I thought the same. When he cried out, “why?!” I was shocked and felt so bad for him. It was sooo from his heart:( poor guy. He seems like such a salt of the earth, good guy who loved his family, his wife, mom, and sister. Say a prayer for him. For them. ❤
Indeed. Perfect example of a true gentleman. God Bless him and his family. I couldn't imagine my sister doing such a heinous thing, especially to an innocent child. May God have mercy on Letecia's soul.
Care about breaking her brother’s heart? The woman murdered a child. I doubt her half brother’s feelings aren’t top of mind for her. Especially since she’s not close with him
This beginning with Dakota was heartbreaking and the integrity of the judge and the prosecutor was incredible … how the judge talked to him was like nothing I’ve ever witnessed. They are top notch. Such a tough trial.💔
You know. I'm from SC. He seems like a good "southern boy." I'm reviewing video for trails. Just a law student. Go to USC. this makes me sad. I can't imagine offing my daughter. or my sister doing it. I'd be heartbroken. So crazy. I'm sad.
@@idkjamesBoth Leticia Stauch and Chris Watts are from The Carolinas. I feel bad for Stauch’s family down there- they made it sound like people where they lived were mistreating them because of this case or something.
His sister tried to protect her young brother the only way she knew how due to the S. Abuse she had endured it’s no excuse for this horrible crime she committed but by trying to save a brother what happened in her mind from going to protection to homicide? It’s really hard to equivocate
@@blues7160 there is no evidence that this monster Tisa was S abused so stop trying to tarnish a man that is no longer here to speak for himself..Tisa is a liar and has lied about s abuse numerous times..she has no credibility..I don’t believe she was ever abused by anyone stop the foolishness and let Dakota’s father RIP
@@FreeB1Speechyou gave your opinion, as in, "I don't believe....". Others have opinions. It's the comment section, and the entire thread is our opinions. No need to be nasty to someone
@@marshapieroni6677 you’re the one getting nasty with @freespeech. All they were saying is Letecia is a known liar (which can’t even be debated because we just listened to hours worth of her lying and gaslighting in the recorded phone calls.) and not to speak ill of the dead…. More accusations of S3xual assault against someone who passed away and can’t confirm or deny it. We all know she was lying about it when she said edquardo S3xual assaulted her and then Quency Brown. She clearly has a habit of lying about it!
@@FreeB1Speech I agree that she egregiously stretched the ability for anyone to trust anything she says. Her brother understands that his father had issues with alcohol and physical abuse but didn’t seem to think he was a s abuser. His time in war was the impetus for his issues according to his mom. I’d bet he saw through her manipulations and gas lighting and called her on it. Hence she didn’t like him and they battled. She walked and didn’t come back till he was deceased. As far as the story we heard about all the peeps in and out of her moms life, her brother didn’t seem to have that experience. He said she was a good mother and no one should think differently. Yes he is younger, but I believe him. Her mom flew out to help her when no one believed her. I wonder how her mom feels about the way she is being painted by the defense and T. There are no winners in this story:( it’s all so sad.
Her brother is a precious man. A soft, sweet soul. I love his southern drawl! Can't believe they are even related. I think his heart is broken over Gannon.
Yeah she not only putting Gannon through it she put her own family through it that's so selfish and ignorant those poor family lives will never be the same 🙏🙏🙏❤
@@copper4441 so could Gannons parents too! You don't know them yet you have empathy for them. No one has empathy for Tecia she doesn't deserve it. But there are very few people on this planet worse than Tecia. But her family deserves sympathy as well. Frankly you're terrible for judging him and not feeling any sympathy or empathy because his sister is a monster.
People always focus on the victim's family but they forget the impact the crime has on the perpetrator's family as well. It devastates an entire community.
He really did. You can tell it was hard and that he was genuinely disturbed and disgusted by his sister's actions. I would have thought Harley would have been the one who was emotional bc she lived with Gannon and he was her little brother, but nope. Young people these days are definitely different.
@@rookiecookchick My mom was really manipulative also, I had to learn my own tricks to survive as well cuz everything was pretty bad growing up. many times my mom would involve me in her "games". I feel like Harley acted way too stupid about stuff. I mean unless she's really dumb, like below average intelligence, she knew way more than the public wants to believe. Maybe she just tried to ignore it, but u can't live with ppl & not see whats going on. Its impossible.
This is definitely not a family/group of people who are too “smart” or good at communicating. And that makes me feel even worse for her brother. I’m very new to this case and I don’t understand how Al or anyone could put up with her enough to marry her. Then, I read a post/theory that said Al was divorcing her and that’s why she killed Gannon. I wonder how long they were married and lived together and how he kept his sanity and again, why marry her and bring this class A psycho into his kids lives.
@@nicole6323he mom is abusive and treated her like a child and not in a good way, she is below age level mindset you can tell and that's her mother's doing, she stifled her mental growth 😢
Damn she was ballsy ass hell ! With that body in that van ! I can’t believe this testimony! I’m so thankful her brother was a good man and brave enough to stand up for this boy . Thank you thank you !
It broke my heart hearing Leticia‘s little brothers testimony about his sister struggling with the suitcase and that she didn’t need any help moving it. Something about this big strong southern man choking and stuttering trying to hold back tears. RIP Gannon 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Listening to Leticia’s brother and so emotionally devastated and heartbroken and immediately tore into leticia’s ass calling her out for murdering Gannon . Harley shows not much of anything. She showed me absolutely nothing that made me care her feelings . You don’t ride 1400 miles with 5 day old decomposing body and not know what the hell is going on and happened. She should have been charged as an accessory or for not reporting this crime. Maybe she cut a deal with the state but did didn’t give any shit up. She may have inherited too much of Leticia’s genes.
@@joanpeaden3282 you obviously,haven’t been brought up,and constantly manipulated,by a lying,abusive narcissist.Why would she,for one second,think that her step-brother had been murdered,stuffed in a suitcase,and was in the back of the car,that your mother had wanted you to drive.Such a thing would never occur to me,and it didn’t,to her.
I'm impressed by the empathy both the Judge & prosecutor had for the brother when he had his breakdown. It's good to know that there are good people like that in positions of power.
They had empathy because the emotional witness was on the state’s side. I can’t see them displaying the same empathy for an emotional witness on the defence’s side.
Man this absolutely crushed my heart hearing his pain for an innocent child! He is in so much pain and I’m not by any means down playing anyones pain this this awful situation! I had to pause my phone and pray for this man to help get him through this difficult questioning!
I think too. Imagine someone you love. Someone you think could never purposely harm someone else. Imagine too that they are accused and because you KNOW them you believe what they tell you then imagine that you were wrong the entire time. You loved someone that was as evil as Leticia and such a liar. That too is deeply painful. Not only her crime. But the betrayal. That’s tough. He loved his sister and was out there to support her and he was there when she was struggling with that heavy suitcase. Sad on so many levels.
I totally agree. He has the voice for radio. I’ll tell you who’s voice is not soothing her brothers. I couldn’t stand listening to him talk like that it’s almost like he was crying as he talked.
@@kaylariggs5188 the jury wasn’t in the room yet. Afterward they were asked to rise and the jury entered. Nothing needed to be struck, because the jury wasn’t there. I’m glad he got it out. Poor guy.
@@criticaldarling1982 I watched it! Heartbreaking! I skipped through his testimony initially, because I saw how low his volume was and how slowly he was talking and I didn't think I could get through it. But I'm glad I went back and listened. Poor guy is just hurt.
