Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 **ARREST** #45

[wyome]

I am exhausted. The ONLY reason I love the OT paycheck is because my daughter is getting married (hopefully) in July and I need to help pay for the wedding.
We are hoping the wedding in July can still happen, but it is all up in the air so we are winging it, but I need to be sure I can help pay for it, especially, if it is a last minute -Go ahead. I need to be prepared LOL
Although, I cant go shopping for a mother of the bride dress as the shops are all closed and she is getting married on our lake here.
I informed her I can "Bling" up my skirted bathing suit if all else fails
PS--she was NOT impressed LMAO

Oh wow, that's a whole other story momma of the bride. God bless you richly! That's got to be overwhelming. But, congrats!!!

If at one point they knew "she stopped for 5 minutes" then with a tracker on the rental car, couldn't it just as well showed where she stopped for 5-10 minutes on that bridge??

According to Google, GPS tracking service can produce stop reports, in which you can see the date, time, location, and length of any idle times.

If it was by coincidence that the highway worker located the suitcase without any previous warning, then GS body located in Florida may have been a total surprise to investigators like everybody else. (A real miracle if GS located without any warning).

If LS VW was held up at EPC Sheriff evidence facility, do we know anything about the vehicle LS used to get to NC? Was she a passenger? Did she drive the moving van?

I think the FBI may have been tracking LS and the caravan to NC, but they may have been a few steps behind her if she was able to sneak out of NC for Florida without being detected.

Making me crazy not to know if/when FBI lost trail of LS!

They must have been tracking her, because LE asked if anyone had saw her from February 3rd through the 5th in Pace Florida. IMO they knew she was in that area during those days.

They put that question out there after GS body located so I'm not so sure. Could those have been the only days that they had no confirmation of her whereabouts?

Also, after GS located, I think they may have seen LS on surveillance around those dates.

Yeah, I think they definitely lost track of her at some point.

We know she was trying to evade and run from LE, because after her arrest she told the judge, "I wasn't running from you guys."

She also told her friend they thought she was still in Colorado.

Maybe they lost track of her after the second rental was returned. They may not have known what vehicle she was driving or where she was staying.

I don't think they had any idea she had moved the body to Florida.

I agree that they lost track of her momentarily. She was intimating that she and her daughter fled the house with nothing. I would imagine she shared with family that AS cut her off from credit cards and the bank account (even though she probably got her fair share out of the accounts). I think she picked up the cost of the rental truck and someone else rented the vehicle that she transported Gannon in. I also think she split up with the truck and other travelers by "accident" but not an accident. They probably stopped and she went on.

My question is did she use her old phone number or get a burner phone? If they took her original phone after the interview. I am sure she bought a new phone but with a new number. I bet it took them some time to get a warrant for the new number as they would have to prove it was her number. They would have had her daughter's number and maybe were able to get a warrant for the information on that number.

I kinda miss the old days when the cops would sit outside of a suspected perp's residence. Kind of a bummer that she was able to move him to FL and make everyone wait so long to find him. She must have been pissed when they stopped looking at her original dumping area b/c she didn't know what they knew.

Still sending healing vibes to this family and Gannon's friends. Time has passed but the tragedy continues.

What happened with TS's Apple watch she said she was wearing on Monday? I don't know anything about Apple watches, does it have GPS or does it ping of cell towers? According to AA, LE didn't know where she was for 2hrs. What about Gannon's phone?

The AA makes no mention of an Apple Watch, so I guess it doesn’t factor in.

I think she either left Gannon’s phone at Petco, or turned it off.

Or turned it off and left it at Petco (because she’s stupid).

I hope they have her on video near the area where he was found. That would be mean an even stronger case against her.

#99 and #127 In the AA, LE seized TS telephone when she was interviewed by LE. LE also obtained search warrant for HH’s phone, but not noted if it was seized.
There was also a filing regarding a “phone 1 and phone 2”; I can’t for the life of me remember which filing it was in.

They knew where she went and the route she took. There are FBI agents listed from TX, MS, LA, and Fl on Witness List. That’s the exact route to Pace.

