Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 **ARREST** #45

[MassGuy]

You know how LS always hides a truth inside a lie? I still remember her tsplaining the truck footage. She said the footage was from the wrong day. I still wonder if Gannon walking towards and getting into the truck is completely unrelated.

Law enforcement thinks it’s related, and that system would provide an unequivocal time/date. This isn’t something they could screw up.

She insisted he returned, which was the part she was focused on. Little did we know, that she had told law enforcement the Eguardo story before the tape was released, so she needed to make that argument.

Where can I find this "new, clearer photo"? Was this in the affidavit? TIA.

New, clearer photo was removed until it can be verified by WS.

Hey everyone,

We are trying to verify the picture that you all keep posting and we have to keep removing.
The pictures was sent to a YouTube host. The host said it just showed up in her email.
Please stop posting this picture. We have no idea if it is legit. We are trying to find out now. Until then please do not post ANYTHING unless it is from a mainstream media source.
Thank you,
Tricia

She was actually very lucky because I have seen plenty of cases where the cops wanted to look inside vehicles when kids are reported missing. Kids are known to hide or play in cars or fall asleep in them, and cops usually look inside trunks and back seats just to be certain they aren't trapped there. I remember a tragic case years ago where a kid was inside the trunk of as car after playing hide and seek and no one found him in time.

And if the cops had asked Tee, may we look in the car, what can she say? ...'Um NO, you can't look for my missing son in our car' ? Awkward,,..

This is why I think she packed him in suitcase and hid him along a roadside while HH was at Dollar General.
Assume she would hide him along a route to the airport for the night then pick up suitcase in the morning on way to airport. Big Johnson Resevoir is in between Lorson Ranch and the CS Airport MOO is one place that would have worked.

This is something law enforcement would know though, as the neighbor’s camera would have captured it.

Had she left the house at any point prior to the police arriving (or that evening), it would have been mentioned.

They theorized his body was still in the Tiguan when it was left at the airport, and I think it’s likely they reached that conclusion because she didn’t leave.

Does anyone know why it took LE 3 HOURS to come out to house when a little boy is reported missing? That’s scary. Unless, TS was acting like it was no big deal and that she just called to have it registered as a report in case AS asked. Which, if true, should have sent up red flags to LE. Also, if after a door to door of neighborhood, LE found out that she never bothered asking neighbors if they saw him. More red flags. It’s not like he was 16 or 17. He was a little boy. I’m shocked they didn’t send someone out immediately. Anytime I’ve ever called the cops for any reason, they’ve always sent someone out immediately, whether it’s for kids drag racing down the street or a suspicious vehicle parked nearby, literally anything. It’s almost like she said, “Hey don’t bother coming out. Just wanted to call in case husband asks.”

I’m with you on this because I don’t understand this at all. Regardless if it’s common practice to answer other calls before answering a runaway call, the “runaway” was 11 years old for gods sake.

I agree AS looked the other way likely because of his love for her. I don’t think he knew she would abuse and kill Gannon. Some of us have a sixth sense about that kind of thing while others don’t.
What I do not understand is Landen saying she trusted her. How would you ever trust someone who slept with your husband while you were still his wife?

I think the reason LH made it a point to say she trusted TS was because of the publics' automatic "how did AS NOT know?" I think it was more of a statement to AS in public that she doesn't blame him because she also trusted this monster with their child. LH strikes me as the type of Mother that is willing to put any hard feelings aside for the sake of her children. She is obviously a very involved, loving mother who would never do anything to purposefully harm her children she obviously trusted AS and TS to love and care for her children and unfortunately this monster was just able to hide her destain for the kids well enough not to throw out any obvious signs.

BBM:

Let me tell you who had GS's phone while on errands: Letecia.
That's who had his phone.

If TS assaulted GS on Sunday evening, which I'm entirely convinced she did, then one of the first things she would have done subsequently would be to confiscate his phone so that he could not contact anyone to report what she'd done to him.

<b>I'd love to know when GS last spoke to someone outside of that home.</b>

I've had the same thought. I bet the police know. Seems it would be one of the first things they checked when they shifted gears on the investigation.

Holy Schmoly, I did see the news interview of the Petco cashier/manager talking about LS being in the store. I started searching for it and used the cashier's name which is out there. Well from what I see the cashier/ manager passed away in March? All the news videos are gone. I couldn't find them in any bloggers pages either. I do remember at that point that LE didn't want any interviews out there and I think I saw comments made online in that regard. As I also recall Petco did not approve of him speaking. Anyone else recall this?

