The last known sighting of Stauch was Monday afternoon between 3 and 4 p.m. in the Lorson Ranch neighborhood at his home. He lives along Mandan Drive east of Colorado Springs near Fontaine Boulevard and Marksheffel. He was reportedly going to visit his friend a few streets away.

Gannon's father is a member of the National Guard, and the Guard is assisting with search efforts.

Due to his age and expected weather, the Major Crimes Unit is assisting in the search because they have more tools at their disposal.

MODS PLEASE BRING THIS POST OVER TO ALL NEW THREADS UNLESS THERE IS AN ARREST.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THIS WHOLE POST HERE IS THE SHORT VERSION. WE CANNOT IGNORE GANNON'S STEPMOTHER POSSIBLE INVOLVEMENT IN HIS DISAPPEARANCE BASED ON THE VIDEOTAPE. THIS IS A RARE CASE WHERE WE WILL ALLOW MEMBERS TO DISCUSS THE STEPMOTHER HOWEVER DO NOT TRASH HER OR CALL HER NAMES LIKE YOU ARE ON A PLAYGROUND. DISCUSS THE FACTS AND LEAVE THE NAME-CALLING TO FACEBOOK GROUPS. YOU OWN YOUR WORDS. A GOOD WAY TO DECIDE IF YOU SHOULD POST SOMETHING OR NOT IS ASK YOURSELF IF YOU COULD DEFEND WHAT YOU POST IN A COURT OF LAW. ALSO PLEASE USE HER INITIALS.

Dear Everyone,

Rarely are things black and white when it comes to the Websleuths rules.

One of our rules is we cannot accuse just anyone of a crime. Good rule. Another rule we do our best to follow is unless law enforcement says someone is a suspect or even a person of interest we cannot accuse anyone connected to a case of a crime.

Then we have our great big gray areas. Like Gannon's case.

It is rare these days for law enforcement to actually say someone is a suspect but we have to use our common sense.

Take the case of the missing children of Lori Vallow. Her behavior and the fact that people around her are dropping dead leaves us with the very logical conclusion that she has done something with her children and therefore we do allow our members to discuss this case with Lori and her husband Chad as possible perps involved in her missing children.

Mark Sievers was just convicted of 1st-degree murder in the death of his wife Dr. Teresa Sievers even though he was hundreds of miles away when she was murdered. Early on we allowed our members to discuss Mark Sievers as a suspect because of what our members discovered and it was only common sense that he was a suspect.

Then there is the case of Heidi Broussard. Her boyfriend was 100 percent innocent in her disappearance and her murder but many members decided to accuse him of being involved because he was awkward in front of the camera. I hope that those who felt it was OK to accuse a man when there was no evidence to suggest he had anything to do with the crime will re-think before they ever do something like that again. Remember, unless the Internet blows up, Heidi and Shane's children could (one day) read your words about their father.

Your words have power. You are responsible for your opinions. We cannot babysit this thread 24/7.

Always imagine you are standing in front of the person you are posting about. Imagine that person knows your real name and where you live. Imagine that person has the power to go on a forum and say something about you. Now, this scenario is strictly a fantasy but it is a great guideline to use when you post.

Below is the short version of this post.

ADMIN NOTE:

This post lands at random.

It is against Websleuths TOS to be rude toward or personalize against members, whether individually or collectively.

Differing opinions are welcome at WS, but they should be based on some known fact from MSM or LE rather than simply making accusations (whether against members, neighbours, or LE) with no facts to substantiate.

Please do not name call or ridicule members for strongly anticipating a negative outcome in this case when, after 7,000 investigative hours, there is still no sign of Gannon being alive. Websleuths members have a lot of collective wisdom, knowledge and experience in these types of scenarios. Common sense tell members that Dan May does not show up for a runaway kid, LE does not have crime lab techs going through a house or LE digging endlessly through snowbanks if they think, or are wanting the public to think, they are looking for a live runaway.

Thanks.

Can we talk about TS's suspended teaching certificate now, the circumstances surrounding the ruling etc, now that it's outlined on in a MSM source? The actual documents are publicly available. Because it points to a pattern of deception, also hints at motive, imo.

Yes you can

We're out of patience with posts about the carpet video. Starting to feel like "if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one there to hear".

I have made at least 3 posts advising members not to discuss the carpet video.

