Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, Lorson Ranch, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *endangered* #9

[kaen]

Got it - WOW

“First and foremost, I would like to thank all agencies, volunteers, and community members who are working diligently and praying endlessly to bring Gannon home safe. Thank you to my husband who has stayed strong through this and protected our family to the best of his ability and our immediate & extended family members throughout the east coast. To Gannon, please come home soon because your daddy is waiting to watch the new Sonic movie that comes out this week and the cool shirt I got you to wear to the theatre is in your closet.

Social Media has been devastating from the harsh comments, speculations, threats, cyber bullying, etc. It has been a challenge when people are trying to run you off the road, waiting outside your hotel, threatening to kill you, etc. I encourage the Sheriff’s Office to take down those pages that promote negative behavior and violence. Let’s Do what Gannon would do. Be Kind to one another!

We all have engaged in something crazy online at some point but Gannon would want everyone to get along and to focus on finding him.

I know that many people have kids and are invested in this because it hits close to home for them. I would like to think that overall most people are genuine and want to do everything in their power to find G. With that being sad, Please take a step back for a moment and let me explain to you a few details that were not released. For example, just like the video that was leaked, there are additional details that were hidden due to 1) the department doing its job 2) the effects of social media and how some individuals would criticize or hinder the investigation. I chose to listen, I didn’t leak videos or information. But at this time it’s getting later in the process and we just want Gannon home. I feel the need to fill in some gaps. Now let me stress this, POLICE have known this since the first interview.

Saturday Night, G was helping me unload in the garage and cut his foot because there are a lot of tools because Albert does woodworking.

He sat on the edge of the car and we bandaged it up. He was good to go. He always loves helping his dad in the garage build things like his LEGO tables and the flower pot they built for me as a gift. After this, I noticed G kept going to the side of the house.

He told me he was checking to see if the gate was locked because he was the only one with a gate key. It made him proud to be the man of the house while Albert was away. Fast forward, we did a hike on Sunday (cleared), and shopping on Monday ( cleared as well for him getting out of the other side). Please don’t think for a second that there isn’t enough of technology to determine shadows and movement around the truck. There was also proof from my phone that we had taken a selfie in the truck in our driveway that was time stamped. We always send pictures to Albert when we are out and about or when he is away. That can be scanned for actual time verification. Last, from day one the Sheriff’s office has known a description of the person/friend whom Gannon left with.

I explained to them and provided evidence. They had information about G having the key to go out the side gate. Last they have more in-depth details that go along with this pointing to who sent the person or why he may have come. Again, I repeat they have had this Initially and I was asked to keep quiet about it so they could have the best shot at doing their job and bringing G home. The last thing that they needed was a hindrance to their investigation. I encourage you to think of any suspicious cars that may have been in the area watching a few days prior and keep praying for G!

Tecia Stauch ”

Just want to bring this forward so we can easily refer to her words directly.

So if there is a selfie of them in the truck in my mind it had to be taken early in that road trip. So as a poster pointed out she had to have her phone with her.

BBM:

So, the story her cell phone tells about that day is going to be extremely interesting.

Here are the possibilities:

She lied about taking the selfie of her and GS.
That would be remarkably stupid, even for her.

She powered her phone off after she took the selfie...in which case, she's going to have to explain why she turned her phone off prior to leaving with GS.

She left the phone turned on, but stashed it somewhere along the way and picked it back up on her way home.

I'm trying to remember the neighbor's video...does she get back in and out of the truck again at any point after GS is inside?

JMO.

 

[Wishbone]

Didn't she get in the vehicle and then back out again. Could she have taken the selfie and put phone back in the house before leaving?

Bingo and she sure could have taken a selfie and returned the phone to the house because she does get out of the truck again. Maybe we'll find out someday if the phone stayed home or went with her in truck. Waiting to hear.

 

[Lamima]

Wonder if she made him sleep in the garage Sunday night (maybe even Saturday night too). Maybe there is video of him running around through gate in attempt to try and get in back door. The carpet thing...wonder if she said 'that's it, I'm done with you...you are out'. And shoved him in the garage and told him to stay in there. Then Monday she decided to get him really OUT of her life.

