#Jury deliberations in People v #LeteciaStauch 📍 El Paso court house Colorado

#AlStauch was on deployment with the National Guard when his 11-year-old son #Gannon vanished from their family home in Colorado in January 2020.
By the time he returned home, his wife #LeteciaStauch had already reported Gannon, her stepson, missing, and a desperate search was underway. But despite efforts by authorities and hundreds of volunteers who combed through the vast woods near El Paso County, Gannon’s tragic fate would remain unknown for two months.
During that time, Ms Stauch’s account of what happened continued to change. She first claimed Gannon had failed to return home after saying he was going to visit a friend. Then she said that a Mexican man raped her and abducted the boy. Prosecutors later learned that Gannon likely died on the same day Ms Stauch contacted investigators, after finding his blood on her shoes and her DNA on a gun linked to Gannon’s death.
She was arrested in March 2020 after the boy was presumed dead, and his remains were found later that month inside a suitcase near the Florida Panhandle. Gannon had 18 stab wounds all over his chest, a gunshot to the head, a fractured skull and cuts on his extremities, according to The Gazette.
More than three years later, Ms Stauch is facing trial for murder. During opening arguments this week, her defence claimed she suffered a “major psychotic crack” during the brutal killing. But the state has argued that her attempts to cover up the murder and hamper the investigation prove she knew right from wrong.
