Mother Kills Her Son_ Stuffs Body In Suitcase(MP3_160K) · The Empire of Wealth

0:00
Speaker 1: So he said he was going to his friend's house.
0:02
Speaker 2: Played it.
0:04
Speaker 1: I don't know the exact time.
0:06
Speaker 3: This woman is in the midst of lying to police.
0:09
Just hours ago, she brutally murdered her son, Gannon, hid
0:13
his body in the basement, and called nine to one
0:16
one to report him missing. Officers at the scene have
0:19
no idea what they walked into, and they will quickly
0:22
find themselves entangled in this killer's twisted lies.
0:27
Speaker 4: Is there anybody down here?
0:30
Speaker 5: So then when I get downstairs, I wanted to come
0:33
those two.
0:35
Speaker 4: He asked me to give him a suit casetairs. No,
0:39
you didn't hurt Gannon? Did you kill gan?
0:41
Speaker 6: No?
0:42
Speaker 3: But this was just the beginning of her lies.
0:46
Speaker 6: Why would I hurt our child at everything in the world.
0:52
Speaker 4: Have no motive, So tell me where he is and
0:54
let me help you.
0:55
Speaker 7: I don't know where he is.
0:59
Speaker 8: All I can tell you is nine.
1:08
Speaker 3: In the early hours of January twenty seventh, Latitia texts
1:11
her supervisors at Widefield School District three, stating that she
1:15
cannot come to work. Allegedly, her stepfather was killed in
1:18
a hit and run and she has to tend to
1:20
his passing. Nearly six hours later, at nine fifty six am,
1:25
Latisiha sends another text to her employers. This time she
1:28
states that Gennin is sick and she needs to stay home. However,
1:32
just twenty minutes later, at ten sixteen am, a neighbor's
1:36
surveillance camera captures Letitia and Gannon entering their red niece
1:39
on Frontier and driving away. During this time, Letitia would
1:43
visit a pet coo on Nevada Avenue instead of visiting
1:46
a doctor to treat her allegedly six son. By two PM,
1:50
both Genin and Letitia returned home, but something was off.
1:55
Not only did Latisha purchase cleaning supplies moments after their return,
2:00
but backed all the way into her driveway. According to
2:02
family and friends, Letitia never backed up all the way
2:06
into the driveway, but for now, only one credible conclusion
2:10
can be made. The only person last in contact with
2:13
Gannon was his own stepmother, and oddly enough, she would
2:18
report him to be missing five hours later at seven PM.
2:22
Speaker 7: I saw a bob and at almost seven and what
2:26
so like all his friend palase means that he's going
2:28
to be at his friend house and they said he
2:30
wasn't there and the other like that. He never came there,
2:32
so don't. I don't know any other people he can
2:35
call an ask, and I thoughd to my husband as
2:37
when I had to call you, guys discussed I too,
2:39
because I don't know anyone else here, say he's only alone.
2:44
Speaker 3: With this call. Officers rushed to Letitia's home and in
2:47
attempts to gather as much information as possible, because every
2:50
single second Gannon's trail gets colder.
2:54
Speaker 5: Did he take his bike?
2:56
Speaker 4: No?
2:57
Speaker 6: Okay, so okay, because somebody's a little kid on a bike, they.
3:00
Speaker 1: Closed, Well, he didn't unless he took it sooner and
3:03
brought it back, because Lena is getting a bike.
3:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's one picture so much that.
3:12
Speaker 5: He was on and he was holding he's in the switch.
3:16
Speaker 3: For someone who just realized their son is missing, Letitia
3:20
is strangely calm. Not only that she states with her
3:23
initial alibi that Gannon was visiting her friend, which is
3:27
clearly a lie, as Gannon never left the home after
3:30
his return. Undoubtedly something is very wrong here, But for
3:34
these officers, Letitia is nothing more than a concerned mother
3:38
as they continued to search her home.
3:41
Speaker 1: Okay, because you were to hear you weren't in the beginning, right,
3:44
I thought I didn't know if I had that box
3:45
cutter and all this stuff in there because I.
3:47
Speaker 5: Told him about he dropped me last night, okay, And
3:51
I thought I was just making sure.
3:53
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be like, oh it was a boat.
3:55
But yeah, I had to cut this. And I told
3:58
them I wasn't even going to tell did.
