- 1:01just one guy but now let's give it a go
- 1:04[Music]
- 1:14so to begin let's let's take the story
- 1:17from the top Colorado Springs write
- 1:19smack dab in the middle of the state is
- 1:22where this started in lorson ranch on
- 1:24Mandan Drive in a neighborhood on the
- 1:26very Southwestern side of town
- 1:28surrounded by
- 1:29pretty much nothing at all
- 1:33in a house there lived Eugene Al stouk
- 1:36his wife Leticia Stoke and their tree
- 1:39children seventeen-year-old Harley hunt
- 1:41who the teacher's daughter from a
- 1:43previous relationship the father had
- 1:44since passed away and eleven-year-old
- 1:46Ganon and eight-year-old Elena Stoke
- 1:49Al's children from a previous
- 1:51relationship
- 1:53I'll share custody of both Ganon and
- 1:56Elena uh their mother London she she
- 1:59lived in in South Carolina Al and London
- 2:03they'd been married for over 10 years
- 2:04and you know they had well they had the
- 2:06two kids together but the relationships
- 2:08are deteriorate as it so often does as
- 2:11you see
- 2:12so they split up but you know they they
- 2:14wanted to co-parent their kids in fact
- 2:17it all initially like Landon and her new
- 2:19husband and Al and Alicia initially not
- 2:22lived in South Carolina they'd moved to
- 2:25Colorado in 2019 due to Al's work now
- 2:28tishino upon Mary Al and having her own
- 2:31daughter and then these two new kids
- 2:33wasn't so thrilled to be moving away
- 2:35from her home in South Carolina and she
- 2:37especially wasn't too thrilled about
- 2:39essentially kind of being a stay-at-home
- 2:41mom for two kids that weren't what she
- 2:43viewed as hers resentment would start to
- 2:45build up on Leticia Stokes part Al and
- 2:50Leticia had married in 2015 and Al
- 2:52himself he worked in the military he was
- 2:54working in the Army National Guard full
- 2:56time and was frequently based around the
- 2:58country stationed for weeks at a time
- 3:01she
- 3:04she was something else no [ __ ] Leticia
- 3:06or just Tisha or just tea or just words
- 3:09I can't say right now she had worked in
- 3:10education for pretty much most of her
- 3:12life in North Carolina and in Colorado
- 3:14as an assistant teacher at 36 years of
- 3:17age in 2020 she was going through
- 3:19orientation for an assistant position at
- 3:22Mountain Ridge Middle School
- 3:24however in late January that offer as
- 3:27they say was rescinded this was due to
- 3:29employers finding a number of
- 3:31inconsistencies in her applications she
- 3:34had worked in a number of schools never
- 3:35really full-time jobs more you know
- 3:37assistance substitutes that sort of
- 3:39thing but she never stayed long either
- 3:41she wasn't offered it or she resigned
- 3:43her South Carolina teaching license was
- 3:46actually suspended in 2016 after
- 3:48engaging in quote unprofessional conduct
- 3:50willfully neglecting her Duty and
- 3:53failing to comply with the provisions of
- 3:55her contract and she was out on her ass
- 3:57after that now it's interesting she
- 3:59would work in education and with kids
- 4:02because she certainly didn't like
- 4:03raising her husband's kids or early at
- 4:06least there was something she was very
- 4:07resentful uh she was like a big ball or
- 4:10resentment you know when you take a look
- 4:11at Leticia so keeping kind of just look
- 4:13at her and say
- 4:14I don't like you and you know I haven't
- 4:17even gotten into what she you know did
- 4:19spoiler alert the code of her jib is no
- 4:22bueno as they say in Spain or in other
- 4:24countries where they speak Spanish but
- 4:26she's just a very narcissistic negative
- 4:29character again I haven't even got to
- 4:31what she's gonna do I mean she was
- 4:33resentful that she was Raising and I'll
- 4:35use raising in quotations uh Al's Eugene
- 4:39owls Al's kids Gannon and Elena and she
- 4:41would Google things about I guess the
- 4:44feelings she herself was having things
- 4:47like parenting should be for people not
- 4:50one I'm over doing all the work for my
- 4:52stepkids and their mom doesn't help my
- 4:54husband's ex-wife does nothing for her
- 4:56kids I wonder if my husband's ex-wife is
- 4:59sending me a Valentine's card since I
- 5:01raise her kids one day some people will
- 5:04wish they treated you differently
- 5:08she obviously was free-fallen because
- 5:10those Googles were Tom Petty but that
- 5:12last one
