How in da world did Landon didn't know what's going? The abuse had to have been ongoing, surely there had to be signs. I'm not blaming Landon just asking a question

Really?

It is official. I hate this woman. I can't remember the last time I used hate to describe feelings toward a person.
I am filled with rage.

My absolute worst fears have now been confirmed. He didn’t just fall asleep and not wake up. This wasn’t just internal. This wasn’t just intentional overdose. This is everything I never wanted to imagine.

You at least have to take a test to get a drivers license. Not even that to be a parent. This case reminded me of that old adage.

Did LE have the (legal) ability to eavesdrop on her phone calls, read her email, FB messages etc.? She may have been stupid enough to reveal the information using those methods.

If they had gotten warrants to tap the phone, yes.

Thank you to everyone contributing to the updates.

Even though I wasn't in a hurry for her to be arrested and get a free attorney, I was very happy to see **ARREST** when I logged on this morning. But as I was skimming for updates and saw it changed to Deceased/Not Found, it really was heartbreaking. I have assumed from the beginning he was not alive, but seeing it as the headline really struck me.

I haven't watched the press conference yet. I'm going to wait until this evening when I have some quiet time. I just wanted to say thank you so much for posting the details and thoughts for those of us who aren't able to follow everything this morning.

They have ABSOLUTE ability to procure her entire social media pm's, posts, every group comment, every word she uttered even words she issued prior to her alleged murder . They have the right to use them in evidence against her whether they directly refer to Gannon's death or not, if they are indicative of her nature and personality. They can and they WILL. she's screwed.
now let's please put heads together and honor his parents and try our hardest to
#FindGannon

She might have thought that deleting her FB account would make it go away.

Serious question here. I’m having trouble reconciling in my mind the first two charges. First degree murder means it was planned/premeditated to kill Gannon.
Child abuse resulting in death means to me that death was a result of the abuse.

Is this telling us that when she set out to abuse him that day, her end goal was death? If the death was an accidental result of abuse that went too far, then how does first degree fit in?

1st degree is intentional killing. She planned out his murder and what to do with him. It is possible she kept a journal or a blog. It could be as simple as her claiming that she wanted him dead. Yes, child abuse resulting in death means that he died because she abused him. LS intended to kill Gannon for whatever reason.

Really?

meant the father not mother but question still stands though

Have they found his body?

Crime Scene
Within days of Gannon’s disappearance, an El Paso County Crime Scene team arrived at his home to collect evidence. They returned several times and were spotted removing items from the residence and carrying items inside.

Stauch said she didn’t understand how authorities could call the home a crime scene after they saw Gannon leaving with her on January 27.

“How the hell is the house a crime scene if he left and didn’t come back with me supposedly? They are saying there is a crime scene with all this blood in the house, which they let people live in during the supposed crime scene for 7 plus days….but then a video shows him leaving with me walking.”

Stauch was referring to security footage captured by a neighbor, which reportedly showed her leaving at around 10:18 a.m. on January 27 with Gannon, and returning home a little after 2 p.m. without him.

Stauch claimed her husband told her about blood found in the home. She denied hurting Gannon and claimed that he would get repetitive nosebleeds that required frequent cleanups.

Stauch said Gannon also cut his foot in the garage a few days before he vanished.

“There are tools, wood, and woodworking in the garage, jointers and saws. If there was blood in the garage, it was from doing activities,” Stauch said.

Al Stauch allegedly called his wife and asked her why a “saucer-sized puddle of blood” was found inside Gannon’s room, according to what Tecia Stauch told CrimeOnline.

“He was taken around and shown different places of blood inside the house. There was some in the garage. But there are accidents all the time, nose bleeds. Gannon walked around sometimes with blood on his arm from nose bleeds.”

Bloody Board and Sock
Stauch added that her husband told her that Gannon’s sock and a bloody 2×4 board were found in the woods near Douglas County.

Stauch explained that her family frequently loaded up boards they didn’t need from their garage into the pickup truck, leftovers from her husband’s woodworking hobby. She claimed that there had been several accidents in the garage, which could have easily accounted for a bloodied board.

When asked how the board would have ended up in the woods, Stauch said that things have flown out of the back of the truck before while she was driving. She said the same thing could have happened to the board or Gannon’s sock.

When questioned whether law enforcement specifically told her about the wood or a sock, Stauch said, “LE [law enforcement] have not said one word to me, have not called me.”

This story should be used as example of FOS in the dictionary

 

[Yellow Rose]

Just because my heart is evil I'm praying she didn't get a chance to put her make-up on first.

Your heart is no more evil than mine is.

 

[Rprp1021]

I really think we all need to take a deep breath and re focus on what we are here for. JMO

 

[JTR1973]

I wanted to do the same (leave early) but was afraid to.

Fortunately I have a very relaxed workplace and my boss wasn't even there today. I am able to work at home tomorrow and another day this week as well.
I knew I'd be a wreck when things started to happen and just planned to very honestly say that someone I cared very much about died.

We see him walking to the truck. I think she lost it on him the night before, freaked out realizing she hurt him, drove him somewhere, ended his life and left him somewhere. Will see what part 3 says. thanks for sharing the link above.

 

[Bravo]

OMG

 

[jbennett]

My heart hurts right now, folks.
Be kind to one another tonight.
Go home and hold your babies.

 

[athenna]

Forgive me, I’ve only been following this case loosely. What kind of evidence could they have that would result in those charges, without finding a body?

Does this mean they’re thinking a body won’t be found? Because if finding it was imminent wouldn’t they have waited to file charges?

Or are they thinking she’ll reveal the location in custody?

I’m so sad for this poor boy and his family.

OMGosh reading her explanations is like Tammy Moorer all over again! She had to explain why a board with his blood was found in the woods...that tells you right there she's involved. Only she would think that needed to be explained because it all leads back to the perp - HER!

I seriously can't get over the irony that this woman was arrested in Horry County and is in JRL. Crazy for sure!