4:00
Speaker 5: And I was going to figure out a way to
4:02
put this from the situation. But right, I just took
4:08
it and like covered up with the carpet and stuff
4:10
like that.
4:10
Speaker 4: But do you have any friends around here?
4:15
Speaker 5: There is a let me one to say he did
4:17
have this one like both things that's where you're.
4:19
Speaker 4: Supposed to be down the road. But they checked that already.
4:23
They went over there and talked to it, and they're like, no,
4:25
we hadn't it all.
4:27
Speaker 6: He did have this like a and you talked to parents, right,
4:29
you didn't talk to Yeah, Connor's.
4:31
Speaker 5: Mom came over, who is a friend he goes hangs
4:33
out with all the time.
4:35
Speaker 6: So they come over.
4:36
Speaker 1: The people here that the friends, they were just the
4:38
ones that were the door with the bike.
4:40
Speaker 4: They came over.
4:41
Speaker 8: When people came.
4:42
Speaker 3: Over, Keep in mind that officers have not yet completed
4:45
their house search they have only gone through the home superficially,
4:49
yet oddly, Letitia is trying her best to keep them
4:52
restrained to two sections of the house, the living room,
4:56
where there is a burnt piece of carpet, and Gannon's room.
5:00
Strange behavior would only worsen as Letitia is committed to
5:03
keeping the officers where they are.
5:05
Speaker 1: He forgets to like bring this or bring that, I
5:08
bring this, I bring that.
5:10
Speaker 6: Yay.
5:13
Speaker 1: No, we actually lay out all the clothes all the time,
5:16
like for you know, like every day at school we
5:19
lay out clothes.
5:20
Speaker 9: We do.
5:20
Speaker 5: Whatever is this jacket con he had on the we
5:23
he has silver jackets like he might.
5:25
Speaker 1: It depends on very like fashion, so like it just
5:28
depends on jackets, like he might have this.
5:30
Speaker 5: Black one with this or there's a blue one with
5:32
this jacket.
5:34
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, silver jackets like hm, you
5:37
see the kids, you know, like tons and tons of
5:39
clothes and he just yeah, sure he.
5:43
Speaker 5: Has all that.
5:43
Speaker 4: So there's a weird texted dad guy about something. Hey,
5:51
if you do we have any battles, my friend will
5:56
let me play Sonic or something at their house. He said, yeah,
6:00
I got it, and then mom goes through everything finds
6:04
a like A like A. It was Parker.
6:13
Speaker 3: This is the exact moment that officers realized that Letitia
6:17
was hiding something from them. It's strange that she randomly
6:20
closes the door here, as if there was something in
6:22
the basement that she didn't want the cops to see,
6:25
and her behavior words and strategies to deflect the cops
6:28
from certain areas of the house did not go unnoticed. Consequently,
6:32
her devices were subjected to a forensic analysis where officers
6:35
would come across a disturbing video recorded on Sunday, January
6:40
twenty sixth, a day before a Gannon that supposedly went missing.
6:45
Speaker 5: And I promised, is the last time I'm want to
6:48
ask you.
6:48
Speaker 4: I'm just freak out. Okay. Are you sure you didn't
6:52
do it on purpose?
6:54
Speaker 5: Okay, you promise, you promises purpose? He promised.
7:00
Speaker 9: All right, So listen, we're gonna have to sell stuff
7:02
to fix it. So we figure out what we gotta sell.
7:05
We can sell the sofa because.
7:06
Speaker 1: We got to get it fixed.
7:07
Speaker 9: Old lady, don't be mad at us and kick aside
7:10
the house, okay.
7:12
Speaker 3: This video was recorded by Latsia when Gannon supposedly dropped
7:16
a candle on the carpet, leaving a burnmark. What the
7:19
video doesn't show is that Gannon sustained burn injuries on
7:22
his arms from the candle, and rather than treating his burns,
7:26
Letitia is hurt, scolding him instead. Additionally, during the phone analysis,
7:31
officers discovered a phone call that Latitia had made to
7:34
her husband, Albert Stouch, informing him of the situation.
7:38
Speaker 2: He's only it was just his arms, So I didn't
7:41
see anything that would have thrown a flag that I
7:44
had to be like, oh my god, emergency.