- 5:13let's keep going by the way just to note
- 5:16London the mother did live in South
- 5:17Carolina and had been through a couple
- 5:19of difficult pregnancies so he can kind
- 5:21of ease off there now out in her house
- 5:23wasn't the oddest for Leticia in fact
- 5:25she had a small criminal history never
- 5:27anything serious but stuff like
- 5:28communicating threats unauthorized use
- 5:30of a motor vehicle and that was pretty
- 5:32much it but she would be at her ass yet
- 5:35again in Colorado on the 24th of January
- 5:382020 when she was let go from from you
- 5:41know that position after they found you
- 5:42inconsistencies in her employment
- 5:44history that was just at the time her
- 5:47husband Al stegg was about to go on his

- 11:26how do I describe my G-Man my Ganon
- 11:30gannon's my hero I love him so much he's
- 11:34not only my hero he has multiple people
- 11:37that call him his hero as well such a
- 11:40happy child and he just brings life to
- 11:42every party
- 11:44he his smile even today is keeping us
- 11:46going his infectious smile brings me joy
- 11:48every time I think about it I mean when
- 11:50London flew in to Colorado from South
- 11:52Carolina Leticia and Harley were
- 11:54supposed to pick her up from the airport
- 11:56and take her you know to this search
- 11:57Zone to the house
- 12:00they never showed up they just left this
- 12:02mother going out of her mind would worry
- 12:05abandoned her at the airport ah make
- 12:07your own way and before Gannon went
- 12:09missing she was texting Al who was on
- 12:10his way to Oklahoma and she was texting
- 12:13him that well she felt underappreciated
- 12:15by both Al and Landon but he was saying
- 12:18when he's back they can talk through it
- 12:20she's worse than a child this 36 year
- 12:22old woman is called with the [ __ ]
- 12:24she's coming out with but she's also
- 12:26saying that on the 26th of January which
- 12:28was a Sunday the day before
- 12:30Gannon went missing she was texting Al
- 12:33saying that herself Ganon and Elena had
- 12:36gone in for a hike but they had to come
- 12:38back early because she said Ganon had an
- 12:40accident like you know
- 12:42accident and then she with that evening
- 12:45on that Sunday evening again the day
- 12:47before he went missing he had lit a
- 12:49candle that had caused a small fire and
- 12:51burned uh burned some carpet in their
- 12:53home she then texted Al the cannon was
- 12:55sick and he wouldn't be in school the
- 12:56day after the day he was last seen but
- 12:59apparently she said he was happy enough
- 13:00and fine enough to go and visit his
- 13:01friends that was her story at least I
- 13:04mean she has a few though as you will
- 13:06see like leticia's story kept evolving
- 13:08like Pokemon ain't got [ __ ] on him which
- 13:10just would evolve she was telling
- 13:12different stories every other time for a
- 13:15fact even when you know they were asking
- 13:16her okay Gana went out to visit friends
- 13:17who did he go and see
- 13:19well I don't know she couldn't even name
- 13:21his friends or his friend's parents she
- 13:23still posted on Facebook and such
- 13:24continually adding information after the
- 13:27fact covering up more and more as it was
- 13:29coming out some new information would
- 13:31come out and she'd be like oh [ __ ] I
- 13:32just remembered oh yeah that's why that
- 13:34is the way that it is specifically blood
- 13:36was found in the house to which she said
- 13:38Ganon could his foot when a pool of
- 13:40blood was found under his bed she said
- 13:43he had a nosebleed that day it must have
- 13:45been a heck of a nosebleed
- 13:49I didn't ever look up anything about an
- 13:51artery or something unless it went from
- 13:53something else I'm doing all the work
- 13:55for my step kids and their mom doesn't
- 13:57help oh that bothered me yeah yeah oh
- 14:00yes because I wanted them to be mine
- 14:02like she even released a video well it's
- 14:04it's really just audio which she
- 14:06accidentally took
- 14:08of when she said Gannon spilled the
- 14:10candle which resulted in the carpet
- 14:12being damaged which I think was her
- 14:14premeditating this whole ordeal and she
- 14:16just wanted to prove he was alive at a
- 14:18certain time frustrating initially Scott
- 14:21I can't lie when the TMZ information
- 14:24again the problem says the last time I'm
