Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, Lorson Ranch, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *endangered* #19

[Seattle1]

I just don’t see her shoving him off a cliff, or doing a drive by drop close to a road or anywhere populated or where he would be easily discovered, or come up on at some point by some unsuspecting party. I don’t see her doing any digging, especially in broad daylight. There’s so much explaining if he just turns up in some wild place, and the police already are not buying/will not be buying that he was abducted.

I don’t know what happened but none of that makes any sense to me. Given that he was upright and mobile that morning, even if compromised, I just don’t understand how this unfolded and was a done deal in four hours.

It was reported that GS was kept out of school on Monday because he was ill, and sm even contacted a pharmacy about an Rx for him.

I think it's possible that sm tricked GS into going with her to various places on Monday -- including an alleged stop to collect a faux Rx. I think sm may have given GS something she said was for his stomach when it was something to disable him before she strangled or smothered GS.

I think both the timeline and sm's character point to her not expending much energy to kill GS when she had a larger task at hand in hiding his dead body.

MOO

ETA: I also think sm could have told GS that they had to go see about selling the couch or something related to coming up with $$ for the house repair he was being held responsible for. She'd probably been chastising him all morning and if GS was slow in getting in the truck-- as described by others, it was probably because he didn't want to go with her.

I’m not a fan of the theory that she injured him so severely on Sunday, that he succumbed to his injuries on Monday.

Logically, that does make a hell of a lot of sense. An act of abuse goes too far, and a child dies (we see that a lot on here).

What troubles me, is that he’d have to be well enough to walk to the vehicle, and then die at some point over the next few hours.

Then we have TS apparently trying to account for blood in the garage. So we’re talking about violence that not only causes internal injuries, but external ones as well.

That’s why I’m still leaning towards murder to cover up abuse, as opposed to an act of abuse that directly resulted in Gannon’s death (albeit delayed).

It’s incredibly unusual, but I think it fits better with what we know.

I'm also not discounting a possible revenge murder. Currently we don't have much information on LS's and AS's marriage or the dynamics in the home but based on LS's msm interviews she doesn't strike me as all that stable.

Weird to quote myself but I wanted to get feedback on those night screen shots. They span from 9:36PM to 11:52PM, can anyone tell what they may be depicting and why?

What I saw was no cars in tbe driveway. 2 people meeting a car/suv in the street coming from east.

Listen to the second video at the link. I didn't recall RD saying what he said. There is also a copy of the misleading FB post from TS.
Surveillance footage could provide clues in search for missing El Paso County boy

The night photo's you are referring to are at 1:22 in the video at link.
El Paso County Sheriff's Office gets new evidence in search for missing 11-year-old boy

Wow, definitely don't remember seeing him say that before! Did you also notice that there was a short clip from his camera on a previous day? Seems to show Gannon & little sis getting out of the truck, I assume with AS because the the SUV is reversing out of the driveway as they get out. Both kids hop out of the truck and scurry across the yard toward the house. Was it included along with the screen of the nighttime pics to show "someone" that they have a lot of footage from before & after that day!?

I suppose that’s possible. What I’m leaning towards, is a pattern of mistreatment by TS towards Gannon.

She made such a big deal about being some saint during that infamous interview. She was like Mother Theresa, saving the needy or something.

She did all these things for Gannon because his own mother wouldn’t or couldn’t. It’s clear to me that TS is incredibly vindictive, and harbors a massive grudge towards LH.

I think she was bitter over being forced to care for Gannon, and saw him as an extension of the woman she so hated.

So if this was done out of revenge or hate, it was directed towards LH and not her husband.

Either way, I think Gannon suffered at this woman’s hand for a long time.

I believe there was an accidental "incident" toward the beginning of this timespan and then the abuse started. I believe in one of his interviews RD also mentions something to the effect that his camera also picks up sound or has good sound quality. You know, like if someone flew off the handle and was verbally and physically abusing someone else? There could have been some loading of items in the truck the night before as well. MOO

Let's pray that there are some good leads in finding our boy, Gannon, tomorrow!

Seems kinda late to be out and about on a school night. If only one vehicle can park in the garage and there are at least 3 vehicles belonging to the household, where are the two that were parked in the driveway on Monday? Musical cars at midnight?

I find the 45 min gap between the top two stills from the evening video recordings. The neighbors cameras will only start recording when movement is sensed so there is a 45min window where there was no activity in from of the Stauch residence (11:07pm - 11:52).

