She was using Google as a diary. "What happens when you kill someone and your name is Letecia?"
😂
Absolutely cackling
I lold
I hope they never bust me! Farm ladies? Wacking to bagpipes near me. Lol
I appreciate the judge so much for calling her bluff on mental illness claim.
Loved his sentencing statement.
I love this judge
His speech before the sentencing was savage!! He's a real dude!!
Well, the jury did that lol
@@brianclingenpeel5123 what do you think "calling her bluff" means? It doesn't mean what you think it means.
So im talking with my wife this morning, discussing some people we recently met, i told her what i think about the character of one of them and she says :"yeah but you never know" and i found myself saying :"im not diagonising anybody, im just speculating what could be happening in a situation like this".
My wife looked at me and said :"is this from your grande guy?"
I said :" DR grande"
And we laughed for like 3 mins, true story.
💀💀😂😂
Bahahahaha! 😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
We need a whole video on Dr. Dorothy Lewis
She needs psychiatric help herself.😂
She is bonkers
Lol….right!!!! I would love his take on her.
The blood splatter expert was excellent. Dr. Lewis needs to have her expert witness credentials revoked.
@@donnaevans3062 she was in it solely to promote whatever weird book she wants to put out next. In my opinion.
Dr. Grande, it astonishes me how many of the people you profile have used internet searches in a way that make them look guilty. In the "getting away with murder" manual, there should be a chapter titled, "Internet Searches: Googling Your Way to Prison." Thanks for your entertaining profiles, Dr. Grande!
That's a brilliant chapter for the book! I hope you're working on it now. 😂😂😂😂
I wonder how far those searches go back,
Seriously
They don't know how to find the data/archive files even if they would delete the search history but many don't even understand to do that which is actually a good thing because it makes it easier to prove that they have been thinking about it in forehand and therefore can't claim it on accident. Or of course they can claim but it is not very believable.
@@lemonstealinghorsdoeuvre if I recall, the ones used in LIEticia's trial were only from the previous few days.
This monster must have hated the child so much that she thought the only way out was to murder him. She's absolutely evil. I'm glad she won't be paroled.
She new Al an her relationship was over and she resented the parents for her " caring" for the kids. That hateful bag wanted the parents to have a lifetime of pain. She was so selfish she took it all out on Gannon. I don't think she even cared that Gannon was a innocent child. She felt jilted and wanted pay backs. She's an inmature PO whale shat on the ocean floor. It amazed me she thought someone might believe all those dumb lies.😮
She might have not hated him..but as her marriage became unhappy and have more issues..it caused her to become who she is.
The Judge cried during Al Stauch's victim impact statement. You don't see judges actually cry on the bench very often. It was incredibly moving.
The judge in this case was amazing! Such a respectful and caring judge!
He did?? I missed that. But makes me love that judge even more.
Her defense attorney did too! I was bawling!!
he touched my heart and so did gannon's mom. they showed a lot of grace and emotional control. their love for Gannon is what carried them thru their impact statements.
Agreed it was a rare but beautiful site to see. ❤
The way she manipulated, lied and schemed is terrifying. This woman is evil to the core. I’m glad the judge more or less threw away the key on her.
*tried to manipulate* she got a just sentence
He threw the book at her- that’s for sure!!!
If you are a step parent..I know first hand what damage step-monsters can do... All children deserve to be loved and taken care of... When they grow into adulthood you will be the one that they remember and turn to...its that simple ❤🙏 😇... Rest in peace, sweet gannon... I'm so sorry for your suffering in the end...
You have experience of one? I am so sorry that you happened to get a horrible one if that is the case. I'm a stepmom to four wonderful step children, saw the three older ones grow from teens to young adults and the youngest of my stepchildren from a toddler to 12 before he moved to another country with his mom. We still see him trough video calls but it is not the same. He was here last summer and we have lovely memories from that and this summer we hope to make new ones. He is now 15. My bio son is ten. We don't use term half sister or half brother because they are whole human beings. I love all the children and they all get a hug from me whenever they want to. I also am now a step granny. I feel joy when they are happy and enormous sadness and worry if they have difficult time and they can always come to me to talk if they want to. That's why I just can't understand how anyone can be this cruel as this pos.
@@elinazarielyou sound like a lovely stepmom, your stepchildren are very lucky.