The 1st big question defense asks of the brother, referencing prosecutions last question, he did not get the answer he thought he was going to get. And good for the brother being honest!
@@Lyddiebits I know, I just can’t comprehend killing anyone for anything other than self defense or protecting your own family. It’s heartbreaking to see so many people suffer because someone was selfish and evil. 😟
Oh but she did love him though I think she wanted Al home full time and after trying multiple times with the fake s harassment, the fake pregnancies the fake burglaries not doing it she thought this would
That poor fellow he didn’t ask for all this but either did Gannon and it’s great that he’s trying his best to get thru this so the truth is known and justice will be done.
OMG yeah! I can't imagine how difficult it would be to know someone you love murdered a child. He asked her why she did it, because he KNOWS she's not insane. True Not Guilty by reason of insanity looks like that werewolf case were that guy ate another man's face off in broad daylight. Tecia knew what she was doing was wrong and that's why she tried so hard to hide it. I can't imagine how difficult this must be for him. I have a little sister and she is literally my best friend. She would never do something like this to begin with obvs. But I also feel like there is literally nothing she could do that would make me not love her anymore. There is stuff she could do that would make me furious with her. But there's absolutely nothing that would make me not love her. It's clear that he loves his sister and he loves Harley. He maybe even loved Gannon. Tecia married into that family when Gannon was like a toddler. How heartbreaking. She destroyed her own family, destroyed the family she married into, destroyed the lives of every single person involved in this case. She destroyed the lives of those bridge workers who found a little boy with football socks dumped off the side of a bridge like trash. And I'm sure she ruined the lives of her neighbors as well. They won't trust anyone ever again! Tecia needs to be locked up for society's sake. She literally RUINS the life of every single person she comes into contact with.
@@anitamooregibson8409 she admitted guilt. Prosecutor isn’t offering her a deal except life without parole. So she admitted guilt by reason of insanity which won’t work. Capital case. She’s lucky they don’t fry her
If you've never been to Lumberton, NC, here is a great example of the unique accent found there -- one of 7 distinct accents found in NC, prevalent among the Lumbee Tribe who live there. The surnames he mentioned, Locklear and Lowry, are very common there. It is only about an hour's drive from Myrtle Beach, SC, so many people drive from Lumberton to work in tourist industry and other jobs. Though his voice is often strained with emotion, I would've known he was from Lumberton without being told. This man appears to be a very fine person. My heart aches for him, and I hope and pray that he will find peace in bringing the truth.
Breaks my heart listening to her brother’s quivering voice as he tries to relive this tragic experience. He came to support his sister and stand beside her, truly believing she was being wrongly accused, and then the moment when he realized something just wasn’t right is just heartbreaking. 💔 😭
I was thinking about the situation and imagining myself in it and thinking my God to have a family member, I trusted and believed in pull me into their twisted situation. He must feel such betrayal and heartbreak. Not to mention just the thought of a body being in the vehicle with them, nonetheless of a child, that he likely knew relatively well. My god!
And, the *horror* in the moment of his realization that Gannon’s body was recovered in the same suitcase he saw her leave with, with her struggling with the weight of the suitcase. He must have such severe PTSD from the whole thing, his family coming out to look for Gannon and Leticia carried him out in a suitcase *in their presence*. Wow..
@@Lilysmum u took the words straight from my heart.. that’s exactly how I was feeling about it too. I hope he’s doing okay and finding a way to get thru this horrific trauma. Blows my mind how anyone can ever harm a child.
@@amandastein6247 I can’t imagine what he’s going thru.. I sure hope he’s doing okay. It’s such a horrific tragedy and I don’t think Letecia will ever realize the immense pain and suffering she caused for so many.
She has destroyed so many ppl and lives without even a concern or second thought. This judge is so kind and so is the prosecutor showing compassion isn’t hard for anyone except the evil demon sitting in the corner. God be with them
I can’t believe she got out of town with that suitcase as much as the law was on her . I would of loved for her to get caught red handed , I hope her daughter testifies !
@@Klove5343 She definitely had that suitcase stashed somewhere else until she left. It would be so difficult to realize later that you drove all the way to South Carolina with his little broken body stuffed in a suitcase the whole time. She is pure evil. Had she snapped and killed him with one strike, it would have been bad, but she just went on and on and on torturing him to death. RIP little Gannon. No one will ever hurt you again.
He is so traumatized by what happened that he cannot remember anything about the trip except the suitcase-and now knowing that Gannon was in there. How evil she is ….Praying for this man 🙏🏻🥲
At first I thought he was full of it and trying to be as vague as possible. Reading your comment you are absolutely right. He is haunted by that old heavy suitcase.
Imagine having the courage enough to do whats right...and testify against your own sibling.. This man did his absolute best to try and bring justice to little Gannon. God bless his soul
She has effected more lives than she'll ever realize it goes beyond the parents, the extended family & friends. It includes all the people that were out searching for him posting things on social media, the different types of investigators, the person that found him, the Detectives, the Coroner, Prosecutors and their team, her attorneys & the list goes on. She became a part of all those lives in the worse way imaginable. There's no defense for something like this she should've plead guilty instead of sending the families through this. Imagine being in that courtroom while looking at the evidence & when that suitcase came in it's 1 thing to see things but to have to smell decomp. and to know the cause of the smell is from your child's body breaking down, and left to rot omg idk how I would've reacted.
I watch a lot of true crime and a lot of trials and am def jaded…but her brother had me crying. You can tell he’s a quiet gentle soul ( the complete opposite of his insufferable sister) he clearly isn’t the type that is comfortable on the stand. But he did a really good job, and you can tell how heartbroken he is. Testifying against your family is not easy, but when it’s the right thing to do, you do it, and you do it honestly,he’s proof of that.
Thank you for saying this. I'm offended by the negative comments about him. (Although there aren't many) he is from Lumberton NC and the crime rate is extremely high. Top 10 in the u.s. but there are also communities that have the greatest love for family, very prideful families that stick together. My heart goes out to the Stauch family and to the Lowry family as well.
Listening to Al’s voice crack when mentioning hearing Gannons voice for the last time, and Watching Dakota and Harley break down, broke make my heart. This evil woman has hurt so many people and this will live within these people forever. Knowing now, that you unknowingly helped carry a child’s body in a suitcase, is a disturbing thing to live with. Prayers to this family.
Watching from Los Angeles CA. Been invested since news broke in January of 2020. My heart hurts for that little boy. The images yesterday were absolutely heart breaking. I noticed and understood why his parents weren’t in the court room. This morning when her brother took the stand is another testament of the heartache the entire family is still experiencing. I know no amount of prison time/ Sentence implemented on the villain ,will heal their wounds, but I hope that justice for their innocent young victim , brings them some peace.
She butchered a child and then shot him in the face and then fastidiously as a person of her caliber could, she methodically and purposefully tried to cover it up. She isn't insane. Crazy, you bet.
This broke my heart! I'm praying for her family, they didnt do anything and they are hurting. Knowing that your sister did what she did to that beautiful angel, its sickening.
The biggest struggle is to love someone and Want to believe so badly they would never be this kind of evil and to have to come to terms with the truth of the person you love is such a fight. Even if he said he loves his sister I wouldn’t be upset or surprised. We love who we love…doesn’t mean we aren’t disappointed or deeply hurt. Leticia hurt so many people. I feel for their entire family.
