  26. 1:01just one guy but now let's give it a go
  27. 1:04[Music]
  28. 1:14so to begin let's let's take the story
  29. 1:17from the top Colorado Springs write
  30. 1:19smack dab in the middle of the state is
  31. 1:22where this started in lorson ranch on
  32. 1:24Mandan Drive in a neighborhood on the
  33. 1:26very Southwestern side of town
  34. 1:28surrounded by
  35. 1:29pretty much nothing at all
  36. 1:33in a house there lived Eugene Al stouk
  37. 1:36his wife Leticia Stoke and their tree
  38. 1:39children seventeen-year-old Harley hunt
  39. 1:41who the teacher's daughter from a
  40. 1:43previous relationship the father had
  41. 1:44since passed away and eleven-year-old
  42. 1:46Ganon and eight-year-old Elena Stoke
  43. 1:49Al's children from a previous
  44. 1:51relationship
  45. 1:53I'll share custody of both Ganon and
  46. 1:56Elena uh their mother London she she
  47. 1:59lived in in South Carolina Al and London
  48. 2:03they'd been married for over 10 years
  49. 2:04and you know they had well they had the
  50. 2:06two kids together but the relationships
  51. 2:08are deteriorate as it so often does as
  52. 2:11you see
  53. 2:12so they split up but you know they they
  54. 2:14wanted to co-parent their kids in fact
  55. 2:17it all initially like Landon and her new
  56. 2:19husband and Al and Alicia initially not
  57. 2:22lived in South Carolina they'd moved to
  58. 2:25Colorado in 2019 due to Al's work now
  59. 2:28tishino upon Mary Al and having her own
  60. 2:31daughter and then these two new kids
  61. 2:33wasn't so thrilled to be moving away
  62. 2:35from her home in South Carolina and she
  63. 2:37especially wasn't too thrilled about
  64. 2:39essentially kind of being a stay-at-home
  65. 2:41mom for two kids that weren't what she
  66. 2:43viewed as hers resentment would start to
  67. 2:45build up on Leticia Stokes part Al and
  68. 2:50Leticia had married in 2015 and Al
  69. 2:52himself he worked in the military he was
  70. 2:54working in the Army National Guard full
  71. 2:56time and was frequently based around the
  72. 2:58country stationed for weeks at a time
  73. 3:01she
  74. 3:04she was something else no [ __ ] Leticia
  75. 3:06or just Tisha or just tea or just words
  76. 3:09I can't say right now she had worked in
  77. 3:10education for pretty much most of her
  78. 3:12life in North Carolina and in Colorado
  79. 3:14as an assistant teacher at 36 years of
  80. 3:17age in 2020 she was going through
  81. 3:19orientation for an assistant position at
  82. 3:22Mountain Ridge Middle School
  83. 3:24however in late January that offer as
  84. 3:27they say was rescinded this was due to
  85. 3:29employers finding a number of
  86. 3:31inconsistencies in her applications she
  87. 3:34had worked in a number of schools never
  88. 3:35really full-time jobs more you know
  89. 3:37assistance substitutes that sort of
  90. 3:39thing but she never stayed long either
  91. 3:41she wasn't offered it or she resigned
  92. 3:43her South Carolina teaching license was
  93. 3:46actually suspended in 2016 after
  94. 3:48engaging in quote unprofessional conduct
  95. 3:50willfully neglecting her Duty and
  96. 3:53failing to comply with the provisions of
  97. 3:55her contract and she was out on her ass
  98. 3:57after that now it's interesting she
  99. 3:59would work in education and with kids
  100. 4:02because she certainly didn't like
  101. 4:03raising her husband's kids or early at
  102. 4:06least there was something she was very
  103. 4:07resentful uh she was like a big ball or
  104. 4:10resentment you know when you take a look
  105. 4:11at Leticia so keeping kind of just look
  106. 4:13at her and say
  107. 4:14I don't like you and you know I haven't
  108. 4:17even gotten into what she you know did
  109. 4:19spoiler alert the code of her jib is no
  110. 4:22bueno as they say in Spain or in other
  111. 4:24countries where they speak Spanish but
  112. 4:26she's just a very narcissistic negative
  113. 4:29character again I haven't even got to