Also, the hike on Sunday...do we know GS went in car? Do we know they did go on hike? Maybe she was attempting to get him out of her life that day but just couldn't do it. Or step sister intervened and brought him home. LE really needs to get that step sister in and talking.

 

[sickntired]

I kind of wish what TS is saying is true. If someone else has him, it's the only way I can have hope he's still alive. I know this is unlikely.

I kind of wish LE would come forward and tell the public if TS's new statement is true or not. But I doubt they will either way because I think they're just letting her hang herself.

 

[TwoBlueJays]

The problem is LS allegedly said these things happened.
Allegedly: used to convey that something is claimed to be the case or have taken place, although there is no proof.

Everything at this point is "allegedly" except for the neighbor's video showing someone getting in a truck and someone getting in the back seat, and that GS didn't go to school on Monday. If there was evidence, we'd have an arrest, I'd think. So we can continue to theorize all possibilities, all perpetrators, all scenarios. JMO

 

[Madison418]

A few questions/concerns/theories I have regarding LS statement:

-Garbage would be easy to gather from the home or garage to confirm LS stories of bandages if they can locate the discarded wrappers and paper towels/tissue etc...she used to clean up his wounds. Wonder if LE has their garbage.
-IF LS hypothetically had a tendency to post screenshots all over the place showing how she and AS kept in such close communication about absolutely everything that happened with the kids, even, hypothetically regarding bath salts or hikes or videos of kids getting in trouble for something, and takes selfies of such mundane things to send to AS as them sitting in a truck on the way to go shopping, she most certainly would have sent pics and texts regarding the cut to Gannon’s foot and her oh so lovingly and carefully cleaning him up so he was “good to go.” I wonder where screenshots of those texts and pics might be.
-I wonder if there is video showing LS coming home from whatever shopping trip Saturday resulting in Gannon “helping her unload”, and him getting bandaged up. Surely this would be on camera since she points out AS left the garage in such disarray they couldn’t possibly park the cars in there fully, resulting in the cut on Gannon’s foot.
-Why would Gannon ask permission to leave the house to go play with a friend, but then need some reason to sneak in or out of a gate, as she seems to imply in her statement? Surely a child who asked and was given permission to go outside to play would’ve simply gone out the front door.
-IF LS hypothetically leaked other videos and pics and screenshots trying to build her story, why not the ones exonerating her, such as proof Gannon got out of the truck, or anything showing he was present or alive after 10:15am when the video shows him entering the truck?
-LS says she noticed Gannon ‘kept’ going to the side of the house. How many times could a child walk to the side of the house on Saturday night after helping her unload and cutting his foot? If he was the only one with a gate key, as she stated, he would already know the gate is locked. Makes no sense.
-If LS had hypothetically said previously there were photos of him getting out the other side and this was cleared by law enforcement, why does she then go on to explain how there is technology to determine shadows and movement around the truck? Where is the video showing the other side, Gannon came home from the shopping trip?
-She says LE has a description of the person/friend Gannon left with-but wait, she said before he asked if he could go play, but never said he left with someone. I’m lost.
-What does the side gate or the apparently missing key have to do with anyone or anything, if we are to believe her original version of events, that she was working out, Gannon asked to go outside to play with a friend, and hasn’t been seen since?
-I believe she is now mentioning suspicious cars because of the way the update from LE was worded yesterday and she latched on to that.

Every aspect of this statement, in my personal opinion, is meant to justify or explain away any evidence that has been found, or contradictory statements she has previously made. Keep talking, LS. Keep digging the hole until it’s so deep you will never ever climb out.
MOO

All very good questions. IMHO it's all horse . None of it makes sense at all. She did something to hurt him Sunday night, panicked, came up with a plan to get rid of him and tried to make it look like a runaway/kidnapping. The simplest explanation and all...MOO, JMO

I don't believe she had her phone with her. I just rewatched the video. After Gannon gets in the truck, LS gets in the truck, (perhaps this is when she takes the selfi). Then she gets back out of the truck ( roughly at the 1:58 mark). She walks towards the back of the truck and is now out of view. Perhaps she is putting her phone back in the garage or house at this time?