Small towns can be brutal, and when he answered that it was tough for his family there, it made me so sad for them. They have no part in what she did to little Gannon, and the people in their home town should know better than to gossip and harass the family.
How can she sit there especially after the testimony of her brother. She needs to stand up and own this for Gannon's family and for her own. So very sad.
One can know that there are family and friends. I never gave them alot of thought until now, and I'm deeply ashamed. Seeing, hearing this - May God bless them, keep them, heal their shattered hearts.
This woman allowed the hate she felt for Gannon and his mother grow and overpower her intelligence. That hatred was stronger than any love she felt for her family, the people who loved her. She didn’t just hurt Gannon and his mother. She hurt her husband who loved her and trusted her by killing his son. She hurt her brother who loved her and looked up to her by destroying the image he had of her. She hurt her daughter who depended on her by having her live the rest of her life without a mother. This woman doesn’t deserve the people who loved her.
Ughhhh his start of his testimony yelling at his sister gave me goosebumps.. He did absolutely phenomenal and that evil thing sitting there with no sort of emotions to what she has done to EVERYBODY and how she has completely shattered everyone's inner souls and light is just so gut wrenching.
@@Lilysmum absolutely none!!! Her being called Evil or a monster is too good for her.. what she is is undescribable! I WISH this country had torture chambers for people like her! I don't care if it's inhumane, people like her are not even human period so it would NOT be inhumane at all!!
This is very sad for Letecia’s brother, so sorry he has to go through it. God bless his family. He clearly is heartbroken like any family member would be. Poor sweet young man. The judge and prosecutor are helpful and kind to Mr Lowery. You did good sir. It’s very nice you came in support of your mother. Also notable that you stood up for your mom saying she was a good mother to you. Being in court is nerve wracking.
I feel so bad for her brother, this is awful, Justice is going to happen for Ganon. Rest in piece.sweet boy. God has you in his arms now . No more pain no more being scared........ Bless the family and Dad he is in our hearts, we will never forget Ganon.
In my life I don't think I have ever felt as sorry for a witness and relation of an accused as I do for this man. You can tell he is absolutely destroyed, heartbroken, in so much pain and unable to fathom that someone, never mind a blood relation, could do as she did. Don't know you, will never meet you, but Dakota (awesome name by the way), please know I am so sorry for you and your loved ones and I wish you all healing and much strength going forward.
The ripple effect of TRAUMA & HEARTACHE this woman has inflicted is heartbreaking. At 27:25 and I'm realizing this woman caused pain to even her own family 🥺💔
I'm sure they,her family,are all fine and well,living life. LS only lived with this brother until he was 2.They only met up at a holiday gatherings,here and there over the years as half siblings 14 years apart.Maybe that was a hidden blessing in hindsight
There was no mental break. The actions she did following the murder shows she knew what she was doing. Many people have suffered the abuse she claims and would never do such an act. Manipulation was rampant to those around her (even the video with G and selling his switch). Her brother is from a very small town in NC. I’m sure this is the talk of the town. I’m sure that the family is harmed by her actions. I hope people can separate her actions from their actions.
This is absolutely heart breaking 😢 One person who made an impulsive decision, how it is going to effect so many different people!! You can hear the hurt, disappointment and disgusted in her brothers voice.
I am from his community. Although this county it's top 10 in NC or it may even be in the whole usa for crime, there are communities within this county where family sticks together and love each other. Moving around many times I have never been in a place where the people have such pride and love for their families. The mother's are good and work hard in raising their children. It's hard because also it is one of the poorest countries in NC. They respect their mothers and many come from families that have only a mother. This isn't in every situation but for the most part it is true. These communities mainly consist of Indian tribes who have great pride, respect and love for family. This is the Lowry family. This young man is loyal to family and a need to defend and honor family. What I'm trying to say that it is extremely hard for the Lowry family. I know they are all carrying a heavy load and embarrassment that one of theirs could have committed such a horrible crime. I pray for the Stauch family but also pray for the Lowry family. There's so much I would like to say but it's really unexplainable. For those of you who are not negative about this young man, I thank you. We don't have any idea the pain they are carrying. Prayers for healing all involved.
@@Lumberton60well I’m not sure why people would cause them more grief, they didn’t do anything wrong. I know that some of her aunts were supporting her in jail, and the jail calls are leaked online so the public thought that it was outrageous none of them called her out or flat out told her what she did was horrible and wrong. Or just that they didn’t believe her lies in general. But her brother/mother/family had nothing to do with her awful crime. They were probably a victim of her manipulation also, she manipulated everyone and almost everything that came out of her mouth was a lie. She is absolutely repulsive and personally her daughter is going to have a much better life free of her manipulation and lies now that she’s locked up for good. Letecia is disgusting and she absolutely only cares about herself.
Does anyone know if they will have the psycho testify? The poor brother, you can see he feels so much guilt for not asking more questions about the suitcase. There's no way his mind would have let him go there at that time, as he is not a monster like his sibling
I'm sorry to ask. But what is the significance of the suitcase? Was poor little Gannon inside of it when her family was there? I can't think of anything else. I know she left him inside the suitcase in florida.ugh it's so hard to write those words. Who could hurt a child? It's weighing on my heart and mind. Can you clarify what is the importance of his testimony about the heavy suitcase. Thank you!💙 As for the psycho testifying. I would bet good money she will. People who take the stand are all cut out of the same mold. She checks all the boxes. I just read a letter she wrote to the judge from jail. She signed it; Dr. L. Stouch She thinks she's the smartest person in the room. I have a feeling she just might take the stand.
@@ajordan1976 hey Audrey, my understanding, Gannon was in the suitcase for 2 days in the freezing weather, then he was trucked from Colorado to Florida where she (and her daughter Harley) drove to Colorado and dumped the suitcase containing Gannon over the bridge. He was found by two workers, they opened and one of them said, they saw two little feet. 😭😭😭 My babies are all grown, but I remember when they were Gannon's age, and especially my son, just ultimately precious. I'm not sure if that answers your question. I also wasn't able to watch the trial today, so I'm just now watching it with T's brother on the stand 💔
@@Lyddiebits thanks for your response. My babies are all grown and having babies of their own. Agreed I can't imagine hurting such a vulnerable and sweet child. The brother's testimony is what prompted my question. He testified that he saw her struggling with the suitcase and noted how heavy it looked. He asked her if she needed help and she declined. He says it was definitely something that stuck with him and he's dealing with lots of guilt. So I was wondering if that poor boy was inside at this time. Maybe you can help me more after you listen to him. He's a good young man. She hurt so many people. This was a rough day to hear. Go slow and be gentle with yourself.
@@ajordan1976 when her brother helped her load everything into the second van he noticed her lifting a heavy suitcase. She told him was all of her softball gear. It was actually Gannon. Which he didn't know at the time. He did say that something felt off. I hate to write those words as well but I think it's important for everyone to know what a monster she is😪
Re Jury question, during questioning, the implied course of events was that she retrieved the suitcase from wherever she had stashed ut when she said she was running out for dog food etc but was gone way too long.
The fact there are specific names of these supposed personalities, tells me that she told these defense lawyers specific names and stories and that people close to her would have witnessed these things. She must have thought being insane would keep her from being tried. Like the judge would simply take the word of the shrink or something. With the wild stories that she told when she was desperate, I hope that the jury realizes she would absolutely do the same thing again to get out of this. Her complete lack of emotions SCREAMS sociopath.
