a sill. Surveillance
- 21:18Speaker 1: footage of Gannon holding a white bag in his head,
- 21:21Speaker 1: and she was trying to explain what that was for.
- 21:24Speaker 1: So she takes this little boy to play it against sports.
- 21:29Speaker 1: Play it again sport. Yes, it's a youthful sporting right
- 21:34Speaker 1: where you can buy and sell equipment. And I guess
- 21:37Speaker 1: they have surveillance video of her taking him there. I
- 21:40Speaker 1: don't know that. We do not know that police will
- 21:43Speaker 1: not release that information. Hey Jack, will you just google
- 21:46Speaker 1: that for me really quickly. I don't recall hearing that
- 21:49Speaker 1: either it's playing against sport and where they sell like
- 21:53Speaker 1: used volleyballs and ski gear and lacrosse, whatever sport you play,
- 21:59Speaker 1: they had used equipment there you can buy. I haven't
- 22:03Speaker 1: heard anything about surveillance video there, but they may have
- 22:06Speaker 1: it and have not released it. But you know what, Lee,
- 22:10Speaker 1: now that I'm talking about it, Hold on, Cheryl McCollum,
- 22:13Speaker 1: don't you think if they had the video at their
- 22:17Speaker 1: video existed of stepmom in there with him, it would
- 22:21Speaker 1: have been released to show the public, to see if
- 22:24Speaker 1: anybody could verify it or follow her our seor lady,
- 22:28Speaker 1: and to see if there's any secrethenders in there, if
- 22:30Speaker 1: there's anybody lurking around here. That tells me it doesn't exist.
- 22:34Speaker 1: I don't know, it's not popping up. That's my first
- 22:37Speaker 1: guess that it doesn't exist, or I think they would
- 22:39Speaker 1: have released it by now to get public tips and
- 22:42Speaker 1: information go ahead, Lee Egan after Played Again Sports, she
- 22:46Speaker 1: says they went to Castle Rock, that's about an hour
- 22:49Speaker 1: away from her home in Colorado Springs. They went to
- 22:52Speaker 1: Castle Rock to buy a surprise birthday bicycle for her
- 22:57Speaker 1: husband Al he was out of town working at the time.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Did she actually buy the bicycle? No, and she actually
- 23:04Speaker 1: never bought anything from Played Against Sport. Tell me what
- 23:06Speaker 1: does castle Rock? Explain? That it's about an hour away?
- 23:10Speaker 1: And she said she took the back roads to get
- 23:13Speaker 1: there because there was a wreck on the main highway. Really, now,
- 23:16Speaker 1: there was police searching around Douglas County, which is Castle
- 23:20Speaker 1: Rock is in Douglas County. Law enforcement and searchers were
- 23:23Speaker 1: searching all around that area, and she was putting herself.
- 23:27Speaker 1: She was trying to explain to me why her GPS
- 23:31Speaker 1: or her Apple smartwatch, because she left her phone at home,
- 23:34Speaker 1: why her Apple smartwatch would have pained in that area.
- 23:37Speaker 1: And she's explaining, well, that's simple. We went to Castle
- 23:39Speaker 1: Rock to find al a bicycle you know at home? Yes, okay,
- 23:46Speaker 1: I've got a problem with that, Jason Oceans. You know,
- 23:49Speaker 1: I love cell phones. I love cell phones because they
- 23:52Speaker 1: can tell me where a defendant went. And here she's
- 23:57Speaker 1: left her phone at home, but apparently forgot about her
- 24:01Speaker 1: Apple Watch and it pinned in that area. So she
- 24:06Speaker 1: takes a sick child, who, as she says, is pooping
- 24:10Speaker 1: in his pants. I don't know that. I do you
- 24:11Speaker 1: believe that with an eleven year old boy, Yeah, I
- 24:14Speaker 1: guess he could. You'd think you could get to the bathroom.
- 24:17Speaker 1: But if he's doing that, Jackie, why would she, Jason,
- 24:21Speaker 1: why would she take her child an hour away to
- 24:24Speaker 1: go shot for a bicycle that they didn't buy if
- 24:28Speaker 1: he's that ill, if he's having diarrhea and throwing up
- 24:31Speaker 1: so badly, man, I'd have John David Lucy in the bed.