  114. 4:31what she's gonna do I mean she was
  115. 4:33resentful that she was Raising and I'll
  116. 4:35use raising in quotations uh Al's Eugene
  117. 4:39owls Al's kids Gannon and Elena and she
  118. 4:41would Google things about I guess the
  119. 4:44feelings she herself was having things
  120. 4:47like parenting should be for people not
  121. 4:50one I'm over doing all the work for my
  122. 4:52stepkids and their mom doesn't help my
  123. 4:54husband's ex-wife does nothing for her
  124. 4:56kids I wonder if my husband's ex-wife is
  125. 4:59sending me a Valentine's card since I
  126. 5:01raise her kids one day some people will
  127. 5:04wish they treated you differently
  128. 5:08she obviously was free-fallen because
  129. 5:10those Googles were Tom Petty but that
  130. 5:12last one
  131. 5:13let's keep going by the way just to note
  132. 5:16London the mother did live in South
  133. 5:17Carolina and had been through a couple
  134. 5:19of difficult pregnancies so he can kind
  135. 5:21of ease off there now out in her house
  136. 5:23wasn't the oddest for Leticia in fact
  137. 5:25she had a small criminal history never
  138. 5:27anything serious but stuff like
  139. 5:28communicating threats unauthorized use
  140. 5:30of a motor vehicle and that was pretty
  141. 5:32much it but she would be at her ass yet
  142. 5:35again in Colorado on the 24th of January
  143. 5:382020 when she was let go from from you
  144. 5:41know that position after they found you
  145. 5:42inconsistencies in her employment
  146. 5:44history that was just at the time her
  147. 5:47husband Al stegg was about to go on his
  148. 5:49way to Oklahoma to a military base there

  303. 11:48every time I think about it I mean when
  304. 11:50London flew in to Colorado from South
  305. 11:52Carolina Leticia and Harley were
  306. 11:54supposed to pick her up from the airport
  307. 11:56and take her you know to this search
  308. 11:57Zone to the house
  309. 12:00they never showed up they just left this
  310. 12:02mother going out of her mind would worry
  311. 12:05abandoned her at the airport ah make
  312. 12:07your own way and before Gannon went
  313. 12:09missing she was texting Al who was on
  314. 12:10his way to Oklahoma and she was texting
  315. 12:13him that well she felt underappreciated
  316. 12:15by both Al and Landon but he was saying
  317. 12:18when he's back they can talk through it
  318. 12:20she's worse than a child this 36 year
  319. 12:22old woman is called with the [ __ ]
  320. 12:24she's coming out with but she's also
  321. 12:26saying that on the 26th of January which
  322. 12:28was a Sunday the day before
  323. 12:30Gannon went missing she was texting Al
  324. 12:33saying that herself Ganon and Elena had
  325. 12:36gone in for a hike but they had to come
  326. 12:38back early because she said Ganon had an
  327. 12:40accident like you know
  328. 12:42accident and then she with that evening
  329. 12:45on that Sunday evening again the day
  330. 12:47before he went missing he had lit a
  331. 12:49candle that had caused a small fire and
  332. 12:51burned uh burned some carpet in their
  333. 12:53home she then texted Al the cannon was
  334. 12:55sick and he wouldn't be in school the
  335. 12:56day after the day he was last seen but
  336. 12:59apparently she said he was happy enough
  337. 13:00and fine enough to go and visit his
  338. 13:01friends that was her story at least I
  339. 13:04mean she has a few though as you will
  340. 13:06see like leticia's story kept evolving
  341. 13:08like Pokemon ain't got [ __ ] on him which
  342. 13:10just would evolve she was telling
  343. 13:12different stories every other time for a
  344. 13:15fact even when you know they were asking
  345. 13:16her okay Gana went out to visit friends
  346. 13:17who did he go and see
  347. 13:19well I don't know she couldn't even name
  348. 13:21his friends or his friend's parents she
  349. 13:23still posted on Facebook and such
