Detective Jess Bethel Part, 4

Detective Jess Bethel

She has been involved with over 100 homicide investigations. When people are detained they can get very nervous.
The male was Lieutenant Milhalko.
It was very apparent she wanted to leave and take her phone with her.
She drove herself in the Tiguan to the sheriff’s office. This is when they saw it had just been washed.
The EMTs took Letecia to Memorial Hospital, this is where Van Nest worked.
Letecia left before completing a SANE exam.
This reported anxiety attack achieved her goal of wanting to leave the sheriff’s office.
On January 31st, two days after this interaction, she moved out of the Stauch home and had an interview with Spencer Wilson.
In the interview she claimed she was not allowed to eat, drink, or take bathroom breaks, which the video shows was false.
The first time Bethel went to the Stauch home was February 21st 2020.
Letecia texted Bethel several times after January 31st.
Letecia tried to get her passport and bag back on ~~January 1st.~~
She texted Bethel about her passport. It did not come from Letecia’s number but they said they didn’t hurt Gannon and there was no negligence on her part.
In early March, detectives decided to travel to South Carolina where Letecia had fled. They had a probable cause warrant for her arrest at this point - multiple agencies went.
Letecia was arrested in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
John Grusing from the FBI interviewed her there.
They transported Letecia by van from SC to CO.
Bethel, Detective Riley, and Deputy McKayla James drove her.
It was more than 24 hour drive.
She ate, sang songs, played trivia, had conversations not related to the investigation.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. She was able to pass the time in an appropriate way.
This entire transport was audio and video recorded. The room laughs when they say luckily they won’t play it all.