@@elinazariel bless you because you have done what a lot of people cannot do... Like I said, I know in my mind I feel like people can't love a child that's not theirs and I just don't want that to be the case... Your a very special individual 💕💓💖💖
@@elinazariel I hope your husband realizes he found a very good woman.
@@peggystoutemorin4529 what comes to my step children, he does, though other things are not always eye to eye. But that is just marriage life.
This makes me so unbelievably sad. Gannon you were an innocent darling child and I’m so sorry
Ultimately she wanted leniency for killing a child - not in this life. Go straight to jail . .do not pass Go
Hi, Doctor Grande -- Hi, everybody watching this. -- I'm a little late getting here, but I brought enough popcorn for everybody ☺
Thanks! I take mine with sea salt and butter
@@jackiegrice714 😀 Cool !! --I brought sea salt and butter too 👍
Some people should not be allowed around children, because they are so selfish! Thank you Dr. Grande for your informative video!
❤I struggle with crimes like this. We may never know why. How could someone be so evil? The evilness just can’t be explained. ❤
She was a teacher and a mother too, but she was a narcassist and a psychopath. She wanted the attention Gannon got and he was the kid of Al's ex and loved his Mom more than his stepmom. So She eliminated the threat probably hoping she could get more attention from Al. But she didn't know how to look concerned or show anything other than self intrest and the whole plan of hoping his body wouldn't be found failed and look where it got her. Her being a narcasicist is probably why she taught special needs kids, cos it made her look good, she didn't care about the kids.
@@mutemaids Absolutely! I don’t think perfect exists. We try but we are Human. I wonder if she just snapped. I understand that but the best thing she could have done was to accept what she had done. I do believe she has mental issues and that’s why she tried to cover up and run. I’m 75 & assure you I’m trying to be “perfect”, as I am close to finishing this life! ❤️
Take a person of low intelligence who's prone to anger and remove their empathy. That's it. No mystery.
You're just finding it difficult to accept because it's so horrible, which is of course understandable.
@@abingleyboy she was never actually a teacher she made that up
@@charlyhammond5280 I thought she did work as a teacher, but she made up her doctorate like she made up the lie dector stuff. Anyway I hope she's have fun in prison. Or that she has lots and lots to complane about
Followed this case from Gannon going missing and you were way too kind to this monster. The candle incident was in my opinion an atempt on Gannon's life by Letecia but the alarm went off and she panicked or something went wrong but she deffo tried to set him or his bedroom on fire and save everyone but him. however it failed But he did get burned in the attempt and she filmed a fake vid of him crying and her gaslighting him thinking it would make her look caring, it failed big time and made her look even more vile and guilty. She also did a back to camera interview where she bleeted on about how wronged she was and how she wanted an apology and oh yeah err tiny little bit about Gannon that painted her as stepmom of the year. She is a Narcasistic pyschopath who resented Gannon as he was Al's ex's kid and got more love and attention than her. He was born premature and had issues from this. You missed out that she also googled "I HATE MY STEPSON" and showed no remorse for what she did at all, She killed him to hurt the parents. She is VILE!!
Also the excuse to not go work about her step dad dying was to have an excuse that couldn't be trumped. She was planning to kill Gannon after all and could take off as much time as she needed and hope to not be quizzed as to where or why she was off.
I felt the exact same way about that candle incident. That was her first attempt to kill him- it just backfired! She kept making too big a deal about it and bringing it up. Everyone agreed that Gannon wasn’t even into candles. I don’t think this theory ever came up because I doubt it could ever be proven. She got it in the end tho!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@patriciaporten9517 The thing is she mixed truth with her lies and at one point said she "jumped on him to put out the fire" but I reckon she actually jumped on him to start the stabbing and killing. Whatever way you look at it, we'll never know what hell, that Witch unleashed on this poor boy in his final hours. I believe when she was caught taking him out on the cctv she had drugged him and intended to kill and dump him then as she drove about seemingly looking for "dumping spots" but something didn't go to plan she brought him home to do it. But As true crime cases go this one really stuck with me and THAT THING just to look at or hear it talk and try wriggle out of what it did, just....eeeh it makes me shiver! I hope that thing is having a less than lovely time in prison, cos I'd have her slammed in solitary confinement, and play Gannon's voice to her untill she went wizz bang cracker hoop loopy and I'm not a death penalty or vengeful type, but this case just got worse with every bit of info that came out and then the bizzare expert at court believing her obvious lies, That thing, LIEtesha Eesh!, Well, we can forget about her now she's well and truly done.