  350. 13:24continually adding information after the
  351. 13:27fact covering up more and more as it was
  352. 13:29coming out some new information would
  353. 13:31come out and she'd be like oh [ __ ] I
  354. 13:32just remembered oh yeah that's why that
  355. 13:34is the way that it is specifically blood
  356. 13:36was found in the house to which she said
  357. 13:38Ganon could his foot when a pool of
  358. 13:40blood was found under his bed she said
  359. 13:43he had a nosebleed that day it must have
  360. 13:45been a heck of a nosebleed
  361. 13:49I didn't ever look up anything about an
  362. 13:51artery or something unless it went from
  363. 13:53something else I'm doing all the work
  364. 13:55for my step kids and their mom doesn't
  365. 13:57help oh that bothered me yeah yeah oh
  366. 14:00yes because I wanted them to be mine
  367. 14:02like she even released a video well it's
  368. 14:04it's really just audio which she
  369. 14:06accidentally took
  370. 14:08of when she said Gannon spilled the
  371. 14:10candle which resulted in the carpet
  372. 14:12being damaged which I think was her
  373. 14:14premeditating this whole ordeal and she
  374. 14:16just wanted to prove he was alive at a
  375. 14:18certain time frustrating initially Scott
  376. 14:21I can't lie when the TMZ information
  377. 14:24again the problem says the last time I'm
  378. 14:26going to ask you I'm just freaking out

  395. 15:05tomorrow yeah the day Ganon went missing
  396. 15:08when he went to visit his friends and
  397. 15:10never returned things were very very
  398. 15:12weird in that house and I mean it was
  399. 15:14pretty much just Leticia and Gannon
  400. 15:17Harley she was at work Elena the
  401. 15:19youngest she was in school so it was
  402. 15:22just the two of them nobody really knows
  403. 15:23what happened but whatever did
  404. 15:25it wasn't good what is burning from an
  405. 15:28arterial bleed direct pressure not
  406. 15:30controlling do what I don't know it's
  407. 15:34from your phone the light is what
  408. 15:35spurting from an arterial bleed
  409. 15:38no somebody did from your phone I don't
  410. 15:42like my stepson no I don't like my
  411. 15:45stepson should I get a divorce
  412. 15:47a neighbor's CCTV would show that on the
  413. 15:4927th of January at about 10 30 a.m
  414. 15:52Leticia and Gannon walked out of the
  415. 15:54house and got and walked Walked strange
  416. 15:55and moved moved slowly as if he was
  417. 15:58drugged they got in a car and they drove
  418. 16:01off it would later be determined they
  419. 16:03driven to pet stores
  420. 16:07two different pet stores I mean if he
  421. 16:11was as sick as she said he was to the
  422. 16:13point where he couldn't go to school but
  423. 16:15he was fine to go out for like these big
  424. 16:17long drives to pick up
  425. 16:19pet [ __ ] they got home at 2 20. and he
  426. 16:22can't really see Gannon come home but
  427. 16:24it's believed he he was there
  428. 16:31but then likely as soon as he got in
  429. 16:33before again even took out his took off
  430. 16:35his jackets
  431. 16:37something happened something really bad
  432. 16:39and of course when Leticia was
  433. 16:40confronted with all of this she
  434. 16:43forgot to tell you another story oh yeah
  435. 16:46um this guy broke in and he sexually
  436. 16:49assaulted Leticia and kidnapped the kid
  437. 16:51sorry probably should have mentioned
  438. 16:53that earlier Leticia said she had hired
  439. 16:55someone to fix the burnt carpet a guy
  440. 16:57named either Eduardo or Quincy Brown
  441. 17:00Quincy Brown was a criminal who just
  442. 17:03happened to be in the news at the time
  443. 17:04literally I think Leticia heard the name
  444. 17:06on the radio he was a sex offender who
  445. 17:08was doing the rounds and she was like
  446. 17:10that was him it was him so regardless of
  447. 17:12who it was I mean she had all these
  448. 17:14different names for him but it doesn't
