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

[FNG]

Not that I really want to watch it again, but I've seen two versions of this video and I never saw what you describe.
In both that I watched, she moves from a living/rec room area where the tv is on, quickly through the kitchen area, and then the screen goes black until the very end where the camera is right side up, and it shows an empty bed, with bedding that looks very similar to the bedding it showed at the beginning, with what appears to be little sister.
So I'm curious how many versions of this video exist?

Right before the video goes dark, you can see a clip of Gannon. Right after the kitchen scene. It's still dark and hard to see but he's there. I can't see any detail other than that.

"Meanwhile, Gannon’s father, Al, moved out his son’s belongings from their home in Lorson Ranch neighborhood, where there is a growing memorial in Gannon’s honor."

I hope we can all safely assume LE is aware of the video and has a copy in their possession... of both versions (with and without the “I’m bleeding” part. I know many people believe that part was added/edited in later, but others have said it may have been the original video, which was then edited to exclude/crop out that part).

Not only this but also if us amateurs can make out what we can on a non-enhanced version of this video I guarantee they have solid proof with their enhanced versions, which could explain how they can confidently charge her with murder due to child abuse.

I don’t see why. If she needed an evaluation I would expect that to be done in Colorado. SC was merely holding her until Colorado took custody of her.

And I believe a judge would order that at an early hearing if she tries to go for a not guilty for reason of insanity plea.

A bit surprised to read in this article that AS removed Gannon's belongings from the house so soon.

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

 

[FNG]

hair and make-up stops, most likely.

I heard they had to make a 1-2 hour detour in the opposite direction to shop for a new bike for one of the officers.

As to negotiation, I followed at least one case where the perp offered to reveal the location of a body in return for a lighter sentence. The victim's family REFUSED the offer. I can easily imagine that going the same way here.

I m sorry @Ontario Mom . I have no idea why that post did not separate our 2 posts, I edited it to bring my text lower, it still shows as a single post.

I think the confusion over the screaming


This is me & the difficulty I have as well @JTR1973 . The only difference is that I, unfortunately, did watch/listen to the video. Although it gave me some insight into what possibly happened & the dynamics of this family, it is haunting so do yourself a favor and don't watch it. Once I heard it I can't get the cries of Gannon out of my head and then I go to what he must have thought & had to endure. Although my mind has wandered into what he must have thought or known when he got into the truck that morning, I try to immediately think of something else. It's unbearable.

My DH & kids have seen me cry many times over the past month. DH asks me why I keep reading, researching, and being involved if it upsets me so much. Ever since I saw the first pic of Gannon and heard he was missing, I felt a connection as I'm sure many of you did. Now I feel owe it to this sweet, amazing little boy to stay invested & see this through to him being found and getting justice. My mind just can't even fathom the evil & absence of a soul that a person would have to have to do something like this to anyone, let alone a child! I trust that Gannon's goodness will ultimately prevail over her evil, guiding LE to find him and lock that monster away forever. It guts me that he had to endure this and that his goodness couldn't save him from her during his life.

I'll never forget Gannon, those pics that first drew me in, and the stories of his personality & spirit that have made us all fall in love with him! I will not loose hope that he will be found! However I do have to remind myself to take a break when it all gets too much, a luxury that sadly Gannon was not given.

I also watched that video when it was first released, still upsets me terribly. From that moment my gut told me that she had already decided that she would murder that child. Breaks my heart. Hope the jury sees it.

This is absolutely true. Child abuse is one of the toughest types of cases to prove and the rate of convictions in CO is very low, about 9% as quoted to me by a Family Law attorney.

My assumption is computer forensics from her devices combined with the video confession and measurable blood that IDs as Gannon's is certainly on the evidence list. The other area they searched on 105 is very industrial, with another dump.

After I watched the initial interview with Spencer, I wondered if she was involved in illegal drugs because her speech patterns, tones, inflections seemed erratic to me and I've witnessed that style of speaking on people under the influence, which led me to wonder if she owed a cartel as there is a lot of gang activity in CS and/or was hiding a relationship.

Just saw this clue:

Chanesse Jones on Twitter

Hey everyone! Was taking a break from WS because I was a little consumed. Anyway, this may have been asked and answered, but I’m curious as to how the charge of child abuse which resulted in death can hold water without either of the following: 1. A body 2. A witness or 3. Surveillance?

Admittedly, I am not familiar with what evidence constitutes this charge, and it could be just that she murdered him in general and that constitutes abuse?

However, in my mind, given the charges, I feel like there has to be some damning evidence. I know we’ve seen cases where a conviction is made without a body (Ie PF), but in that case, was there not an enormous amount of blood evidence found? Again not super familiar with the specifics of that case.

MOO

And I believe a judge would order that at an early hearing if she tries to go for a not guilty for reason of insanity plea.

And that’s the great thing here. An insanity defense would be laughable because of her actions.

The lies and coverup demonstrate consciousness of guilt. She knew what she was doing, and she knew what she was doing was wrong.

 

[AgeofAquaruis]

I don’t see why. If she needed an evaluation I would expect that to be done in Colorado. SC was merely holding her until Colorado took custody of her.