In addition, CocoChanel has made the following post which is one of the opening posts of this and previous threads:

The thing that still has me scratching my head a little about the last statement is this: If I felt that I had been unfairly maligned and accused of nefarious activity when there had actually been none … and I felt that I wanted to share my story through the media, would my first call really be to a place called "CrimeOnline"? I don't mean to imply anything even *remotely* disparaging about the organization itself, which is as far as I know absolutely superb -- it's just that it feels semantically like kind of odd messaging. Or maybe I'm just 100% out of the loop and this is a very typical way for people to proceed in cases like this …

I 100% agree. Nancy Grace is the one behind Crime Online and most true crime enthusiasts know that. I’m not sure if Tee is one or not but I am sure she is being contacted by a lot of media. I also would attempt to defend my innocence and FIND MY STEPSON by contacting the major networks and anyone who will listen. Not some “exclusive” onetime interview like I’m the Queen and don’t have time to talk to these peasants. She is really something isn’t she?
Makes you wonder why she didn’t go on the podcast with Nancy. Wouldn’t want to be on the other end of Nancy if I was guilty. I mean Nancy isn’t known for defending criminals.

The day is breaking in Colorado. Thinking of the searchers today and of Gannon and his loved ones.

 

[flashy09]

My 6 yr old has an upset stomach today. Even though I knew SM story made no sense, it becomes completely obvious when living the reality. The thought of her taking Gannon to run non essential errands is ludicrous. No way did she put Gannon in AS truck (with a sick bag!) for anything not sinister. Reasons I would put a child so sick they needed a sick bag - to take to the doctor, to take home from school, to get home from the airport.....100% never to go buy my husband a brand new bike in January without him.

I also think the stomach issue was from a head or internal injury and the vomit probably had blood in it, which is what tipped her off that he was seriously injured to where she was in big trouble with the law and AS.

It would be interesting to check the car wash cameras in the area. I don't know how precise apple watch or GPS tracking is so maybe they know exactly where she was, but if not it would be a good idea. Even just the drive thru ones at gas stations in case he rolled down the window. My kids are not very good with a sick bag.

It IS possible:
Based on the mountains being visible in Gannon's sunglasses, his face--ie the front of the truck when backed in-- faced west and slightly north.

In this area, and that time of year, the sun is very low in the sky and sets on the left side of Pikes peak at around 5pm. The sun would appear West by Southwest at around 2p and complete its arc at approximately west by west by Southwest (a little south of due west.)

Therefore; at around 2pm, stationary objects, like a telephone pole, the vehicle to the north of the truck, etc., would have been casting shadows in an approximately East by Northeast direction, relative to the sun.

The driver's door sweeps an arc from slightly south of East to approximately west of south by Southwest (possibly more westward motion), and the rear passenger's *would* sweep an arc from slightly north of East to approximately west of North.

The punchline?
Yes, along it's arc the driver's door casts a shadow under the truck and in the precise location as the rear passenger's door is alleged to be opening.

Don't even get me started on proving the date and time of each RD vid, without a date or time stamp. I mean, what's next? The sun is a liar out to get her too?

Great post!!!

Nancy Grace used to get on my nerves, but I would pay to watch her interrogate SM!

Maybe the landlord/home owner?

Since the house hasn't actually been declared a crime scene, I suppose the tenants as well as the landlord, property manager or homeowner would be free to come and go.
That's just a guess. LE may have suggested they stay away, but unless the house is sealed, they can still come and go.

Has it been disclosed who reached out to who? I don't know if it has, but if it were me, no, I would be consulting my lawyer and doing everything they told me to do. Granting interviews, I assume, would not be something they'd advise that I do.

Haaaaaaa. A Tsunami of lies.

Here's a thought, and maybe someone with experience with psychological issues can chime in. Assume she did what many of us suspect she did, either deliberately or accidentally kill an innocent child, and conceal or dispose of his body. Is it possible she has blocked out the entire episode, because it's just too difficult to accept? Perhaps the word salad rants are just evidence of her brain trying to reconnect the fragments without including the portions including the horrible event.

I keep going back and forth, sometimes it's "She's a cold calculating person, made a choice, underestimated how much technology provides awareness of movements" and other times it's "She's a mess, her synapses are misfiring."

I like to think I would keep up appearances better if I committed a crime that looks like this. Stay quiet, keep my head down, play the role of concerned, even grieving stepparent, participate in search efforts somehow.

Keeping your head would be a sane thing to do. A person like yourself would have the insight and self control to do that. What we are seeing are responses of a person who has no control of her reactions towards insults to her ego. It's automatic, she can't stop herself. Been that way her whole like. IMO

She still gets on mine. Pretty sure such an interrogation might force the word "cringe" to come up with a new definition.

Morning, catching up and hoping this is the day sweet child is found.

Which leads me to believe she does not have a lawyer.

Or she’s incredibly stupid.

I'm going to have to go with "both" on this one.