- 14:26going to ask you I'm just freaking out
- 14:28okay
- 14:29are you sure you didn't do it on purpose
- 14:32okay we promise he comments
- 14:36Pinky Promise thank you okay all right
- 14:39so listen listen
- 14:42all right um we're gonna have to sell
- 14:44stuff to fix it okay so we figure out
- 14:47what we got to sell we can sell the sofa
- 14:49we can so
- 14:51whatever because we got to get it fixed
- 14:53so lady don't be mad at us and kick
- 14:55aside the house
- 14:56okay
- 14:58you got it
- 15:00you got it I'm super worried about it
- 15:03okay listen listen listen listen so
- 15:05tomorrow yeah the day Ganon went missing
- 15:08when he went to visit his friends and
- 15:10never returned things were very very
- 15:12weird in that house and I mean it was
- 15:14pretty much just Leticia and Gannon
- 15:17Harley she was at work Elena the
- 15:19youngest she was in school so it was
- 15:22just the two of them nobody really knows
- 15:23what happened but whatever did
- 15:25it wasn't good what is burning from an
- 15:28arterial bleed direct pressure not
- 15:30controlling do what I don't know it's
- 15:34from your phone the light is what
- 15:35spurting from an arterial bleed
- 15:38no somebody did from your phone I don't
- 15:42like my stepson no I don't like my
- 15:45stepson should I get a divorce
- 15:47a neighbor's CCTV would show that on the
- 15:4927th of January at about 10 30 a.m
- 15:52Leticia and Gannon walked out of the
- 15:54house and got and walked Walked strange
- 15:55and moved moved slowly as if he was
- 15:58drugged they got in a car and they drove
- 16:01off it would later be determined they
- 16:03driven to pet stores
- 16:07two different pet stores I mean if he
- 16:11was as sick as she said he was to the
- 16:13point where he couldn't go to school but
- 16:15he was fine to go out for like these big
- 16:17long drives to pick up
- 16:19pet [ __ ] they got home at 2 20. and he
- 16:22can't really see Gannon come home but
- 16:24it's believed he he was there
- 16:31but then likely as soon as he got in
- 16:33before again even took out his took off
- 16:35his jackets
- 16:37something happened something really bad
- 16:39and of course when Leticia was
- 16:40confronted with all of this she
- 16:43forgot to tell you another story oh yeah
- 16:46um this guy broke in and he sexually
- 16:49assaulted Leticia and kidnapped the kid
- 16:51sorry probably should have mentioned
- 16:53that earlier Leticia said she had hired
- 16:55someone to fix the burnt carpet a guy
- 16:57named either Eduardo or Quincy Brown
- 17:00Quincy Brown was a criminal who just
- 17:03happened to be in the news at the time
- 17:04literally I think Leticia heard the name
- 17:06on the radio he was a sex offender who
- 17:08was doing the rounds and she was like
- 17:10that was him it was him so regardless of
- 17:12who it was I mean she had all these
- 17:14different names for him but it doesn't
- 17:15really matter because he doesn't exist
- 17:16uh she said she okay this is her story
- 17:19is that she hired somebody somebody to
- 17:21come in and fix the bird's carpet and
- 17:23instead of fixing the bird's carpet he
- 17:26um
- 17:27he said she said
- 17:29um she was rape by him sexually
- 17:30assaulted her and then at some point and
- 17:32then kidnapped Ganon and then he hit her
- 17:35in the head and knocked her out she woke
- 17:37up she didn't know what to do that's her
- 17:39story this Karen is alive we have an 11
- 17:42year old kid somewhere
- 17:44being held against its will
- 17:46and you're not telling us you might as
- 17:49well have done this yourself that's why
- 17:50I'm saying however when um you know she
- 17:53was telling the police this there was no
- 17:55marks on her head and she refused like a
- 17:57sexual assault examination
- 17:59um which of course you know would have
- 18:01given information enough to find this
- 18:02guy and she was like actually you know
- 18:04what no she then said she had to clean
- 18:06up the air the area where this attack
- 18:08happened on her and on her her stepson
- 18:11so you know clean up uh the area with
- 18:14with bleach and other kind of cleaning
- 18:16products and that's why luminol will
- 18:19detect blood which it did but you know
- 18:22it might not be visible on the surface
- 18:23and why everything smells like bleach
- 18:25which it also did at this stage the
- 18:27police were fairly sure she cleaned up
