From Home Alone to Home Depot (Not the Fun Kind)
Let's rewind a bit. Gannon's stepmother, Letecia Stauch, reported him missing. Authorities were like, "Uh huh, and where were you when this happened?" Turns out, Letecia was busy at Home Depot, picking up some cleaning supplies (emphasis on the "suspicious"). Investigators, with their spidey senses tingling, started digging.
Rental Rhumba: The Great Escape (That Wasn't)
Letecia, bless her heart, wasn't exactly the picture of a grieving stepmom. Security footage showed her renting not one, but two cars. Rental car number one whisked her husband, who was conveniently out of town, straight to the airport upon his return. Rental car number two? That, my friends, became Letecia's chariot to whisk herself and her daughter all the way to Florida.
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
But wait, there's more! Investigators believe Letecia first stashed Gannon's body somewhere in Colorado before retrieving it later for the grand Florida finale.
Sunshine State Surprise: Suitcase City Under the Bridge
Fast forward to Florida. A maintenance worker under a bridge makes a gruesome discovery – Gannon's remains in a suitcase. The sunshine state suddenly seemed a lot less appealing.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
The Motive? That's a question for the judge and jury, but let's just say Letecia's alibi wasn't exactly airtight.
So How Did Gannon End Up in Florida?
The answer, my friend, is a rental car odyssey fueled by questionable choices. Letecia, it seems, was trying to throw investigators off the scent, but ended up leaving a trail of breadcrumbs wider than a Florida alligator.
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
