Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Results of an independent autopsy has been revealed. The pathologist who conducted the second autopy rules Nolan Wells’ cause and manner of death are “undetermined,” pending investigation.
The pathologist found red discoloration on the back of Nolan's head. But due to the fact that body parts were missing and some procedure were incomplete hindered a final ruling. Typically in an autopsy internal organs are removed and examined, but placed back inside the body for burial or cremation. Some of Nolan's neck tissue was missing.
According to family lawyer, Ben Crump, foul play could not be ruled out.

Leticia Stauch's murder conviction has been overturned by the Colorado Court of Appeals. Stauch was found guilty of murder in the death of her 11-year-old stepson, Gannon. Now, a three-judge panel agrees that a biased juror deliberated on the case. In the 54 page ruling, the panel noted the juror said his son-in-law worked as a deputy district attorney in the District Attorney's office which prosecuted the case. The juror should have been dismissed automatically. This now means a retrial.
Stauch, step mother to Gannon Stauch, reported the 11-year-old boy as missing. In reality,Stauch was stabbed, beat, shot, and killed inside the family’s Fountain home. Letetcia Stauch then tried to cover up her crimes, by blaming numerous imaginary people and driving to Florida to dispose of the boy's body. Gannon Stauch was stuffed inside a suitcase, which was then tossed over a bridge in Pace, Florida.
Prosecutors said that Letecia Stauch was upset that she was left taking care of her stepchildren. Internet searched shows her distain while Gannon’s father was away at work with the US National Guard.
The Colorado Department of Law filed an appeal June 29, with the Supreme Court. It's now a waiting game to find out if court will review the case.