7:46
Speaker 4: Or anything like that. But if his arms was bubbling us,
7:49
not an emergency.
7:50
Speaker 2: Oh you aren't broke skin, like it was just underneath.
7:54
In my mind, I'm like, let's evaluate the situation tomorrow
7:59
and see whatever it wasn't burn or it was. I
8:03
didn't see it as a bad theme. I just knew
8:05
he was like, it's not hurting. We put aloe on it.
8:08
Speaker 4: And I soon show it.
8:10
Speaker 3: As heartbreaking as this call is, the burns described are
8:13
likely second degree because of both the freezing feeling that
8:16
Gannon described and the presence of blisters. Things aren't adding up,
8:21
and the story so far paints a really bad light
8:24
on Letitia. However, officers need to verify what really happened,
8:28
as it was after this incident that Gannon disappeared. That's
8:32
why on January thirtieth, three days after Gannon's disappearance, Letitia
8:36
was called in for an interview so detectives could understand
8:38
the circumstances surrounding this situation.
8:41
Speaker 9: So Gannon had started a candle again normals, he's very
8:46
like or responsible in terms of like if you give
8:49
him something.
8:50
Speaker 8: And say do this, do this, this is this, like
8:52
a list of prepare be fine. So we let him,
8:55
you know, do things like that.
8:56
Speaker 9: So I did be a problem in him no light
8:59
again whatever, And Lena asked.
9:02
Speaker 5: Me because she stay up and to watch the rest
9:05
of her iPad or whatever. It was just her birthday
9:08
and I was trying to give her a little bit
9:09
extra because we.
9:10
Speaker 9: Went all out for Haanna's birthday, like we took into
9:12
a Rockies game, we took friends with him.
9:15
Speaker 3: It is already strange that Latitia is going on several
9:18
tangents and prefacing this entire conversation with the loving relationship
9:22
she had with her children, especially with her daughter Harley Hunt,
9:26
whom she would refer to as Lena, almost as if
9:30
she wants to say that whatever happened with the candle
9:32
was not intentional.
9:34
Speaker 5: So it starts beeping. It's like a beep beep, beepep,
9:37
and I thought.
9:37
Speaker 8: That someone was coming in house. I didn't see anything
9:40
going on. Then it started saying fire, fire, fire.
9:44
Speaker 9: Fire, So there was smoke coming up through the basises.
9:47
And then I met downstairs to get game. And then
9:50
the fire was on the floor over here, then on
9:53
the sofa, so I'm pretending this was a soap on
9:54
this is our floor. So it was right here and
9:56
right here, and I saw the candle that was over here.
10:00
So there was covers everywhere. Because the kids always given
10:03
about I leave lock covers. Then at all time, I
10:05
take a whole bunch of them and I go and
10:08
like like basically smashed down on the sofa in the
10:12
fire to put it out. So I got a burn,
10:15
and I was like get o again and started.
10:18
Speaker 8: Running at that point because it wakes him up. He's alert, he's.
10:20
Speaker 9: Realizing that the covers and everything's come fire, the carpet's
10:23
on fire, and we all grot.
10:26
Speaker 3: That Essentially what occurred was a freak accident from Gannon
10:30
due to him accidentally knocking over a candle. A small
10:33
fire had somehow ignited on the carpet in the basement.
10:36
This was the same cut up section of the carpet
10:38
that Latitia had previously shown officers. But this was a
10:43
second degree burns by just a knocked over candle, especially
10:47
on both arms, is unlikely, if not impossible. Gannon would
10:51
have also had enough common sense to run away from flames.
10:54
After all, it was a slow moving fire caused by
10:57
a candle. If this wasn't strange enough, he should begins
11:00
to recount the injuries again and suffered, but this time
11:03
they would be different from what she told Albert.
11:07
Speaker 8: I was scared because my thought process was Albert is
11:10
going to kill me, like because I made a mistake
11:14
as a parent, and for gott to like really check him.
11:17
Speaker 5: Out, and he really got a little bit more burns.
11:20
Speaker 6: Shoot, So I was freaking out because it's like he's
11:25
gonna kill me, and Ganner's.
11:28
Speaker 8: Like it's okay.
11:29
Speaker 5: It's like there was blood and like he had on
11:32
his arms and as it was peeling. I should have called.
