Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 **ARREST** #40

[MtnMama]

All you state makes perfect sense.

What I'm very curious about is what ignited her rage? She had been in Gannon's life for over five years. Why now, what happened to set her off? Loss of her job that Friday, or did Gannon find something she was afraid he was going to tell Landen or Al?

Sadly I think AS was away a lot due to his job. I think LS verbally & physically abused Gannon over the years, it just got worse & Gannon was getting older and more aware.

This was not a one time thing, she recorded a video that she thought would help her. Instead through that horrific & haunting video we got to witness the abuse! It's evidence of what this sweet, innocent boy had to endure & what she normalized! No, this was not the first time she abused him mentally/physically, it's just the first time she went past the point of no return which lead to murder!

LS is not human, and no amount of punishment or prison time even comes close to being enough!

Sweet Gannon entered this world fighting to live, and that's how he left this world too. He is a brave hero in SO many ways! His story will be told and his legacy of goodness, joy, and bravery will live on forever!

Got it!

I thought when you said you speculated the "very same thing" you were agreeing with the part that said the back of head interview was recorded and shown at a later date. Sorry!

Gotcha. No worries. This quarantine has me ready to raise my hackles at the least provocation. And the liquor store is closed. Help me, Lord.

 

[SleuthBee]

She is now just as defenseless as he was. There is no story the best defense team in the country could weave.

... and no lights, cameras or stage for a defense attorney to bolster their career, just hours and hours of complete frustration. This is what I want to believe. TS doesn't deserve the attention of a highly acclaimed defense attorney.

I think the job loss was a trigger but I also believe she picked on him - imo since we have not had any information that she did - just a feeling I have
JMO

I wonder if AS knew that she lost her job.

I can't even wrap my head around the murder...the idea of her bullying him just brings out the momma bear in me. But I agree. I can't comprehend her actually caring for him only to be facing THIRTEEN CHARGES related to his murder.

Sh e claims she cared for him "because LH didn't want to." Yet, he ends up thrown away with less caring than I dispose of trash bags.

grrrrrr .....

bbm
Does anyone, besides me, feel that those designer items were obtained and then sold via less than legitimate means? I had an inkling from the minute I first saw her Poshmark.

it’s quite possible she racked up debt with credit cards AS was unaware of....financial dishonesty, ugh. USAA is on the witness list.

 

[ab01]

I do not believe Gannon's body was returned to the house, my post was expounding upon a theory that if Gannon had returned (alive) with LS in the truck that she would have had to have murdered him in the house.

Gotcha yah I agree he never returned and honestly I never understood the push to believe LS statement that GS had returned that day. A liars statement and a grainy shadow was somehow turned into hard evidence by a specific social media personality and pretty much used as a defense of this vile woman all over social media. There was never and has never been any facts that GS ever returned to that home. In fact the evidence points to the very opposite. It’s fine to be open to certain possibilities, but to all but state it as fact and spread it all over social media was wrong imo. Not aimed at anybody here so let’s make that clear. And maybe that wasn’t their intention, but that is certainly how it was spread and portrayed by LS minions

 

[MtnMama]

I felt the same way. I just wanted to be able to yell into the computer screen "Don't get in the truck!".

Yes & I kept praying that the mail person, delivery driver, or observant neighbor would pull up!! Imagine if someone saw them and was able to grab Gannon & take him to safety?!!

LS taunted the whole of us with SM.

 

[zenzen]

He was dead already.

I understand the need to find someone or something to blame. But he was already gone before anyone even called the police. And there is only one person to blame for that, and she's in jail.

Using this case to say, "Well, they should've..." about what police should do differently for a missing child just doesn't work, because the outcome would still be the same.

this wasn't about blame, it was about the process of missing people investigations, i know he couldn't have been saved but months of searches may have been reduced had LE had the manpower and funding to manage their case load.
other cases in the future may have better outcomes, if LE begin investigating missing people cases immediately, especially in adolescents and adult cases, the wait and see approach is letting down so many victims, some who are alive for a period of time after being abducted.

i do not blame LE for letting G down at all ( long family connection to LE including my uncle who was a very highly decorated detective and eventually a regional commander in australia before he retired)

there are often problems with the way missing people reports are handled at the beginning, police need better funding and numbers to start dealing with these cases head on.
last year in the usa over 609k went missing, the stats say an average of 90k at any given time.
here in australia that number is much lower but so is our population.
how many of those are actually homicides or kidnappings i do not know but i would guess a fair number.

if each one of the adolescent and adult cases is treated to the 24-48hrs before being reported officially as missing, how much head start are their killers getting?

 

[ab01]

Agreed and this made me think of something else

The ducking out of sight of the passing car was definitely very telling and chilling imo. She didn’t want to be seen! But she forgot about a certain neighbors home security camera oops.

THIS IS LS version NOT mine. HYPOTHETICAL. moo How this went with the moving caravan.

Except SHE was the victim. AS was mean (maybe even abusive) She was left to take care of these bratty kids that their mother didn't want. Their father is always out of town, probably cheating.... I can't even set reasonable rules for these kids. Then he lets that awful woman in my home and they BOTH are mean and mistreat me. .... WHATEVER her BS story is. ... if she's been giving her 'victim' bs long before all this to her family?? Why wouldn't they buy it now? They would be happy she doesn't put up with the 'abuse' any longer. It's the police responsibility to find Gannon and her putting up a few posters really isn't going to make a difference and with the "way they are acting" she might be better off far far away.

ALL moo on THAT situation.