  449. 17:15really matter because he doesn't exist
  450. 17:16uh she said she okay this is her story
  451. 17:19is that she hired somebody somebody to
  452. 17:21come in and fix the bird's carpet and
  453. 17:23instead of fixing the bird's carpet he
  454. 17:26um
  455. 17:27he said she said
  456. 17:29um she was rape by him sexually
  457. 17:30assaulted her and then at some point and
  458. 17:32then kidnapped Ganon and then he hit her
  459. 17:35in the head and knocked her out she woke
  460. 17:37up she didn't know what to do that's her
  461. 17:39story this Karen is alive we have an 11
  462. 17:42year old kid somewhere
  463. 17:44being held against its will
  464. 17:46and you're not telling us you might as
  465. 17:49well have done this yourself that's why
  466. 17:50I'm saying however when um you know she
  467. 17:53was telling the police this there was no
  468. 17:55marks on her head and she refused like a
  469. 17:57sexual assault examination
  470. 17:59um which of course you know would have
  471. 18:01given information enough to find this
  472. 18:02guy and she was like actually you know
  473. 18:04what no she then said she had to clean
  474. 18:06up the air the area where this attack
  475. 18:08happened on her and on her her stepson
  476. 18:11so you know clean up uh the area with
  477. 18:14with bleach and other kind of cleaning
  478. 18:16products and that's why luminol will
  479. 18:19detect blood which it did but you know
  480. 18:22it might not be visible on the surface
  481. 18:23and why everything smells like bleach
  482. 18:25which it also did at this stage the
  483. 18:27police were fairly sure she cleaned up
  484. 18:28where she had murdered Ganon not where
  485. 18:31there had been any sort of [ __ ]
  486. 18:32abduction
  487. 18:34and then Leticia did this this interview
  488. 18:37you are I am Tisha Stout which is
  489. 18:41gannon's stepmother
  490. 18:42uh
  491. 18:44uh you've been a part of the
  492. 18:46investigation since the very first time
  493. 18:47you were the last person to see him is
  494. 18:49that right correct uh what what did you
  495. 18:52see when you last Saw well I'm not
  496. 18:54allowed to talk about anything with the
  497. 18:56case I would more so be willing to talk
  498. 18:59about how the community needs to have
  499. 19:01faith and continue to work together and
  500. 19:03not make these false accusations like
  501. 19:05the things that have been said that I've
  502. 19:07disappeared from the community I haven't
  503. 19:09been there to help but there's lots of
  504. 19:12reasons behind that uh reasons like
  505. 19:14death threats right right death threats
  506. 19:16are one of them my family is getting
  507. 19:18lots of death threats we counted over 20
  508. 19:19some deficits already
  509. 19:22two my husband's ex-wife is living in
  510. 19:26our home and of course I'm not coming
  511. 19:27home to do these things and to help with
  512. 19:29the family when I was kind of like told
  513. 19:31I couldn't and then many other things
  514. 19:34that happened with the El Paso County
  515. 19:35Police Department you know and then
  516. 19:36during the investigation I was told I
  517. 19:38wasn't complying and can I elaborate on
  518. 19:41that please sir yes so I asked for
  519. 19:44attorney during the interview uh and I
  520. 19:47was denied that by them I was held
  521. 19:49because they were blocking the door and
  522. 19:51I was told I couldn't leave and that if
  523. 19:52I would have touched them they would
  524. 19:53have probably you know said I still
  525. 19:55wasn't complying or said I was you know
  526. 19:57trying to run away or something but
  527. 19:59during the interview I asked several
  528. 20:00times could I stop the interview could I
  529. 20:02get an attorney could I stopped
  530. 20:03interview could I get an attorney I was
  531. 20:04denied I always thought I couldn't get
  532. 20:06nothing to drink I couldn't go to the
