Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 **ARREST** #30

[OldLadyBlues]

Think with all this traveling she has been doing, that in the process, she has alluded to where Gannon is? I am SO hopeful and counting on her to have an ounce of humanity.

MOO< MOO

A random thought/question - can AS be granted an immediate divorce from T? Not that he's even probably thinking about that...but just something I was wondering about

No idea. every state is different..

 

[jillycat]

The state. It's a couple stamps, shampoo, envelopes and paper. Not much else

Yeah LE asking is a possibility.

I don't know if that hurts their case though. Are you allowed to involve the public in a lie like that? I honestly have no idea

Why would a professional law enforcement agency and the FBI rely on having a neighbor be their covert operator in a manipulation involving a slice of video from the wrong day, or if Gannon really came home? If LE wanted information released, they would have boldly released it themselves. LE isn’t hanging it’s case on a video.

They found blood, and Dan May was at the house early in this case. LS was never not a suspect. And by now, they have more than we can imagine, and I suspect it’s a very disturbing picture of how crazy and cruel she really is.

The ‘other’ video, where it appears that she had abused him then realized she went to far, is heinous. What I took from that audio is it had to be Gannon’s fault. She hurt and terrified him, then had to twist it into a scenario where she “freaked out” because he allegedly caused damage to something, and then he had to be her pinky swear partner in fixing that. Who tells a child that the furniture in their home had to be sold to fix something broken or damaged so the family doesn’t get thrown out? Only a sadistic narcissist with no soul goes there. I don’t believe LE even needed the video to put this together. It was simply a cherry on the cake of one of Dan May’s days.

I wish I could link but going off memory there have been cases where Divorce was granted quickly.

Her ego wouldn't have batted an eyelash if AS knew she was cheating. He cheated with her as well. She'd whine about having to take care of HIS children and talk about how she did a great job because her child (notice how she both says her daughter is a child and then also a military person LOL) turned out fine. IOW she'd just blame him for it.

In my opinion she truly is a NPD who scapegoated Gannon and systematically abused him as a sort of torture. She started off with emotional and psychological abuse and then slowly escalated once she saw that she had cowed him into fear. Gannon wouldn't have told on her. That's what the "pinky promise" and the gaslighting in the video was all about.

However AS is a codependent IMO and his relationship with Gannon's mother wasn't a healthy one. So when he interacted with LS he was easily manipulated by her. For example she probably justified her abuse of Gannon by pointing out how "screwed up his mother is" and acting like it was tough love or discipline.

She went too far. She probably contained herself to a lower level of abuse when AS was home just out of self preservation. But when he went away, she lost control. I don't think this was a deliberate murder, I think it was two years of systematic abuse and toxic drama that she completely lost control over.

That's why she's shocked that no one would believe her. The LE involved in this case is not a codependent partner. So they immediately saw through her manipulations. She's just manipulated her family for so long she forgot the rest of the world doesn't see it that way.

Very interesting!

I wondered why Gannon never told his mother about they way TS treated him? Perhaps that was a non issue as a result of TS's harsh judgement of her. I can't help but think Landen's life fell apart only after TS and AS began their affair. There is a place in my heart for her.

Very interesting observation. (OFF TOPIC!!!) My fiance and I were stalked by a woman who apparently thought that because she fell in love with him as a friend and finally got the guts up to tell him and he told her no, and gently rejected her that she could stalk him and facebook slander him. She stalked us for 4 months straight in escalating ways. She has multiple facebook accounts as well.

What's interesting is that I knew something was off because she was fired after 16 years as a teacher in MA. for "driving a teenaged boy home from school." (My fiancee actually believed her but I said, no way) Anyway, she also does a name scramble like that. Her name is Anne XXXXX but sometimes she changes it up and goes by Ann E XXXXX and sometimes by Annie XXXXX I told him I felt like this was deliberate, now I can see why.

Great insight!

It's ridiculous we can't do better than this for our children and other vulnerable populations. Genealogy websites, FB, and other websites can point you to people you may know, people that may belong in your family tree, but they can't weed out nonsense like that when doing background checks?

Jail records show Letecia Stauch was booked into the Saline County jail in Kansas at 4:15 p.m. Eastern time. She’s listed as “In Transit/Courtesy Hold” in the jail. It’s about 400 miles away from El Paso County, Colorado where she is being taken.
Stepmother charged in death of missing boy with Loris ties booked into Kansas jail

Why is it reporting eastern time ? Kansas is central , Colorado is mountain?

 

[Cindizzi]

Well I’m still several pages back. But reading that she’s in Kansas in Salina makes me feel ick. I passed the jail twice going back and forth to the pediatricians office . Also traveled I-70 both ways. We live in a nearby city but our pediatrician is there. I have a nephew who is one of the guards for saline county jail.

