The murder trial of the Colorado woman accused of killing her 11-year-old stepson is starting. Letecia Stauch is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Gannon. His body was found inside a suitcase under a bridge near Pensacola, Florida.
Gannon’s body was found in March 2020, inside a suitcase under a bridge near Pensacola, Florida. He had been shot in the jaw, stabbed in the chest and back, and suffered a skull fracture, authorities said. His body was wrapped in bedding from the family’s home, and bullets found in the suitcase appeared to have been fired from a gun kept in the family’s home, investigators previously testified.
Jury selection in the case began Monday and is expected to last about two weeks. Opening statements are scheduled for April 3, and the trial could stretch as long as six weeks. A large pool of jurors is being called because of both extensive prior media coverage of Gannon’s disappearance and the expected length of the trial.