  533. 20:07bathroom I mean it was continuously that
  534. 20:10my constitutional rights were violated
  535. 20:12you know there was comments about Gannon
  536. 20:14getting pushed off the hike and there
  537. 20:16was comments about this and that's just
  538. 20:17not true I took care of Gannon for the
  539. 20:20last two years in our home because his
  540. 20:21mother didn't want to do it and I would
  541. 20:24never never ever hurt this child and I
  542. 20:27know there's some questions out there
  543. 20:28about okay so tell me what happens
  544. 20:30that's up to the investigations when
  545. 20:32they end up letting you guys know but
  546. 20:34I've cooperated with them so I'm like
  547. 20:35why are you saying Ganon is dead he is
  548. 20:38not dead we are going to find Gannon by
  549. 20:40the way just fun fact for you it would
  550. 20:43turn out that this was leticia's second
  551. 20:44take
  552. 20:49mom Cameron okay
  553. 20:52after she answered some of her questions
  554. 20:54she asked for like a redo she she was
  555. 20:56thinking you know what I can answer I
  556. 20:58could sell some of those some of those
  557. 20:59better after she answered some of their
  558. 21:01questions she asked for like a redo take
  559. 21:03take two because yo I could probably
  560. 21:05sell someone a bit better which which of
  561. 21:06those takes was better I pulled the
  562. 21:08Leticia like the first time she said she
  563. 21:10hopes that when Gannon comes home she
  564. 21:12gets a sincere apology from her critics
  565. 21:14and there were many especially her
  566. 21:17husband ale Stoke I really hope I get a
  567. 21:19sincere apology from everyone who has
  568. 21:22made all those things especially from my
  569. 21:25husband but then she said oh no wait
  570. 21:28kind of sound like a [ __ ] let me do
  571. 21:30that again so she answered it like this
  572. 21:33we just wanted to add a message to
  573. 21:34Canada from my family is that we love
  574. 21:37you we miss you and we hope that you
  575. 21:39come home soon again I can't wait you
  576. 21:42can come home and let everyone know that
  577. 21:44you're okay
  578. 21:45we love you
  579. 21:47[Music]
  580. 21:50but it was after this interview Leticia
  581. 21:52and her daughter Harley in the middle of
  582. 21:54this huge investigation on search
  583. 21:56hundreds of people everywhere trying
  584. 21:59desperately to find an 11 year old boy
  585. 22:02during all this Leticia and her daughter
  586. 22:05Harley as I said they outify theirs and
  587. 22:07the [ __ ] out of there when she left she
  588. 22:10continued her [ __ ] stories over the
  589. 22:12phone and she drove with her daughter to
  590. 22:14Florida and she would later later being
  591. 22:17March 2nd be arrested in Myrtle Beach
  592. 22:20she was arrested for murder for the
  593. 22:23murder of Ghana instead that was finally
  594. 22:26when the judge signed off on the warrant
  595. 22:28for her she did not go quietly uh By the
  596. 22:30way when there were two Neil Young At
  597. 22:33first she attempted to Sprint uh away
  598. 22:36and then when I finally did clap clap uh
  599. 22:39the bracelets on her she was shouting
  600. 22:41she was roaring it was like the flick of
  601. 22:44a switch a different Leticia had emerged
  602. 22:47you might even call her Maria but we'll
  603. 22:49get to that and while being extraded you
  604. 22:51know back to Colorado she certainly made
  605. 22:53the trip interesting on March 4th she
  606. 22:55attacked the deputy smacking a can of
  607. 22:57Monster into his head
  608. 22:59strike
  609. 23:04stop

  618. 23:32watering with me cooperate with me but
  619. 23:36not with her
  620. 23:37cooperate with me do you know her
  621. 23:40like I said it was like another side of
  622. 23:41her had just been revealed a angry
  623. 23:45violent side of Leticia
  624. 23:51and then on March 17th a suitcase was
  625. 23:54found under a bridge in Pace Florida