So since my parents lived in Co for many years. We traveled the route often she’s about 8 hours from being back where she belongs.

She’s back in EPCSO custody now. Booked in around 9:00 a.m. ( 45 minutes ago) !

I sure hope so! TS would be wicked enough to feel entitled to spousal support or alimony.

I doubt Gannon cut his foot in the garage. It is wintertime. No one goes out into their garage with no shoes on. I doubt that a tool went through the side of Gannon's boot or shoe. He could have stepped on a tool and it went through the bottom. And no one with an injured foot goes for a hike. I think LS had injured Gannon inside of the home. She carried him out into the garage to get him out of the house. He probably dripped blood and this was the "Gannon had cut his foot" excuse. I am trying to figure out where the 2x4 comes into play. I wonder if the board was on the floor of the garage. It had gotten blood on it, and she threw it into the back of the truck. There is no way that the board flew out of the back of her truck into the woods. The board and sock would have landed in the street.

Gannon is possibly buried in a shallow grave near the area where ever that board/sock was located. MOO. Mandy Matula from Eden Prarie, MN was buried in a shallow grave. The police even checked the wooded area where she was eventually found. They didn't find her during the initial search. An Eagle Scout had found her during the spring thaw when he noticed her jacket was sticking out from under the ground. When people are in shallow graves the dirt starts to sink in around the body. I doubt LS put Gannon's body out in an open area. And if she had planned his murder. She possibly went to where she left his body first. I think where ever Gannon is located, LS is familiar with the area. MOO

Is that a South Carolina station maybe?

Even with multiple drivers, they need to stay alert as they are guarding a prisoner. It also wouldn't be good for LE to have a car accident because they didn't stop to rest. And it is more than 1700 miles from Myrtle Beach to Colorado Springs.

Personally I think the stop is unrelated to the rental car. Obviously I can't know that but if they are stopping to search for evidence, it doesn't make sense they left Kansas in the middle of the night to continue on to CO. I'd also think they need to coordinate with local LE to process the scene. I wouldn't think they'd just toss evidence found along the way (if TS is talking) into the trunk. Of course, maybe they did that. I guess we'll eventually find out!

To add. It's possible they switched out the LE team altogether.

TS later claimed she found a search on Gannon's phone "can my parents track me if my phone is turned off"? Because this was the only information provided by his Step-Mother, this is the only information LE had to go off in their search.

SBM

This just jumped out at me even though I've seen it several times. She claimed he searched that question. The answer to the question is no - as we're all aware from numerous cases. So, if HE searched that and with the answer being no...why would he bother to leave his phone at home rather than just turn it off? He wouldn't need to...so another screw up of hers in trying to create a cover story.

<modsnip>Garden of the Gods is too far off the route she traveled that Monday by her own account. That area from Lorson to Castle Rock is a nightmare of congested traffic, construction, not easy to zip around. The Garden is so busy daily full of hikers with dogs that he would've been discovered. It's also under surveillance everywhere because it's a free park they take great pride in preserving and deviating off trail is considered a mortal enough sin that you're fined $500 and evicted forever. The public takes it serious. There is nowhere she could even park in the Garden and throw away a Starbucks cup without being witnessed.

Why do you think he wasn't given an amber alert? They said they upgraded it based on his age, weather, and medicine. All of that was true when he went missing. I dont think they bought TS story from the beginning. She's not good at it and it sounded stupid as hell that a kid conveniently stayed home sick the very day he goes missing and then was allowed to go to an unnamed unknown friends without permission as if it was no big deal. The story started off unbelievable.

But the CO criteria for an Amber Alert refer several times to "the abducted child" not "the missing child."

I don't think LE had any credible information to support an abduction. At least that's the way I understood the situation. No matter what else she did, TS did not "abduct" GS.

All I know is that married couples aren't allowed to testify against each other in court. Marital Privileges

This may or may not be an issue in this case.

I can't say for sure but the easiest way to manipulate a kid from a broken family is threatening that they are the ones who broke it in the first place and if they cause trouble they will ruin it even more. Ex Instead of saying to Gannon (if he really burned the carpet) "Ok you need to be more careful so that PS 4 we were going to get you for Christmas is not going to happen because now we need to fix this carpet. If we break it we have to fix it. So we need to be careful."

She says they have to sell the couch. Which anyone knows wouldn't get much money. It's scary to a kid though. And the idea that the landlord would kick them out. She wouldn't legally be able to anyway.

All gaslighting scare tactics. His mother had some issues. She'd probably gaslighted him into believing that his behavior was wrong and she was being a good mom and him telling his own mom would just upset and make his mother feel bad and jealous.

Anything like that. MOO

He only met one of the 4 points required for Amber Alert and why the petition to classify children missing under age 13 as endangered is being circulated.
