Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 **ARREST** #36

[LietKynes]

I'm only talking about the witness list. That's a public court document and fair game.

Yes, the entire document can be discussed now.

Tricia's little dog was having surgery, I'm worried. Has anybody heard if he is okay?

I hope and pray that they found him. I heard that the coroner was at the roped off scene today.

Welcome Catareeka, with your post.
Coroner at 'roped off scene' surely indicates news.

Intriguing idea.

Which brings us along to where LE was weeks ago:

What is missing from the house?

What has fibers on it that tell the story of what happened? Where is the blood evidence?

Is a duffel bag missing? A shovel? Any floor coverings? Wood? Electronics? Bicycles? Hockey sticks? Sports equipment? Exercise equipment? Gannon's clothing? A gate key?

There is one witness who knows an awful lot about these questions: AS.

Oh...and there's a carwash witness. And new retail stores. Things are coming together.

The carwash that I use here in CO is a different franchise than LS used, but there are cameras several places and even in the car wash bay. She sure was getting a lot of camera time during those few days!

Speaking of bank cards, there’s a company called Green Dot on the witness list. Pre-paid debit cards.

Yes, wasn't that interesting? Why would someone who has an annual combined income of $180k/year need a prepaid debit card? Cleaning supplies, vaping supplies, fuel for a rental car?

I'm more inclined to believe she was hiding money (from AS) than plotting ahead against Gannon. JMO, MOO

That was a false rumor.

My guess would be they requested footage from each, as they were along her route and had known surveillance cameras that may have captured the truck or something, or they found a subway wrapper somewhere, and requested info from each because they weren’t sure which she visited. I don’t know if it would make sense to have all three on the witness list though, if only one had pertinent information.

If you were on a journey, to conceal a 'body', why on earth do you stop and eat?
Isn't your adrenaline high, and you're on a mission: no water or food intake wanted?
MOO.

Sometimes rebates and income tax refunds are given in the form of a prepaid card, FWIW.

Apologies for all the duplicate posts, not sure what happened.

Wanted to repost the map, added the search location from today-Bradley & Marksheffel Roads.

Apparently you can load your PayPal account with your GreenDot funds. Maybe she emptied their bill account or whatever funds she could get to and put on on GreenDot? PayPal is also on the witness list. I know you can use PayPal to buy stuff with 6 months no interest if paid in full.

Am I imagining or did we hear TS say something about she left Gannon in the truck at Petco because AS thought it was ok to leave the kids in the car so she thought it was ok? This was early on from what I recall.

It’s all running together!

Looks like the other post didn't show.
The fact that TS might have had burning resentment against LH is possible motive; but why would TS do something that would take away her freedom ?
Maybe for the rest of her life ?
Was it worth it ?
For most the answer would be 'no'.
Anyone who commits murder has to know they might not get away with it.
So it's a gamble.
But with your life -- as a free individual ?

I just keep thinking what does she gain from murdering Gannon?

I struggle to think that it was to cover up her abuse of him, because we have already seen through her statements that she believes she can create her own reality and talk her way out of anything. Whose to say she wouldn't think she would be able to intimidate Gannon into telling a made up story about how he got hurt, and then she could just lie to the hospital staff, possibly somehow making herself look like the "hero" she always wanted to appear to be, by bringing an injured (maybe the story would be "he had an accident and i rushed him to the hospital") Gannon to the hospital and "saving his life"

I just don't see why or what the motivation would be to take an able bodied enough to walk boy out to some remote location and kill him, when she could have taken him to the hospital and possibly looked like a "hero" depending on what story she and Gannon told about what happened.

Imo. Moo. Just because i can see how delusional she seems to be from her statements. Gloating about future apologies from her husband when she already knew she had murdered his son.

It was a combination of things IMO. She did not like this child or she resented him for some reason. Maybe he sassed her (and we know she probably could not handle her authority being challenged). I think she has a personality disorder which manifested itself previously in other interactions she had with people. She had just found out she would not be getting a teaching job. I wonder if she didn't have this planned for when she knew AS would be out of town.

Agreed.
It looks like there could have been a lot of premeditation.