It amazes me what criminals think people will believe. She met a man randomly one day and gave him the code to her garage the next? And then she tries to turn the situation around and make herself the victim. I’m glad she’s in prison. As far as DID goes, I remember reading The Three Faces of Eve and Sybil as a kid and thinking wow, it’s amazing what the human mind can do. But even then when I was fairly young I found some aspects hard to swallow. I heard about Billy Milligan and it made me really uncomfortable. Even when reading Sybil (I was around nine years old I guess) I thought it would be easy to claim this disorder to get away with something. Then when I was 14 or so I read this book called When Rabbit Howls. It was so implausible that I became pretty skeptical about the whole disorder. Thanks for covering this Dr. Grande.
I was so afraid you were going to go the other way, after such a brilliant comment. You didn't disappoint me though. I agree with you a hundred percent.
yeah me too. especially now with the amount of people claiming the disorder for attention its going to be even harder to actually parse whether it is real but i lean toward no. there is an artist named kim noble who has each separate personality make art. i like her art but it makes me wonder if it is a gimmick.
@@idorus you never know-some people are really gullible. A therapist might have convinced her she has the disorder. That kind of suggestibility sometimes goes hand in hand with artistic talent. If she has people I’m her life in her corner, the deception might not cause her too much trouble. Or, she could be making it up to get attention like you said. I’d rather think the best of someone until proven wrong for the most part. Either way, thanks for the heads up! I’m gonna go check her out now.
We have to believe all Women & especially Black Queer Women.
If you don't, then you are a Racist & Sexist & Homophobic.
I've read and Cybil and was convinced it must be real - what other way could a child mentally deal with all she experienced? But I haven't read the other books you mentioned and want to. As a clinical social worker who did initial assessment, I've had clients tell me they have DID but never witnessed anything to prove it. So I have always wondered. And there are also dissociative fugues that can happen under extreme duress, but I understand those are fleeting. I thought from listening to her phone conversations that she has at least one personality disorder, but didn't believe for a second she had DID. No one else had ever observed her so called alters? So sad for her daughter, her family, his friends, and his family having to undergo such trauma themselves 💔. The utter betrayal. Rest in peace sweet Gannon 🕊️✝️❤️
I am so glad you're not peddling the existence of DID
As Dr. Grande would say, I'm not diagnosing anyone; I'm just speculating. I have seen videos in which someone switches between alters, and I think it might be real, but of course, I don't feel entirely sure. On the other hand, I have accused some people in some videos of faking the disorder. Other viewers have responded to my accusations by arguing that the disorder does actually occur. My response to that is that even if the disorder really does happen, I still think that some of these folks in some of these videos are putting on an act -- and doing so very poorly, I might add.
I am 1 Dozen Disturbed Dude.

Letecia's statements about the candle incident are inconsistent. One has Gannon causing the fire by using the candle, the other has him asleep, and the candle caught material on fire. I think she purposefully set the fire hoping to kill Gannon and not be blamed. She took the other child and went out of the house, conveniently leaving the boy alone in the basement. THEN it dawned on her to go back and get him. I hope all the prison mothers who miss their children and long to be with them again, make her welcome.
@ calendarpage I agree with your statement wholeheartedly. I believe that Letecia gave Gannon the Hydrocodone so that he would be drowsy & possibly OD. I think she then lit the candle & dropped it on the carpet with the hopes that it would set his bedroom on fire & kill Gannon. When that didn’t work she unfortunately had to cover up what she did,as Gannon had burn marks on his arms & she knew he would tell his father and mother the real story. Letecia is an evil monster & I pray that the rest of her miserable life is spent looking over her shoulder for the other women that would love a go at her.
Yes I agree and I think in order to place blame for the fire on Gannon and direct suspicion away from herself LS made the video of her admonishing him for starting a fire and burning the carpet (I can't think of any reason she would have filmed this event, which made her look like a dreadful sadistic bully, other than she thought it would direct blame for the fire away from her). I guess the reason for the overkill with then bludgeoning, stabbing and shooting him was to make sure he didn't survive her next attempt on his life. I think her motive was to get rid of Gannon whom she resented, hurt his mother and her husbands ex-wife whom she hated, and play the part of a grieving step mother to garner sympathy/attention.
