Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 **ARREST** #29

[Knox]

I’ve never been able to figure out why she posted that video, it really made her appear all the more guilty than all of her other ridiculous stories, posts, etc.

Is she so completely unaware and socially inept that she thought somehow this would prove something in her favor? Or was it because people were sure he was dead by Sunday and she wanted to show he was alive?

I mean...she’s an idiot but even this seems a stretch for her, to think it could benefit her at all.

Agreed, unbelievable. The only thing I can come up with is TS was so caught up in creating an alibi that she felt it legitimized the removal of the carpet. That was going to be a big problem to explain away. As it turned out, IMO she directly pointed LE to look for evidence.

 

[JaePim]

It was manipulation and emotional torture. He also said he was bleeding. She was browbeating him while he was crying and injured. IMO

Yes, it was flat-out sadistic. Heart wrenching.

Yes, I think she thought her calmness in the video would make her sound level-headed and more like she was just going to work out a fix to the carpet problem. She thought she would garner praise for her handling of the situation. She didn’t realize how sadistic it was. I think she is unaware of what normal really is. She is delusional.

The YingYingZhang case was a no body case.
It was Federal DEATH PENALTY case. Lots at stake and his defense dragged it out for two full years.

Brendt Christensen defense team's motion to exclude cadaver dog evidence denied

You can find the long form of the ruling on a search.

Cadaver dogs have different training and skills. Google is your friend.

Thanks for the info, again I wasn’t trying to be argumentative. FWIW, I did google and it came up with the dogs hitting was corroborated by blood evidence. Now, I admittedly didn’t sleuth for hours on this, and appreciate your insight—but a bit of understanding goes a long way to those of us who haven’t been attached to every case. Cheers.

I feel I must apologize for putting LS on a flight out of Myrtle Beach on ConAir yesterday because she has yet to arrive at her destination of ElPaso County Jail. Instead, it looks like UberCon was used and detectives are driving her back.

This could be an interesting drive for 2-3 detectives, considering they are riding with someone who just can't help from talking about her innocents.

Moo,Moo

With any luck they tied her to the tow bar after rolling her in tar and feathers

 

[lonetraveler]

Probably to give to landen and family . Chances are he’s moving all of his kids things I don’t think they ever want to go back there

I've heard that LH will keep and preserve Gannon's things. This is so sad.

 

[Wowno17]

A few things of note:

1. Landon and stepmother were bbfs supposedly when TS started an affair with AS. Shows the depth of her evil.

2. TS most likely hid her cellphone inside a Petco 30 mins from home on day Gannon went missing. She entered Petco twice, once at 10 am and once at 1 pm. We know she bought 3 dog coats (no word on size) one time and are unsure what she bought the second time, but she did check out with receipt. She owns 2 small dogs. Someone suggested that kitty litter hides the smell of decomp. No confirmation however on 2nd purchase.

If Petco was just being used as an alibi, she wouldn’t have gone in same store twice. Major red flag. Clerk says TS was alone in store and that she kept looking out store front window nervously. Gannon was probably in the truck at that time. If she shut her cell phone off or “forgot” her cell at home that would raise major red flags, so that wasn’t an option. And if she brought it with her to murder site cops would have the body by now. Cops still don’t know where the body is so clearly the intel they got from her Verizon cell does NOT show where she took Gannon. She told police she went to a sporting goods store for a bike and hockey equipment. Had to hurry to get those items and drag poor sick, probably poisoned Gannon along. VERY odd and of course a lie. Searchers on horseback searched an area around the Petco she went in twice that day.

3. Aunt of Landon said that TS used to call Gannon “ugly, stupid and retarded.” Sounds evil, threatened, jealous, like she hated him and taking care of him. And like I’ve said in other posts... a very good actress. From all accounts this boy was very handsome, sweet, and a really good boy with a kind heart. How evil can one little round ball of lard with the face n eyes of a devil be?

BBM

Sorry what?! Can you link that please. That's just awful and seems there were red flags. Not saying the family should have predicted this, how could they when they aren't evil monsters themselves but my god this woman is evil to the core.

Her absolute jealousy of Gannon is clear if she made these statements.

MOO

 

[lucidtx]

This lady couldn’t pick a triangle out of a shape lineup.

Omg thanks for all of the chuckles. Needed respite while following such a disturbing case.

I should've called her an "alleged educator." At this point there's more evidence she's a child killer than a legitimate teacher.

 

[Fireflize]

She thought she would garner praise for her handling of the situation. She didn’t realize how sadistic it was. I think she is unaware of what normal really is. She is delusional.

I agree, she has no earthly idea how others see her.

Thanks for the clarification. But there is a blogger online who has posted interview with the Petco worker and it sounds pretty legit to me. She said police came there and even told her her stories were not adding up. I believe her.

I saw the initial comments from that employee. Then I week later I saw very similar comments from a poster with a male screen name. Both claimed to have helped her on her first visit.

No "official" searches scheduled. I don't know about y'all, but this ole boy can easily speculate that there may be some "unofficial" searching going on.

 

[lonetraveler]

I would think the extradition process can be long, including arranging flights. I’m assuming more goes into the flights than booking on Priceline. Security of the airport and flight must be arranged by LE and the airport, which I would assume falls under the federal side. I just think it’s a long tedious process.