- 18:28where she had murdered Ganon not where
- 18:31there had been any sort of [ __ ]
- 18:32abduction
- 18:34and then Leticia did this this interview
- 18:37you are I am Tisha Stout which is
- 18:41gannon's stepmother
- 18:42uh
- 18:44uh you've been a part of the
- 18:46investigation since the very first time
- 18:47you were the last person to see him is
- 18:49that right correct uh what what did you
- 18:52see when you last Saw well I'm not
- 18:54allowed to talk about anything with the
- 18:56case I would more so be willing to talk
- 18:59about how the community needs to have
- 19:01faith and continue to work together and
- 19:03not make these false accusations like
- 19:05the things that have been said that I've
- 19:07disappeared from the community I haven't
- 19:09been there to help but there's lots of
- 19:12reasons behind that uh reasons like
- 19:14death threats right right death threats
- 19:16are one of them my family is getting
- 19:18lots of death threats we counted over 20
- 19:19some deficits already
- 19:22two my husband's ex-wife is living in
- 19:26our home and of course I'm not coming
- 19:27home to do these things and to help with
- 19:29the family when I was kind of like told
- 19:31I couldn't and then many other things
- 19:34that happened with the El Paso County
- 19:35Police Department you know and then
- 19:36during the investigation I was told I
- 19:38wasn't complying and can I elaborate on
- 19:41that please sir yes so I asked for
- 19:44attorney during the interview uh and I
- 19:47was denied that by them I was held
- 19:49because they were blocking the door and
- 19:51I was told I couldn't leave and that if
- 19:52I would have touched them they would
- 19:53have probably you know said I still
- 19:55wasn't complying or said I was you know
- 19:57trying to run away or something but
- 19:59during the interview I asked several
- 20:00times could I stop the interview could I
- 20:02get an attorney could I stopped
- 20:03interview could I get an attorney I was
- 20:04denied I always thought I couldn't get
- 20:06nothing to drink I couldn't go to the
- 20:07bathroom I mean it was continuously that
- 20:10my constitutional rights were violated
- 20:12you know there was comments about Gannon
- 20:14getting pushed off the hike and there
- 20:16was comments about this and that's just
- 20:17not true I took care of Gannon for the
- 20:20last two years in our home because his
- 20:21mother didn't want to do it and I would
- 20:24never never ever hurt this child and I
- 20:27know there's some questions out there
- 20:28about okay so tell me what happens
- 20:30that's up to the investigations when
- 20:32they end up letting you guys know but
- 20:34I've cooperated with them so I'm like
- 20:35why are you saying Ganon is dead he is
- 20:38not dead we are going to find Gannon by
- 20:40the way just fun fact for you it would
- 20:43turn out that this was leticia's second
- 20:44take
- 20:49mom Cameron okay
- 20:52after she answered some of her questions
- 20:54she asked for like a redo she she was
- 20:56thinking you know what I can answer I
- 20:58could sell some of those some of those
- 20:59better after she answered some of their
- 21:01questions she asked for like a redo take
- 21:03take two because yo I could probably
- 21:05sell someone a bit better which which of
- 21:06those takes was better I pulled the
- 21:08Leticia like the first time she said she
- 21:10hopes that when Gannon comes home she
- 21:12gets a sincere apology from her critics
- 21:14and there were many especially her
- 21:17husband ale Stoke I really hope I get a
- 21:19sincere apology from everyone who has
- 21:22made all those things especially from my
- 21:25husband but then she said oh no wait
- 21:28kind of sound like a [ __ ] let me do
- 21:30that again so she answered it like this
- 21:33we just wanted to add a message to
- 21:34Canada from my family is that we love
- 21:37you we miss you and we hope that you
- 21:39come home soon again I can't wait you
- 21:42can come home and let everyone know that
- 21:44you're okay
- 21:45we love you
- 21:47[Music]
- 21:50but it was after this interview Leticia
- 21:52and her daughter Harley in the middle of
- 21:54this huge investigation on search
- 21:56hundreds of people everywhere trying
- 21:59desperately to find an 11 year old boy
- 22:02during all this Leticia and her daughter
- 22:05Harley as I said they outify theirs and