She was probably smoking crack rock with the candle and Gannon knocked it over and it upset her bc she didn't have a way to smoke her dope(?) Who would know bc most likely no one did a drug test on her. How could anyone be so cruel to a child. Or anyone for that matter. I don't even know if she is remorseful would she not be coaching psychopath or social path?
@@farrahfeathers6668 She's a 💩 excuse for a human. RIP, Gannon. I'm sorry that your father picked up that piece of trash. If she was that miserable, all she had to do was get a divorce!
Women's prison is significantly more "welcoming" than a men's prison would be of a child killer.
I am so glad Gannon got the Justice he deserves. 💙💙💙💙💙
These break my heart because I’ve always wanted a son and I would have taken him in and shown him so much love. Why do people kill children?😢
I have four sons. And thinking, for a single second, of some fate like this befalling any of them makes me feel physically unwell. 😢
He was a gorgeous little boy , I have a grown up son, 29 years old, but this case broke my heart , She’s pure evil
I work in an elementary school and it baffles my mind how a person who voluntarily got their degrees in education could ever hurt a child. I've dealt with difficult children, kids with emotional issues, and behavior issues. I still can't imagine anything being justification for hurting a child. Every kid deserves a safe home and people who love them. We need to remember that monsters like lecticia are out there and we have to report abuse.
Poor Gannon and his family.
And poor Harley.
I even feel sorry for her brother who broke down in tears testifying.
Makes me so sad for them all just thinking of the terror sweet Gannon went through at the hands of this monster who was his step mom.
She’s so selfish and sick and twisted and not crazy in medical sense. She is cold and vindictive and pure evil. Just evil.
My actual step mom was mean to me. After I had grown up, my dad told me she had inappropriate relations with her own dad and she viewed me as competition with my dad. That my stepmom’s own mother warned my step mom saying I would be competing with her.
So since her mom said that it must have been true in her eyes because her mom encouraged her bad relationship with her dad.
Sick sick sick.
We don’t ask to be victims.
It’s not fair.
Big hugs for Gannon’sfamily.
Some people are monsters and know it. My adoptive parents are monsters and went out of their way....
So unnecessary, for one thing.
I have been DYING for you to cover this and get your opinion on it!!! As per usual, job well done ❤️
Yes, the case was begging the Grande touch!
My favorite thing to do is watch That Chapter and then Dr. Grande's coverage of true crime situations. It's really interesting to get the different manners of narration but still equally as informative and entertaining.
Thank you Dr. Grande!
I did that for this case as well. I had listened to That Chapter's depiction of this case, and listened again.
I ❤ Mike.
@@FloydMcpuffle
I do too, I love listening to him share about true crime cases.
If this wasn't so tragic, Letitia's utter incompetence would be absolutely hilarious.
I don’t see what difference DID should have done for her verdict… whatever personality knew the murder was a bad thing and tried to cover up.
Rest in powerful peace 🙏

I’ve been waiting for this one! The new background is cool, although I did like the brick wall a lot too. Thanks for always putting out such quality content Dr G!
@@robovac3557 You don't have to watch a video first to comment about it. It's not a rule.
i liked the brick wall the best too 🧱🧱🧱🧱, i need to get used to the drapes 😞
She’s neither insane nor so mentally I’ll that she is not responsible! She’s just plain EVIL!!!
Lies, lies, lies & well thought through lies! My cousin is married to Gannon's grandmother... he said when they met her there was no indication of issues and never any indication (or none they heard of) from Al about her having a alter ego... I'm so glad they found her guilty! Two liars in a week found guilty! It's been too long coming.
Hi Dr Grande, please do an in-depth analysis of Lori Vallow’s mental state. The short you did was great!
Her crazy soulless eyes says it all about her. I think claiming she has DID is just an excuse for her evil side to act out.
DID is a made up illness. The story of Sybil began the popularization of this myth and even after that story was completely discredited and proven to be an invention, gullible psychologists continued to propagate the myth and it was more recently re-energized by thousands of people who wanted to feel more intriguing and special than they actually were.
I think it was her last ditch effort lie to get out of responsibility for what she did. A lot of the phone calls involve her trying to guilt everyone else into letting her go back home and have things run like normal again. She very rarely showed interest in finding Gannon and was more concerned with what everyone else thought of her.
