Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 #28 **ARREST**

[Kyte]

I have read "neighbors" said AS arrived around midday. But I've also read he flew into Denver not CS. Do we know for sure what his arrival time was and which airport he flew to?

The rental receipt shows the car was rented from CS
So it seems reasonable to believe that's where he flew in from.

Oh dear
Not looking good is it!
Can't remember what it was I watching but some kind of true crime doc where they did search a landfull
They obviously had good info on where and when the rubbish was dumped to search through it though.
They did mentioned how much the compacted rubbish expanded
All they found was one bone of whomever it was they were searching for
Sorry, wish I could be more precise on what and who this was
You never know there might be something on one of the families computers alluding to what she did with the body?

The body at this stage will not be in a state to tell a story.
It would have brought his mother great comfort, some closure and possibly a level of catharsis. I wanted that for her but realistically, too much time has passed now.

I suppose we do not; I just went with the most recent 'what we think we know'.

Read it on here. Someone posted that “AS asked for a divorce on Jan 12 and LS cleaned out the bank account and took him off her FB and then Gannon went missing on the 27th.” Apparently his family posted about it on FB.

Well THAT'S a rookie mistake. Never put your cards on the table before you have your house in order.

It hurts whenever I see someone casually advocate for the use of cruel, degrading and inhumane treatment within the justice system. We are readers who have come from all over the world, including places that don't have justice in their legal practices. TS would be no more likely to tell the truth with the illegal use of torture than she would if given a media interview. She simply cannot speak the truth...

The use of torture seldom produces a complete truth, I agree, but a GOOD interrogator knows how to get someone to talk without violence, especially with TS' "diarrhea of the mouth".

But Gannon can and will. I pray that he will be found soon.

I disagree. But respect your opinion and apologize. Degrading and inhumane. I haven't seen a reason for her to be treated any differently. Think if we change the system a little, we could make a difference for the next person who thinks they can harm a child. In regards to her no more likely to produce the truth, I again disagree.

Maybe. It wouldn't make sense though (to the extent renting ever made sense) to drive 100 miles to Denver to rent a car. So it could have been rented at CS (9 miles away or so) and driven to Denver.

I believe nothin has really been confirmed about the board other than TS interview regarding it. I assume it is a board from AS woodworking? But who knows really....she has come out with so many stories at this point.

Sorry no time to search for links or photos...
IMO...
There are photos/ video of. 3-4 short wooden boards on the garage floor during a search of the home.
Not sure which search day as they went back numerous times.

Also during press conference announcing arrest of TS, Channel 31 Denver(?) around 3:00 minute mark ...
A police person is shown specifically taking photo of garage wall and the garage floor which appears to be same area.

Really? I was just looking at the receipt, and the pickup and drop off location are redacted. I’m not sure if it is allowed to be posted here, but if you have that receipt info, and it’s allowed to be posted, it would be of great help to add to the timeline!

She said something about it in the interview with Leigh Egan. LE has never said anything about it. But there have been numerous clues to the case that she has given us with her ramblings

I agree. Her interviews hold many clues. Just sifting thru the lies and contradictions is the key. She mentioned the boards in that interview to start her own narrative of events.

Initial receipt shown had CS pickup. That was later redacted. Drop off was always redacted.

Ah, but bodies still do tell tales of their death, even long after they die. There is a good book on this matter by a Forensic Ecologist-The Nature of Life and Death: Every Body Leaves a Trace. Gannon will have a story to tell unless he is not found. I believe he will be found.

This is not directed at any specific person, but this case is bad enough without all the rumors.

I had my husband (i don't facebook) download the "candle video" directly from LS facebook page right after it was posted. The video that was posted on her facebook that we downloaded directly from facebook does not have the "I'm bleeding" part in it.

Maybe there are two videos, or maybe she got hacked and the "im bleeding" video is a 2nd one that has gotten out, i don't know. but i am pretty sure that video is edited and the "im bleeding" part was added by an attention hungry youtuber.

Justice for Gannon.

Regarding those...
I can only say........never rely on those kind of websites for legit information. They are always wrong in one way or another. Always. The site even admits it is a 3rd party service and things may not be valid.

