Coronavirus may be consuming everyone's attention, but the disappearance of 11-year-old Gannon Stauch still remains unsolved. Support for Gannon and his family continues in many ways, including the following moment at the State Capitol last week.
Last Monday, State Rep. Lois Landgraf made a brief presentation to fellow legislators in Denver about the Gannon Stauch case. She noted that many members of the El Paso County contingent were wearing blue in honor of Gannon. She then explained Gannon’s story and the reason for the blue, quoting a statement from Pastor Paul Aragon of Restoration Church in Fountain:
“A little less than six weeks ago, many people in the Fountain Valley started wearing blue … because it was Gannon Stauch’s favorite color and we wanted to show that we cared about him and wanted him to come home safely. Now, throughout the Fountain Valley, El Paso County and literally all over the country, we are wearing blue and lighting blue lights in honor of a precious young life lost, and in hopes that it brings some amount of comfort to his family to know they do not mourn alone.”
“I ask that you continue to pray that his body is found,” Landgraf said, explaining that Gannon’s stepmother, Letecia Stauch, was currently in jail on charges of murder and abuse. “Hopefully she’ll stay there for a long, long time.”
Blue ribbons were distributed to legislators in attendance, and Landgraf requested that they be worn for the remainder of the week.