I bet Colorado does one,just to cover all the bases. Dot their IIIIIII and cross their TTTTTTTTT. MOO

I'm way late to this conversation, but regarding cognitive dissonance, I want to share my experience.

I experienced this well into my 40s in my relationship with my mother. My husband could not understand how I was unable to trust my own childhood memories or my own thoughts and feelings in regards to interactions with my mother. Truly, it was only until I completely cut ties with her a few years ago that I have been able to reflect and see things clearly, including myself.

One's first sense of self comes from one's mother. And her perception is 100% trusted. A child is unable to think his / her mother is wrong because then the child's security is threatened. It is easier to believe your mother is right about you and think of yourself as she does, than to believe she is wrong.

With embarrassment and knowing how pathetic it sounds, I share with others what I call my "Pinocchio Moment," which happened just a few years ago. It was the amazing thought, "I'm a real girl!" not just a puppet made to serve another's purpose. I realized I was "real" and worth something - worthy of dignity and respect - allowed to have my own thoughts, opinions, feelings! It was an epiphany that was incredibly liberating and heartbreaking at the same time.

I see my mother, a little bit, in T. I was never in a situation just like this with her, thank God! But did I ever lie for her? Yes! Did I defend her when friends saw through her? Yep. Did I keep secrets for her? Sure did! Did I hide the reality of my life? You bet.

My fear of my mother, combined with a desperation for her love, might have led me to do anything she asked at 17. This is why I have nothing but compassion for T's bio-daughter. The damage done to a child raised by this sort of person is real. We think right vs. wrong is easy to decide. But when you are constantly taught that you are wrong... in fact you are a wrong... well, it's just not that simple to see beyond. There's no way to adequately explain it if you haven't lived it and through it to see clearly from the other side.

Now, this is not to say that I wouldn't hold her daughter to a higher standard with a few more years under her belt and out from under the influence of her mother. But at this point in time I pity her and hope she is shown compassion for any role she played. If anything, she needs help and healing.

Sorry, that was a looooong post. I hope I conveyed what I wanted to! This is something I talk about often in real life. I have lots to say about it.

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

They were renting the house since Letecia allegedly got them kicked off base. Maybe he is moving back on base, more affordable and a change of scenery.

 

[LovesPeace2]

If it were me god forbid I would remove his items. I would want his things close to me because that is all that I would have of him. Those items are treasures.

Yep my cousins son died in a accident she has his favourite sweater in a bag because it smells like him. Landen and al are going to want all of it

 

[jbennett]

Not that I really want to watch it again, but I've seen two versions of this video and I never saw what you describe.

In both that I watched, she moves from a bedroom area with what appears to be his little sister in a bed laying on her side (sucking her thumb, it appears), then through the living/rec room area where the tv is on, quickly through the kitchen area, and then the screen goes black until the very end where the camera is right side up, and it shows an empty bed, with bedding that looks very similar to the bedding it showed at the beginning, with little sister.

The versions I've seen never show Gannon at all, all you can hear is her blathering like a psychopath, and him crying, a lot.
The only differences in these videos is that one has TS babbling about "don't know what to do" or something like that at the beginning, and the other one has a faint voice at the end that some say is Gannon saying "I'm bleeding".

So I'm curious how many versions of this video exist?

ETA: Clarity.

I wonder if it's not only different versions of the same video or multiple different videos that have been leaked because I don't see a lot of that in the one I have.

 

[Yellow Rose]

I wonder if they are driving and she just keeps yapping so they’re taking the long way letting her dig the hole a lil deeper

I would doubt they are driving, they usually fly.

No worries, it's still quite readable, thanks.

Seen on Reddit (r/Gannon Stauch):

And this: A lady in a Facebook group posted:

This is from a neighbor of mine who lives in Lorson Ranch!!

"Hey everyone! My brother and I own a clothing brand called Iron Apparel. We are both veterans and share that bond with Al. We have all of our shirts printed here in Colorado Springs and store our inventory and ship orders out of our “warehouse” (my basement) in Lorson Ranch, the same neighborhood that Gannon’s family lives in. This has hit us close to home and just truly wrecked our hearts. Our brand is built on Proverbs 27:17 “Just as Iron sharpens Iron, so one person does to another”.

That is exactly what I’ve seen throughout this entire investigation, Iron sharpening Iron. The community coming together, helping one another, LE agencies working hand in hand, professionals searching on horseback while amateurs fly their drones and hundreds scour videos online. People praying for the first time in years. Parents holding their children tighter. Bonds being forged, relationships formed and strengthened. This beautiful boy lit this city in blue, united our hearts, and left his mark on our lives.

Our goal is to honor him with this collection, raise money for the family to properly lay him to rest, and spread his story throughout the nation so that justice can be served and his legacy can live on!

All proceeds from this collection will be donated to Gannon’s family.

All orders will be taken from now until Saturday, March 7th at midnight MST.

We will then print all of them and ship them within 10-15 business days (depending on how many are ordered).

Even if you choose not to buy a shirt, please consider liking and sharing the link so that it can reach as many people as possible.

Shirts are available for purchase here: The Gannon Strong Collection

Thank you!"