I hate Latiesha. She’s a horrible excuse for a whatever. But her brother is a good man. She just about broke his heart. It’s infuriating to see how this has impacted him. He doesn’t deserve any of this. I can’t even imagine how hard this must have been for him.
I always see family sticking by these reprehensible monsters no matter what they’ve done. I get it, family is family but there has to be a line or a limit otherwise you’re just condoning and enabling their wicked actions. I am so glad to see this woman’s family are living in reality here with the rest of us and not being delusional and insulting to the victim like so many other families are in these cases (Chris Watts’ parents and their continued disrespect and vitriol toward Shannan after her death was particularly disgusting). I am so sad to see this poor man hurting so badly because of what his sister did. He has shown more emotion for Gannon in the first 5 minutes of testimony than Leticia ever has in the over 3 years since she murdered him. He seems like a good guy with a supportive wife and family. I hope he can get past this or at least cope with it better in time. I could not imagine. I have two deceased heroin addict siblings who died before 25 and put us all through hell in the years leading up to their deaths and it’s so hard to deal with even now and in the end they really only hurt themselves. I can’t imagine what it must be like to know your flesh and blood did something this heinous and is so callous about it. Great job, Dakota! You did the right thing ❤
Poor guy you can tell he has a pure heart and soul. I can’t even imagine how hard it is for him to stand on the trial and testify against his scum sister. They don’t even belong in the same family. I legit cried listening to his testimony. Especially when he cried out why. And when he said they came out to help look for the boy Sounds like their mother was a good mom to them. She just didn’t know how to pick the right men for herself. I can’t believe that P.O.S. is trying to claim she’s crazy cause her mom was a P.O.S. mother. I would never let anyone talk about my parents. Especially use them as an excuse for my poor behavior.
My heart breaks for her brother, how can she do what she did , cause so much pain to her own family as well and be so damn cold??!! Its just unbelievable, and disgusting.
He seems like a sweet passive guy He already felt judged when he went to Colorado and did not have the knowledge he does now. It’s sad some people are still judging him for his sister’s actions. He only has control of his own actions and not who his family is.
Oh B.S. on the Defense Attorney trying to make Latacia's murdering Gannon BECAUSE she was abused as a child by her Step-father. No excuse is Acceptable for murdering your child or any other child!
God bless this mans heart😢 it would truly be excruciating to be put in this situation. Lie-ticia devastated so many families, people. I couldn’t imagine but you did the RIGHT thing Dakota. Nobody made Lie-ticia do what she did to that poor baby Gannon😢 She wasn’t crazy, she wasn’t psychotic. Selfish and sorry, yes. She was aware, calculated, manipulative and determined to murder, dispose of the body all in an attempt to cover up her crime. You stood up for Gannon and getting Justice in the face of this remorseless murderer. An innocent 11 year old whose only fault was being left in the hands of this vile woman. She is not at all concerned by the fact she viciously took Gannons life and destroyed his family but has also destroyed her own and put them in this sh*tty situation. Thank you for doing the right thing. I hope you hold your head high for standing up for Gannon💙
I just started following this case and I am just shocked oh my gosh thank God for the bridge workers that found the suitcase her brother that was heart-wrenching and I can't believe she had his body in the cargo van the whole time with her family and police present that's not a mental person with mental issues that's a psychopath I really hope Justice is done in this trial and may Gannon rest in peace and his family find some kind of Peace the husband's patience with her on the telephone calls made my hair stand up on my arms unbelievable just goes to show you never really know who a person is until they show you or show you the real person they are I'm not a vengeful person but I really hope she rots in her cell
Poor man, this person shattered every bit of confidence and faith he had in her and anybody else she needed along the way. He has been looking up to his cool big sister all his life she took advantage of him. I do have a gut feeling “aunt Brenda” had some suspicions, just by the few comments Dakota made.
I just love her brother...he must've been the only sibling who got any moral & ethics genes. He seems kind and like a stand up guy. He's not pulling any BS nor is he throwing her under the bus.
Her brother all heartbroken and trying to compose himself best he can and NOT have I seen her wipe her eyes our blow her nose from sobbing ,even all the days i sat and watched from day 1 I have not seen her wipe a tear away! And she sits there with her hand up on her face or hair in her face or head down but through the autopsy photos of Gannon I know I'm not the only 1 who seen her looking! But not 1 single tear did she wipe away from seeing those!!! She shows absolutely 0 remorse since say 1! And I'm sure the judge and jury are seeing it too! Death row for this coward and devil!!
Three shots! Three!! Think about that for a minute?! You know she didn’t miss, she was prolonging his horror!!! She was enjoying this!! 17 stab wounds before, and all the other wounds we will unfortunately have to hear about!! This little man needs justice!!!!
@@LoveShackSarah88 I think the torture started well before with the bath salts. I hate her, too. My son looks so much like Gannon. This case has weighed heavy on my heart since the beginning
Hugs for her brother. It is so clear that he is a gentle, kind soul that values truth and justice
I thought the same. When he cried out, “why?!” I was shocked and felt so bad for him. It was sooo from his heart:( poor guy. He seems like such a salt of the earth, good guy who loved his family, his wife, mom, and sister. Say a prayer for him. For them. ❤
Indeed. Perfect example of a true gentleman. God Bless him and his family. I couldn't imagine my sister doing such a heinous thing, especially to an innocent child. May God have mercy on Letecia's soul.

Especially since she’s not close with him
@@AliceA333 right?!?!
Silly comment
This beginning with Dakota was heartbreaking and the integrity of the judge and the prosecutor was incredible … how the judge talked to him was like nothing I’ve ever witnessed. They are top notch. Such a tough trial.💔
You know. I'm from SC. He seems like a good "southern boy." I'm reviewing video for trails. Just a law student. Go to USC. this makes me sad. I can't imagine offing my daughter. or my sister doing it. I'd be heartbroken. So crazy. I'm sad.
@@idkjamesBoth Leticia Stauch and Chris Watts are from The Carolinas. I feel bad for Stauch’s family down there- they made it sound like people where they lived were mistreating them because of this case or something.
I feel so awful for her brother, Al's family and all the innocent people affected by this horrible person who murdered Gannon.
His sister tried to protect her young brother the only way she knew how due to the S. Abuse she had endured it’s no excuse for this horrible crime she committed but by trying to save a brother what happened in her mind from going to protection to homicide? It’s really hard to equivocate
@@blues7160 there is no evidence that this monster Tisa was S abused so stop trying to tarnish a man that is no longer here to speak for himself..Tisa is a liar and has lied about s abuse numerous times..she has no credibility..I don’t believe she was ever abused by anyone stop the foolishness and let Dakota’s father RIP
@@FreeB1Speechyou gave your opinion, as in, "I don't believe....". Others have opinions. It's the comment section, and the entire thread is our opinions. No need to be nasty to someone
@@marshapieroni6677 you’re the one getting nasty with @freespeech. All they were saying is Letecia is a known liar (which can’t even be debated because we just listened to hours worth of her lying and gaslighting in the recorded phone calls.) and not to speak ill of the dead…. More accusations of S3xual assault against someone who passed away and can’t confirm or deny it. We all know she was lying about it when she said edquardo S3xual assaulted her and then Quency Brown. She clearly has a habit of lying about it!
