Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, Lorson Ranch, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *endangered* #4

[jillycat]

Maybe this has already been asked but, why did she back into the driveway? Why didn't she just keep the truck where it was and let him get into the truck there?

She backed in when she returned as well. And seemed obsessed with getting it parked right. She kept moving up and backing in again.

 

[NoeticSoul]

Does that mean its release may not have been strategic?

I'm thinking not so much 'strategic' to release the video, no :/ moo

 

[Megnut]

The bag she brought out when she first walked to the truck, I wonder if that's been recovered.

Referencing the KRDO video sequence -
Things that stood out to me. -- Please correct me if I'm
The first thing we see is someone who appears to be an adult in a white winter hat going to the driver's side of the truck. Carrying something small - might be a purse. Wearing a backpack?
The truck then backs into the driveway. And gets out of the truck.
A smaller person with wearing what appears to be sweat pants with white stripes down the leg gets into the rear driver's side. Driver does something as he? is getting in.
Driver gets back in the truck.
White hat driver gets out again and does some things out of sight of the camera (behind the truck)
*A car drives by on the street*z
Driver gets back in at just under 3 minutes
The truck pulls out a full minute later.
There does appear to be ??? stuff/ (and I keep thinking maybe a person? wearing a black beanie? in the bed of the truck? but i really can't see what the heck is moving back there)
On return, the truck does manuever quite a bit backing in, then what appears to be the same driver, this time carrying the white hat and possibly something in the other hand, gets out.

Up for discusiion - these are my observations only*

Surveillance video may show Gannon Stauch leaving with stepmom - KRDO

Much longer one, six minutes or so

Why did she bother backing the truck up into the driveway? If two people were just getting into the car, why not just walk to where it was by the curb? Maybe I'm jaded by the Watts video but makes me think she was loading something heavy into the back of the truck.

Also, is Gannon still young/short enough that he would have to ride in the back seat?

Does that mean its release may not have been strategic?

I don't think so. KRDO stated that they weren't going to show the video, per LE request, until ABC made the "editorial decision" to do so.

 

[sf618b]

Yes!!!! That is why I stay away. Bad mojo on that road! Also, the “hatchet man” used to camp/live off that road. Creepy!!!

Colo. Springs 'Hatchet Man' May Be Linked To Delphi, Indiana Double Murder, Police Say

The resemblance is terrifyingly uncanny, mostly the nose and mouth. Wow.

Fox 21 news chose not air that video footage on their 6 pm news, and said why (jeopardize the investigation) too.

Kudos to Fox 21

KRDO's weak reasoning for airing of 6 min video.

Editor's Note: The El Paso County Sheriff's Office requested that media not air the video as the investigation is ongoing. KRDO chose to honor that request until ABC News made the editorial decision to show the video in World News Tonight with David Muir.

I think every action and every word spoken by LE is highly orchestrated with a means to an end.

Just going to sit back now and wait for the BOOM!

Me too.

 

[kittythehare]

What is she carrying to the truck? She walks out to the truck parked on the road with whatever. Then backs into the driveway

There was no need to reverse up for the child to get in.
Was it an attempt to hide his movements, if he got in between truck and parked car?
But, LE watched that for 7 hrs and didn't apparently notice anything at all during the week, CNN reported and interviewed CCTV owner...
either someone screwed up bigly or they're doing it now.
CCTV should have been harvested immediately from all local cameras. That is how a missing person case is investigated.
\no reason not to.

 

[oviedo]

I'm thinking not so much, no :/ moo

I’m curious how is your local news and LE? If they truly asked for no release would that be honored ? I’m just thinking there is something more to this leaking of the neighbors video - something isn’t right to me

That six minute video is so shady and heartbreaking. She is carrying something to the truck and then to back it into the driveway to load an 11 yr old?? Obviously something is wrong with him and I think he stands there like he can't get in the backseat himself. Does she lift him up? What in the world is going on once she gets in? I almost feel like something awful was happening to him right then. I am so disturbed by this case. Between the PC, the SM interview and this video.....it all just feels like a made for tv movie is happening before my eyes.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but when Gannon opens the door something falls out of the truck. She bends down to pick up whatever it was and then he climbs in. It doesn't look like she helps him into the truck, but I could be wrong.

It's easier to see on a bigger screen. On my phone I couldn't tell what was happening, but on my laptop it's much clearer.

 

[WildOrchid]

Maybe he got in the backseat because he was feeling poorly and wanted to lie down instead of trying to stay upright in the front seat?
Surely getting projectile vomited on wouldn’t have set anyone off right? I just can’t figure out the reasoning. He’s a little guy.

 

[GordianKnot]

Maybe the truth of the "doctor's visit" is that whatever happened to Gannon, SM hoped would be cleared up by a visit to the doctor/emergency room/similar.

That would dovetail with treating him solicitously.

Then the trip to the hospital or wherever did not go so well for Gannon, shall we say.

I think she realized there was no plausible innocent explanation for GS's condition.

Once that realization dawned, there was never going to be a trip to the doctor.

Doctors ask questions when they see injuries.

Doctors are also mandatory reporters.

In the longer version someone is carrying a long item into the truck.
Like a shovel wrapped in a blanket or trash bags.

So if he was alive when he was in the truck, there would be no decomp evidence in the vehicle.

 

[155etta]

live with gray, now: (he's going over details in the video survellience.)

Can someone summarize later? I find I can't watch him.

 

[kittythehare]

Under the edge of the sweatshirt there’s a bandage on her left palm. The corner of the bandage is peeled back a little.

One would receive an injury here from gardening, perhaps, from using a rough rope to move a heavy bundle.. myriads of ways.
I see it clearly here.

FWIW Tom Mustin (Denver 7) took a beating on Twitter for being such a showboater at a missing child’s expense. I’m ok with this.
