Letecia Stauch, the stepmother of Gannon Stauch, has been on trial for the alleged murder of the 11-year-old boy since April 2023. Gannon was reported missing in January of 2020, and his body was found more than three months later, 1,300 miles away from his Colorado home. According to experts who testified in court, blood evidence was found in Gannon’s room and in a suitcase inside Letecia’s van when she was arrested.
Letecia’s daughter, Harley Hunt, has also been a key witness in the trial, testifying against her mother and denying any involvement in Gannon’s death. However, her testimony was contested by Letecia Stauch’s defense team.
In a recently released video, Letecia Stauch’s first interview with investigators following Gannon’s disappearance was shown to jurors. The video showed Letecia discussing her relationship with her stepson and her whereabouts during the time of his disappearance.
Letecia’s trial has garnered widespread attention, with people questioning why she allegedly killed Gannon. Many have been following the trial, including a juror who was dismissed after coming forward saying they knew one of the witnesses.
As the trial continues, expert witnesses have testified about bloodstain patterns found in Gannon’s room and the evidence found in Letecia’s van. Prosecutors are continuing to build their case against Letecia Stauch, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges of murder and other related crimes.
The trial highlights the tragedy of Gannon’s death and the impact it has had on his family and community. The verdict in the case remains to be seen as the trial continues.
