New details in Gannon Stauch case, arrest papers leaked on social media

Thursday night 11 News learned new information on the murder of Gannon Stauch and what investigators believe his stepmother did.

11 News has the arrest papers for Letecia Stauch. They were leaked on social media and many people have already seen them. The documents are more than 30 pages. 11 News is choosing not to share the entire document online.

Many of the details in the arrest papers are unsettling and the content may be disturbing to some.

In the arrest papers, detectives say that evidence of blood was found in the 11-year-old's bedroom. Enough that it soaked through the carpet. Authorities say that is where they believe his stepmother killed him on Jan. 27, the same day Letecia reported him missing.

The documents lay out a case that alleges Letecia put Gannon's body in her SUV and dumped his body the next day in an area north of Palmer Lake in Douglas County. They say she cleaned up the crime scene and even went back a few days later to make sure the remains were hidden.

Gannon's remains were eventually found in Florida after Letecia was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

Letecia reportedly called 911 on Jan. 27 at about 6:55 p.m. She claimed Gannon was supposed to be home an hour before. The arrest papers state her story "dramatically" changed multiple times in the coming days.

On Jan. 29, Letecia told detectives she was raped and Gannon was abducted, according to the arrest papers. She claimed the attack was done by a man named "Eguardo." Detectives believed her claims were false and misleading. They couldn't find any evidence to back Letecia's claims.

In her only on-camera interview, shortly after Gannon disappeared, Letecia told 11 News that she would never hurt her stepson.