I am sure that's very close to the truth. I think her defense will parallel this, in an effort to mitigate sentencing. Albert will be portrayed as an awful man, and if they can find someone to hint or establish he cheated, so much the better for LS's side: it was a crime of passion. Actually, had she not roamed all around Creation for a couple of weeks after, it might have worked to get a second degree murder charge. I think we can all envision how that could have gone (if she had just killed Gannon at home after he did whatever).

Sorry? I know the date of the interview and the time it was aired. I should have pointed that out I guess. My point, and I've stated it in a previous thread, is that after Gannon's body was found in FL, I re -thought events in the days prior to the time that he was placed in FL. LE seems to believe he was put there around Feb. 3-5. Knowing this, and the fact that it's likely LS and crew left soon after the interview with Spencer, I see the possibility of her reluctance to face the camera in a new light: namely, she knew she would be transporting and hiding Gannon's body within the next few days and did not want random people that might see her on her trip to identify her as the step mom of the missing boy.

Yes, exactly. And she made up the "death threats" (although I would be surprised if AS hadn't uttered some kind of angry words - I know that I would have to be restrained from actually killing her).

She could have NOT given the interview, but no, she had to. She needed to get her narrative out there, that's how she's escaped from other bad-for-Tee situations. She also had to rally the 4 people and give them a story. Unafraid to face the world, Tee Stauch sets out on a quest for innocents.

 

[nyvictoria]

Police are asking for people to report sightings of LS in Pace, FL during Feb. 3-5 most likely because nobody else they’ve interviewed admits to being with LS during these dates. I think on or around Feb 1st. she let someone else drive her things to SC, as she stuck around (maybe telling them she had to complete LE interviews or help search). Then sometime on the 2nd/3rd she went all by herself and retrieved Gannon, drove him to Pace, FL over the 3rd-4th, and left him. Then maybe continued on to SC by the evening of the 5th. I don’t think she would risk telling ANYONE her secret. She doesn’t open up and be vulnerable to anyone. If anyone knew the truth then they could destroy her, and she wants control at all times. JMO

I agree. I think she either did this or, in a slight variation, the relatives were taken to the airport where they flew back to SC. LS drove the rental car, picked up Gannon and went on to FL and then back to SC. HH and the young man drove the truck to SC. I very much agree LS would have wanted to be alone and in complete control on her mission.

IMO I think that she often involved her family when she needed help getting out of whatever messy situation she created. They’re used to it because the whole world seems to conspire against LS. She’s been selling them these persecution stories for years. I think they’re all afraid of her. In the past, they may have wondered whether she was guilty of the accusation of the day but they would never have said it to her face because retribution would be severe. I think they’re all cooperating with the investigation because they know she’s going down this time.

I am fantastic at being an insomniac and listened to an interview with Chris Watts last night. (he apparently agreed to an interview to help investigators understand him.) He said that he was moved recently from CO (to MI?) because the prisoners in CO constantly threatened him, they had to put everyone in cells when he was transported from one area to another.

All day, I find myself hoping that TS is currently facing the same or worse. At the very least, she deserves a good dose of fear, of uncertainty that she is safe.

MOO

 

[SleuthBee]

IMO
I do think the pictures of her leaving the house carrying an object that looks like a gun is in fact a gun. And if there is a gun missing from the home that happens to match the caliber of the bullet wound(s) or bullet(s) found in Gannon, then that will be damming evidence in itself.

Depending on where she shot him, the bullet could remain in the body. Unless she was crazy enough to try to use a knife to dig out the bullet evidence. I wouldnt put that past her but I dont think she would be successful if the bullet went deep as that would be a difficult task. Plus there could be fragments of the bullet usually if it splintered inside the body. LE may be able to match up the chemical makeup of the bullet fragments with any remaining ammunition in the home if any is left there.

She sure made a lot of mistakes in this murder that is going to give LE plenty of evidence to convict her.

If it was a shot gun, the shells are not the same as a rifle. It blasts small steel pellets as opposed to one bullet. Removing all those pellets would be a tedious task. At least this is my understanding.

...OR extraordinarily abnormal black (heart).

Normally I'd go with black, but in this creature I'd say the heart was missing altogether!

 

[M-pathetic]

I don't believe for one second that was the first time she's hurt Gannon.
I firmly believe there were prior incidents of abuse, including emotional, verbal, and/or physical abuse.

Violence is not a "new" behavior for TS.
Look at her arrest record.
This is who she is, and has been, for a very, very long time.

I think any rejection, either real or perceived, is a trigger for her rage.
I think she's likely been rejected on multiple fronts recently (employment, marriage, etc.) and that she was a ticking time bomb just waiting to explode.
I think you're spot on about the recent job loss being one of the triggers.

I suspect it was something very, very minor that GS either said or did that she seized upon that Sunday, and GS became the whipping boy for all her pent-up rage.

She's evil.
She's vile.
She's toxic.
She's cruel.

She's demonic.

COVID-19 ain't got nothing on her.
She poses a serious threat to anyone who comes in contact with her.
She's utterly destructive.

She never should have been allowed within striking distance of that poor little boy.
Never.

JMO.

Not all shotgun shells are buckshot/birdshot, they also shoot slugs.

The 24-48 hour rule is a total myth. I'm not aware of any LE agencies that still do that.

We also don't actually know how Gannon's case was initially handled. There seemed to be quite a bit going on behind the scenes very early, despite him still being technically classified as a runaway. The FBI and EPCSO Major Crimes were on the case by day 2. For all we know, they were on to her from the very beginning, but chose to keep that info private to keep her off her guard and protect the ongoing investigation.

Edit: I do agree that many missing persons cases are severely mishandled, and there are serious deficiencies in our whole system of handling missing persons. I just haven't seen anything in this case yet that suggests incompetence.