11:38
I should have colled the hospital and just asked, you know,
11:42
I don't know.
11:42
Speaker 8: Enough about burns. But I should have called the hospital
11:45
and just asked like.
11:48
Speaker 3: I made to quote, Letitia just said more than he
11:52
should have and secondly implied that Gennon was somehow bleeding
11:56
because of burns and apparent contradiction what she told Albert.
12:01
More importantly, this was a massive slip up by Letitia,
12:04
and detective suspects that this fire wasn't a simple mistake. However,
12:09
there is no way to confirm this situation as of now,
12:12
but there is one conclusion that officers can make Letitia
12:15
is lying. When a suspect is guilty, they often make
12:18
major changes to alibis, as opposed to someone who is
12:21
innocent and has little variation in their story. In Latitia's case,
12:24
she changes major details about the Kandell incident, especially her
12:28
response which was recorded on her phone, which sets off
12:31
a series of red flags for the detectives, as they
12:33
now believe that she might go as far as changing
12:36
her original alibi about Gannon's disappearance too, and begin to
12:39
question her about it. If this assumption turns out to
12:42
be true, there is a high likelihood that Letitia is
12:45
withholding even more crucial information.
12:48
Speaker 8: He goes in through the garage I go in.
12:50
Speaker 5: I'm getting ready to.
12:51
Speaker 8: Put up the Thames stuff like that. As we got inside,
12:54
I heard something, but I didn't think anything about it
12:57
because I thought, you know, maybe was like doing something.
13:01
They we were like doing whatever, and the.
13:07
Speaker 6: Guy was in there, and I gave him the code,
13:11
the guy from the Yeah, it's all my fault because
13:14
I gave him our code to fix the carpet.
13:17
Speaker 8: Okay.
13:19
Speaker 5: And when I walked downstairs, I hear something again.
13:22
Speaker 8: Well, at that point in time, Gannon was on the
13:24
sofa and I saw.
13:25
Speaker 5: Him and I heard them again, and I walked on
13:27
around and he was standing in there. He had them
13:29
gloves in the store sucking. Yes, okay, he had wanted
13:33
to come.
13:37
Speaker 6: So too fun And then he just knocked me down
13:40
and like towards Gannon through and he was like he
13:43
was hitting on me.
13:44
Speaker 5: He was like like on the ground.
13:47
Speaker 8: He was trying to like rain.
13:48
Speaker 3: Exactly as predicted, Latitia's alibi has changed from gain and
13:53
visiting a friend's house to having an intruder break into
13:55
her home, but this would only be the start of
13:58
her outrageous lives, as according to her, a confrontation with
14:01
the stranger escalates and.
14:04
Speaker 6: I'm like fleeting and like talking and like all these
14:07
things going on, like just back and forth.
14:09
Speaker 5: With him, and why are you doing this?
14:11
Speaker 8: Why?
14:11
Speaker 5: Why did you heard us? Why are you doing these things?
14:14
And then he was like on top of me again,
14:17
and then I kind of like out a case because
14:18
he's hitting.
14:19
Speaker 8: My head again.
14:20
Speaker 7: And then yes, and then he was like he asked
14:23
me to.
14:23
Speaker 5: Give him a suitcase, and I gave him a brown.
14:26
Speaker 8: Suitcase, and then he hit me on.
14:28
Speaker 9: The head again and.
14:29
Speaker 8: It's right here.
14:31
Speaker 6: He just kept like hitting me right there like that okay,
14:34
And so then he did that and then I liked
14:36
out again.
14:37
Speaker 7: I was having paid attackt and then I don't know
14:40
what happened from there.
14:42
Speaker 5: I really don't.
14:43
Speaker 4: I don't know.
14:44
Speaker 6: I just know that.
14:47
Speaker 9: I did lie.
14:47
Speaker 8: I did when they came, I did say get a
14:52
lift whatever, you know that.
14:54
Speaker 4: But if he never did, he never left to go play,
14:59
or I just didn't know what to do in I.
15:00
Speaker 8: Pad the moment.
15:02
Speaker 5: I didn't want Albert like I hear it is because
15:07
we kind of get the lot of fight, yeah, And
15:10
I just want to know that is the only reason
15:12
there that I made it the lie.