I've flown before on regular commercial flight and saw a handcuffed person with what looked like detectives escorting them.

 

[JTR1973]

I have only skimmed today's activity here but I see she has not arrived yet - and Gannon has not been found (and they are not searching). I've followed many cases here on WS and other forums - a word of caution if I may - the Arrest Warrant can be terribly awful to read and once you see it - you may not "unsee" it - if you have deep feelings about this little boy - you may want to consider skipping over it. I speak from experience - I made the mistake of reading Randall Pruitt's arrest warrant - I should not have and did not heed the warnings of my fellow sleuthers. Never again.. It has stayed with me - I do not want to know how our boy suffered at her hands so I will skip over that but will post to the media thread of course.

Where is Gannon? sigh...

I am very worried about this myself. I want to follow the process and trial if there is one but I don’t know how to avoid information I won’t be able to handle. There is one FB group I am part of that is very supportive of Landen and the family and are very serious about keeping the family protected so I may just have to get my info from there.

Thanks for the clarification on the friendship. But regarding Petco there is a blogger online who has posted interview with the Petco worker and it sounds pretty legit to me. She said police came there and even told her her stories were not adding up. She was very specific in her details. I believe her. And according to TS’s timeline of that day there was no mention of Petco. Also, legit new sources stated that “riders on horseback searched area near the Petco TS visited that day.”

Unless the blogger-on-line is an accepted source for this site we cannot discuss it or consider it.
Horses riding in the vicinity of Petco is also a stretch, As is the alleged telephone she might have left there when there is zero MSM to back this up.

 

[MamaOV]

"I respect your opinion" or something similar, I honestly dont think there is any way to explain it to someone who isnt inclined to sleuth,my husband doesn't get it at all and finds it quite annoying but each to their own and all that, I dont understand how he watches golf all day on TV but you know,live and let live etc.
Dont be made to feel like your way is wrong,we here at WS advocate for victims in our own way and I feel we make a difference here,even if it's just to each other

LOL, funny you mentioned your husband, I almost posted about mine earlier too (when posting that other stuff). I remember when I first told him about finding this site a couple weeks ago and that there were other people out there like me, then a few days later someone else posted about finding people "just like me" here and when I told him that, he jokingly said, "Weirdos??" He's never understood my 'sleuth side' or seen it as a positive (except of course when he wants me to look someone up, like one of his ex-wives, or track someone down--but even then he'll throw me under the bus when telling people I did that, and not give them the whole story, which is that HE asked me to do it!), and I think he always thought it was just me!

1. Landon and stepmother were bbfs supposedly when TS started an affair with AS. Shows the depth of her evil.

SBM for focus.

You have no argument from that the woman is a horrible, disgusting evil person since she killed this boy. No argument at all.

But, she couldn't have had an affair if he didn't want to and visa versa. They are both responsible for this action. Many marriages fall apart and people cheat on their spouse.

In his public statements, it is easy to see the love he had for her and the deepest sense of betrayal he has about her actions and disregard for him and his family.

JMHO

 

[Wolfmack9]

Hey, Watchman! Good to see you around!

The car was rented on Tuesday morning at least a couple of hours before AS's flight landed.
The rental vehicle was then returned on Wednesday afternoon.
LE did not have her vehicle during that period of time.
TS stated she left hers at the airport during the time she had the rental.

And, get this:

Her purported reason for renting the car?
So that she and AS could drive around and look for GS without "risking" him recognizing one of their vehicles.

Because, you know. He had "run away from home."

So, of course they needed to drive around in clandestine fashion looking for him.
Makes sense, right?

A lot of us are speculating that TS invented that absurd excuse to rent a vehicle so that she could go back and ensure that GS's body was better concealed.

Also, since she selected the "unlimited mileage" rental option, there was not going to be an indication on the bill of how many miles she had racked up.

I'm also openly speculating that she wanted her own vehicle out of eyesight of both LE and AS during that Tues-Wed timeframe. I think she may have been worried that there was some evidence she needed to clean out and did so on her way back from dropping off the rental car on Wednesday afternoon.

JMO.

Thank you for this fantastic summary! This thread has been going so fast it is hard to keep up with everything!

 

[stattlich1]

MOO, all speculation, LE asked 't' to show 'em everywhere she went in the past week or two.....probably won't be back til tomorrow afternoon.

As per the carpet video, and why she posted it, I have two theories,

1. She is so detached she had no clue how it would be perceived by the average person
2. It was accidental, I don't think she's as technosavvy as some may think she is. She may very well have wanted to post one item, and this video was posted instead of, or along with it. The reason I say this is, she had done the same before, when editing her fb photo, she attached a couple other vids and most likely didn't even know it.

Responding to a previous Tweet regarding naming a street after Gannon.

Just spoke with El Paso County Commissioner Longinos Gonzalez. Lorson Ranch is his district. He says he is on board with this idea and will be reaching out to his planning department and community to try and have a street named after Gannon. #GANNONSTRONG @FOX21News #gannon

Re: the carpet removal...this is not a post to ask you to defend yourself but I have yet to see anything that confirmed anything about this? Only SM posts. Was carpet actually removed and when? By her or professionals? I kept seeing it discussed but never “from the horse’s mouth” so to speak.

ETA: same for Petco...
