Life Sentence for Colorado Woman Who Killed Stepson Due to 'Psychotic Crack'

Letecia Stauch, a Colorado woman, was sentenced to life in prison for the savage murder of her 11-year-old stepson, Gannon Stauch, and dumping his body off a Florida bridge. Stauch was found guilty of first-degree murder, tampering with a deceased human body, and tampering with physical evidence. The defense argued that she was insane and one of her other personalities killed him, but the judge rejected this claim. Stauch attacked Gannon in his bedroom, stabbing him 18 times before hitting him in the head and shooting him once. She then put his body in a suitcase and drove over 1,300 miles with it in a rented van.