15:14
Speaker 3: The simple way to check whether she has been assaulted
15:16
is using a sexual assault nurse examiner at a local hospital.
15:20
These are registered nurses who receive special training to collect
15:23
forensic evidence from assault survivors. Conveniently, Letitia rejected this examination
15:28
when officers offered it to her. Not only that, but
15:31
even CCTV footage confirms the fact that no one entered
15:35
or left the Stout residence after Letitia and Gannon came home.
15:38
She likely thought that this portly planned story would absolve
15:41
her of any crimes. Fortunately, quite the opposite happened. Noticing
15:45
these contradictions, police officers handed this case over to the FBI,
15:49
who gathered CCTV footage from neighbors and came to a
15:53
harrowing realization. The morning after Gannon's disappearance, Letitia rented a
15:58
key to Rio for twenty four hours and left the
16:00
house at approximately eight thirty am on the twenty eighth
16:04
of January. When the car was returned the following day
16:07
at eight am on the twenty ninth of January, it
16:09
had clocked in nine hundred and fifty five miles in
16:13
the span of one day. This could mean only one thing.
16:17
Letitia had likely murdered Gannon after their return at two
16:21
pm and on the morning of January twenty eighth left
16:24
to dump his body. While this much is easy to
16:27
figure out, the exact details surrounding the murder are still
16:31
not known. This is why, one month after Gannon's disappearance,
16:35
on March second, federal investigators called Letitia in for yet
16:38
another interview to piece together this confusing puzzle of Gannon's
16:42
disappearance and possibly his murder.
16:46
Speaker 4: Because of the nature of the warrant being a murder warrant,
16:49
we need to know the real story because you put
16:51
out quite a different start, a few different stories than you. Well,
16:56
we heard a lot of the stories to how Holbert did.
17:00
Speaker 6: The reason I already knew some months was listening to him,
17:03
but because of him not like being supportive, and I
17:08
tried originally to talk to him when he first got therried.
17:12
Speaker 5: That was the only reason I.
17:13
Speaker 6: Said this thing to him, was just because I was
17:15
out of anger and I was like her and not
17:19
being able to have support.
17:20
Speaker 5: It was nothing to do with like these say those
17:23
things to him, was.
17:24
Speaker 6: Just meaning to what did the original want to call
17:27
it selfish orcios or whatever you want to call it.
17:30
I did have like originally initial different thoughts from certain things,
17:34
and that would me trying to like basically read.
17:37
Speaker 5: Him and try to figure the situations out.
17:39
Speaker 6: So I understand that you have heard those or whatever
17:42
you have heard, and that's okay, because that totally.
17:44
Speaker 3: Was not what Letitia is referring to hearing. Are rumors
17:48
about the friction between her and Albert. Since he was
17:51
a National Guard, Albert was rarely home and Letitia felt
17:54
he gave little attention to her. This had resulted in
17:57
instability in their relationship, which initially denies as being small
18:02
apprehensions she felt about him. However, when the officer confronts
18:06
her about odd searches on her phone, she goes into
18:09
a state of absolute panic.
18:12
Speaker 4: You know in here, I even have what you entered
18:13
in your phone, the stuff that you've entered and deleted,
18:18
like blood is spurting from an arterial bleed, direct pressure.
18:23
Speaker 5: Not controlling what I don't want to miss up.
18:26
Speaker 4: It's from your phone, spurting from an arterial bleed. Somebody
18:33
did from your phone. If I don't like my steps on,
18:37
I don't want my steps on? Should I get a divorce?
18:41
I'll stop cheating, I'll stalk Instagram, I'll stop cheating in
18:45
Colorado Springs. How to get blood out of sheets?
18:49
Speaker 6: Sheet?
18:52
Speaker 5: The blood out of sheet is because you always have.
18:57
Speaker 6: If I ever looked at blood, it might be something
19:00
I never love, anything about artery or something ilse it
19:03
went for something else.
19:05
Speaker 5: It's on your and I never lived anything about my sisters.
19:08
Was someone else kid?
19:09
Speaker 3: The searches that the investigator just named would only be
19:13
a few of the thirty four searches that Latitia made
19:16
between the twenty fifth and the twenty eighth of January,
19:19
which is the exact timeframe that Ginnen went missing. It conveniently,
19:23
she would have an excuse for every single one of them.
