On January 27, 2020, 11-year-old Gannon Stauch vanished from his home in Colorado Springs. What began as a frantic search for a "runaway" child quickly spiraled into one of the most chilling cases of betrayal and cold-blooded manipulation in true crime history.
In this two-hour deep dive, we strip away the lies of Letecia Stauch—a woman who spent weeks gaslighting a grieving family, the media, and investigators while hiding a gruesome secret. From the suspicious neighbor’s surveillance footage to the heartbreaking discovery under a bridge in the Florida Panhandle, we examine every piece of evidence that brought a monster to justice.
In this episode, we cover:
• The "Runaway" Narrative: How Letecia tried to control the story from hour one.
• The Digital Breadcrumbs: The incriminating search history that proved premeditation.
• The "Maria" Defense: A breakdown of Letecia’s claims of Dissociative Identity Disorder and the psychiatric battle in the courtroom.
• Forensic Truth: The harrowing details of the blood evidence in the Stauch home and the final autopsy report.
This isn't just a story about a crime; it’s a tribute to "G-Man" and a study of the ultimate red flag: the predator living under your own roof.

On January 11, 2013, 17 year old Kendrick Johnson was found dead inside a rolled up gym mat at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. What followed would become one of the most debated death investigations in modern American true crime.
Authorities ruled Kendrick's death an accidental positional Asphyxia. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice both closed their investigations without criminal charges. But Kendrick's family has never accepted that conclusion.

The Disappearance of Matthew Spencer | Red Flags & Body Bags
29-year-old Matthew Spencer was on a cross-country drive from California to start a new life in Houston, Texas. He had just spent several days with his sister in Las Vegas… and everything about his trip was normal. Until it wasn’t.
On August 6th, Matthew’s messages suddenly stopped making sense. He told his family he was “driving through Cloudcroft, New Mexico,” yet his Google location showed him still in Northern Arizona. Hours later, Google revealed chilling searches: “my car won’t turn over,” “my car clicks,” and “where am I?”
Then—silence.
Both Matthew and his silver 2006 Hyundai Tucson vanished somewhere along the remote stretch of I-40 between Flagstaff, Parks, Bellemont, and Williams. Despite ground searches, drones, and thousands of eyes on the case, there has never been a confirmed sighting. No vehicle. No calls. No evidence of where he went next.
In this episode, we break down Matthew’s final hours, his digital trail, the conflicting clues, and the leading theories in one of the most baffling disappearances of 2025. His family is still searching—and someone out there may hold the missing piece.

Invisible for a Year: The Jacqueline “Mimi” Torres-García Case
When eleven-year-old Jacqueline “Mimi” Torres-García vanished from New Britain, Connecticut, no one realized she’d been missing for nearly a year. Her mother claimed she was being homeschooled. The truth was much darker.

This is the story of a child who became invisible — and the movement demanding that never happen again.

Jax Gratton: The Unanswered Story
34-year-old Jax Gratton was a beloved Denver hairstylist, advocate, and proud trans woman who built a community around love, color, and compassion. In April 2025, she vanished after leaving her apartment with a man she knew. Fifty-two days later, her body was found wedged between two buildings off West Colfax Avenue in Lakewood, Colorado — beneath the window of the same apartment where she was last seen alive.
The autopsy ruled her cause and manner of death undetermined. Her family, friends, and supporters are still searching for answers — and justice.
In this episode, we trace Jax’s story: her childhood in Idaho, her vibrant life in Denver, the night she disappeared, and the red flags that followed. We also examine how systemic failures and bias can silence victims — and how her community continues to fight to make sure her story is never forgotten.

On April 14, 2022, Sean Daugherty passed away unexpectedly at his home, in Yorktown, VA, under suspicious circumstances. He was a 6th grader at Tabb Middle School, and was only 12 years old. Never in our wildest dreams, specifically in 2022, did his family think that an investigation could be so biased and assumptions based. The family has been dismissed repeatedly.
Sean's mom states "They will tell you we are crazy, unable to let go. They will tell you he did it himself, and it's a cut and dry case. They will say this type of thing never makes sense. All we ask is that you pull up a chair, hear us out, and come to your own conclusion. We think you'll agree that there are WAY too many things that don't add up. Help us find out what really happened to Sean."
If you have any information that would aid the investigation, please email: whathappenedtosean@gmail.com or call the tip line at 804-905-8613.