- 24:35Speaker 1: You have him in bed, Nancy, you're you're a good mom,
- 24:38Speaker 1: and that's the right thing to do. So everything here
- 24:42Speaker 1: is breaking protocol, right, Why would you if you're if
- 24:45Speaker 1: your child is you know, now incontinent because of a
- 24:49Speaker 1: diarrhea and throwing up, and you take him out of school?
- 24:53Speaker 1: Now you're exposing them to going outside and driving a distance.
- 24:59Speaker 1: None of it me sense. Okay, yeah, it's speaking about
- 25:02Speaker 1: the pastor none of it fits man. So Lee Egan,
- 25:06Speaker 1: you're telling me she left her cell phone at home,
- 25:10Speaker 1: but she forgot about her Apple Watch and it pained
- 25:12Speaker 1: in that area. So she's explained to you why she's there. Yes,
- 25:16Speaker 1: she's assumed it pained in the area because they were
- 25:18Speaker 1: searching all over the exact area she drove through. Okay,
- 25:23Speaker 1: hold on to I mean, this is new information. I'm
- 25:25Speaker 1: trying to assimilate everything you're saying. So if she goes shopping,
- 25:30Speaker 1: I assumed that there's surveillance video of her looking at
- 25:33Speaker 1: bicycles and a shopping in a mall or at a
- 25:36Speaker 1: sports store. She never stopped. She said, we went to
- 25:39Speaker 1: see about it, but I never actually bought it, so
- 25:43Speaker 1: we don't know. She won't She wouldn't even give me
- 25:46Speaker 1: the name of the bicycle shop. Bober, Bober, please come
- 25:50Speaker 1: come down out of your ivory tower. Doctor Daniel Bober,
- 25:53Speaker 1: forensics psychiatrist. If I'm giving you my movements and I
- 25:58Speaker 1: call you and I say, hey, you're with crime Online,
- 26:01Speaker 1: I want to tell you what I did that day,
- 26:04Speaker 1: but I've blocked my phone number. I won't tell you
- 26:08Speaker 1: which store I went to, or whether I bought anything,
- 26:12Speaker 1: or whether I even entered the store. You don't have
- 26:14Speaker 1: a problem with that, doctor Bober, of course, Nancy. Listen,
- 26:18Speaker 1: there's red flags all over this. You know. I'll tell
- 26:20Speaker 1: you what you want to know, but only what I
- 26:22Speaker 1: want to tell you, though. I mean, it's very suspicious
- 26:24Speaker 1: of only what I want you to know. Okay, lee
- 26:26Speaker 1: A can pick it up. What else, hey, Nancy, Okay,
- 26:29Speaker 1: so there was something else too. I forgot to mention
- 26:32Speaker 1: she the surveillance footage, you know, circling back around to that,
- 26:36Speaker 1: because she was explain She was explaining to me why,
- 26:40Speaker 1: what happened, when and how, just trying to explain her
- 26:42Speaker 1: actions away. She insists that the surveillance footage taken on
- 26:48Speaker 1: Monday actually happened on a different day. What surveillan's footage
- 26:52Speaker 1: of the neighbor. Yeah, so neighbor Roderick Drayton, he took
- 26:57Speaker 1: he had his footage picks up sound, it picks up everything,
- 27:00Speaker 1: it's in color, it's full, it's clear. And he told
- 27:04Speaker 1: me that on Monday at ten twenty six am. He
- 27:10Speaker 1: sees Gannon looking very sick, looking very drugged, can barely
- 27:14Speaker 1: walk to the truck, gets in the truck with Titia
- 27:17Speaker 1: Letitia Stouch and leaves to twenty eight I'm sorry. Two
- 27:21Speaker 1: twenty pm. Letitia Stouch returns home alone. Gannon is not
- 27:26Speaker 1: with her now. When I spoke to the stepmother, she
- 27:30Speaker 1: claimed that that never happened. That back to the white bag.
- 27:35Speaker 1: If you look at the white bag in his hand,
- 27:36Speaker 1: I gave it to him that day because he was sick.
- 27:39Speaker 1: And if you see this other video, he has a
- 27:41Speaker 1: white bag. There was another video, but it was on Sunday.
