"I don't anticipate that there will be anyone else arrested, but that's always a possibility," said Michael Allen with the D.A.'s office.
Letecia Stauch is set for a video advisement from the El Paso County Jail sometime in the next week or so. It'll be similar to what we saw in South Carolina Tuesday morning, but this time she'll learn her arrest charges.

Next, the D.A.'s office will file its formal charges ...
...
Allen says Letecia's lawyer will most likely unseal the arrest affidavit, revealing the reasons law enforcement took her into custody -- and that could happen any day now.

"As it stands right now, nobody can see it, including the defense when they get appointed. So, they will ask to have it unsealed so that they can have access to it," Allen said.
....
Allen told KRDO, even without Gannon's body, the D.A.'s office is confident in its ability to prosecute the case.

Defense attorney: Letecia Stauch is a lawyer’s worst nightmare
Colorado Springs, Colo. (KRDO) -- Letecia Stauch, the woman accused of murdering her 11-year-old stepson, Gannon Stauch, is on her way back from South Carolina to sit in an El Paso County jail cell.

Letecia Stauch was arrested in Horry County, South Carolina and charged with first degree murder, child abuse resulting in death, tampering with a body and tampering with physical evidence.

Stauch waved her right to an extradition hearing in court Tuesday, allowing the extradition to proceed. We learned that Stauch is spending Wedneday night at a Kansas jail on her way back to Colorado Springs.

NewsChannel 13's Julia Donovan sat down with criminal defense attorney Jeremy Loew to talk about how Stauch's behavior online could impact her time in court.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A community affected by the death of an 11-year-old Colorado Springs boy wants to make sure he's never forgotten.

“He goes to school with our kids. He plays with our kids, “ said neighbor Tauni Conbs.

Now, the little boy’s community is making sure the child is never forgotten. Combs is leading a neighborhood push to name a park after Gannon.


“Gannon is a part of our community and we all care about members of our community here and it’s important for him to be remembered as who he was,” she said.


Combs said she’s presented the park plans to the Lorson Park development, and will finalize details “after then case wraps up."
 
Letecia Stauch, stepmom and murder suspect in Gannon case, in KS jail Wednesday

11 News spoke to a Colorado Springs attorney March 2 after the stepmother's arrest to ask how the case moves forward if Gannon is never found.

"The fact that they were so confident in bringing first-degree murder charges along with several other charges, including tampering with a body, tells me they have plenty of evidence," David McDivitt told reporter Danielle Kreutter.

"They've all been working behind the scenes to build a case that allowed them to make these charges this morning, so there's no doubt in my mind they have a significant amount of physical evidence. To say, 'Look, we don't think we're going to find him alive, and we have also charged his stepmother with first-degree murder and tampering with a body,' these are very serious charges. These are as serious as charges can get, and prosecutors do not make these charges unless they feel like they have the evidence they need to win in court."

If Gannon is never found, McDivitt said the public only needs to look back to last year for an example of a case where prosecutors got a murder conviction despite never finding the victim.

"We've seen as recently as Patrick Frazee ... it can be done without a body, and there's no doubt in my mind the prosecutors have enough evidence where they feel confident to move forward with these charges."
 
NEW OVERNIGHT: Letecia Stauch is no longer showing up in the jail in Kansas she was staying in last night, and is presumably back on the road to COS. We have not been given a time that she will arrive, but we know the Kansas jail is about six and a half hours from here.