@CancelledOpinion There are a lot of doctors skeptical of DID, not saying I believe or I don't, I just can understand why others wouldn't.
@@cancelledopinion2158that would be odd considering DID is in the DSM.
this case was insane. not insane in terms of her mental diagnoses, but the insanity of the police letting her go after the initial detainment to flee and dump a body, only to detain her halfway across the country later.
But what probable cause was there?
Grande should do an analysis of Dr. Lewis' testimony.
The level of brutality in this case is extremely disturbing, so evil. I can’t imagine the level of fear and pain he experienced; he was soo young and defenseless. Sorry to the family 🙏🏾
She drugged the boy first so that he would not have his full strength to fight for his life. She planned that murder starting with drugging the boy.
Yep, I was shocked at the brutality of it. Before all of his injuries were revealed I'd always assumed she'd killed him accidentally in some ragey tantrum, but it turns out she tried very hard to make sure he was dead.
DID doesn’t even matter. The body that does the crime is the body that does the time.
My issue with psychologists in court cases is they are always going to agree with whoever brought them in so there will just be a psychologist for the defense supporting them and one for the prosecution supporting them
That is weird! As a psych major myself I just don’t understand how they can take two different positions. It’s clearly about who is paying and what they are paying them to say.
@@ACEKYNG_ I think it’s that they do believe what they are saying but they are only allowed into the court if the party likes what they believe. So people just consult psychologists until one says what they want to hear and then bring them into court
Right. Which "personality" shot him? Which one stabbed him repeatedly? Which one caved in his head with an anvil? Which one cleaned the crime scene, which one dumped his body 1,000 miles away, which one did the publicity interview?
Bless Gannon's little soul and his family ❤..
We all know it was the same ninjas that killed Travis Alexander. They go around killing males and leaving females alive. Then they frame the innocent female. Same people. Gotta be.
I needed this. Thank you 😂
Thank you for the upload, Dr. Grande! Multiple personality disorder claims didn't work out well for various other killers. What makes her think it'll work for her?
Desperation. She had nothing else.
@@Tamara-fb4so So you support her killing the kid?
She has lots of personalities unfortunately all are psychopaths. 😊
This is so sad and disgusting. It’s unbelievable how she expected to murder this man’s child and continue the relationship as if nothing happened. Telling all those ridiculous stories as if her husband was an idiot. Kudos to him for not knocking her head off. I hope this bully has a horrible life in prison.
Thank you for this analysis. I think the various things she did to this poor boy shows how loathsome she is. Not satisfied with a blunt object to stab then shoot this poor soul conveys a deep dark evil. Her evil is in her eyes - dead.
It conveys the depths of her rage. Reminds me of Jodi Arias stabbing Travis Alexander more than enough times to kill him but still shooting him in the head.
Hi Dr. Grande. Leticia is obviously a psycho-narcissistic loser abuser. There was no excuse whatsoever for her treacherous behavior. Why didn't she just leave & have her freedom. Again another liar who is seeking attention only for themselves. Peace to you & yours my friend, love, Janine Smiley👞👠👟👡💎💄🎩📿💄💅✌👍👋😇🙂😉😍🤩🆒️💯❕❗
@@worsethanjoerogan8061 yes
She was told to call that non-emergency line because they had a lot of questions and needed to keep her on for a very long time so they didn't want to muddle up the line
As a person diagnosed with DID just trying to live my life as best as I can, I HATE people like that. Why do they so often use this aweful condition to live your everyday life with as a free out of jail card? This is why I told about DID less than 5 people outside of the mental health specialists that work with me. Duh! I never hurt anybody on purpose, but still those people make all of us with this disorder look like a bloodthirsty murderers or at least master manipulators that will hurt everybody for fun
Ps. To answer some of the things said at the end. They did a study where they had a group of people with DID and a group of actors and both groups had to "talk" like 2 different alters, they redid the same thing a month or so later and actors changed minor facts or forgot some parts or very often overexaderated symptoms after the first interview, but in DID group it was consistent and stable.
The thing about concept behind DID is that it was done with a very small group of DID patients and with only one way to "solve" DID. In reality most systems start off as very closed off and slowly through hard work can break down bariers between eachother.
