Newly released 911 recordings expose the harrowing moments when Letecia Stauch reported her 11-year-old stepson Gannon missing in January 2020 - before authorities later discovered the child's remains in a Florida river.
The Disturbing Emergency Call
In the audio, a breathless Stauch tells operators: "I don't know if he's run away or if somebody's taken him." Her frantic tone contrasts sharply with the calculated demeanor she displayed during subsequent police interviews.
The Tragic Discovery
Two months after Gannon vanished from their Colorado Springs home, investigators found his body in a suitcase beneath a Florida bridge. Forensic evidence revealed the boy had suffered horrific injuries before his death.
Legal Proceedings
Stauch was convicted of first-degree murder in May 2023 after a dramatic trial featuring:
- Gruesome crime scene photos
- Damning internet search history
- Blood evidence throughout the family home
The stepmother received a mandatory life sentence without parole, closing a case that shocked communities in both Colorado and Florida.