- 27:45Speaker 1: So what she's trying to do is she's trying and
- 27:47Speaker 1: I you know, it's up to law enforcement that tells
- 27:50Speaker 1: us the truth. But from the neighbor, he's saying that
- 27:52Speaker 1: she's switching the dates up. Well, listen to the neighbor,
- 27:59Speaker 1: Roderick Drayton next wall. Like that Sunday when they went
- 28:04Speaker 1: to the garden to guard I watched him on my
- 28:06Speaker 1: video out back playing him and his sister. They were
- 28:09Speaker 1: playing outside by the truck. And then when they got
- 28:12Speaker 1: rid of leave heard chief said gammon, get on one
- 28:15Speaker 1: side and atlantic the other side. I could hear her
- 28:17Speaker 1: tell him that sat that in the left. They came back,
- 28:20Speaker 1: he got a truck, he got of the car and
- 28:22Speaker 1: he ran into the house. So he was trying fundays.
- 28:25Speaker 1: That Monday, when I was just looking through, I saw
- 28:27Speaker 1: him walking and he just didn't looked the same as
- 28:29Speaker 1: he did. Something he saw. I was like, something isn't right.
- 28:31Speaker 1: He doesn't look the same he looks you know, I
- 28:33Speaker 1: said he looked drugs or he just just didn't looks
- 28:35Speaker 1: like the same vibrant kid he did Sunday, even when
- 28:38Speaker 1: he was when they got back from the garden to guard,
- 28:40Speaker 1: because I've seen him getting the truck before, you know,
- 28:42Speaker 1: just just see him getting his dad trucking him driving off.
- 28:45Speaker 1: He just hot right and trust and show the door.
- 28:46Speaker 1: And that day it just he just didn't seem right.
- 28:49Speaker 1: He just seemed like something was bothering him or hurt him,
- 28:52Speaker 1: and he just didn't seem the same kid from Sunday.
- 28:55Speaker 1: You were listening to the neighbor, Roderick Drayton speaking to
- 28:58Speaker 1: Dave mac at Crime Online. You know, Dave Mack, you
- 29:03Speaker 1: got in touch with the neighbor and he told you
- 29:06Speaker 1: that and a whole lot more. As a matter of Fact.
- 29:09Speaker 1: Take a listen to more of what Roderick Drayton tells
- 29:13Speaker 1: our investigative reporter Dave mac I went over to if
- 29:17Speaker 1: and I'll say, hey, I have a camera that you
- 29:19Speaker 1: know this that I could see, you know, if anybody
- 29:22Speaker 1: came back, beat them up, you want to watch it?
- 29:24Speaker 1: And first thing she said was no, he went the
- 29:26Speaker 1: other way. He didn't come towards your house. So I
- 29:28Speaker 1: didn't think anything of it. Hi, guys, Nancy Grace here,
- 29:37Speaker 1: we have all worked so hard to bring to you
- 29:41Speaker 1: Don't Be a Victim Fighting back against America's crime Wave,

- 30:24Speaker 1: so that he could watch the camera. And the guy said,
- 30:26Speaker 1: look at I watch your and he looked at my
- 30:27Speaker 1: mind back room and didn't go back to Saturdays. So
- 30:30Speaker 1: he looked back to Saturdays and he just downloading stuff.
- 30:33Speaker 1: So my wife and I we went out to the movies.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Can they come on? Lay? Why did you go back
- 30:37Speaker 1: to Saturday? Something isn't right. So I just when we
- 30:39Speaker 1: got back home, I just looked through hundreds and hundred
- 30:41Speaker 1: videos and just and I caught that and that was
- 30:44Speaker 1: like wow. And the first thing in the morning, I
- 30:46Speaker 1: got up, I knock doing this door. I was like,
- 30:48Speaker 1: you might want to see this video. You're hearing the neighbor.
- 30:51Speaker 1: And I find this particular spot to be very very probitive. Everybody,
- 30:57Speaker 1: thank you for being with us here at Fox Nations
- 31:00Speaker 1: us XM one eleven again and starts still missing. Take
- 31:05Speaker 1: a listen to cut twenty eight Jack. If I watched
- 31:08Speaker 1: the video at least twenty thirty times, I can get
- 31:10Speaker 1: to a thousan times and then me make sure. At
- 31:11Speaker 1: first I watched his own the tablet and zoom in.
- 31:15Speaker 1: I can zoom in, I can look. I saw no
- 31:17Speaker 1: fee I can, and I turned it out and I said, okay,
- 31:19Speaker 1: let me thank you the bye. She get out. She
- 31:22Speaker 1: goes the door, grinds are open, she gets alarm and
- 31:26Speaker 1: a dark ground. Nobody get out. But then I look
- 31:28Speaker 1: at him on on the TV, so then you get
- 31:30Speaker 1: a better you. And I put my phone to the TV,
- 31:32Speaker 1: so I can, you know, get him a better of you?