- 22:07the [ __ ] out of there when she left she
- 22:10continued her [ __ ] stories over the
- 22:12phone and she drove with her daughter to
- 22:14Florida and she would later later being
- 22:17March 2nd be arrested in Myrtle Beach
- 22:20she was arrested for murder for the
- 22:23murder of Ghana instead that was finally
- 22:26when the judge signed off on the warrant
- 22:28for her she did not go quietly uh By the
- 22:30way when there were two Neil Young At
- 22:33first she attempted to Sprint uh away
- 22:36and then when I finally did clap clap uh
- 22:39the bracelets on her she was shouting
- 22:41she was roaring it was like the flick of
- 22:44a switch a different Leticia had emerged
- 22:47you might even call her Maria but we'll
- 22:49get to that and while being extraded you
- 22:51know back to Colorado she certainly made
- 22:53the trip interesting on March 4th she
- 22:55attacked the deputy smacking a can of
- 22:57Monster into his head
- 22:59strike
- 23:04stop
- 23:08she keeps on threatening me
- 23:11she keeps on it
- 23:15foreign she keeps on
- 23:18me I will for you she keeps watching
- 23:22down
- 23:24threatening me the whole time
- 23:27teacher give me a yard I will to you
- 23:30should give me yours for you but not
- 23:32watering with me cooperate with me but
- 23:36not with her
- 23:37cooperate with me do you know her
- 23:40like I said it was like another side of
- 23:41her had just been revealed a angry
- 23:45violent side of Leticia
- 23:51and then on March 17th a suitcase was
- 23:54found under a bridge in Pace Florida
- 23:57Bridge inspectors with the Department of
- 23:59Transportation saw a suitcase just under
- 24:01the bridge they opened it and out rolled
- 24:04a small body wrapped in blankets in the
- 24:07fetal position
- 24:08this was 1400 miles from Colorado
- 24:11Springs
- 24:12the body was soon identified as Gannon
- 24:14and it was determined he had been shot
- 24:16in the jaw stabbed and suffered a skull
- 24:18fracture he had defensive wounds and
- 24:21he'd been drugged to with with
- 24:23painkillers
- 24:25he even drugged up before he had been
- 24:28killed but Gannon was just this kid was
- 24:30such a fighter when he he was born
- 24:32premature he was given a one in 10
- 24:33chance of survival and even under drugs
- 24:36he he put up a fight with the person
- 24:38that killed him and even there's a lot
- 24:40of things that are just I mean that was
- 24:41remarkable in itself but it was also the
- 24:43fact that he'd even been found at all
- 24:45was remarkable
- 24:47this bridge that he was found under
- 24:50um there was no water under it and the
- 24:54the bridge was only checked like it was
- 24:56checked by you know people who were
- 24:57making sure the bridge is safe there
- 24:58doesn't have cracks that's not going to
- 24:59kill somebody the bridge was only
- 25:01checked like every two years so it like
- 25:04if these uh people you're checking the
- 25:06bridge from the Department of
- 25:07Transportation checked it's you know
- 25:09just a week a week or two earlier
- 25:12Gannon wouldn't be fan for
- 25:15another two years he only would have
- 25:16been found recently and so the murder
- 25:18charge against Leticia will it she was
- 25:20charged when there was no body and
- 25:22neither was a body Leticia in jail she
- 25:25tried to escape uh authorities were
- 25:27alerted to this because she kept passing
- 25:29notes to like under an Excel tour and
- 25:31they were like hey get a load of this um
- 25:34leticia's plan was to break the window
- 25:36with a broom and then like she had
- 25:38measured herself and she was fairly
- 25:40confident that she would be able to
- 25:41Shimmy Shimmy true those bars and to to
- 25:44Freedom
- 25:45because
- 25:46that would go so well for her so when
- 25:49that was revealed Leticia went with the
- 25:50old whoa
- 25:52just remembered I'm crazy saying people
- 25:55were putting stuff in her food talking
- 25:57to invisible people and so tests were
- 25:59done evaluations
- 26:01and well yeah now it was finally t-shirt
- 26:05suffered severe childhood abuse
- 26:08um but well you know it's not exactly
- 26:10get out of jail for e-card so so what
- 26:13happened like what actually happened and
- 26:15how did Ganon end up his body end up 14
- 26:18miles away from where he disappeared
- 26:20well it's believed that after they
- 26:21walked into the house together she