 

[Angels27]

I think I mention this, as LS brought it up in her Cousin It interview.

She says that "people are saying" that she murdered Gannon on Sunday. Sunday night. I don't know who "these people" are but I think it was Albert's and Landen's family members. So she wants to give proof that he's still alive late Sunday night and actually calls Harley over to the camera where Harley is confused about which timeframe she's supposed to say she "saw Gannon."

So it makes me wonder, with LS so stridently insisting Gannon was still alive on Sunday night...was he still alive but severely injured? She tries to use the video, she uses the Burger King run and a presumed shared meal among Harley, Laina and Gannon (but not her) to show Gannon came back from GoG (neighbors were already posting about the possibility that she killed him there).

I looked into bludgeoning splatter patterns in non-fatal cases and found that quite a bit of blood can be generated with blows from a blunt object, but victim survived. There are some pretty gruesome cases where victim is left for dead, but crawls away and survives to tell what happened. Also, if the blood is primarily from scalp wounds, those stop bleeding relatively quickly. It makes me think of JonBenet and her inch skull fracture. That was a single major blow from something like a golf club or hammer, swung with great force while she lay on concrete (IMO). No blood on the exterior of her skull to speak of, she was dying from brain bleeding when she was strangled.

The cases with bludgeoning/blood spatter include the Kathleen Peterson case. Autopsy says it took her 90 minutes to bleed out from severe scalp lacerations (at the back of her head, so underlying vascular system was richer).

So I guess I'm leaning toward LS goes ballistic on Gannon on Sunday night about something (the candle story is probably made up). I don't know if that event caused some or all of the bleeding - but the cap on his head and his near inability to walk make me think that it did. Then she finishes him off on Monday afternoon, either with more bludgeoning (hard to do on a mattress though), a firearm (which if the bullet was still inside his head, there wouldn't be a ton of bleeding) or some other method as yet unknown.

Was there a cap on G’s head? I could not see anything as video was too dark. Do we know what kind of cap?

Good morning!

Here for Gannon!!

Yes, but how long after she dumped the body did they obtain that information? They didn't have the data from the Tiguan until at least a week after she first dumped the body because they weren't looking in that area until later in February.

If they had any idea she had moved the body to Florida, then why spend so much time and effort searching all those places in Colorado?

LE seemed to be one or two steps behind her as she was purposely trying to evade them. If she used the moving truck to transfer the body, they may not have the data from that. They may not even know which day she was in the area where the body was found since they are asking for witnesses who may have seen her there over a three day period. It seems to me they are looking for evidence to place her near the area she dumped the body.

They must have been tracking her, because LE asked if anyone had saw her from February 3rd through the 5th in Pace Florida. IMO they knew she was in that area during those days.

Or it could be that LE knew exactly where she was every day except those 3 days. Moo

 

[Bbybluz]

Exact time never stated but the dates are:

Jan. 28th - video offered to LS & AS
Feb. 1st - Roderick finds video
Feb. 2nd - AS shown video
Feb. 5th - Video released on news​

Tuesday, January 28th, Tamika and Roderick Drayton offer video to LS and AS. LS refuses saying he did not go that way. Tamika describes LS demeanor as being too relaxed for a person that has a child missing, smiling, acting like she is at a BBQ.

FBI goes door to door on Saturday, Feb. 1st. Roderick notices they take video from Saturday days before GS is missing. This prompts him to review all his footage. He finds the infamous footage of Gannon and LS leaving/returning. He shows AS on Sunday, Feb. 2nd.

This is the first time I listened to the Audio. Also the first I heard that LE started looking for G in the back yard. Was there a reason why the back yard off the start?

I'm not certain if there is a connection, but a man by the last name Hunt is missing in NC.

Or it could be that LE knew exactly where she was every day except those 3 days. Moo

Or they knew the device was in the area because it pinged off some nearby towers but they need witnesses or clear video surveillance to verify that Letecia was there. Otherwise she could claim someone else, maybe “Eguardo,” drove the car and had her phone.