- 31:34Speaker 1: And I was like, no, he never, He never got
- 31:36Speaker 1: into trucks when I went over to a doctor show
- 31:38Speaker 1: him straight back out to Lee Egan, Crime online dot
- 31:40Speaker 1: Com investigative reporter Lee, explain to me what the neighbor
- 31:47Speaker 1: is saying today. So what he's saying is when he
- 31:50Speaker 1: saw a t sha come back home on Monday, January
- 31:53Speaker 1: twenty seventh, it was about two twenty pm. She got
- 31:56Speaker 1: out of that truck alone. Now here's camera just her
- 32:00Speaker 1: leaving that morning with Gannon. When she comes home, she's alone.
- 32:05Speaker 1: He's nowhere to be found. He has not been seen since. Now.
- 32:09Speaker 1: What Titia Latitia is saying is that Rogerick is showing
- 32:13Speaker 1: us the wrong video. That he's showing a different day,
- 32:16Speaker 1: because if it was the same day, then that we
- 32:19Speaker 1: would have seen Gannon because he did come home with her.
- 32:23Speaker 1: And Roderick's trying to explain absolutely not. I have sound,
- 32:28Speaker 1: it's in color. It's clear. I know what I saw
- 32:31Speaker 1: and I did not seek Annon get out of that truck,
- 32:34Speaker 1: and law enforcement did tell him. Thank you this is
- 32:38Speaker 1: a break we needed, so apparently, you know, it's something
- 32:42Speaker 1: that has been very helpful in the investigation. Jackie. I
- 32:45Speaker 1: want to hear Roderick Drayton in cut twenty two talking
- 32:49Speaker 1: about the FBI coming and seizing the videos. I've been
- 32:56Speaker 1: to Gage just you know, during the summertime working on stuff,
- 32:59Speaker 1: but you know, just casual. You know, Wayne about it.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Did you reach out to the police or to al
- 33:06Speaker 1: first when you realized you had video of Gannon leaving
- 33:10Speaker 1: the house? Well, drot A long ans Sod. I went
- 33:15Speaker 1: over to his house and I showed the video and
- 33:17Speaker 1: Dan once he started, he called the st GI and
- 33:20Speaker 1: they came over and took maybe sixty to seventy or
- 33:24Speaker 1: maybe an eighty videos they had reported, So they got
- 33:29Speaker 1: your whole supply of videos on either side of the
- 33:33Speaker 1: last video that captured Gannon. Yes, they have from from
- 33:39Speaker 1: that battery until that Ballward week or they have all
- 33:42Speaker 1: of the day and night my phone, my Famira record
- 33:46Speaker 1: twenty four seven. It never starts reporting. It's not like events,
- 33:49Speaker 1: not like Tom wal Tine. It takes up its just
- 33:51Speaker 1: constant records. Dave Matt with me Crime Online dot Com
- 33:54Speaker 1: investigative reporter Dave mc didn't he also tell you this
- 33:57Speaker 1: is Gannon's neighbor. That the camera records constantly and allows
- 34:03Speaker 1: him Roderick to watch on his iPad, his tablet, his TV,
- 34:09Speaker 1: his phone. He can zoom in and zoom out of
- 34:12Speaker 1: the picture. He can slow mo. He could see who
- 34:16Speaker 1: got out of the truck. The video has as Lee
- 34:19Speaker 1: was telling us, sound, He can actually hear the stepmother,
- 34:23Speaker 1: Letitia Staunch, get out of the truck, set the alarm,
- 34:27Speaker 1: shut the garage door, and nobody got out of that truck,
- 34:31Speaker 1: but her not Gannon. Absolutely right, Nancy, And that's why
- 34:36Speaker 1: the sound actually is very helpful in that because you
- 34:39Speaker 1: can hear what Titia is doing and that Gannon is
- 34:43Speaker 1: not there. You can actually hear her opening the garage door,
- 34:47Speaker 1: setting the alarm, closing the garage door. You can hear
- 34:50Speaker 1: her footsteps as she moves. And again there is only
- 34:54Speaker 1: the sound of Letitia. There's never a sound of Gannon too.
