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

[Warwick7]

There's more than one Subway listed.

Subway on N Powers Blvd

Subway at 6042 Stetson Hills Blvd

Subway at 5754 Palmer Park Blvd

Wowzers....
Eating or outside video footage

 

[Warwick7]

I noticed that because I live here and they are all off of Powers Blvd. A quick and easy way to go North to Douglas County. Very strange if she stopped at all 3 in the same day.

Hmmm... Could it be she drove by them and picked up in surveillance?

 

[GRT]

wouldn’t it be wild if the truth was that she actually was headed there to get him treated and he died. But why wait all night, unless she actually thought whatever she did wasn’t going to be lethal. You never know. Some people aren’t that smart. I could definitely see a juror buying it, unless they have some really damning evidence to prove otherwise, like she brought a gun and bullets or some other implement of murder.

A bloody board that *bounces* out of the back of her truck is pretty "damning," I think. Especially if the blood tests out to be GS's.

And if she’s claiming the blood on the board is from “woodworking activities” but his hair or other matter inconsistent with her explanation are found on the board also.

Blood evidence is going to be a big part of the case with out a body.
Blood patterns and the quantity will
be crucial to convincing a jury to convict for murder if they cannot find G by the time the trial begins.

i highly doubt Tee will have used any form of weapon that would (in her mind) contradict her story that he ran away, a gun leaves a bullet wound ... if the bullet didn't exit the body it can be used to compare to any weapon she would have had access to.
blunt force trauma however in her estimation would be safer because she may have believed that LE couldn't determine exactly how the injury came about, her problem lies in that fall injuries and impact injuries from an object being used against a person can leave different evidence, including transfer and blood evidence as well as the type of injury left, patternation etc..
I think Tee dug into her tv crime show knowledge to try to cover her tracks, thinking she was tricky enough for that to succeed.
A deeper understanding of criminal investigative techniques she did not have.

as for his disposal, Tee needed somewhere she could leave him without getting herself particularly dirty or messy, she entered stores after we believe she hid G, she needed her appearance to not attract attention, especially if she returned to the same store more than once, a disheveled appearance or a change of outfit would definitely raise questions if security cameras were checked.

wild speculation about exotic forms death or of disposal that don't fit with the nature of the person involved and the time she had available is unnecessary and unhelpful.
we do not need to sensationalise this case. it is tragic enough already.

I apologize if it's already been addressed, I can't keep up with these threads! Petco "Loss Prevention" is likely the security company hired by Petco. We use Loss Prevention at work. They maintain our security cameras and have access to our alarm system, as well. HTH
JMO, MOO, etc

3/11/20 Demon eye, captured by the courtroom camera before Letecia averted her eyes. It is the last thing Gannon saw on the ride away from his home on January 27, 2020.

aka "The Dead Eye Stare"

Good thoughts @zenzen. To keep her appearance to not attract attention, may I add the avoidance of scratches, defense wounds, and also causing damage to the truck. Was she wearing boots?

"The nature of the person"?? Yikes, lol!

 

[SleuthBee]

Just want to add a map to show that it is only a few miles from Mandan Drive to that area between Bradley and Marksheffell. This search area would fit for many who have speculated that he was close to home to support TS saying he ran away.

During the phone interview, did TS mention 100 feet away? Which in T-speak could mean that he is closer to home than where they are searching. (fingers crossed)

Ive been following along since Gannon disappeared but I’m sure I missed a ton of good discussion so forgive me if I’m bringing up subjects that have already been mentioned. I haven’t caught up on this thread yet but I wanted to mention a few things that stood out to me. This is all JMO.

I think she drugged or poisoned Gannon just short of death, waited until he could barely get to the car on his own then drove him somewhere and left him there. On the way to taking him wherever she wound up she may have told Gannon what she was going to do just to enjoy the terror she caused in him. I think she felt she had every right to abuse and terrorize Gannon. She a martyr and deserving of sainthood. She feels justified in getting rid of him. I think she’s that f***ed up.

I don’t think she will ever admit to the abuse or tell where she put Gannon. I think she’ s very much like Arias in the sense that she loves the sound of her own voice. She thinks she’s smarter than everyone else, including her attorneys. She gave interviews and posted on social media defending herself (badly), while barely mentioning Gannon. If her attorneys advise her to shut up, she’ll ignore them. Death penalty or not, I think she’ll roll the dice and take her chances with a jury just like Arias. She’ll love dragging it out as long as possible because it will hurt everyone who loves Gannon. She’ll want to testify because she “ knows” she can convince the jury she’s a poor innocent little lamb who is being persecuted by LE. I won’t be shocked if she invents a scenario in which she had to defend herself from Gannon.