@@FreeB1Speech I agree that she egregiously stretched the ability for anyone to trust anything she says. Her brother understands that his father had issues with alcohol and physical abuse but didn’t seem to think he was a s abuser. His time in war was the impetus for his issues according to his mom. I’d bet he saw through her manipulations and gas lighting and called her on it. Hence she didn’t like him and they battled. She walked and didn’t come back till he was deceased.
As far as the story we heard about all the peeps in and out of her moms life, her brother didn’t seem to have that experience. He said she was a good mother and no one should think differently. Yes he is younger, but I believe him.
Her mom flew out to help her when no one believed her. I wonder how her mom feels about the way she is being painted by the defense and T.
There are no winners in this story:( it’s all so sad.
Her brother is a precious man. A soft, sweet soul. I love his southern drawl!
Can't believe they are even related. I think his heart is broken over Gannon.
Yeah she not only putting Gannon through it she put her own family through it that's so selfish and ignorant those poor family lives will never be the same 🙏🙏🙏❤
You're kidding, right.

@@copper4441 so could Gannons parents too! You don't know them yet you have empathy for them. No one has empathy for Tecia she doesn't deserve it. But there are very few people on this planet worse than Tecia. But her family deserves sympathy as well. Frankly you're terrible for judging him and not feeling any sympathy or empathy because his sister is a monster.
@@semi-moronepsilon4605 I'm not sure if you could see it, but I thumb down your comment.
👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
People always focus on the victim's family but they forget the impact the crime has on the perpetrator's family as well. It devastates an entire community.
Yeah, and it's especially depressing because people will turn against the perpetrator's family. Just like what happened to Sue Klebold.
Her brother really needs to be commended he did a phenomenal job
He really did. You can tell it was hard and that he was genuinely disturbed and disgusted by his sister's actions. I would have thought Harley would have been the one who was emotional bc she lived with Gannon and he was her little brother, but nope. Young people these days are definitely different.
@@itzyzaza1806 that’s my exact thought And reason I don’t fully trust her and that she was so naive and clueless on how her mom treated Gannon
@@rookiecookchick My mom was really manipulative also, I had to learn my own tricks to survive as well cuz everything was pretty bad growing up. many times my mom would involve me in her "games". I feel like Harley acted way too stupid about stuff. I mean unless she's really dumb, like below average intelligence, she knew way more than the public wants to believe. Maybe she just tried to ignore it, but u can't live with ppl & not see whats going on. Its impossible.
This is definitely not a family/group of people who are too “smart” or good at communicating. And that makes me feel even worse for her brother. I’m very new to this case and I don’t understand how Al or anyone could put up with her enough to marry her. Then, I read a post/theory that said Al was divorcing her and that’s why she killed Gannon. I wonder how long they were married and lived together and how he kept his sanity and again, why marry her and bring this class A psycho into his kids lives.
@@nicole6323he mom is abusive and treated her like a child and not in a good way, she is below age level mindset you can tell and that's her mother's doing, she stifled her mental growth 😢
Damn she was ballsy ass hell ! With that body in that van ! I can’t believe this testimony! I’m so thankful her brother was a good man and brave enough to stand up for this boy . Thank you thank you !
I know!!! How was it not smelling to high heaven? There was a body in there decomposing, I can’t imagine the smell
It broke my heart hearing Leticia‘s little brothers testimony about his sister struggling with the suitcase and that she didn’t need any help moving it. Something about this big strong southern man choking and stuttering trying to hold back tears. RIP Gannon 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Listening to Leticia’s brother and so emotionally devastated and heartbroken and immediately tore into leticia’s ass calling her out for murdering Gannon . Harley shows not much of anything. She showed me absolutely nothing that made me care her feelings . You don’t ride 1400 miles with 5 day old decomposing body and not know what the hell is going on and happened. She should have been charged as an accessory or for not reporting this crime. Maybe she cut a deal with the state but did didn’t give any shit up. She may have inherited too much of Leticia’s genes.

I'm impressed by the empathy both the Judge & prosecutor had for the brother when he had his breakdown. It's good to know that there are good people like that in positions of power.
Me too
Well you should know that there are far more good people in this world than bad.
They had empathy because the emotional witness was on the state’s side. I can’t see them displaying the same empathy for an emotional witness on the defence’s side.
Man this absolutely crushed my heart hearing his pain for an innocent child! He is in so much pain and I’m not by any means down playing anyones pain this this awful situation! I had to pause my phone and pray for this man to help get him through this difficult questioning!
I think too. Imagine someone you love. Someone you think could never purposely harm someone else. Imagine too that they are accused and because you KNOW them you believe what they tell you then imagine that you were wrong the entire time. You loved someone that was as evil as Leticia and such a liar. That too is deeply painful. Not only her crime. But the betrayal. That’s tough. He loved his sister and was out there to support her and he was there when she was struggling with that heavy suitcase. Sad on so many levels.
Amen Brother,. 🙏. 💙

The Judge's voice is so very soothing in a very dark trial. Justice for Sweet Gannon. Comfort to The Family of Gannon, Healing and Love.
Thank G-D there are some of us out there who have watchful eyes protecting us.
The judge has a beautiful voice. He sounds like a radio personality.
💜
I totally agree. He has the voice for radio. I’ll tell you who’s voice is not soothing her brothers. I couldn’t stand listening to him talk like that it’s almost like he was crying as he talked.
That her lawyers didn't object when her brother had his outburst or ask for it to be struck from the record says everything!
When was that because I think I missed it. My heart hurt for him. You can just hear the pain and betrayal in his voice.

“Why techia!” 😢 his breakdown broke my heart, that judge is an angel !❤
She had absolutely no emotion towards her brother's outburst. That's unbelievable to me.
She is downright evil. People like her should never be able to exist, or walk among us.
The fact that she just sits there emotionally unattached to her own family. Says more than any words could ever say.
The 1st big question defense asks of the brother, referencing prosecutions last question, he did not get the answer he thought he was going to get. And good for the brother being honest!
Why didn’t she just leave and get a divorce. She didn’t love Al anymore and she hated his son… what was the point of murdering this poor child?!
EXACTLY! I think it's because she wanted to hurt him. It wasn't enough to leave him. She blamed Gannon. She wanted him to suffer
Why don't any of the "Chris Watts" just leave?
We just cannot comprehend this evil. Idk that the question can be answered other than, wicked and evil.
@@Lyddiebits I know, I just can’t comprehend killing anyone for anything other than self defense or protecting your own family. It’s heartbreaking to see so many people suffer because someone was selfish and evil. 😟
@Elle Three yes, exactly. Self defense or protection of another.
Oh but she did love him though I think she wanted Al home full time and after trying multiple times with the fake s harassment, the fake pregnancies the fake burglaries not doing it she thought this would
Omg her brother is CRUSHED and look at her!! She’s so unbothered! What a sicko
Man, that’s rough. I feel for this entire family. You can see how much damage this has done to both sides. What an evil woman committing an evil act.
That poor fellow he didn’t ask for all this but either did Gannon and it’s great that he’s trying his best to get thru this so the truth is known and justice will be done.
