#309 The Tale of a Twisted Stepmother Part 5: The Murder of 11 Year Old Gannon Stauch [Vacation Series] Feb 14, 2025

Show notes

**WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS DETAILS AND INFORMATION RELATED TO THE MURDER OF A YOUNG CHILD AND MAY BE DISTURBING TO LISTEN TO; LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED** The 2020 Murder Of Gannon Stauch Perpetrated By His Stepmother Letecia Stuach PART 5. On the afternoon of January 27th, 2020, a 911 call was made to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office Dispatch. The caller was 36 year old Letecia Stauch and it was her 11 year old step son, Gannon, who she was reporting failed to come home after going to visit a friend's house. First considered a runaway, Gannon's status as such quickly shifted to a missing persons case...and eventually, a murder case. Letecia herself quickly became the focal point of the investigation as her bizarre behavior and ever evolving stories as to what happened to Gannon confused and inhibited the investigation from the very beginning. From Colorado to Florida to South Carolina, Letecia took law enforcement agencies on a wild goose chase across the country as she did anything she could to try and hide from what she did to Gannon.