I don’t believe she was ever a real PhD candidate. I find it hard to believe she has a degree of any sort but I assume she must because a school district hired her. I think it’s absolutely appalling that she was able to get a job anywhere near children with her background. Convictions or not, where there’s smoke there’s usually a fire. My mother taught 2nd grade and was an assistant principal for 48 yrs. Anyone who wanted to spend unescorted time in the school for any reason had to have a background check. Anyone convicted of a crime involving a child or with an open or substantiated COS case was not allowed in the school unless escorted by staff.

back to lurking...

@nyvictoria to me, your theory is the worst in that he suffered abandonment then succumbed to exposure. Cruel

TS left her phone at home, and that is a gap in a died by accident defense.

Well put. "What fits with the nature of the person". I'm no psych expert, but getting a sense of her through her own dialogue over the past month, I'm sure she dumped him in a dense and somewhat remote area, not too terribly far from a road.

Great point about not getting messy and visiting stores afterwards.

 

[SleuthBee]

GANNON is my hero! Going thru her former life, coroner for ex-husband, probably a nothing burger, one could only hope...


I have no idea how that linked, should have been my response to why coroner on witness list... my phone has the whuann virus, time to quit...

That coroner's office (or the autopsy record) is on that witness list for a reason ... hmm??

Search efforts in the Gannon Stauch case continued today in the area of Bradley Road and Marksheffel Road. If you have factual information, we ask you to call the Sheriff's Office Tip Line at 719-520-6666 or email [email protected]

Reposting for Gannon today. They are coming to find you handsome. Keep smiling.

 

[ChuckInHouston]

Also, the presence of both Enterprise and Avis on the list struck me as unusual.

Unless she didn't drive her own car to SC; and it seems kind of pointless not to drive her own car there, since she certainly couldn't leave it in Lorson Ranch... I wonder how long you can leave "own vehicles" in their airport parking lot?[/QUO

LE, has her car.

 

[JDough]

So she was 'cleaning' in the basement when she said she was 'working out' JMO, MOO

That would definitely be a "work out".

She probably got hot and sweaty, raised her heart rate, and gave herself a cool-down period before the Girls arrived home, IMO. IF the security alarm report (posted several threads ago), is accurate, it doesn't explain how nearly every room in the house detected movement, though? Unless of course she was running laps around the house. But that wouldn't be working out in the basement, I guess? Might be hard to explain that one!!

 

[sleuther0192837465]

Good morning folks! Still battling illnesses Will be in & out again.
HERE FOR GANNON

 

[SleuthBee]

Just a couple of random observations: surprised there's no Play It Again Sports locations or witnesses on the list. So it sounds like she didn't go there, as was suspected.

That may not be so. There are many names listed where the company / location and address is redacted.

 

[SleuthBee]

I think if she was able to eat after murdering and hiding Gannon she would definitely be psychopathic/ anti social.

That’s what I keep coming back to in this case. If she was physically abusive to Gannon and it went too far and she wound up killing him? Ok but she is taking it to a whole other level with hiding, lying and avoiding responsibility. You’d think if it was an accident (I’m not going to get into abuse turning into murder exactly being an accident but go with me here) she’d have succumbed to the guilt and shame by now.

But how in the world can a person digest food after doing something like that? I'd be sick and broken.

 

[mrlime]

GANNON is my hero! I believe it was mentioned earlier on WS that they were cousins, no confirmation... my bigger question is when did their paths first cross(Letecia & LH) ?

Yes IMO she has been completely taken over by events having attempted to control the narrative on all levels:

The facebook video
The interviews
Throwing shade on others
The musical chair cars
The driving around for an alibi
The attacking a deputy which may have been to incite violence upon her.

 

[MsBetsy]

What do you think ?
Why is the charging affidavit mentioning the need for a blood spatter expert ?
This is a fact and the document doesn't say why-- we'll find out when the AA comes out.

It may have something to do with the "saucer sized" pool of blood in or right outside of Gannon's room.

They may have been looking at evidence of a pattern of abuse such as blood evidence from different injuries over time as described by others in the house or from what they believe was one vicious assault which contributed to his death.

TS did say Gannon often had nose bleeds and walked around the house with blood all over his shirt, so I'm thinking there is blood in many different areas of the house. Maybe he left a blood trail, after bleeding from a head wound.

Imo Head trauma is the most common cause of death in young children who died by child abuse, I'm not sure about children Gannon's age, but I wouldn't be surprised.