OMG yeah! I can't imagine how difficult it would be to know someone you love murdered a child. He asked her why she did it, because he KNOWS she's not insane. True Not Guilty by reason of insanity looks like that werewolf case were that guy ate another man's face off in broad daylight. Tecia knew what she was doing was wrong and that's why she tried so hard to hide it. I can't imagine how difficult this must be for him. I have a little sister and she is literally my best friend. She would never do something like this to begin with obvs. But I also feel like there is literally nothing she could do that would make me not love her anymore. There is stuff she could do that would make me furious with her. But there's absolutely nothing that would make me not love her. It's clear that he loves his sister and he loves Harley. He maybe even loved Gannon. Tecia married into that family when Gannon was like a toddler. How heartbreaking. She destroyed her own family, destroyed the family she married into, destroyed the lives of every single person involved in this case. She destroyed the lives of those bridge workers who found a little boy with football socks dumped off the side of a bridge like trash. And I'm sure she ruined the lives of her neighbors as well. They won't trust anyone ever again! Tecia needs to be locked up for society's sake. She literally RUINS the life of every single person she comes into contact with.
Absolutely. Breaks my heart. She has the power to stop this.

If you've never been to Lumberton, NC, here is a great example of the unique accent found there -- one of 7 distinct accents found in NC, prevalent among the Lumbee Tribe who live there. The surnames he mentioned, Locklear and Lowry, are very common there. It is only about an hour's drive from Myrtle Beach, SC, so many people drive from Lumberton to work in tourist industry and other jobs. Though his voice is often strained with emotion, I would've known he was from Lumberton without being told. This man appears to be a very fine person. My heart aches for him, and I hope and pray that he will find peace in bringing the truth.
I found this very interesting, thank you.
Breaks my heart listening to her brother’s quivering voice as he tries to relive this tragic experience. He came to support his sister and stand beside her, truly believing she was being wrongly accused, and then the moment when he realized something just wasn’t right is just heartbreaking. 💔 😭
I was thinking about the situation and imagining myself in it and thinking my God to have a family member, I trusted and believed in pull me into their twisted situation. He must feel such betrayal and heartbreak. Not to mention just the thought of a body being in the vehicle with them, nonetheless of a child, that he likely knew relatively well. My god!
And, the *horror* in the moment of his realization that Gannon’s body was recovered in the same suitcase he saw her leave with, with her struggling with the weight of the suitcase. He must have such severe PTSD from the whole thing, his family coming out to look for Gannon and Leticia carried him out in a suitcase *in their presence*. Wow..
@@Lilysmum u took the words straight from my heart.. that’s exactly how I was feeling about it too. I hope he’s doing okay and finding a way to get thru this horrific trauma. Blows my mind how anyone can ever harm a child.
@@amandastein6247 I can’t imagine what he’s going thru.. I sure hope he’s doing okay. It’s such a horrific tragedy and I don’t think Letecia will ever realize the immense pain and suffering she caused for so many.

Oh my lord! She had his dead body in a suitcase around her family?!?! She is insane actually…but not the legal definition

That caught me, too. This has impacted him so deeply, it’s heartbreaking.
At first I thought he was full of it and trying to be as vague as possible. Reading your comment you are absolutely right. He is haunted by that old heavy suitcase.
Im only a minute or 2 in, and I'm choked up, just hearing her brother's voice! He is a courageous young man . ❤
I feel sorry for this young man. He obviously has a tender heart. Good for him. Justice be done.
Imagine having the courage enough to do whats right...and testify against your own sibling..
This man did his absolute best to try and bring justice to little Gannon. God bless his soul
Well, you can land yourself in jail if you go against a subpoena
She has effected more lives than she'll ever realize it goes beyond the parents, the extended family & friends. It includes all the people that were out searching for him posting things on social media, the different types of investigators, the person that found him, the Detectives, the Coroner, Prosecutors and their team, her attorneys & the list goes on. She became a part of all those lives in the worse way imaginable. There's no defense for something like this she should've plead guilty instead of sending the families through this. Imagine being in that courtroom while looking at the evidence & when that suitcase came in it's 1 thing to see things but to have to smell decomp. and to know the cause of the smell is from your child's body breaking down, and left to rot omg idk how I would've reacted.
Her poor brother. To be honest I hadn’t really given much thought to her family during this. But they are victims too
I watch a lot of true crime and a lot of trials and am def jaded…but her brother had me crying. You can tell he’s a quiet gentle soul ( the complete opposite of his insufferable sister) he clearly isn’t the type that is comfortable on the stand. But he did a really good job, and you can tell how heartbroken he is. Testifying against your family is not easy, but when it’s the right thing to do, you do it, and you do it honestly,he’s proof of that.
Thank you for saying this. I'm offended by the negative comments about him. (Although there aren't many) he is from Lumberton NC and the crime rate is extremely high. Top 10 in the u.s. but there are also communities that have the greatest love for family, very prideful families that stick together. My heart goes out to the Stauch family and to the Lowry family as well.
Aww man he had me crying right along with him. Bless his heart. I hope he's able to find peace and I also hope he knows he did nothing wrong.
Listening to Al’s voice crack when mentioning hearing Gannons voice for the last time, and Watching Dakota and Harley break down, broke make my heart. This evil woman has hurt so many people and this will live within these people forever. Knowing now, that you unknowingly helped carry a child’s body in a suitcase, is a disturbing thing to live with. Prayers to this family.
Harley didn't break down.
She’ll pay for it, for ETERNITY
I can’t even imagine
The pain in this brothers voice is heartbreaking 💔 anc SHE shows nothing
Watching from Los Angeles CA. Been invested since news broke in January of 2020. My heart hurts for that little boy. The images yesterday were absolutely heart breaking. I noticed and understood why his parents weren’t in the court room. This morning when her brother took the stand is another testament of the heartache the entire family is still experiencing. I know no amount of prison time/ Sentence implemented on the villain ,will heal their wounds, but I hope that justice for their innocent young victim , brings them some peace.
She butchered a child and then shot him in the face and then fastidiously as a person of her caliber could, she methodically and purposefully tried to cover it up. She isn't insane. Crazy, you bet.
Calculated the entire event. cold
This broke my heart! I'm praying for her family, they didnt do anything and they are hurting. Knowing that your sister did what she did to that beautiful angel, its sickening.
The biggest struggle is to love someone and Want to believe so badly they would never be this kind of evil and to have to come to terms with the truth of the person you love is such a fight. Even if he said he loves his sister I wouldn’t be upset or surprised. We love who we love…doesn’t mean we aren’t disappointed or deeply hurt. Leticia hurt so many people. I feel for their entire family.
Small towns can be brutal, and when he answered that it was tough for his family there, it made me so sad for them. They have no part in what she did to little Gannon, and the people in their home town should know better than to gossip and harass the family.
@@zxy78267I agree it isn't right.
How can she sit there especially after the testimony of her brother. She needs to stand up and own this for Gannon's family and for her own. So very sad.
One can know that there are family and friends. I never gave them alot of thought until now, and I'm deeply ashamed. Seeing, hearing this - May God bless them, keep them, heal their shattered hearts.
This woman allowed the hate she felt for Gannon and his mother grow and overpower her intelligence. That hatred was stronger than any love she felt for her family, the people who loved her. She didn’t just hurt Gannon and his mother. She hurt her husband who loved her and trusted her by killing his son. She hurt her brother who loved her and looked up to her by destroying the image he had of her. She hurt her daughter who depended on her by having her live the rest of her life without a mother. This woman doesn’t deserve the people who loved her.
I feel so badly for her brother, her daughter, and their family. She's caused nothing but misery for all those people.
Great comments by viewers! Fantastic attorneys & judge! Most professional trial I have ever seen!