  626. 23:57Bridge inspectors with the Department of
  627. 23:59Transportation saw a suitcase just under
  628. 24:01the bridge they opened it and out rolled
  629. 24:04a small body wrapped in blankets in the
  630. 24:07fetal position
  631. 24:08this was 1400 miles from Colorado
  632. 24:11Springs
  633. 24:12the body was soon identified as Gannon
  634. 24:14and it was determined he had been shot
  635. 24:16in the jaw stabbed and suffered a skull
  636. 24:18fracture he had defensive wounds and
  637. 24:21he'd been drugged to with with
  638. 24:23painkillers
  639. 24:25he even drugged up before he had been
  640. 24:28killed but Gannon was just this kid was
  641. 24:30such a fighter when he he was born
  642. 24:32premature he was given a one in 10
  643. 24:33chance of survival and even under drugs
  644. 24:36he he put up a fight with the person
  645. 24:38that killed him and even there's a lot
  646. 24:40of things that are just I mean that was
  647. 24:41remarkable in itself but it was also the
  648. 24:43fact that he'd even been found at all
  649. 24:45was remarkable
  650. 24:47this bridge that he was found under
  651. 24:50um there was no water under it and the
  652. 24:54the bridge was only checked like it was
  653. 24:56checked by you know people who were
  654. 24:57making sure the bridge is safe there
  655. 24:58doesn't have cracks that's not going to
  656. 24:59kill somebody the bridge was only
  657. 25:01checked like every two years so it like
  658. 25:04if these uh people you're checking the
  659. 25:06bridge from the Department of
  660. 25:07Transportation checked it's you know
  661. 25:09just a week a week or two earlier
  662. 25:12Gannon wouldn't be fan for
  663. 25:15another two years he only would have
  664. 25:16been found recently and so the murder
  665. 25:18charge against Leticia will it she was
  666. 25:20charged when there was no body and
  667. 25:22neither was a body Leticia in jail she
  668. 25:25tried to escape uh authorities were
  669. 25:27alerted to this because she kept passing
  670. 25:29notes to like under an Excel tour and
  671. 25:31they were like hey get a load of this um
  672. 25:34leticia's plan was to break the window
  673. 25:36with a broom and then like she had
  674. 25:38measured herself and she was fairly
  675. 25:40confident that she would be able to
  676. 25:41Shimmy Shimmy true those bars and to to
  677. 25:44Freedom
  678. 25:45because
  679. 25:46that would go so well for her so when
  680. 25:49that was revealed Leticia went with the
  681. 25:50old whoa
  682. 25:52just remembered I'm crazy saying people
  683. 25:55were putting stuff in her food talking
  684. 25:57to invisible people and so tests were
  685. 25:59done evaluations
  686. 26:01and well yeah now it was finally t-shirt
  687. 26:05suffered severe childhood abuse
  688. 26:08um but well you know it's not exactly
  689. 26:10get out of jail for e-card so so what
  690. 26:13happened like what actually happened and
  691. 26:15how did Ganon end up his body end up 14
  692. 26:18miles away from where he disappeared
  693. 26:20well it's believed that after they
  694. 26:21walked into the house together she
  695. 26:23murdered him in his room after drugging
  696. 26:26him that's probably why they went on
  697. 26:28this drive together she was waiting for
  698. 26:29the drugs to finally kick it after she
  699. 26:32killed him she put his buddy in a
  700. 26:34suitcase and she left that suitcase
  701. 26:36somewhere unknown somewhere in town but
  702. 26:39it's never been exactly revealed where
  703. 26:41then on February 1st when she left
  704. 26:44Colorado with her daughter Harley when
  705. 26:46authorities began zooming in on her she
  706. 26:48collected the suitcase and she drove to
  707. 26:51Florida with her daughter with Ganon in
  708. 26:53the suitcase in the car the entire time
  709. 26:55in Florida they stayed at a motel and
  710. 26:58while her daughter was asleep in the
  711. 27:00motel she drove and she dumped the
