Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 **ARREST** #42

[Angels27]

witness list questions/thoughts

1. Eguardo is on there, but not Quincy Brown. Did she change the rape story after this list was released?

2. I notice a Green Dot rep is listed. I don't know if this has been discussed previously, but Green Dot cards can be used for nefarious reasons since they are largely untraceable. They are also used to send money to inmates. Perhaps payment for disposing of Gannon's body?

3. This list was dated before Gannon's body was found. Pensacola FBI is on there. Did they have evidence at that time that LS and/or her minions were in Florida?

Are you serious? Is “Eguardo” really on witness list???
Does that guy really exist?

 

[Angels27]

Wow, there are hours of recorded phone conversations and texts between AS and LS. Imagine him having to listen to her go on and on. It’s enough to make anyone’s head spin.

I was having trouble following the timeline, so I took everything that had a timestamp in the affidavit and created a spreadsheet. I added a few notations and a other notable events for different days.

Where after 2:22 pm was GS killed?
TS was back at her phone by 2:45.
Then LH home at 3:11 - 3:28.
There literally is only 23 to 25 minute intervals between these events.

And LH's room was right next to her brother's. How do you keep a child from wanting to go into their room when they get home from school? They want to change clothes, put their stuff away, etc etc...

Refresher from the archives:

– In a Jan. 31 interview with Gazette news partner KKTV, Letecia claimed she was initially denied her request for a lawyer by Sheriff’s Office detectives.

With the preface that most of the interviews with suspects I have seen were from Canada it seems standard practice for LE to either flat out ignore the requests for a while or at minimum stall and offer all the reasons they can think of why a lawyer isnt a good idea.

IMO
I think when LH got home, this is the point where LS told her to go outside and play and not to bother her brother because he was sick or sleeping. We even read where a neighbor or another camera saw LH outside riding her bike around that time.

Those poor kids were under total control of that monster. They would not dare go against her words and so they probably always obeyed her to avoid her sick and twisted wrath. I dont even want to think of some of the sick and twisted punishments this women may have invented for them if they ever went against her.

I completely agree.
This really puzzles me, even if she didn't want to go to her room straight away before the shop, she must have after coming back from the shop. Did TS just close his door and was that normal when he was away (as when he went to his friends?)
TS needed more cleaning stuff so she was not done cleaning his room. How did she keep the 2 girls upstairs after they got back from the shop until police was called?

One thing I find incredible is how she was so willing to blame and allow someone else to go to prison for the rest of their lives for something she did.

She tries to blame both Eguardo and Quincy and she was willing to let either of them take the fall for her murderous crime.

These two people have a right to be really mad at her. And she probably has not even thought about one of them who may eventually be in a prison near her. She had better keep one eye open in the back of her head because I would not be surprised if one of them wants to get revenge.

Has the real Quincy Brown been arrested yet? I'd like to hear what his take on this is .

IMO
From what I remember reading here about how she came up with Q's name is that she found his name through internet search that he is being wanted for certain serious crimes. I dont think he is arrested yet but I think he has warrants out for serious crimes and I believe that is how she came up with his name.

She is already making fellow prisoners mad at her and some of them arent even in prison yet.

The AA says the younger sister told LE when she came home TS told her GS "was asleep in her bed and she could not see him." The child said she was told to go outside and play.

The way the report is written, it's unclear whose bed GS was supposed to be in. "Her bed" could have referred to either the sister's bed or TS's bed. I'm assuming it probably meant the sister's bed as that would be a way to keep the child away from the whole area IF the children's bedrooms were next to each other.

Thank you! I appreciate it.
I especially appreciate it in light of facebook removing every drop of my content and links on my Crankycrankerson Case Archives page.
Very frustrating. They removed it because it doesn't fit community standards. BUT... we all know there are no community standards on facebook. It's all crap.
They removed my content because someone complained.
My guess is that someone is related to one of my 150 cases and doesn't like the light in which they are portrayed.
And, yes I did appeal to facebook to reinstate. Nothing so far.
I'm pretty pissed off, actually.

Oh Amanda, I am so sorry to hear that....u should be upset! Good luck with the reinstatement. And thank u so much for your hard work here with all the archives you post for our reference. It’s so nice to have quick access to everything, and so organized. I can’t imagine how much time u dedicate to these but u do a great job!

 

[Springsmom3]

Now, isn't that interesting.....

Right before leaving the house she "locks" her phone then leaves it home. When she gets back she "unlocks" it.

Hmmmm.... If GS is with her, HH is at work and LH is in school WHO is going to get into her phone???

My phone locks automatically after a period of time of no activity. I could tell it not to, but the default is to lock. I then have to unlock it when I pick it back up. I imagine LS’s phone is similar.

Yes, I'm with you on that. I meant after the 2 girls came back, she had to say GS woke up, felt much better and went to a friend. So according to TS he was not at home by the time they got back (5ish iirc)

Yes, I think so too. I was just wondering if he was captured yet and whether he knows she tried to frame him.

Thank you SO much for doing this and sharing it with us!

Except I saw LS told someone somewhere her “candle” was electric. Those burn slow holes for a long time before they would ignite anything to create any smoke.

I'm not sure that's true. Did she actually say "electric" ? I haven't seen that. I have seen where she stated he "turned on" a candle. Believe it or not, I've known more than one person use the term "turned on" to describe lighting a regular candle (with a match).

There is no reason to believe RD "lied" about saying LE told him this is the break they needed.
I do believe it's entirely possible they told him that,and, that they themselves believed it at the time.
The local LE on this case have never once made a disparaging remark about RD that I'm aware of, and they knew exactly what he said, they said.
I also believe, they uncovered a TON more digital/physical evidence after that surveillance tape from RD.

jmo

One thing that RDs video does show us and LE is that something wasnt right with Gannon when he came out to that truck. I think he was suffering from some type of trauma to the body or drug of some kind. That's just where my mind takes me when I see him. Just the way he moves and is just standing there and how he doesn't try to pick up the device he dropped. This does tell LE something isn't right here. Maybe this videowas something that pointed them back at LS or helped confirm suspicions. IMO if something wasn't wrong wouldn't TS make sure he was on Petco surveillance video to show everyone he was fine and out shopping with her? Whatever her reasons were she didn't want anyone in that store to notice what was wrong with Gannon.

 

[sindydee]

She was unquestionably faking it.

Page 14, Item #102 in the arrest affidavit.

Detective Bethel notes that TS was unresponsive to questions in the ambulance, but "seemed to have a miraculous recovery" once she reached the hospital.

Det. Bethel has solid writing skills.
She got some nice shots in at TS.
That one was a beaut.

JMO.

I noticed this too. So many digs at LS whilst still sounding totally professional. Brilliantly done.

LS only had 25 mins to kill Gannon, but she was already on a mission. If she had decided to use a firearm, well.. we know how long it takes to shoot someone.
She however, had hours to clean up.
I believe Lainas room is actually upstairs, that HH and Gannon were the 2 that had bedrooms in the basement. To be safe though, LS sent her out anyways to have time to get his body and any visible evidence out of the house in case the girls went snooping around later that evening moo.

ETA I still don’t know what to make of the candle burning incident. I feel like something triggered the whole thing but I’m starting to doubt this was a real occurrence.. given her stories and her online searches, I just feel like she doesn’t know what burning and smoke and blisters are like AT ALL. The AA made me feel this was just another ruse like all the rest. Moo