About it being just very high mood swings - it really isn't like that, but a lot of people think it is like that for some wierd reason, we can have our own seperate memories. I don't remember anything that happened in preschool, but N. remembers it. I may hate strawberry milk with all my soul, but still X. only likes milk when it is strawberry milk. I am left handed, while S. is right handed. I don't have an alergic reaction to cats, but B. has severe cat alergy, ect.
If you or anybody have any questions feel free to ask and I'll answer the best I can (if they are not blatantly rude)
I’m diagnosed with DID aswell it’s horrible and life with this illness is hard I get embarrassed with stories of people acting like they have it even in the gypsy rose case her ex boyfriend has DID which I’m not sure but he did heinous things I assume he used it as an excuse
Whyyy did Dr Grande derive us the pleasure of hearing him say Volkswagen Tiguan? RIP Gannon
@@nhlpens583 heehee😅
Lol
Never miss an episode and always pray for a NJ joke. 😅
Leave our state alone.
When Dr Lewis got on the stand and they started listing all her accomplishments I got nervous. After listening to her testify for 5 minutes my nerves were calmed. I knew no one would believe her. After listening to her testify for 2 days I wanted to pull my hair out.
I don’t understand how she was fooled by Letecia’s amateurish act. It doesn’t make sense.
Or she wasn’t fooled
@@MiloniD Yeah I did entertain the possibility that Dr Lewis will say anyone is insane for a price.
Madness in a stepmother, crazy evil mind, a real piece of work, no normal person can deny. The Judge said it right...
All you've got to do is look at her eyes & it becomes strikingly obvious that she's pure evil. The eyes are the window to the soul & you can see the darkness, depravity & evil inside of her.... Poor Gannon🙏😢 ❤️
Yes… her eyes and her voice are so evil it’s scary
Oh comon stop with the eyes and evil thing, she has the same eyes as you would have if you were in custody for murdering. You don't guess people are killers just by looking at their eyes your god fooled you.
My partner used to claim they had DID. Your explanation of mood states resonates with my experience with them. They can remember all of it and they really aren’t a completely different person. They just exhibit high levels of irritability, hatred, aggression, and violent thought. I’ve always felt it was more of a mood + dissociation thing than a separate personality.
she's pure evil
Leticia seems like she may have eaten a few too many lead paint chips when she was a kid. Poor Gannon.
That poor boy was killed by her, and failed by both of his parents.
LOL, I believe I heard near the end a claim of, "I'm not insane, but one of my alters is!"
I find it hard to believe that murder was her first time harming poor Gannon
I really appreciate how calm your approach is to everything and your voice is very soothing and I appreciate watching you I just found you recently and I have subscribed... I also very much so appreciate your dry humor
I remember seeing a whole breakdown on Shirley Mason (aka Sybil) and how she had basically gone along with the DID diagnosis because it seemed to make the psychiatrist happy.
The first thing I noticed was the re-arrangement of the cacti on the shelf behind you👌
Always interesting
Thank you
Peace 💕🇺🇲
Nothing better then having Dr.Grande story for Sunday morning first coffee. Thank you Dr.Grande for your work.
Heyyyy Dr. Grande❤️ Thank you so so much for the new video! I'm especially excited to hear what you've got to say about this case! Regardless of what case it is that you're covering, it's always so great & refreshing to hear what you have to say. You have an amazing disposition & you're very smart. That combination is so awesome! Thank you so much Dr. Grande❤️ 💖
💯% agreed !!
I am most appreciative of Dr. Grande's calm demeanor ❤
@Zo Valentine ~Exactly!! & I love the fact that he's not only so calm in general.... However, he also isn't scared to give his honesty thoughts & opinions!
(Especially bc his thoughts & takes are SUPER SPICY!) LOL
She should of had the death penalty. That poor little boy.
Even some States have “Special circumstance” decrees when something ultra savage, extra horrific is done to the Victims.
Too bad she couldn’t be charged up with all the maximum power of a prominent Court.
*should have been given the death penalty.
Thanks, as always, Dr. Grande!
This case was so heartbreaking. RIP GANNON 💙 About the candle/fire the night before....it is my believe that this monster planned it. Also, Gannon wasn't sick, he was given his dad's old drug prescription unbenounced to him.