  712. 27:02suitcase off a bridge
  713. 27:04probably assuming there was water
  714. 27:05underneath and the suitcase would be
  715. 27:07washed you know into the into the
  716. 27:09Atlantic Ocean then she went back on
  717. 27:10herself and Hurley they went home to
  718. 27:13South Carolina on behalf of Miss style
  719. 27:15she appears in custody
  720. 27:25quotation
  721. 27:27Leticia pleaded not guilty to the
  722. 27:29charges and they were going with the
  723. 27:30insanity defense
  724. 27:32she would eventually admit that yeah she
  725. 27:34had killed Gannon but hold you hold your
  726. 27:37horses there Buckaroo wasn't her it was
  727. 27:40her alter ego
  728. 27:41Maria Sanchez they're like two sides of
  729. 27:44the same coin and Maria would sometimes
  730. 27:46climate come out again this is probably
  731. 27:48due to what she was saying was due to
  732. 27:50her severe childhood abuse and so she
  733. 27:53had a psychotic crack
  734. 27:55and she it wasn't her she's innocent
  735. 27:57well what she this is what she said
  736. 28:00happens that she had this like side
  737. 28:01cutter crack she walked into gannon's
  738. 28:03room and she saw a dark figure there
  739. 28:05like a monster
  740. 28:07and so knowing she had to protect
  741. 28:08herself and her family and she had to
  742. 28:09put a Ganon she murdered
  743. 28:12this dark figure by shooting stabbing
  744. 28:15and destroying the skull and then she
  745. 28:18woke up and she was like
  746. 28:20whoops psychologists would find her full
  747. 28:22of [ __ ]
  748. 28:23the trial began in Spring of 2023. it
  749. 28:27went pretty much as you would expect the
  750. 28:29defense was weak to the point of being
  751. 28:30non-existent she was found to be very
  752. 28:32competent competent enough to murder a
  753. 28:35young boy and dispose of his body for a
  754. 28:37time anyway it took the jury just seven
  755. 28:39hours to find her guilty and within
  756. 28:41minutes the judge sentenced her twice to
  757. 28:44life in prison with no possibility of
  758. 28:46parole
  759. 28:51foreign
  760. 28:54by the way her daughter it's clear she
  761. 28:56had no involvement whatsoever in the
  762. 28:58murder she was at another victim of
  763. 29:01Leticia sex narcissism and I mean she
  764. 29:04was given out that people were using her
  765. 29:05she was using everybody else Harley
  766. 29:07would even testify against her own
  767. 29:08mother this is truly the case of being
  768. 29:10somebody just straight up evil no two
  769. 29:12ways about it at all she murdered a
  770. 29:14young boy too while the prosecution
  771. 29:15would say to hurt her husband out
  772. 29:17because she was so resentful against him
  773. 29:20for what she felt was being
  774. 29:21underappreciated like she's [ __ ] 14
  775. 29:23years old like she's a child she felt
  776. 29:26used she was jealous and she wanted to
  777. 29:27hurt him the only way she knew how would
  778. 29:29violence against someone vulnerable she
  779. 29:31was resentful a narcissist maybe she
  780. 29:34didn't intend to kill she definitely did
  781. 29:36sure as [ __ ] and tend to hurt badly to
  782. 29:38hurt her husband I mean none of this
  783. 29:40[ __ ] like makes sense to me and probably
  784. 29:41doesn't make sense makes sense to you
  785. 29:43too because it's all just insane that
  786. 29:46[ __ ] stuff but I I don't think you can
  787. 29:48try and make it make sense to you I
  788. 29:49don't even put yourself in their
  789. 29:50position because it's so just evil it's
  790. 29:52like trying to think what an alien would
  791. 29:54think like this is just so beyond
  792. 29:56making sense or just being a goddamn
  793. 29:59human being really at the end of the day
  794. 30:00probably it's it's repulsive it's
  795. 30:02probably not a good idea to put yourself
  796. 30:03in in that position
  797. 30:05and if you don't want to be in leticia's
  798. 30:08position destroying the lives of
