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

[Pink2017]

ITA losing that job triggered her. Something else just occurred to me. When she talked to Leigh Egan about the rental car and which vehicles were at the airport, TS said that AS drove with his Mom to the Denver airport Saturday night. Because his Mom was taking a red eye flight . I don’t believe much of what she says but I believe this.
So not only the job situation, but she had just had her Mother in Law visiting. JMO

would this be his “nana” , the one Gannon would run to? good catch @Cindizzi.

 

[M-pathetic]

I'm starting to believe that as well. The photo she took of the three of them on Sunday seems more than just a little bit contrived. But, if that's true, then she really wanted to torture him in addition to killing him. And, that bothers me immensely. MOO JMO

While I don't discount the possibility that Sunday's events were unplanned, I absolutely DO believe that T intended to rid herself of GS sooner or later. Otherwise, what person (not to mention caregiver) could accidentally hurt a child in rage, then carry on with a heinous murder without a smidgeon of remorse? IMO, only (as jgarris noted) a stone-cold killer. Her nonchalant attitude about Gannon's whereabouts during the backwards interview was beyond the pale. While random strangers were distraught and panicked, she called out SM posters about the ridiculous notion that Gannon could be dead. Utterly barbaric.

We know LS' Facebook page was accessible at one time but currently is not. We also know LS posted to her FB page but we are not permitted to post/discuss that content here. Still, that doesn't mean we have to personally ignore what we know we read or saw.

What I can not fathom is what LS' intent was when she posted things to her FB page. I'm not revealing content here, I'm only attempting to ascertain state-of-mind. Desperate acts; wanted to establish a 'reason' why she "hurt" Gannon.

We now know that Gannon is deceased, which leads us to assume the rage in that house was violently extreme. Might we assume that LS appearing so calm (immediately?) after-the-fact reveals abnormal grey matter?

 

[lucidtx]

They undoubtedly know COD and the order of the injuries, you're right. I want to see what the tox screens reveal, did she drug him?

It's interesting that a DEA agent is on the witness list.

 

[Iggy2020]

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

Is there any confirmation when she knew about the rescinding of her job? Because different MSM has different reports, one said before others say after Gannon went missing. Or maybe she had an inkling?

To add:
Usually in cases like these, there is a history of abuse, would like to see what info they have on this. I bet Gannon could have still been saved.She probably also realized that getting charge for child abuse would basically eliminate her from any jobs with kids. So she had to cover up.

But Spencer verified the interview took place on 1/31, not earlier. @Silverheels emailed him. It's on this thread. I don't know how to link it here. Sorry.

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.

should LS plea with an insanity defense, will we see a barrage of scans ensue?!

...OR extraordinarily abnormal black (heart).

Was it Gannon's paternal or MAternal "Nana" T said he loved so? I believe it was Landen's mom...?

 

[RaspberryMama]

This brings the bloody sock that was supposedly found into play, if you're right. But TS is a liar who can't tell the truth. So the cut on his foot may be a complete fabrication, never happened. An assault took place in the garage, but it wasn't his foot which bled.

I'm not 100% sure the sock itself was bloody. This was discussed in a previous thread. Paraphrasing, the article said "sock and bloody board". I thought of it as a bloody sock too until this was pointed out.

It did seem as though she was trying to presplain blood found... What she said would cover blood on a board and on a sock. We just don't know that the sock was bloody.

After typing that out though, I am leaning more towards the sock also being bloody. Why else toss it out?

 

[nyvictoria]

I really think that TS will be tasting a lot of sadness. The life-style change in itself is traumatic. No more colorful Lilly Pulitzer dresses, Kate Spade bags or cool shades

I think many lifers adapt well, but only after complete acceptance. Before socializing in general population, TS has two huge obstacles to overcome; the stigma of brutally murdering a child, and earning the trust of the corrections staff. Her extradition escapade earned her the label of a threat. Hopefully she finds a way to deal with her anger. Other inmates will push her buttons, and the guards will not hesitate to send her to the hole JMOO.

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.

I think it has something to do with her not wanting them to look into her past about drug use etc. Maybe she's an addict. Would explain her erratic behaviors and possible mood swings, etc. Perhaps she had some type of run in.

MOO

No, that would be LH’s Mother that TS discussed in the DWAP phone call. I bet AS’s Mom is just as doting and close.

Let us not forget the "saucer-size pool of blood" allegedly found in Gannon's bedroom.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if she had been leading a secret life, and up to either or both of these things.

Yes, she was referring to Landen's mother.

We may safely assume Gannon was not deceased immediately after LS originally "hurt" him Saturday and/or Sunday because HH reported (during the 'Cousin Itt' interview) that she saw Gannon that Sunday evening after the hike (I do not believe HH lied) and then Gannon is seen in the RD video recorded Monday walking to and entering the truck.

LS had to have murdered Gannon that Monday or Tuesday; we do not yet know if LS had placed a restrained, still-alive Gannon that Monday either somewhere along the 'shopping trip' route or if he was deceased and in a suitcase still in LS' possession and was eventually placed in the rented vehicle early Tuesday morning.

Charges against LS indicate LE believes she murdered Gannon that Monday; they assume Gannon was deceased by the time he was reported to LE as a "runaway". There is no reason to believe Gannon was still alive at that point.

I have since reluctantly abandoned the "shadow on the other side of the truck" theory which assumes Gannon returned in the truck that Monday afternoon and that LS had murdered Gannon Monday evening. I am curious as to what Gannon's younger sibling said about what she witnessed that weekend; did she ever see Gannon Monday morning?

Would LE have checked suitcases in the house that Monday, Tuesday while searching for a "runaway" Gannon? I doubt it. For all we know, Gannon's body might have been in a suitcase placed in the bed of the truck or in the trunk of her vehicle, ready to be transported the following Tuesday morning.

MOO

i highly doubt Gannons body was ever transported back to the house. It would defy any logic of LS main goal of not getting caught. She was about to call LE and start an investigation. She would have no way to fully control where and how they searched. If they thought he may be hiding somewhere in the house they would turn the house inside out and would have likely discovered him. She’s a control freak, she likely hid him somewhere far away from the house, like in a woods in Douglas county some 40 miles north of her home. Most killers try to distance themselves from their evil deeds not bring them back home with them. Also I believe he was infact murdered in that 4 hr time frame of her back roads trip. And personally I don’t think she had a specific location in mind. I think she just went out driving back roads until she found a spot she thought would be good. I think she likely marched him into the woods and killed him and left him right where he died. She then went back and retrieved him later and fled. Jmo

Maybe! Lots of purses, right? We know she was looking for a sugar daddy at one point. Imo, she may have pursued *interesting* career paths.

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!

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.
