Speaks of Gannon in past tense. All concern is for herself and her daughter. I don’t like this horrible feeling
Speaks of Gannon in past tense. All concern is for herself and her daughter. I don’t like this horrible feeling
The Heavy article described his absence as due to sickness or a doctor's appointment which suggests there are 2 versions doing the media rounds.If he was supposedly sick enough to be home from school and needing a doctor's appointment, how does that fit with him being allowed to go and play at a friend's house? Wouldn't the friend have been at school? Wouldn't GS have been too sick to go play with a friend if he was home from school?
The stepmom's story just doesn't add up.
GS not being at school that day makes me very worried. All too often excuses are made in order to hide the true timeline, especially in abuse deaths involving children.
When was the last time a non family member saw this poor child alive?
At 02:39, SM says: "I've taken care of Gannon for the last two years, in our home, because his mother didn't want to do it."

I don't believe that for one minute, SM. There's more to the "story" than what she is saying.
"He did not go to school on Monday, according to social media posts from family members, possibly because he was sick or had a doctor’s appointment, and his stepmom said he had gone to a friend’s house 'down the road'.”
Gannon Stauch Missing: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com
Heavy.com's stated source is social media posts, which are not allowed. "Possibly had a doctor's appointment," so still speculation.I get how everyone feels, and I saw the same video you did. It's just that I, for me, want to be very careful what I write about someone with no backing in facts given by LE. Because words have consequences, and the internet is forever.

I.... wow. That interview.
Earlier the one thing from the parents presser that really stuck with me was mom saying something about both mom and dad being up there together. Seems that maybe Gannon (naturally) wanted his parents reunited.
I wonder if that wasn't the cause of conflict at times between bio and step mom (and maybe even dad). Maybe the reason for the bitterness we hear in this interview from step mom. Of course she should put that aside now but ... didn't.
Eta: pdf from source:SM ( in video) said they hiked at "Garden in the gods", would this be it? Garden of the Gods Park
I'm pretty sure that's a bit of a work-around regarding social media being referenced in MSM reporting.. I'll flag my post and ask a moderator.Social media posts are allowed if they are quoted in permitted MSM which I believe Heavy.com is.
At the moment the concern is for the child's rights.You do NOT have to be charged before you can hire an attorney to advise you. Public defender later if unable to afford to hire one if you've been charged (and she has not been, nor named as a POI).
It is a common occurence to have an attorney's help when overwhelmed by a situation of any type, which this woman obviously is.
Her rights do not disappear because people want to drag her. I'd say that it's in just such situations that one's rights need to be protected most, or we would become an actual mob instead of just an online one.

Yes, starting around 6:29. And SM says to her "No, just answer the question yes, you came home from work and you can verify Gannon was at home." The daughter comes on camera and says:When she goes to get her 17 year old daughter (off camera) to verify to the reporter that Gannon was home after the hike, stepmom must’ve forgot her mic was on? Her daughter asks her what she’s supposed to say?

She told her daughter how to answer about seeing Gannon on Sunday...(around 7.00 mark)

This case is a weird one for sure. I haven’t read through all the posts, but I watched that interview & am withholding judgement. IMO, I’m wondering if she argued with the boy and he stomped out the door, or she made some sort of poor judgement decision that could have contributed to a negative outcome (“fine, just leave!) It would explain the father being mad.
My gut is that she did not hurt him, but she’s holding details back because she doesn’t want to look worse. I’m afraid this is going to be an abduction off the side of the road or an injury he befell after leaving the house. All my opinion.
What I got from that was that daughter wasn't expecting to be put into the interview -- "what do you want me to say?" just sounds exactly to me like a put-upon teenager, not one colluding with mom on a story.

The doctor's appointment was definitely mentioned.No doctor's appointment has ever been stated. It came up way back in speculation and has taken on a life of its own.