19:27
Speaker 4: The reason I brought up games is you looked up
19:30
I want immunity because it was gang relater and this
19:33
sounds like me, find me a new husband, find me
19:37
a rich guy, stuffs to take care of his kid.
19:40
Speaker 6: So the new husband is just because however, already knew
19:44
that was about the lady Dammy Sheryll, who.
19:46
Speaker 8: Had a who wanted to find a new husband at
19:48
a very far or so.
19:49
Speaker 5: Are you thinking me about him his own?
19:51
Speaker 4: A lot of these can have nothing to do with this.
19:53
Speaker 5: He doesn't I get it.
19:55
Speaker 4: I'm doing all the work for my step kids and
19:57
their mom doesn't help.
19:58
Speaker 5: Oh that bothered me?
19:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't.
20:00
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, because I wanted them to be mine one day.
20:04
Speaker 4: Some people wish they treated you differently, which I get
20:07
that parent things should be four people, not one was
20:11
A sible person might say, I mean, these make me
20:14
very sad when I read them, because I can see
20:16
you're doing all the work at home by yourself.
20:19
Speaker 6: Which I wanted to be there, Like I wanted to
20:22
totally have the kids. Who's my children? That's the point
20:26
you're not getting like I wanted those kids to be
20:31
saying to me that I'm the mom, like I'm the
20:34
person who does Here's the them, loved in everything.
20:39
Speaker 3: If these were not incriminating enough, investigators also found twelve
20:43
deleted search terms in let Teacha's iPhone, all of which
20:47
pertaining to her wanting to find a new husband and
20:49
being sick of being with Albert.
20:51
Speaker 4: What about what do you do if you suspect the
20:53
person's swallowed poison? Did some of the actually swallow?
20:56
Speaker 6: For?
20:57
Speaker 4: We do?
20:57
Speaker 8: I don't know?
20:58
Speaker 5: I always could things you do?
21:03
Speaker 4: No one swallowed any pleasing you will never forgive me,
21:06
and treating you like your perenciss you will never know
21:09
when it's too late.
21:10
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean I always search forthing to Alberts falling?
21:13
Speaker 4: Is an a plea? Made you figure out what an
21:15
offer plea was? Yeah?
21:19
Speaker 5: Asking how to search shit?
21:20
Speaker 4: Do you know what it is?
21:22
Speaker 5: Yeah?
21:23
Speaker 4: You remember? What? Did you remember?
21:24
Speaker 6: I don't remember. I just remember something because someone was
21:27
writing down a line. So anyone wrote something online, I
21:31
looked at up. Just like the other day, someone wrote
21:34
something about CI coming in or something, and I something
21:38
a line I always google.
21:40
Speaker 3: Usually, when a suspect undergoes a criminal trial and it's
21:43
found guilty of a crime, they are given a maximum sentence. However,
21:47
there is a legal loophole to avoid this if a
21:50
suspect pleads guilty yet remains adamant that they are innocent,
21:53
and they are not given a maximum punishment. Instead, they
21:57
are given a known punishment for a crime. This is
22:00
known as the Alfred plea. But, as always, Letitia has
22:03
a convenience story for a search as incriminating as this,
22:06
and continues deflecting any and all evidence. Because of this
22:10
cathartic behavior, the detective decides to reroute the conversation elsewhere
22:14
A preliminary investigation of the house found blood splotches covering
22:18
the rear of the truck. Gannon's living space and even
22:21
the cut up carpet.
22:22
Speaker 4: Are seen the markers from the spray. The spray went
22:25
from the bed all the way up here. You had
22:29
to clean it up.
22:30
Speaker 8: I don't.
22:30
Speaker 5: I don't know anythink about that.
22:32
Speaker 4: It comes from fascerted blood. You know what that means.
22:36
It means that he didn't accidentally do Okay, so that's
22:40
what we were waiting on because somebody struck in the bed.
22:47
Speaker 5: Someone struck in and in the bed. By god, we're
22:51
all drop. That's what That's what you're saying.
22:54
Speaker 4: Well, then can you tell me how that blood got
22:56
on the wall?
22:58
Speaker 5: Okay? Well, because there do you think you have all the.
23:02
Speaker 4: You're making me?