One day I was admitting a young woman to the adult psych ward. Her paperwork And the report I got was she was diagnosed with was then called multiple personality disorder. I had never encountered this diagnosis. This girl was cowering like a toddler terrifie😱d and holding a stuffed animal in the corner.She wouldn't make any eye contact and she sounded like a scared little tiny girl. Her responses were minimal. I told her she was going to have to sign a consent for me to give her medication and at first she said she couldn't because she was a little girl. I told her well that I can't give you any medication so she switched to an adult real quick and signed the paper. It was amazing how fast she switched.😂
There is a chance if treatment previously that there was communication set up to quickly get little alter out of a traumatic situation. But there is a lot of maligering now a days too.
@@Amethyst_fairy81all DID claimers are malingering
Why are you laughing? As a mental health professional, you should know that alters can switch quickly. You should also know that some people with DID can control when they switch because they are “co-conscious” with their alter.
Maybe she _was_ faking it. I don’t know because I wasn’t there. ..but the evidence you’ve provided thus far isn’t enough to be convincing. In fact what’s more convincing is that, like you said, she was officially diagnosed by people who actually did understand the disorder.
It’s not surprising that back then, you didn’t believe her. You said it was your first encounter with DID - so you wouldn’t know how to assess the situation. I’m wondering why you _still_ think she was faking. Have you not learned more about DID since this happened?
I’d suggest watching the MedCircle video on DID - specifically the one called “What it’s like living with dissociative identity disorder”. When you see the woman switch to her child alter, it may make you reconsider how you felt about that patient.
There's a reason some psychologists are skeptical of DID as a diagnosis. Even if the disorder is real, it's so easy to fake!
@@clicheguevara5282 Respecfully, T.R. is laughing because of the ridiculousness of the whole thing. If she really thought she was a child, she would have felt absolutely no need to tell anyone she was a child. I worked for a number of years in psych wards during my college years. One of the first things you learn is that anyone who feels compelled to tell you they are 'hearing voices' or that they are a little girl is not hearing voices and does not actually believe they are a little girl.
It is especially heartbreaking when the victim is a child. I often wonder what the red flags of abuse arise and why it is ignored by others. There must be a better system to protect the littles and identify abuse before the worst happens to them.
Sad case. Thanks doc..
Such a fascinating and tragic case, Dr. Grande! So loved when you said, "That personality needs to be in prison."
You always provide such thought- proving cases! Thank you for always uncovering every stone in your videos!! ♡♡
Was waiting for this! Could you compare this case to the Kyron Horman case and give your opinion on the similarities. And what could have been done better in Kyron Horman case. Kyron also disappeared. Stepmother is last known person to have contact. Thanks Dr. Grande❤
I forgot about that case. He's never been found?
That case kind of baffles me. There are so many strange things about it. But looking back, there are odd similarities!
@@bluschke52He's never been found.
@@Kathie4 So sad.
Monster had her head down most days in court. However, alert upon Gannon's autopsy photos being displayed, watching intensely with not a shred of remorse. How can this monster live with what it did to a child? LS needs to live in fear for the rest of her miserable life, meeting the same fate she delivered - eye for an eye...Matthew 5:38
What an evil lady. RIP Gannon
You could tell Gannon was such a sweet and sensitive kid. If she was so unhappy she should have left, but she didnt. She wanted the money and lifestyle the husband provided with none of the teamwork and responsibility. I hope she truly suffers behind bars for what she did.
Poor baby. This case was too much for me.
It's a rough one.
All cases involving children RIP my heart open! 💔
She DID the crime
I was so confused very, very confused when they found Gannon sooooooooo far from home. I thought for sure he'd been taken by a pedophile, I would have put money on it. Then it turns out she went all that way to dump a body, and she couldn't even do that correctly. The thought of her being a teacher is terrifying.
Why do people ever try to defend killing a child. There’s never going to be an acceptable reason
I think DID exists in the way that some people might undergo a personality change and amnesia during episodes of dissociation and may believe that they are a different person during those times due to some additional factor. They might have a few repeated personas that they shift into during episodes of dissociation, and maybe some people do have some memories of their episodes, but I think they ultimately are just periods of combined dissociation and delusion. I also think it is much more rare than a lot of people think.
I feel so sorry for Gannon's father. How did he ever get mixed up with a crazy/evil woman like that?
Because this guy jumped from relationship to relationship he left his first wife for this lady. His kids should’ve been his priority. He should’ve stayed single. Now he’s onto a third marriage so I find him culpable.