I really don't know. I was only following the story loosely at that time. I didn't really pay attention to this until shortly before they found him.
When they finally found him, I've been glued to the case because they found him so close to where I live. I never saw any of the interviews, videos, SM posts, etc first-hand.
I've really been playing catch-up here on WS since like the day after they made the tentative ID...

 

[Stormi76]

It’s not my contention that he was deceased in pic. I say: wounded n drugged. But pic is definitely staged. Other people online think he looks dead there. I do not think he is dead tho obviously for the reason u mentioned. If u read my entire post u will see my theory. Same as always, but more detailed now having seen the new photo.

I know those pics can't be posted on the thread, but is it ok for someone to inbox me a link to the clearer pics? I couldn't make heads nor tails of any pic in the AA

You may already know this, but a great way to catch up is by going to the Media MapsTimeline on page 1 of this thread ( and every thread). It has everything in chronological order.

Wow, crazy. I wonder what he died from.

 

[Angels27]

Maybe she hit him in the head or abdomen with a big glass candle jar. We may never know what happened Sunday night for sure, unless there was an eyewitness like one of the other kids, since discovery of the body didn’t happen til much later.

I saw it. I won't talk about it since it's not allowed, but I have a new idea I THINK I can say here, based on a comment from the vid that I won't quote:

LS hit or kicked GS in the stomach HARD. Like hard enough to do some real damage. That's why she said he was having stomach issues. That's why he was hobbling, bent over to the truck on Monday. That's why he sounded so pained Sunday night. (If the Sunday night video it off limits I'll edit that out.)
She probably really was gonna take him to get medical treatment but realized she couldn't explain away an injury like that.
Mondays "errands" were probably her doing random things while the gears of her mind were smoking trying to figure out what to do
I don't think GS came home with her that afternoon.
I don't see her killing him, cleaning up, moving the body from the basement, etc in that window of time. I don't have a solid theory on what actually happened on that trip or when she killed him that I want to share now, but I just don't think so much happened between the time she/they got home and the time the police came.

Whatever happened Sunday night, and in light of all of the Google searches she was doing, it’s so interesting that none of the searches (at least that we know of) had anything to do with medical treatment of X, Y or Z. She cared more about the sofa, carpet and air then she did G and his injury. I don’t think she ever intended to take him for help. Good post and I agree with your theories. And maybe her searching about ‘how to get rid of smoke’ was her way of asking, “how do I get rid of bad smells in air?” without tipping her hand to anyone who might later see her searches. LE said she deleted stuff from computer and at the time of the AA they were still doing work to retrieve data. I wonder what else she deleted.

Good morning...

Here for Gannon!!

Right. It is just hard to conceive of her being so capable of calling the police and giving permission for a search while Gannon is in her car.

I agree it is hard to believe she would risk it but we know she was not shy of taking risks like the Florida trip with a body.

There are a couple more options I have been thinking about, although they may not be any more likely than the main two options we have been discussing. Im listing all the options I can think of with the first two being the main ones we have been talking about.

Option 1 - After we see Gannon getting in the vehicle with her on Monday to go to Petco, she kills him while they are out and she leaves his body somewhere before coming home.

Option 2 - She returns with him still alive. She proceeds to kill him shortly after they get home. She hides the body somewhere either in vehicle or in house and calls LE.

Option 3 - She returns with him but she had already killed him while they were out, and that could be why we dont see him since his body would be laying down or hidden in the back near the wheel well area. She then just works on concealing him better with a suitcase and cleaning up the house.

Option 4 - This option is like #2 with a slight twist. She returns with him still alive, kills him shortly after they get home, and then forces HH to do an errand for her which involves dropping off a suitcase at a certain place. TS would then pick it up on way to airport to rent the Kia. This allows TS to call LE without worrying about them finding Gannon.

I wonder if he was sick from his meds, or stress, or Burger King (if they went), and was vomiting or having GI issues/accidents on Sunday evening (something that would affect upholstery) that triggered whatever happened on Sunday with smoke, candle, sofa, blood, and blanket. That might explain the different bedding. I also wonder how much of what substance she gave him to keep him sedated on Monday.
