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

[Feistyomi]

I don't believe remarriage would affect child support. The new spouse is under no legal obligation to financially support a step-child.

HH was 11, not 13 when her father died.

I don't believe Landen is LS's first husband's niece. There is a cousin named Landen but I believe that person is male.

At the time the first husband died, LS was employed as a Special Ed teacher in Horry Co. I don't know what her ex did for a living but it is possible she earned as much or more than he did.

If it did, it was because she used it as a glove to keep her prints from a weapon +/or protect her hand from Gun Shot Residue.

Maybe they found the sock's match and wanted to know what happened to the other one??

I am having trouble with the entire injured foot in the garage, then a sock? ... why was he barefoot in the garage in January? Even kids don't do that on purpose for long. (ie run out to grab a leash or something, but no hanging out in bare feet on concrete in January.....)

I am still on the fence that the injury to his foot was no I injury at all. It was a way to pre-explain blood being found there.

I think her rage escalated in the garage and she grabbed the closest thing, a 2x4, and beat him.

Another poster suggested the board may have had nails in it, which could explain the sharp object used. But that might just be me "hoping" it went down like that and not him being stabbed.

Gannon

RSBM

The novel
JMHO

The only benefit, IMO, would be Social Security benefits to minor child(ren) from HH father. I don't know the amount, but imo, is intended to be a replacement for child support lost when a parent passes with minor children.

 

[Knox]

IMO there was never an injured foot. She made it up to explain blood found. And she never expected him to be found and her lies found out.
JMO

Exactly!!

 

[LietKynes]

Or running back and forth to an outside gate

Agreed.
I thought about TS' remark about Gannon's dna or blood found in various places on that property...
What if he ran to the gate as she was hitting or cutting him ?
Trying to escape ?
And she knows his fingerprints, etc. would be on that gate latch ?

 

[LightandReason]

He was wearing blue jeans and blue shirt Sunday (GoG) and when I think something bad happened contaminating the clothes. She had to dispose of those and say he was wearing them when he left. THE real last clothes he was wearing was the clothes on the video Monday morning. MOO

Ah - an excellent hypothesis! Explains why she would have chosen those clothes as the ones he was wearing when she last saw him. Of course she would have to get rid of them if they had his blood on them and of course she'd have to explain where they were if she destroyed them.

The second set of charges were added surprisingly (to me) quickly after the body was found.

So, were all of those fbi agents from the various states, along her route from CO to SC, on the original witness list that was released? As in.....before his body was found?

I'm not trying to imply that anything strange is going on. I just find it interesting. Maybe LE had been exploring the possibility that she dumped him along that trip?

Her Route is NOT on the original
The FBI agents from the various states are listed on it.

 

[Bubblehead]

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.

Ha...liquor stores in NY are considered "essential"...go figure. My stash is full..

Wonder if -- during their searches -- investigators found some of the possibly bloody clothing ??
I feel for those having to see and deal with this case first hand.
Ugh.

That’s all fine and well, but it’s a lot of headache for a death penalty trial when the sentence is going to be commuted down the road.

If sentences prior to the legislation have already been commuted, then those sentences still within the allowed timeframe will ultimately face the same fate.

It’s pointless.

BBM:

In a practical sense, you're probably right.

I'm looking at it this way, though:

Governor <modsnip> has just commuted the sentences of the 3 barbaric murderers currently sitting on death row.

It likely wouldn't be a very popular move, even with Coloradans who supported the repeal of the dp, to commute TS's sentence if a jury voted that she receive the death penalty.

It would make for an interesting poll question for Colorado voters:

"Do you favor the commutation of death sentences for women who bludgeon, stab and shoot children under the age of 12? Please answer "Yes" or "No."

Politically, I'm thinking that would not be a terribly smart move.

<modsnip>

And if it didn't give him pause, it would likely provide fodder for his opponents, and/or create the climate for more victim-friendly politicians to be elected.

<modsnip>

Who wouldn't love to see TS be the last person executed in the State of Colorado?

*ETA: I gotta' be honest: This post is even more effective after the mod-snips.

JMO.

Whoever that guy was driving the moving van is probably the same guy who dumped the body. If HE was driving it at interview and she was driving her car what makes anyone think they switched drivers. Obviously he wasn’t a moving man, bc they don’t sit there waiting for you as you ramble on in long interviews. And do you seriously think she’s going to trust a stranger to move her “stuff.” She must know him. So who is he??? And more importantly how did he NOT smell death in the truck!? Or did he. He must have helped her move her stuff. Surely he smelled or saw something. W.t.h. is he???

JMO but I don't think any guy dumped Gannon who was inside a suitcase.
I think LS did this all on her own.

 

[Dave F.]

I think it is likely that LE created the spliced version and directed its release. I am certain they have the original intact tape IMO; by the time the tapes were shared LE was already investigating foul play and had the POI in their sites. She definitely became erratic after that video was shared.

That certainly sounds logical, and proper but that is not what RD told ABC News reporter Clayton Sundell. IMO

Just click on "edit", erase your post and replace it with "DBM" (deleted by me.)

Thank you

Bringing this back up from earlier today. In this video, Leigh Egan tell Tricia she spoke to HH. She told Leigh that TS was pregnant and had been in the hospital. There was no mention of when this occurred.

So ... when did the interview with Leigh take place? Could this have been TS's cover story for her Florida absence?

If this has already been discounted, please forgive me and just scroll and roll

 

[Feistyomi]

I think she went with overkill because she’s a psycho killer.

This is someone, in my view anyway, who was going to commit a murder at some point, whether or not she ever crossed paths with AS.

Gannon...

she didn’t have to completely clean it ALL up, this way she could Liesplain, temporary insanity, snapped, she should have stuck to one scenario and tightened it up...hard to understand the extensive
preplanning w/ someone who snaps... too many back up plans... something moved timeline up?

 

[RaspberryMama]

I have boxes of wine.

Oh my. What an odd and random thing to say to me.

Jk. Boxes are fine. I'm not picky and I'm less picky by the day. Cheers!

 

[susiQ]

Hey! Since I'm on my way to do just that very thing, I'd be happy to show you.. Click on the poster's profile, then click "ignore this poster" in the upper right corner.

Unless it's me. Then... I don't know.

[oviedo]

IMO: LS verbally abused Gannon while the daughter and stepdaughter were there on Sunday. I believe she physically abused him with the board and stabbed him Monday morning. Then drove off with Gannon Monday, shot him and discarded his body. Poor Gannon and his loved ones.

If she stabbed him Monday he was still able to walk to the truck IMO - I think the stabbing and gunshot were later and the beating was Sunday night

Gannon Stauch stepmom reveals where she went the day Colorado boy disappeared [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW]
It’s been one month since 11-year-old Gannon Stauch vanished from his Colorado home. As part of our investigative report, CrimeOnline spoke exclusively with the last known person to see him. Tecia...


Leigh Egan@LeighEgan
Feb 27 Interview was done earlier this week, on Monday

Ok, so Monday would have been February 24th. So maybe my thought that TS told her family she was pregnant and in the hospital could be possible?

If one of you WS'ers could ask this question of Leigh via Twitter, maybe she will give her thoughts on the possibility.
