Letecia Stauch searched Google for a job, apartment, and new husband in same Florida city Gannon’s remains were found
THE stepmother of Gannon Stauch searched Google for a new career, a new apartment and even a new husband in the days before his murder.
Letecia Stauch was particularly interested in looking at properties in Florida, specifically in the city of Pensacola where Gannon's remains were ultimately found last month.
In the affidavit, obtained by The Sun, police note that on January 27 at 6:55 p.m., Letecia called 911 to report that .
was listed as a runaway AFTER his stepmother said she had seen him just a few hours prior and told p;olice that the boy often played with children in the neighborhood.
Police now believe that this call was placed a few hours after Letecia bludgeoned her stepson in his bedroom and then cleaned up the crime scene.
Letecia seemed to resent her job as the caretaker to Gannon and his sister as well as their father's long absences.
The affidavit states that she then ordered Gannon’s younger sister Laina to play outside when she returned from school a short time later.
When Letecia’s own daughter returned home that day, she sent her to the Dollar Store according to the affidavit.
Once there, Leticia texted her daughter Harley asking for “carpet cleaner, trash bags and baking soda.”
There is no suggestion in the affidavit that either sister knew what happened to her brother in the affidavit, but according to the affidavit, Laina provided an interview to police, and Harley has not yet done so.
Letecia reported Gannon missing soon after, but "her story dramatically changed multiple times over the following days” states the affidavit.
“Letecia lied to investigators on multiple occasions, has unexplained abnormal behavior such as obtaining a rental car, disconnecting her cell phone from the cellular network, the false reporting of an alleged rape, abnormal patterns of travel, a continuously evolving story with material changes in facts and circumstances and has since left the state of Colorado,” states the affidavit.
According to the affidavit, police believe that Letecia disposed of the body on the side of a nearby highway, but there are no details as to how Gannon’s body got from there to .
She has pled not guilty to all charges and is behind bars in a Colorado jail ahead of her next court appearance in June.
She is also due in court around that time for a divorce hearing.
