The air is now on in the courtroom, now it’s cold
Continuing audio from yesterday, call between Al and Letecia
L: How many days has it been? I have not - I have gone nowhere that I could take Gannon that he would just be gone that many days. You have to put that in your brain! AL: Oh yeah, it is in my brain. It’s in my brain that he’s gone and there’s nowhere he could be, safely, ok because he’s with the QB guy who’s a freakin’ sex offender, jumpin’ bail, whatever you wanna label him
- L: ?? AL: Whatever, I don’t know, You know I don’t know all that shit, he’s just a bad dude and my son’s with him. L: I told you this. AL: OK, alright. L: I told you what happened. I told you when we came home. I already told you all this. When I told you the truth, this is what you did. You said to me, ‘hey that’s not how it happened’ AL: But you told me the truth? You told me four different versions of the truth Tecia, that’s where the problem is. I want to believe you. L: The details and you’re asking me three weeks later detail for detail AL: Yes, absolutely, but in your own words now that you’ve slept on it and now that you’ve recovered a little bit you’re starting to remember more and more and more so what I wanna know - L: I’ve given you everything I remember
- AL: The detail I wanna know is what did QB do with Gannon? That’s the detail I wanna know, that’s the question. L: I don’t know where he took him, I don’t know where they went. Don’t you think for a second If I knew that Albert I would tell you. AL: Where did he take him from? That's a starting point. where were you at when he took him? L: At home! AL: Okay so yesterday was the bike accident and then L: I already told you that you already talked about AL: fine but I'm saying yesterday he was taken from Douglas County today he’s taken from El Paso County at 6627 L: ?? AL: Right then you changed it and brought it back then you changed it and brought it back. L: Said that to you because you just want me to say whatever they got you thinking. AL: I'm thinking what I'm thinking, okay nobody… these freaking police have not told me a damn thing other than my son is and that they're supposedly looking for him. You’re the only one telling me anything about the situation. L: Albert. AL: Yes. L: I told you, He took your gun I couldn't do anything. you talk about how you have to live with that do you know how I have to sit here and be like oh my God what could I have done to protect him better ‘cause Albert’s gonna turn it But I'm a horrible person. You think I want to lose my entire life because I couldn't protect someone 100 percent? AL: Do you know if Gannon is alive? Or was he alive when he took him? Was he hurt? L: I don’t know, I was out of it. Do you not understand this? AL: So you were out you were blacked out right and he took him while you were blacked out? L: NO! I just said I was in and out of it from a struggle I hit my head I was in and out of it, he put my arms tied up. You would not listen to me on that. You know what you should’ve done? As my husband you should’ve said ‘oh my god this fucker’s not only hurt my wife took my son’ that’s what you should be saying AL: I'm trying to believe you okay but when I got home Tuesday you had no sign of anything, no marks on your head no marks on your arms, no
- L: Oh, that’s a lie, you wanna know why? Because it’s all on social media why I have bandaids on my head ? arms ?? so that’s a fuckin’ lie AL: Okay, alright, fair enough. I ain’t seen L: It’s on social media. ? social media why all kinds of things AL: Well it’s on social media that you killed him so you want me to believe everything that I hear on social media? L: No, because you’re ALBERT! Why in the world would you think that? AL: I’m not thinking that, you just told me to believe social media, social media says you’re a killer L: It’s on there, meaning they saw it. They saw a picture of me, that’s all I meant. ?? picture ?? I didn’t kill anyone AL: Social media says you’re a killer and that Landen’s the hero, do you want me to believe that?
- L: Well if you believe that, you’re dumb, you wanna know why? ‘Cause you know better than that. AL: Okay, well L: I mean, you’re treating her like she’s a hero, that’s exactly what you’re doing instead of being with your wife you’ve been with your ex-wife. AL: I haven’t been with nobody, I told you, I’ve been with my family L: ? want me to believe ? where you’re supposed to be? AL: You could attack me all you want to but it really doesn’t matter L: I’m not attacking you AL: Yes, that’s an attack L: ? you should be with your wife AL: Okay well what’s with all this crap you’re sending her now. You’re telling the world how much of a piece of shit she is but now you’re trying to - L: ? her anything! My shit has been packed, I can’t - don’t like believe nothing unless it’s my daggone Yahoo! People have created a fake profile under my name, they’ve ? em the profile, everything! People were - don’t - the only thing I have secured is because I contacted Yahoo is my Yahoo account. Don’t listen to anything from anything else. AL: Ok, fine, but you sent her a message that said the same thing you tried to say to me initially about this ransom and these phone calls from DC so yes I do believe that you sent her that L: Me? AL: That’s what you told me L: (either) From me? ME? (or) From DC? DC!? AL: That’s what you told me. L: ?? AL: That’s what you told me L: Oh! I- do you know why I done that, that’s because he sent it from a stupid messenger thing and I when I switched up to my phone thing I was trying to write back from I was like I’ma send Landen this too, I was gonna talk to both of y’all and because I couldn’t get you and I hit drafts so if it went through then I didn’t talk to her - AL: No, no no no no. Landen didn’t send anything from DC, you said that the messages came from a DC number or something , that’s what you said L: Washington, like Washington, Seattle AL: Oh, Washington SeAttle, ohhh. Ok. Gotcha. L: I did tell you that, I said Washington! I said Roy Elementary! AL: Ok L: ? but I did not, I haven’t said another word to her, read the emails I sent her when she wrote me I told her fuck her for being the god damn ?? she is, don’t be playing hero, read ‘em. Since you were sitting right beside her
- AL: They went to Texas, I ain’t reading shit, I just saw something she forwarded me. She forwarded me something about ransom L: She wrote you, I mean you wrote me that night and ?? something about you saying bingo you had to be sitting right beside her, you have to tell her that AL: Wait, woah woah woah, no. You talling bout when she replied to you after that one email you sent when you said fuck her? I was- L: No - AL: I’m gonna tell you what happened L: ? Al: No she didn’t, ok, I’ma tell you what happened. I was sitting there in the room, they had another hotel room, it was at that time of night that Laina was going to bed and every night I put Laina to bed and the email came through and she read it and that’s when she messaged you back and that’s the absolutely truth and you know, you can question it all you want to but that’s what happened, I don’t show them shit, ok. Because all I - L: I defended you and I defended myself and since you aint done those fucking things, don’t be coming up in my house you shouldn’t be here, did she tell you I said all that? AL: Listen, I don’t get into nothing she said and that’s the god’s honest truth. She’s freaking out every single day and it’s driving me nuts so I’m glad they went to Texas, ok? L: Yeah. AL: It drives me - between her and Veronica driving me frickin’ nuts. L: Why do you have to be around them? AL: I’m not around them, ok, we’re looking for our son. We have a shared child in common. L: ? stress on you if you were listening to them drive you nuts AL: And guess what, you know me well enough to know I’m gonna get myself out of stressful situations that are not productive and you know that
- L: I know that. So, is this why you wouldn’t, why you don’t want me and Harley to be with you? AL: I never said that. L: ? keep doing that? AL: I never said that. L: I have agreed to do everything you’ve asked that I’ve asked you told you whatever, I’ve agreed to testify, ok. I’ve agreed to help find him. I’ve agreed to do everything. I’m tired of being portrayed as the killer of a child that I love. If you wanna know something, I have a better relationship with Gannon than I even do Laina. Gannon and I ?? This is why it’s killing me, it’s killing me because ? portrayed wrong. AL: Ok, let’s pump the brakes here ok. I’m serious, let’s pump the brakes.