- 26:23murdered him in his room after drugging
- 26:26him that's probably why they went on
- 26:28this drive together she was waiting for
- 26:29the drugs to finally kick it after she
- 26:32killed him she put his buddy in a
- 26:34suitcase and she left that suitcase
- 26:36somewhere unknown somewhere in town but
- 26:39it's never been exactly revealed where
- 26:41then on February 1st when she left
- 26:44Colorado with her daughter Harley when
- 26:46authorities began zooming in on her she
- 26:48collected the suitcase and she drove to
- 26:51Florida with her daughter with Ganon in
- 26:53the suitcase in the car the entire time
- 26:55in Florida they stayed at a motel and
- 26:58while her daughter was asleep in the
- 27:00motel she drove and she dumped the
- 27:02suitcase off a bridge
- 27:04probably assuming there was water
- 27:05underneath and the suitcase would be
- 27:07washed you know into the into the
- 27:09Atlantic Ocean then she went back on
- 27:10herself and Hurley they went home to
- 27:13South Carolina on behalf of Miss style
- 27:15she appears in custody
- 27:25quotation
- 27:27Leticia pleaded not guilty to the
- 27:29charges and they were going with the
- 27:30insanity defense
- 27:32she would eventually admit that yeah she
- 27:34had killed Gannon but hold you hold your
- 27:37horses there Buckaroo wasn't her it was
- 27:40her alter ego
- 27:41Maria Sanchez they're like two sides of
- 27:44the same coin and Maria would sometimes
- 27:46climate come out again this is probably
- 27:48due to what she was saying was due to
- 27:50her severe childhood abuse and so she
- 27:53had a psychotic crack
- 27:55and she it wasn't her she's innocent
- 27:57well what she this is what she said
- 28:00happens that she had this like side
- 28:01cutter crack she walked into gannon's
- 28:03room and she saw a dark figure there
- 28:05like a monster
- 28:07and so knowing she had to protect
- 28:08herself and her family and she had to
- 28:09put a Ganon she murdered
- 28:12this dark figure by shooting stabbing
- 28:15and destroying the skull and then she
- 28:18woke up and she was like
- 28:20whoops psychologists would find her full
- 28:22of [ __ ]
- 28:23the trial began in Spring of 2023. it
- 28:27went pretty much as you would expect the
- 28:29defense was weak to the point of being
- 28:30non-existent she was found to be very
- 28:32competent competent enough to murder a
- 28:35young boy and dispose of his body for a
- 28:37time anyway it took the jury just seven
- 28:39hours to find her guilty and within
- 28:41minutes the judge sentenced her twice to
- 28:44life in prison with no possibility of
- 28:46parole
- 28:51foreign
- 28:54by the way her daughter it's clear she
- 28:56had no involvement whatsoever in the
- 28:58murder she was at another victim of
- 29:01Leticia sex narcissism and I mean she
- 29:04was given out that people were using her
- 29:05she was using everybody else Harley
- 29:07would even testify against her own
- 29:08mother this is truly the case of being
- 29:10somebody just straight up evil no two
- 29:12ways about it at all she murdered a
- 29:14young boy too while the prosecution
- 29:15would say to hurt her husband out
- 29:17because she was so resentful against him
- 29:20for what she felt was being
- 29:21underappreciated like she's [ __ ] 14
- 29:23years old like she's a child she felt
- 29:26used she was jealous and she wanted to
- 29:27hurt him the only way she knew how would
- 29:29violence against someone vulnerable she
- 29:31was resentful a narcissist maybe she
- 29:34didn't intend to kill she definitely did
- 29:36sure as [ __ ] and tend to hurt badly to
- 29:38hurt her husband I mean none of this
- 29:40[ __ ] like makes sense to me and probably
- 29:41doesn't make sense makes sense to you
- 29:43too because it's all just insane that
- 29:46[ __ ] stuff but I I don't think you can
- 29:48try and make it make sense to you I
- 29:49don't even put yourself in their
- 29:50position because it's so just evil it's
- 29:52like trying to think what an alien would
- 29:54think like this is just so beyond
- 29:56making sense or just being a goddamn
- 29:59human being really at the end of the day
- 30:00probably it's it's repulsive it's
- 30:02probably not a good idea to put yourself
- 30:03in in that position
- 30:05and if you don't want to be in leticia's
- 30:08position destroying the lives of
- 30:10everybody around her and ultimately your
- 30:11own so