Ughhhh his start of his testimony yelling at his sister gave me goosebumps.. He did absolutely phenomenal and that evil thing sitting there with no sort of emotions to what she has done to EVERYBODY and how she has completely shattered everyone's inner souls and light is just so gut wrenching.
I know she didn’t even flinch not one bit of reaction
@@Lilysmum absolutely none!!! Her being called Evil or a monster is too good for her.. what she is is undescribable! I WISH this country had torture chambers for people like her! I don't care if it's inhumane, people like her are not even human period so it would NOT be inhumane at all!!
This is very sad for Letecia’s brother, so sorry he has to go through it. God bless his family. He clearly is heartbroken like any family member would be. Poor sweet young man. The judge and prosecutor are helpful and kind to Mr Lowery. You did good sir. It’s very nice you came in support of your mother.
Also notable that you stood up for your mom saying she was a good mother to you. Being in court is nerve wracking.
This judge, he is so gentle with the brother.
If there was a prestigious award for best judge of the USA I'd definitely recommend this judge.
She dragged her loved ones into Gannons murder. She’s a grotesque psychopath.
Is that name "mango smoothie" from Chris Rock's most recent Netflix special by chance?
God I just want to hug him . How sad this entire situation. That 🤬
Her brother seemed more hurt than the dad. You can tell hes a good man.
Hearing him talk makes me want to honestly cry. I can hear his pain.
This man's testimony is just heartbreaking. My thoughts are with both of the families because of the deep trauma they have all experienced.
I feel so bad for her brother, this is awful, Justice is going to happen for Ganon. Rest in piece.sweet boy. God has you in his arms now . No more pain no more being scared........ Bless the family and Dad he is in our hearts, we will never forget Ganon.
As a juror I would have asked if brother had ever known her to be under a Drs or therapist's care for any mental health issues.
He would have mentioned it when asked by the prosecutor about her mental health. No need to ask that question
The brother had such a hard time...my heart goes out to him. He did the best he could possibly do considering the subject!
Oh my goodness her poor brother. What a beautiful soul to have to endure this evilness she has caused. I hope he finds peace.
In my life I don't think I have ever felt as sorry for a witness and relation of an accused as I do for this man. You can tell he is absolutely destroyed, heartbroken, in so much pain and unable to fathom that someone, never mind a blood relation, could do as she did. Don't know you, will never meet you, but Dakota (awesome name by the way), please know I am so sorry for you and your loved ones and I wish you all healing and much strength going forward.
The ripple effect of TRAUMA & HEARTACHE this woman has inflicted is heartbreaking.
At 27:25 and I'm realizing this woman caused pain to even her own family 🥺💔
I'm sure they,her family,are all fine and well,living life. LS only lived with this brother until he was 2.They only met up at a holiday gatherings,here and there over the years as half siblings 14 years apart.Maybe that was a hidden blessing in hindsight
Praying that Letecias brother find peace one day and a way to live on.. to spite the trauma he's been through.
He is pissed with the insinuating that his mom and dad abused Leticia.
Oh her poor brother. He is so traumatized by what she made him do.
There was no mental break. The actions she did following the murder shows she knew what she was doing. Many people have suffered the abuse she claims and would never do such an act. Manipulation was rampant to those around her (even the video with G and selling his switch). Her brother is from a very small town in NC. I’m sure this is the talk of the town. I’m sure that the family is harmed by her actions. I hope people can separate her actions from their actions.
Yes, small town gossip and harassment is brutal.
This is absolutely heart breaking 😢 One person who made an impulsive decision, how it is going to effect so many different people!! You can hear the hurt, disappointment and disgusted in her brothers voice.
How do you know it was "impulsive"?
I hope that her brother finds peace.
I’d like to give her brother a hug, he seems like a wonderful man and he did the right thing. We’re not judging you and your mother sir.
I am from his community. Although this county it's top 10 in NC or it may even be in the whole usa for crime, there are communities within this county where family sticks together and love each other. Moving around many times I have never been in a place where the people have such pride and love for their families. The mother's are good and work hard in raising their children. It's hard because also it is one of the poorest countries in NC. They respect their mothers and many come from families that have only a mother. This isn't in every situation but for the most part it is true. These communities mainly consist of Indian tribes who have great pride, respect and love for family. This is the Lowry family. This young man is loyal to family and a need to defend and honor family. What I'm trying to say that it is extremely hard for the Lowry family. I know they are all carrying a heavy load and embarrassment that one of theirs could have committed such a horrible crime. I pray for the Stauch family but also pray for the Lowry family. There's so much I would like to say but it's really unexplainable. For those of you who are not negative about this young man, I thank you. We don't have any idea the pain they are carrying. Prayers for healing all involved.
@@Lumberton60well I’m not sure why people would cause them more grief, they didn’t do anything wrong. I know that some of her aunts were supporting her in jail, and the jail calls are leaked online so the public thought that it was outrageous none of them called her out or flat out told her what she did was horrible and wrong. Or just that they didn’t believe her lies in general. But her brother/mother/family had nothing to do with her awful crime. They were probably a victim of her manipulation also, she manipulated everyone and almost everything that came out of her mouth was a lie. She is absolutely repulsive and personally her daughter is going to have a much better life free of her manipulation and lies now that she’s locked up for good. Letecia is disgusting and she absolutely only cares about herself.
Her brother broke me. His pain is so raw. He seems like a good guy, nothing like tesha.
Does anyone know if they will have the psycho testify? The poor brother, you can see he feels so much guilt for not asking more questions about the suitcase. There's no way his mind would have let him go there at that time, as he is not a monster like his sibling
I'm sorry to ask. But what is the significance of the suitcase?
Was poor little Gannon inside of it when her family was there?
I can't think of anything else. I know she left him inside the suitcase in florida.ugh it's so hard to write those words. Who could hurt a child?
It's weighing on my heart and mind. Can you clarify what is the importance of his testimony about the heavy suitcase.
Thank you!💙
As for the psycho testifying. I would bet good money she will. People who take the stand are all cut out of the same mold. She checks all the boxes.
I just read a letter she wrote to the judge from jail. She signed it;
Dr. L. Stouch
She thinks she's the smartest person in the room.
I have a feeling she just might take the stand.
@@ajordan1976 hey Audrey, my understanding, Gannon was in the suitcase for 2 days in the freezing weather, then he was trucked from Colorado to Florida where she (and her daughter Harley) drove to Colorado and dumped the suitcase containing Gannon over the bridge.
He was found by two workers, they opened and one of them said, they saw two little feet.
😭😭😭
My babies are all grown, but I remember when they were Gannon's age, and especially my son, just ultimately precious.
I'm not sure if that answers your question. I also wasn't able to watch the trial today, so I'm just now watching it with T's brother on the stand
💔
@@Lyddiebits thanks for your response.
My babies are all grown and having babies of their own. Agreed I can't imagine hurting such a vulnerable and sweet child.
The brother's testimony is what prompted my question.
He testified that he saw her struggling with the suitcase and noted how heavy it looked. He asked her if she needed help and she declined. He says it was definitely something that stuck with him and he's dealing with lots of guilt.
So I was wondering if that poor boy was inside at this time.
Maybe you can help me more after you listen to him. He's a good young man. She hurt so many people.
This was a rough day to hear.
Go slow and be gentle with yourself.