My own personal background check on Intelius (similar concept to that site) had so much wrong information (not criminal lol), I had to spend a long time to get EVERYTHING removed. I no longer exist on Intelius or any other site like it. In fact, if TS had access to the web - she could actually go onto that site and have everything removed. They all have 'opt out' options.

The only way to know the truth on criminal records is to get it straight from a courthouse. I never believe any of those sites - even if something accurate pops up.

I hear you, I had a similar experience recently when googling myself in case of a potential future job hunt. Had to contact mylife.com and ask them to fix incorrect info like Teapot party affiliation (!?!!?) and since they couldn’t, they had to just remove the entire profile. But I think, as with TS’s ramblings, there’s still enough of a grain of truth in some of that info to make it somewhat useful/provide some small pieces of the puzzle.

It was already posted, analysed and discussed to death

I would like to see this video, the exact one your husband downloaded, if possible.

I agree with the rumors, anything from an unverified source makes things confusing and takes the focus away from the important true facts and clues.

is it possible for you to post your video from TS’ FB her and in the media links section, so we have the original version? Not sure if that has been posted yet. But it would be helpful.

 

[Lambseatoats]

what they usually do is to section off an area of it.
A search of it may not be public information.
Also remember the distance she allegedly traveled that day, that is two towns and the length of time it possibly took them to obtain information from her journey, bearing in mind she allegedly carried no phone and we do not know whether her alleged apple watch was even worn or functioning that day. It was information she gave to a journalist. Not necessarily factually correct.
Could be more than one landfill.
Costs of excavating landfills are extraordinarily cost prohibitive and time consuming, rubbish is compacted and the chances of finding an intact body are zero

I agree with your points kittythehare in this post and #745. I wanted to add that I think usually a body must be disposed of into a dumpster or some other trash for pick up to end up in a landfill. We know it is possible to drive to a dump/landfill and dispose of trash in which a body could be hidden, but I'm pretty sure that LE probably knows that TS didn't drive to a landfill. Even if she placed Gannon in some kind of duffle bag, etc. I can't see her taking so bold a step as approaching a dumpster and lifting a heavy load into it and it certainly isn't an option without him being contained somehow. I guess she could have retrieved the body from some hidden spot with the rental car and driven it way off to some out of town dumpster and if that is the case, it is unlikely he will be found for all the reasons you mentioned - could be more than one landfill, etc.
I think LE has been searching more for evidence, as well. JMO

To be fair to the SC school districts where she taught, she didn't say she'd earned a doctorate until well after she stopped teaching there in 2016. (Claims she earned it in 2019) And they do require fingerprints and a background check in SC for teachers. Does make you think though how many "licensed professionals" don't have pristine records.
Edited to add: JMO

Despite Letecia Stauch’s personal information on her social media profiles saying she’s employed as a “curriculum developer” at School District 49, she does not and has never worked for the Peyton-based district, said spokesman David Nancarrow.

“Whatever she’s posted is not correct,” Nancarrow said of Letecia Stauch. “We have no motivations for what that is.”

Authorities declined to say how they connected Letecia Stauch to the boy's apparent death, and her arrest affidavit is under seal. Read more here.

Stauch received a Colorado license to teach elementary school, special education and secondary social studies in March 2019, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

She accused Gannon’s mom, Landon Hiott, of contributing to what she called “harassment and retaliation” when she worked for seven days as a middle school social studies teachers in Marion County School District in South Carolina.

The South Carolina Board of Education suspended her educator certification to teach in May 2016 for six months for “breach of contract in abandoning her teaching duties” with the district.

Stauch had signed an annual contract with the Marion County School District on June 24, 2015, and had also signed a contract to teach in Charleston, S.C. for the same time period, according to court documents.

Stauch indicated she left because she experienced “harassment and retaliation at requesting to be released from her contract due to a pending military move,” which she said was denied.

Stauch alleged that the harassment and retaliation were due to the district’s superintendent’s niece being her husband’s ex-wife, Hiott.

She threatened to file an equal-opportunity complaint unless she was released from her contract.

“The harassment and retaliation claim was investigated and remains unsubstantiated,” the order of suspension concluded.

Stauch’s certification was suspended for six months in South Carolina. There is no evidence it was reinstated.Personal information promoted by Letecia Stauch, arrested in death of stepson, refuted by local school district