23:03
Speaker 9: I'm not.
23:04
Speaker 4: I don't. It doesn't look like it does on TV
23:08
if you're a worst criminal.
23:09
Speaker 5: Arnes watching usselves, because I don't do bad things to people.
23:15
Speaker 4: Know, good people watch those shiit I don't.
23:16
Speaker 5: But I don't do any of that. I don't do
23:18
bad things to people.
23:20
Speaker 4: Now you're the last person in Canna.
23:22
Speaker 5: I don't do bad things to people. I don't.
23:26
Speaker 4: I don't think you do bad things.
23:28
Speaker 5: I don't do bad things to anyone, and I did
23:30
do anything bad game.
23:32
Speaker 4: I think something bad happened again, and I don't know
23:35
the way to get you to tell me about.
23:37
Speaker 3: When Gannon returned home on the twenty seventh of January,
23:39
a doorbell camera had captured audio of neighborhood dogs being
23:43
sent into a frenzy by what appeared to begin and screaming.
23:55
By five pm, three hours after these screens, Latisha had
23:59
ordered her daughter Harley Hunt, to buy cleaning supplies from
24:02
a nearby dollar Tree at five pm. These included baking soda, vinegar,
24:07
trash bags, and carpet powder from a nearby Dollar tree.
24:10
The baking soda and carpet powder to absorb the odor
24:13
of blood and clean minor stains on the carpet. The
24:17
vinegar was bought to remove deeper stains on walls and
24:20
act as a disinfectant, and the trash bags to hide
24:24
Gannon's body, a body that officers had missed by mere
24:27
inches and had been hidden away in some part of
24:30
the basement or garage. And every single location that Latsia
24:34
showed officers the garage, the carpet, and Gannon's room were
24:38
all locations that Gannon had bled in. Not only that,
24:41
her searches about human anatomy from before indicate that she
24:45
stabbed Ganon in the artery, which resulted in arterial spray,
24:49
after which Latitia desperately tried to clean up the evidence
24:52
of her crimes. This is also the reason she had
24:55
backed up all the way into her driveway, as the
24:57
rear end of her vehicle was filled with blood, indicating
25:00
that it had taken place prior to them returning home.
25:03
Knowing that the investigator is catching on to this story,
25:06
her initial attempts of feigning innocence now turn into desperate
25:10
attempts to deflect everything that she has told.
25:14
Speaker 5: Why would I hurt our child at everything in the world.
25:20
Speaker 6: Why I have no motive? None, don't have the first motive.
25:26
Everything I wanted in my life I had. Why doesn't
25:31
make any It.
25:32
Speaker 4: Doesn't make sense a lot of the time what happens
25:34
in side of her.
25:36
Speaker 5: I'm sure I don't even know what you're talking about.
25:40
All I can tell you is.
25:41
Speaker 3: I do not notice that she uses the word motive,
25:45
which is often terminology that is used by law enforcement
25:48
when charging a criminal corroborating the facts that she had
25:51
done her due diligence about the law in case she
25:54
got caught, just like her searches about the Alfred Fleet. Regardless,
25:59
the investigator knows that there is a limit to how
26:01
much she can refuse cold, hard facts and begins to
26:04
pressure her even further by promising her that he is
26:07
more concerned about Gan and safety rather than her crimes.
26:11
Speaker 4: I do live to help, and whether you did this
26:14
or not, it doesn't matter to me. With all the
26:16
evidence that they have. The reason why it took so
26:20
long is the district attorney wanted to wait and wait
26:23
and wait till they made sure they could lend in
26:25
the program. And I've done nobody homicides before. They have
26:31
more on this case than we do on most of them.
26:35
Speaker 5: If you have a GD, why do you keep asking you?
26:37
Speaker 4: Because our goal is to find Gan, and our goal
26:39
is not to prosecute you. That is the district attorney's job.
26:43
We're investigators, and like you, like you've just seen, I
26:46
do a poor job about half the time because I
26:48
have to guess because as much as we try to
26:52
track you as your cars and your phones and whatever else,
26:55
there are gaps we do have. Like I told you
26:58
the blood in the house. We have you know about
27:01
the board never staying in the forest, but the board
27:10
with us games going on there was the forest got
27:15
your DNA.
