A second forensic psychologist testified last week as Letecia Stauch’s murder trial continued.
According to CBS News, authorities accused Stauch of murdering 11-year-old Gannon in his bedroom on January 27, 2020, only hours before sources reported him missing.

Letecia told Al that a guy stole her stepson as a man in a red sedan pursued her and Gannon, according to court papers. According to Stauch, Letecia reportedly called the kidnapper two names.
In another call, she told Stauch that Gannon fell off and got hurt after riding a bike. FBI wiretapped Letecia’s phone calls as in front of the courtroom earlier in the trial.
Jurors heard the second forensics expert as Letecia’s defense attorney claims she suffers from dissociative identity disorder and had a mental breakdown during the incident.

Letecia Stauch’s Murder Trial Continues
Law and Crime reported that Letecia Stauch’s murder trial continued on Friday with sanity tests performed by mental health specialists who had spoken with Stauch over the course of this case.
Jurors saw the video in which stepmother Letecia Stauch, 39, confessed to a forensic psychologist that she had shot Gannon Stauch, 11, but said that she had mistaken him for a guy wearing a black cape. Loandra Torres, a doctor, testified that the defendant was mentally sound when the murder was committed.
Letecia Stauch is accused of stabbing Gannon 18 times, shooting him once in the head (missing twice), cleaning up the crime scene, lying to law enforcement and her family about Gannon’s whereabouts, and ultimately transporting his remains in a suitcase all the way from Colorado to Pensacola, Florida, where she pushed it over a balcony railing on January 27, 2020. On March 17, 2020, bridge workers discovered the suitcase and the bones.
