YouTuber faces backlash for charging to view autopsy photos of murdered Colorado boy
- YouTuber "Zav Girl" charged $3 on Patreon for her video featuring autopsy photos of Gannon Stauch, an 11-year-old boy murdered by his stepmother in 2020.
- Gannon was stabbed 18 times, hit in the head, and shot by his stepmother Letecia Stauch, who hid his body in a suitcase and disposed of it off a bridge in Florida.
- The lead prosecutor criticized Zav Girl's actions as disrespectful to Gannon's family, suggesting she use diagrams or illustrations instead of actual autopsy photos.
- Zav Girl defended herself by saying some people find autopsy photos informative, but deleted her Patreon statement amid backlash.
- The case has sparked discussion around laws governing the online sharing of graphic homicide evidence like autopsy photos.
