This is an audio recording from Deputy Parker's body worn camera on January 27th, 2020.
Loose Transcription/Narrative
- They ask if they can come in; "you guys are busy tonight?" she asked. She says the neighbors have been awesome. "That's what I was telling my husband because he was upset like honestly the neighbors have done most of the work".
- They posted pictures. She mentions a Switch and the officer asks her to clarify. She laughs and says "not like a" and must have made a motion.
- Gannon was supposed to be home at 6 for dinner. He was off restriction that day so he went to play for his friend like his dad said he could.
- Around 6, she saw it was sleeting outside so she figured he was waiting on someone to pick him up, she drove to the neighbors on the corner but he wasn't there, so she went to a few other houses and he wasn't there. Neighbors stepped in and helped.
- “I am almost positive he is with someone he knows because he searched on his phone ‘can my parents find me if my phone is off’. He also sent my husband some crazy stuff that was like ‘do we have any bath salts?’” and her husband told him to ask Letecia.
- "My friend said if we get some we can play there" said Gannon but Al said no. Gannon asked if he could play if his stomach stopped hurting and said his friend had a car for a sleepover on Friday.
- They went to "the Jimmy kid's house" but he was asleep and he didn't have an older sibling. “You know how social media is”.
- They went through his book bag and found a cigar(?). Deputy asks if he has ever smoked marijuana. She says no but the school he goes to now has 6th, 7th, and 8th grade there. She says she knows the school does a good job because she works for the school district in separating the kids though.
- She mentioned a few places that Gannon likes to go, like the park, and that he might have met older kids.
- Letecia says Al is upset officers took so long. She's trying to find a copy of Gannon's social security card.
- All that's missing is Gannon's Switch. They immediately found all the guns and they're all accounted for. Officer asks about clothes and toiletries, none of them are missing. His phone is in his room and his phone is his wallet.
- Letecia clarifies that the restriction on using his Switch ended that day.
- Gannon takes Vyvanse every week day for ADHD and has bad stomach issues from it.
- She says they went on a hike yesterday and he pooped his pants three times.
- (She immediately launches into this) He told Letecia and Laina that he thought someone was coming downstairs so he knocked a candle over and it started a fire. It was a 12x12 spot so she was just gonna cut it out and not tell Al.
- She took the blankets Gannon was laying on and threw them on the fire because she got her daughter and the dogs out.
- He did not take his bike. Someone saw a little kid on a bike. She says unless he took it sooner, because Laina ended up getting the bike. She somehow got his bike because hers didn't work.
- He didn't go to school to do physical activity but he had already talked to Al about being off restriction. She doesn't know what time he left because she was correcting the carpet.
- She doesn't know who Gannon knows because Al doesn't make Gannon give her all the numbers.
- She noticed Gannon was gone around 4PM. This is when Laina told Letecia she had to get his bike because hers wasn't working.
- Gannon used the front door, back door, and garage to get outside.
- Sounds like a dog came through the room. Deputy chuckles and says "cute".
- Deputy asks for Letecia's name and date of birth but I can't hear her.
- Gannon sometimes takes his phone, sometimes doesn’t.
- She says her name Tecia Stauch (pronounced rhyming with mesha), birthday 8/3/1983.
- They ask her for a photo of Gannon, she asks if she can crop Laina out of them because most of the photos of him are both.
- Deputy can't find her in the driver's license, database, she clarifies her name is Letecia.
- Deputy is giving a summary of the situation. He says no suspicious circumstances other than the bath salts texts to dad, she says yes.
- She is talking about the carpet and candle again. She says she just covered it up with carpet.
- Letecia says Connor's mom came over and a bunch of people came over.
- She mentions a little book with names on it and then quickly switches topics.
- She lays out his clothes, nothing is missing. He had on a - he has several jackets. "I'm very like, fashion so it just depends".
- Letecia says Al has numbers she doesn't because she doesn't know all the people. She had a job on the east coast and had to fly back and forth a lot. Her husband always wanted to get everyone's numbers (she said the opposite earlier).
- She doesn't know who the friend with the older sibling with the car is.
- She mentions a sighting from Facebook of Gannon and you can see his Switch.
- Letecia says she has 150 Facebook messages she hasn't checked so she can't find the message but it was on the Lorson Ranch page.
- Al gave the neighbor permission to post the footage of Gannon.
- She gave his description, brown hair, brown eyes, whitish color skin, 4'10. I can't hear her because the deputy is telling someone else about the bath salts text.
- Letecia yells to Harley "did you get it? who was it?"
- Deputy says there's nothing suspicious about it, it just went viral so people are all finding about it now. He has also been in trouble and left with a video game console.
- She says he was wearing a blue jacket and jeans.
- Letecia says they've talked to a bunch of people at the school, there's a basketball game at the school tonight. Letecia was thinking he may have gone to a basketball game.
- Letecia says to call Al because she "doesn't do a lot of that" i.e. talking to people, and gives his information.