27:16
Speaker 3: Presented with such overwhelming evidence, a suspect would usually crack
27:20
under the pressure and allow themselves to be arrested. In
27:23
Latitia's case, however, not only does she keep refuting everything
27:27
the detective has to say, but even goes as far
27:29
as accidentally giving him even more incriminating information.
27:33
Speaker 6: The blood that you or your team allow people to
27:37
be in the house. That okay, Well if it doesn't, okay,
27:42
it doesn't, you're ready to tell me yours maybe checking
27:47
it in.
27:49
Speaker 4: I bet you they can tell me the last time
27:50
they same even though I bet I can tell you
27:55
the last Cell game, even though he didn't know that
27:57
was going to be lost to you. I guarantee union guarded.
28:05
Speaker 3: Now, Letitia has just agreed that she was the last
28:08
person who saw Gannon. Not only this, but throughout this interview,
28:12
she has also admitted to Gannon's injuries, blood locations, and motives.
28:16
With all of this information that Letitia herself provided, this
28:20
was less of an interrogation and more of a confession
28:24
of murder. Letitia was a broken individual. She cast aside
28:30
her husband and two children because of two major reasons. One,
28:35
Albert's job in the National Guard made her resent him
28:38
and wish she was married to someone better, to her
28:42
extreme inferiority complex towards Gannon's biological mother Landon Bullard. It
28:47
was later found that during the candle incident, Gannon had
28:50
wished for his mom to be present, which sent Letitia
28:53
into a psychotic break, and she attempted to mask a
28:56
murder in the form of an accidental fire. This failed
29:00
attempt only added fuel to the fire, so the very
29:03
next day she called in a vacation from work and
29:05
spent the day brutally bring Gannon and erasing any traces
29:09
of her crimes. With these findings, there was no escape
29:12
for Letitia, and eight days after this interview, she was
29:15
officially arrested for her crimes, and while being transported to
29:19
a county jail, out of pure frustration and insanity, she
29:23
turns to the only other options she has, becoming a fugitive.
29:39
Speaker 10: Sheets threatened me stop or she keeps threatening stop.
29:45
Speaker 5: She keeps on threatening me.
29:47
Speaker 10: I have stopped, She keeps on.
29:51
Speaker 4: She got.
29:53
Speaker 5: She keeps on.
29:56
Speaker 2: I am I will for you.
29:58
Speaker 10: She keeps your arms. She certainly meet a whole time.
30:03
Tishu awad With you, I said I wouldn't hit me
30:09
your arm. Now with you, with you, I'm just asking
30:19
to grieve.
30:20
Speaker 5: They'll see this degree that's all wondering breath.
30:24
Speaker 6: You're hurting my arm.
30:27
Speaker 5: You're hurting my arm.
30:30
Speaker 6: You're hurting my arm.
30:32
Speaker 3: I just want my arm.
30:33
Speaker 1: It's hurting my arm.
30:34
Speaker 5: Just let my arm off.
30:35
Speaker 3: It is ironic that Letitia complains about not being able
30:38
to breathe, about how her arm hurts and how she's uncomfortable.
30:42
Yet when she did even worse to pour Gannon, she
30:45
was filled with nothing but ecstasy and couldn't help but
30:48
laugh in the face of the officers. Even more tragically,
30:51
the circumstances that Gannon's body was found in would prove
30:55
that his death was not instant. It was slow and painful.
30:59
On March seventeenth, twenty twenty forty nine, days after his murder,
31:03
a maintenance worker found a suitcase under Escambia Bay Bridge
31:06
in Pace, Florida, one thousand, three hundred miles away from
31:10
the Stouch home, and inside was Gannon's body. Autopsies done
31:15
on the body showed high levels of seamenafin and hydrocodone.
31:19
While these are generally pain medications, hydro codone was never
31:23
prescribed to Gannon. It was prescribed to his father, Albert Stouch,
31:27
who kept the prescription hidden in his nightstand, the location
31:30
of which only Letitia was aware of. This means he
31:34
was forcibly drugged to reduce the pain of his injuries,
31:37
possibly in an attempt to fuel Letitia's sick fantasies. However,
31:41
this was not the end of it. A gunshot wound
31:44
in his jaw meant that after Letitia had her fun,
31:47
she ended his life almost immediately