- 34:58Speaker 1: Jason notions, New York defense attorney. That's why we have
- 35:02Speaker 1: the Fifth Amendment. See if she had waited, as you
- 35:07Speaker 1: would advise your clients, till all the physical evidence had
- 35:11Speaker 1: been amassed, then she would have could have crafted a
- 35:15Speaker 1: story to match the forensic evidence. But now she's already
- 35:20Speaker 1: locked herself into taking Ghanna to the sports use sports equipment,
- 35:24Speaker 1: taking him to Castle Rod to go shopping for a bicycle,
- 35:28Speaker 1: taking back roads, marrying herself to a timeline. And she
- 35:34Speaker 1: also did that when she called Lee Egan repeatedly on
- 35:37Speaker 1: the phone at Crime Online. So she's committed to these
- 35:42Speaker 1: various statements. Sorry, Lee, they can always say you're lying, okay,
- 35:45Speaker 1: because it's not on video, it's not on audio. Get
- 35:48Speaker 1: ready for that. But Jason, she's locked herself into a statement.
- 35:53Speaker 1: And now the neighbor, unbeknownst to her and really unbeknownst
- 35:57Speaker 1: to him, has everything they did that day outside the
- 36:01Speaker 1: home recorded. Don't you just hate that? Yeah, well, she
- 36:04Speaker 1: didn't calculate that in her in her planet, would see
- 36:08Speaker 1: right referring to her stepson in the past tense. She
- 36:12Speaker 1: she didn't have that plan down, Nancy. And criminals are
- 36:15Speaker 1: take care of, you know, opportunists, but generally most get
- 36:20Speaker 1: caught because they don't think everything out. They don't deal
- 36:22Speaker 1: with this every day, whereas trained professionals or prosecutors or
- 36:26Speaker 1: defense counsel do. And you see the shortcomings and in
- 36:30Speaker 1: her story, and as you say, backed herself into something
- 36:33Speaker 1: that's certainly that's certainly putting perfume on the pig. Shortcomings
- 36:37Speaker 1: in her story. Some would call it an outright lie,
- 36:42Speaker 1: but fine, you go with the perfume on the pig.
- 36:46Speaker 1: I mean, Cheryl McCallum, director Coal Case Researches, did you
- 36:49Speaker 1: you know what this reminds me of? Remember Shenan Watts
- 36:53Speaker 1: and the husband, the killer husband, the killer dad Chris Watts.
- 36:58Speaker 1: Remember when his neighbors outside surveillance video caught him packing
- 37:04Speaker 1: the car. They see Shenango in and she never comes out,
- 37:07Speaker 1: and he's actually packing the bodies of Shanan and their
- 37:11Speaker 1: two children, little Celeste. Oh so beautiful. But anyway, and
- 37:19Speaker 1: he's on video in the hull neighbor's home. When they
- 37:23Speaker 1: show him the outdoor video, he can't believe. Right, that
- 37:30Speaker 1: video disproves everything he's told police. Remember that, Oh, I do. Nancy,
- 37:36Speaker 1: she thought she was gonna be able to explain everything
- 37:38Speaker 1: away when she didn't know what direction knew bent. She
- 37:41Speaker 1: claimed she was in the basement when headphones working out.
- 37:44Speaker 1: She didn't know anything. When they found blood, Oh, he
- 37:46Speaker 1: had cut his foot. I mean, she had an answer
- 37:48Speaker 1: for everything. This is gonna be the end results. When
- 37:53Speaker 1: they recover his body, he will be wearing the same
- 37:58Speaker 1: clothes from that Monday, and she will have no excuse
- 38:03Speaker 1: for that. You know, when I've been sitting here, Cheryl,
- 38:08Speaker 1: as we did so many many times, sitting around the
- 38:11Speaker 1: district attorney's table, talking about this piece of evidence and
- 38:15Speaker 1: that piece of evidence, and what about this, and what
- 38:17Speaker 1: about that? When you just said that about how Gannon
- 38:22Speaker 1: ultimately is going to be found wearing the same clothes
- 38:25Speaker 1: he had on that day when the neighbor you know,
- 38:30Speaker 1: coincidentally inadvertently videoed him and really brings it home to me,
- 38:37Speaker 1: this little boy is dead. Sadly. Yeah, yeah, you know, Cheryl,
- 38:44Speaker 1: this morning when I dropped the children off at school,
- 38:50Speaker 1: watched them walk in. You never think that will be
- 38:55Speaker 1: the last time that you may ever see your children again.