@@ajordan1976 when her brother helped her load everything into the second van he noticed her lifting a heavy suitcase. She told him was all of her softball gear. It was actually Gannon. Which he didn't know at the time. He did say that something felt off. I hate to write those words as well but I think it's important for everyone to know what a monster she is😪
@@ajordan1976 she does not have a doctorate degree. She doesn’t have a degree at all. She got fired because they found out
I’ve heard a lot of testimony; this one is far-and-away the most gut wrenching, heartbreaking one of all.
Edit: She’s such an absolute ghoul.
Re Jury question, during questioning, the implied course of events was that she retrieved the suitcase from wherever she had stashed ut when she said she was running out for dog food etc but was gone way too long.
This judge has the most amazing voice! I could listen to him all day! 😍
This poor man. My god this is heartbreaking. For some reason I couldn’t find his testimony as it happened - it’s just devastating
She's pure evil, no soul. She didn't have any reaction to her own brother breaking down like that. I feel so bad for him.
The fact there are specific names of these supposed personalities, tells me that she told these defense lawyers specific names and stories and that people close to her would have witnessed these things. She must have thought being insane would keep her from being tried. Like the judge would simply take the word of the shrink or something. With the wild stories that she told when she was desperate, I hope that the jury realizes she would absolutely do the same thing again to get out of this.
Her complete lack of emotions SCREAMS sociopath.
Her brother is a strong soul. Speaking truth through hard memories. But staying true 💯
She's a menace to everyone around her.
Some she kills. Even kids.
Can you imagine what a great dad and grandpa this judge is.
She put a whole lot of grief on a whole lot of people! Precious young child had his whole life ahead of him and this evilness murdered him smh
I hate Latiesha. She’s a horrible excuse for a whatever. But her brother is a good man. She just about broke his heart. It’s infuriating to see how this has impacted him. He doesn’t deserve any of this. I can’t even imagine how hard this must have been for him.
I have never cried so much as much as I did with this case. It’s downright nauseating.
I always see family sticking by these reprehensible monsters no matter what they’ve done. I get it, family is family but there has to be a line or a limit otherwise you’re just condoning and enabling their wicked actions. I am so glad to see this woman’s family are living in reality here with the rest of us and not being delusional and insulting to the victim like so many other families are in these cases (Chris Watts’ parents and their continued disrespect and vitriol toward Shannan after her death was particularly disgusting). I am so sad to see this poor man hurting so badly because of what his sister did. He has shown more emotion for Gannon in the first 5 minutes of testimony than Leticia ever has in the over 3 years since she murdered him. He seems like a good guy with a supportive wife and family. I hope he can get past this or at least cope with it better in time. I could not imagine. I have two deceased heroin addict siblings who died before 25 and put us all through hell in the years leading up to their deaths and it’s so hard to deal with even now and in the end they really only hurt themselves. I can’t imagine what it must be like to know your flesh and blood did something this heinous and is so callous about it. Great job, Dakota! You did the right thing ❤
Poor guy you can tell he has a pure heart and soul. I can’t even imagine how hard it is for him to stand on the trial and testify against his scum sister. They don’t even belong in the same family.
I legit cried listening to his testimony. Especially when he cried out why. And when he said they came out to help look for the boy
Sounds like their mother was a good mom to them. She just didn’t know how to pick the right men for herself. I can’t believe that P.O.S. is trying to claim she’s crazy cause her mom was a P.O.S. mother. I would never let anyone talk about my parents. Especially use them as an excuse for my poor behavior.
She didn't even flintch when he yelled Why! Wow
My heart breaks for her brother, how can she do what she did , cause so much pain to her own family as well and be so damn cold??!! Its just unbelievable, and disgusting.
This judge is so understanding...he's great
He seems like a sweet passive guy He already felt judged when he went to Colorado and did not have the knowledge he does now. It’s sad some people are still judging him for his sister’s actions. He only has control of his own actions and not who his family is.
Oh B.S. on the Defense Attorney trying to make Latacia's murdering Gannon BECAUSE she was abused as a child by her Step-father.
No excuse is Acceptable for murdering your child or any other child!
Don't worry, the jury will not go for that
So Jasmine, Maria, and Harmony are supposedly her other personalities?!? Just ridiculous.
Yeah, I was wondering what that was about, too.
Right along with all those “men”
God bless this mans heart😢 it would truly be excruciating to be put in this situation. Lie-ticia devastated so many families, people. I couldn’t imagine but you did the RIGHT thing Dakota. Nobody made Lie-ticia do what she did to that poor baby Gannon😢 She wasn’t crazy, she wasn’t psychotic. Selfish and sorry, yes. She was aware, calculated, manipulative and determined to murder, dispose of the body all in an attempt to cover up her crime. You stood up for Gannon and getting Justice in the face of this remorseless murderer. An innocent 11 year old whose only fault was being left in the hands of this vile woman. She is not at all concerned by the fact she viciously took Gannons life and destroyed his family but has also destroyed her own and put them in this sh*tty situation. Thank you for doing the right thing. I hope you hold your head high for standing up for Gannon💙
This judge seems like a great person
Shocking, heartbreaking testimony today.
No emotion, even when her brother is torn apart by her actions as well as Gannon family 😢
Her attorney knows she is a guilty person and I think he thinks she is full of bullshit.
She has admitted guilty, they are just trying to get her insanity.
I just started following this case and I am just shocked oh my gosh thank God for the bridge workers that found the suitcase her brother that was heart-wrenching and I can't believe she had his body in the cargo van the whole time with her family and police present that's not a mental person with mental issues that's a psychopath
I really hope Justice is done in this trial and may Gannon rest in peace and his family find some kind of Peace the husband's patience with her on the telephone calls made my hair stand up on my arms unbelievable just goes to show you never really know who a person is until they show you or show you the real person they are
I'm not a vengeful person but I really hope she rots in her cell
43:51 That attorney doesn’t know the difference between a half sibling and step sibling.
Poor man, this person shattered every bit of confidence and faith he had in her and anybody else she needed along the way. He has been looking up to his cool big sister all his life she took advantage of him. I do have a gut feeling “aunt Brenda” had some suspicions, just by the few comments Dakota made.
No reaction at all to her brothers emotions…..psychopath
Props to you, for standing strong and being a voice for Gannon. ❤ God bless you. Evil will not win
I just love her brother...he must've been the only sibling who got any moral & ethics genes. He seems kind and like a stand up guy. He's not pulling any BS nor is he throwing her under the bus.
We don’t even know her other siblings
How did she get that case out of the house with police checking everything 🤷♀️
She had moved the suitcase into the place she kept going back & forth to..woods someplace I think
Because they were checking the house but not raiding it and going through suitcases and drawers
Her brother all heartbroken and trying to compose himself best he can and NOT have I seen her wipe her eyes our blow her nose from sobbing ,even all the days i sat and watched from day 1 I have not seen her wipe a tear away! And she sits there with her hand up on her face or hair in her face or head down but through the autopsy photos of Gannon I know I'm not the only 1 who seen her looking! But not 1 single tear did she wipe away from seeing those!!! She shows absolutely 0 remorse since say 1! And I'm sure the judge and jury are seeing it too! Death row for this coward and devil!!
Three shots! Three!! Think about that for a minute?! You know she didn’t miss, she was prolonging his horror!!! She was enjoying this!! 17 stab wounds before, and all the other wounds we will unfortunately have to hear about!! This little man needs justice!!!!
@@LoveShackSarah88 I think the torture started well before with the bath salts. I hate her, too. My son looks so much like Gannon. This case has weighed heavy on my heart since the beginning
