Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, Lorson Ranch, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *endangered* #5

[bradfordsleuth]

I wonder if she has been able to give other valuable information such as SM was cleaning more than usual, or washed something multiple times, was acting strange, saw something red on the floor. I find it hard to believe a person can harm a child and act completely normal. But then again I could never imagine causing a child pain, so who knows, maybe she got back and was cool as a cucumber.

Quoted bbm

That interview she gave through the back of her head was far from normal. JMO

Seems social media has been a big problem in this case. @FOX21News and @courtney_fromm looking into how rumors online can derail investigators.

The crime unit will be there for DAYS????? I can't fathom...

JMO

WTH happened in there?? I can not wrap my head around that??

 

[MysteryAlpaca]

I don't want to break any rules so please tell me if this is not allowed. But is it possible that SM could be covering up something someone else in the house did? It could explain a lot. I hate thinking these things but she definitely seems involved in something that led to Gannon disappearing. And this case has my head spinning.

And the crime scene people going to be at the house for 4 days?! I'm worried Gannon may be in the house. Or maybe they uncovered something else illicit going on? I can't fathom WTH is going on here.

 

[AgeofAquaruis]

There will be at least one. I'm sure. I would suggest a full confession, as opposed to facing Dan May and team. MOO

 

[Lusitana]

Was she not aware of the cameras? Or did she calculate it wrong? Because having her pulling up so Gannon could get into the car made no sense. And then, parking the car where she did when she returned didn't make much sense either, considering the car wasn't parked like that when she left.

the LE lady that gave the news conf. yesterday seemed to imply that the sheriff office does not follow the SM sites so call in tips. i found that interesting. in the recent dilly case the sheriff said that they had officers following SM. but then today the news blurb about rumors on SM being wrong made me think that agents from somewhere are following SM. i think it's prudent for LE to follow SM. MOO.

She said they don’t accept tips via SM as I recall.

I get that the Sheriff's office is trying to get ahead of rumors with stating the crime scene unit will be there for a few days. I don't understand, however, what could possibly take that long? Think of Kelsey Berreth, the Watts, and Todts - none of those had crime scene units there for more than a day or two - maybe three. They MUST think something happened in that home, MOO, of course.

 

[oviedo]

I can’t fathom how, or to what end.

If Gannon was still alive, it would be in SM’s best interest that he be recovered alive and well.

I’m convinced that she has the answers here, and isn’t talking because the truth is worse than silence.

The family is just trying to remain hopeful.

ITA now I’m wondering if this was a poisoning with antifreeze ? I still think he’s in water for some weird reason but I don’t think he’s with us still

For days? <modsnip>

Life Plus 156 years.

Yeah life in prison was good. But the 156 years was just awesome!

 

[toevlugsoord]

I suspect the crime unit will be there "for days" because they will be there AFTER they arrest as well, which I suspect is imminent.

SM's silence right now is deafening.

I keep going back and forth on whether he is alive or not. I guess my hope is still strong. SM interview confuses me. It's either a sick game that she is using Gannon to hurt one or both of his bio parents or she knows he is gone.

Ugh.. my head hurts!

 

[FlossyMay]

Ugh! I fell asleep under my weighted blanket. I knew better than to crawl under that thing, but I did it anyway and slept for 2 hours. Did I miss an arrest?

 

[LadyL]

I just saw the video with BM and BD and little sister and the video of Gannon leaving with SM and not returning with her.I'm in tears. IMO-Gannon looked like he was limping when he got in the truck. IIRC-SM left at around 10:15 and returned around 2:15, so he could be 2 hrs. away from home. I know there are good stepparents out there. But if the BP has to be gone for an extended period of time, I really am starting to think that the child need to be in the physical cutody of the other BP if there is joint custody and not the SP.

two hours travel doesn't give her time to do whatever she did to him and then dispose of/bury him
he's closer than that IMO

Not that we know of!

The metro crime lab van is still on scene and the @EPCSheriff says it will remain here over the next several days to collect evidence

Brandon Thompson on Twitter

Several days collecting evidence is kind of a trip to consider. That's a lot of evidence.

I think that she was probably aware, but maybe it was time-sensitive to get him out of there when she did so she had to roll the dice and was banking on them not being able to pick up as much as it did

 

[zea mays]

For days? Jesus.

Praying you’re right. I agree...it’s so quiet
