Loose Transcript/Narrative of Call
- There is a bad signal on the call.
- Al is upset because Letecia hung up on him earlier.
- She is angry: "you were being all nice, caring, listening, everything and all of a sudden you started being hateful".
- She is mad at him for saying she made it up AND saying she has information; he says it's up to her to choose which one it is.
- "Start over and tell me who the fuck has my boy" he says. He doesn't care about anything else. "Who. Has. Gannon."
- Letecia says "then I want immunity". Al is angry. The patience is gone.
- "For the rest of my life no matter what happens, I'm gonna blame myself for this because I wasn't there, I was trying to be successful in my career... I just wasn't there" says Al.
- He assures her no one is to blame for the foot and the candle and maybe she just panicked.
- Maybe Gannon took too much medicine or hit his head or had a nosebleed, but they're accidents and because he wasn't there to keep it all together she panicked and then from there he can't figure out what happened.
- Al says there was absolutely no guy there but he knows why that would be on her mind.
- "Accidents happen but we can't replace our children".
- "I was there Albert. I'll give you his name, I swear. This is why I want immunity."
- She says the whole thing happened, the cops were there, yadda yadda yadda, she truly thought Gannon was going out every day and talking to someone.
- Transcriber’s note: “yadda yadda yadda” is what Letecia says.
- She was followed after trying to get a bike for Al which is why she was looking out the door at PetCo.
- Al tries to ask her a question and Letecia gets upset at him for "jumping in there".
- Letecia tried to make turns around Palmer Lake area "which is where they're searching 'cause I'm sure they got my GPS, searching for nothing".
- Letecia says "well, this dude is in your truck with us."
- The call drops.
