Mother Kills Her Son, Stuffs Body In Suitcase · The conspiracy

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