You brought your ex-wife to our home and that was wrong. AL: I didn’t bring nobody. She got her ass on a plane and came and the messages show that you told her that you would support her when you got here so we’re not playing this game. She is irrelevant in this conversation L: I Said I need to ask Albert and then what did I do?

AL: You got plenty of hugs, you got plenty of hugs until you decided to bounce and come and get your shit and bounce L: I asked for Valentine’s Day, I said, hey let us come stay, do you think you gave me anything? But you can give her conversations every day you could talk to her every day? AL: Listen, you’ve been begging me, let, listen L:? you tell this shit to the kids? AL: Let me tell you something L: God, how dare you AL: You’re not making yourself believable to me. You offered the truth, ok, you offered lie detector tests.

I’m trying to meet you L: You literally just told me it was a fake bullshit of a lie. You told me none of it was true AL: Tecia, I got to ask you every day - L: You just told me that AL: I got to ask you every day, like yesterday was the bike accident that was the first time I heard that one after 3 weeks ok. Now today I call you back willing to work with you for a lie detector test and that’s a bullshit story. Ok? L: I already said I would do a lie detector test AL: (between a sigh and an ugh, lol) L: I already told you I would do a lie detector test AL: That’s completely irrelevant, what’s relevant is the truth.

Like yeah you’re really gonna let that happen AL: Listen, you give me the truth and we find my son L: ? if you wanted me you would not be apart from me AL: Tecia, watch your interview, you said you left because of Landen. You said that, not me. I Didn’t say Tecia leave. I said everybody come together be a team, let’s find Gannon, that’s what I said. And that’s what I’ve said from day one. And you bounced on me. L: I left from the house because you had her there in our home AL: I sure did and I’ll tell every judge jury in this country that I had my ex-wife, my mom, my two sisters, my uncle, aunt veronica, two other freakin’ women, Landen’s brother, I had a team of like 15 people supporting the family working as a team to do everything we could to find Gannon. That’s the truth
- L: I’m sorry if it sounds selfish but I hate that bitch, ok. AL: Well guess what listen to what I just said, listen to what I just said. I had everybody in the house but you know who wasn’t there? You know who wasn’t there? My wife and my daughter. They bounced on me, they bounced on me but me being the good person, I’m still here willing to listen to you L: you told my mom we had to turn the keys in to you! AL: I told that you can come get your stuff after you said you didn’t wanna be there anymore ok, you left. you and Harley got in Harely’s car, packed suitcases, supposed going to the police station and you never showed up until like the next day or some shit like that ok, so if you would’ve done what you were supposed to L: ? AL: No, you listen to me, if you would’ve done what you were supposed to we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now, ok so don’t turn this on me. I’ve been a team player this whole time for the entire team L: ? ? together right now is what you’re saying AL: If you would’ve never left we wouldn’t be having this conversation. You got your shit and you bounced ok. What we need now is the truth. L: So you’re saying if I would’ve never left we’d be together right now? AL: I’m saying you bounced, ok? You bounced. L: Okay see, see that's your point you don't have ?? you don't want to be with me AL: that's not what I'm saying, it's not about our relationship it's about Gannon and you’re dodging me when I keep asking for the truth saying I'm gonna drive to you at ESA - she hung up