Well he did name his son after the evil main antagonist of the Zelda franchise
He got p___y whipped
@@pjSoCal23 typical feminist response. If it had been the man, she would have been a victim, not a serial marryier. Who's priorities should have been her children, she would have been forgiven, because she had needs.
@@privard89 well you're named after the persecutor of the Christians, who's widely believed to have been a mysogynist. So what do we draw from that? Or is it just a common name, perhaps more common than Gannon, but not Belezabub.
The way Dr Grande tells the story without laughing is a mystery, the part of Eduardo cracked me up 😅
That poor kid never had a chance, ever since birth. He was named after a fictional video game villain. That was only the beginning of his misfortunte.
Omg finally! I was wondering why you hadn’t covered this case yet (while hoping that you would!) in light of its recent return to the headlines as a result of the trial, but especially bc of the (purported) mental health angle being put forth by the defense team - plus the *NUMEROUS* _spurious, dubious, ludicrous_ statements, stories & claims the defendant has made over the years….🤨🙄
Anyway, I’ll shut up now. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
*RIP sweet Gannon* 💙😪💔🕊️💙
Concise and precise, as always. Thank you for the video.
I'm always very skeptical of any claims about multiple personalities. There have been a number of supposed cases of DID that turned out to be fake, so I prefer to reserve judgment on the matter.
Sybil faked it too; it’s been revealed in recent years that somebody faked Sybil’s multiple personalities to make good story for the book, and the subsequent Movie from 1976. I don’t remember who falsified her multiple personalities; either the book’s author or Sybil’s psychiatrist.
All DID cases are fake. 100%.
Yaaaaaay I have been waiting to hear your analysis of this evil, heartless, disgusting step-monster. I cannot imagine how much rage there had to be inside of her to do this to an innocent, loving 11 year old child. Thank you Dr Grande for yet another wonderful, spot on analysis...watching your show is the best part of my evening!!! You are truly awesome and I hope you're having a great weekend so far ❤️
These mental illness excuses are terrible. Great points as always. Thanks Dr G😊💜💛
@Generic Name 😊⚔️🛡
The deep evil in Letecias eyes right before attacking Deputy & trying to escape from van driven by law enforcement. Disturbing.
Thanks for giving your input on this one, Dr. Grande. I found this video really informative and interesting, as always.❤
I found the analysis of this topic to be informative.
I see your background, I'm reminded of a funeral home ❤
I appreciate the bio mothers anger. I don’t understand why she wasn’t the custodial parent ?
I wondered the same thing too and from what I found it was only because she has really tough pregnancies. When this happened she was in the hospital for a long time trying to avoid preterm labor while pregnant with Gannon’s little sister (after Laina). To my knowledge that’s the only reason why he was living with Al and not Landon. During a lot of the interviews Leticia tried to say that they had Gannon and Laina because Landon was on drugs, but that was a lie. Such a sad case.
An exaggerated mood state is the best description I have heard for DID, thank you
well, this description is totally wrong. but so are many other descriptions of it.
Good evening Dr Grande, excellent analysis.
As always I learn something new from your videos.
Have a wonderful evening.
Just a reminder , I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating on which anagram of ' Letecia Stauch' is the best. Selections include: 'chisel actuate'; 'astute chalice' and 'ace elastic hut'.
Dr. Grande, you did it. You are the best!
BEEN WAITING 4 THIS ONE… TY
They ruled out that there was any fire created by accident. She set that up to cover up blood in the living room. They also ruled out that he had any kind of stomach problems. That would be due to talking to his siblings and Gannon's conversation with his parents. Leticia definitely did something out of anger on Sunday. New it was bad and that Ganon would tell his parents she was so worried about what any and everybody thought about her and being better than Landon that she had to kill him to cover up whatever abuse she inflicted on him on Sunday night whether on purpose or on accident. She mentioned many many times that she jumped on him over and over and that she caught him on the switch She caught him on the switch overreacted and harmed again grievously on Sunday could not have anybody knowing what she did the only way to cover it up was to get rid of Ganon and it's disgusting
Thank you, Colorado, for locking up this monster until she breathes her last breath.
Poor wee kiddy and his dad and sister and other family members. I am so glad they saw her go away. It will never make up for the loss, but justice has been done and saves others from the same pain.
Thank you for excellent analysis Dr Grande!
You are always the BEST
Excellent analysis
Thank you