So little on his injury and lots on the key. If the gate was unlocked and he was abducted, then, I guess it was his fault. But then, she fast forwards to Sunday. And, fast forwards again. No details on the important parts of the timeline.

 

[gitana1]

The only problem I have with her story with this is that there are houses surrounding the S house. The only route GS could’ve take from the gate is to the front street. I’m assuming the gate leads out along the side where the neighbors house is located that has surveillance that was released as the other side of the house has another house that is almost connect to her house as they share a driveway. So, I would think the neighbors surveillance would have captured GS walking to the street. JMO

Or a mysterious car coming to pick him up.

 

[Rosiebones]

Gate closest to the garage.

That is just like my gate but has a latch lock that does not require a key. I think her gate key story/explanation is an after the fact account to fill in the gaps as her original story falls apart.

 

[SuziQ]

She really is quite helpful to us.

She really is. And we might see CSI back at the house because of the latest info.

 

[Blue Ridge]

I think there's a real possibility she didn't harm him or directly cause his disappearance at all, but is very narcissistic and trying to cover for something else that could embarrass her or expose her to criminal liability - something like an affair or drug use.

I might have at least considered it....
Until she brought up blood....
Sigh.

MOO

She gets in the truck after Gannon gets in back seat but then gets out again and heads toward the house. And then comes back and gets in the truck yet again,.

Hoping where ever she went on Monday, twice, has clear camera footage, hypothetically showing where said phone was hypothetically stashed, which aisle & under what items...hypothetically speaking. MOO

 

[AgeofAquaruis]

So it is Albert's fault, indirectly, because he left some woodworking tools laying around.

• Circular Saw. If there's one power-activated saw belonging in every beginner's box, it's a circular saw. ...
• Jigsaw. Every beginning woodworker should invest in a decent jigsaw. ...
• Compound Miter Saw. ...
• Table Saw. ...
• Hammer. ...
• Mallet. ...
• Power Drill. ...
• Screw Gun.

I wonder what kind of woodworking tool Gannon cut his foot on? Was there a bloody hammer or jigsaw laying around in the garage?

I don't think it was his foot. I think it was his stomach,or abdomen.
MOO

 

[gitana1]

She mentions staying at a hotel in her statement so I guess that answers the question of where she has been...

Playing devil's advocate... Most of the things in her statement can be verified easily (GS had the only key to the gate, info she gave LEO, etc.). So... supposing it's true (I doubt it, but work with me), is it possible LE is looking into someone else?

It’s not easily verifiable that Gannon has the only key. Unless it was true.

But I can’t suppose her narrative is true. There’s a reason her husband booted her. There’s a reason CSI was at the house and removed bags of evidence. There’s a reason LE followed her and her daughter, and seized the keys and the car. There’s a reason that per her own words LE interrogated her for hours such that she felt she needed an attorney. There’s a reason that LE stated, in response to a question as to whether SM was being uncooperative that they had exhausted all leads. There’s a reason she feels the need to explain away blood evidence.

And none of those reasons involve LE looking into someone else at this stage. IMO.

It only leads to more questions though. So you took a selfie.... so you had your phone with you in the truck. But the pings do not indicate you driving around. Oh - I left my phone at home and turned it off. Why? Her response just yields to more questions. Dear TS - don't equate LE quietness with stupidity.

 

[katydid23]

Sent there by you know who...

 

[SuziQ]

Sometimes when someone kills someone elsewhere, they pull over and move the body to the truck bed. Sometimes when they get home they get blood from their clothes or whatever, on things inside their home.

ITA. The tailgate or trunk area is a common area to find blood or the scent of decomp. You and I have witnessed dogs hitting on these areas.