IMO TS injures GS that evening (can’t discuss why I think this here, but I can say my theory is proved when MSM shared the image of the crime lab hauling out the brown recliner). I also think that after she hurt GS badly (not killed him) but had help with cleanup/coming up with plan for what to do with GS so his injuries wouldn’t be seen or reported to authorities. Hence the two vehicles that showed up afterwards.

Perhaps during the 45 min window of no surveillance footage, a trip was made to a nearby shopping place to acquire potential things needed to carry out the cover up plan. Does anybody know if there is a 24hr Walmart or similar type store nearby? IMO & MOO

Now that you mention it, that is a bit unlike NG. You'd think she'd be all over TS and asking lots questions. At the very least asking "Where is Gannon?" But not a peep.

Hmm, hadn’t thought about it but NG is like a bulldog when anyone is suspected of mistreating a kid or of lying their tushes off so I wonder why she’s not all over this case.

I do, too. And that saddens me because he was just an innocent cent child. In that interview she put LH down as soon as she could. She was hateful about it. If she’s going to say that in public about a woman whose child she was in care of, that went missing on her watch, what did she say and do to the child? The children? She just seemed so vindictive.

Another thing, in many missing persons cases, it’s hard to get the attention of the media because let’s face it, sometimes they have the attention span of gnats. One minute they are interested in something, the next they are off to the next shiny thing. So when you get that media attention, you have to use it to the best of your ability, to get the ord out that you have a missing loved one. You need I want the public to care, to become vested, to be looking for the missing person. It’s valuable time.

She had that and she used it to promote herself, not share and get the word out about Gannon. She cared only for herself.

It is so disturbing, I just can’t get past it. It is so not normal. She’s not normal. IMO

Morning here for precious Gannon <3

I found myself wondering if TS honestly thinks she is still going to get away with this???
Considering what we have glimpsed of her personality type and seemingly cold heart, is she going to proclaim her innocence till the bitter end?
Even with a mountain full of evidence against her.
Does she honestly believe she is believed by ANYONE..?
Even her close friends, what about them, I wonder if any of them believe her tall stories...?

 

[ChatteringBirds]

It is so disturbing, I just can’t get past it. It is so not normal. She’s not normal. IMO

When there is someone in a case who doesn't seem to have a conscience, I think, how was it not obvious before?
I have briefly met people I think may be that way but never been close to one AFAIK. Do they really seem normal, until they don't?

So TS did not even really pretend to care as far as is known. I picture everyone on Monday evening frantically searching the neighborhood while she... didn't really. I wonder how frantic she was (or pretended she was.)

 

[Kyte]

I've just seen that Megan Boswell the Mother of baby Evelyn has been arrested on charges relating to giving false information !!
Could that happen to TS does anyone think?
Especially if they don't find Gannon's body soon, and then charge her with more serious offences as the evidence rolls in??

False Statements - FindLaw
Making False Statements: Elements of the Crime

In order to get a conviction on these types of charges, federal prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the:

• Defendant made a false statement or used written materials containing a false statement during a procedure (such as a hearing or interview) within the jurisdiction of a government agency or department (such as the FBI or the U.S. Senate);
• Defendant acted willfully; and
• Statement was material to the business of the government agency or department (i.e. relevant to, and with the potential to influence, its decisions or activities)

Penalties Upon Conviction

Anyone convicted of making false statements in violation of federal statute faces a prison term of up to five years and a fine of up to $250,000. If the offense involves terrorism, anyone convicted of making false statements faces up to eight years in prison.


MOO - It would certainly be a start if they decided to go down this route before gathering enough info for more serious charges!!!!

It might have been part of RD's "I saw them playing outside together on Sunday morning" footage evidence.

MOO I think they do that when they feel they can push the person to confessing or give up the body etc.

what...crime lab...brown recliner....do tell? Actually, you might want to check-this topic -seems it might be a “banned topic”. 1st page has a list under MOD NOTE

 

[Honey_West]

Good morning, all.
Here for Gannon!

 

[Pink2017]

This is the first case I’ve been on WS for and the first case I’ve followed closely. Is it usual for there to be almost nothing released by LE? Makes me think they have a lot of info and don’t need much public help.
I know it’s so complicated, I just wonder with cameras everywhere and a relatively short amount of time he wasn’t seen, why he hasn’t been found yet? I know LE is working so hard. I have a whole new appreciation for them after seeing them searching in those awful conditions day after day. Does anyone think he could possibly be alive somewhere? TS seems cunning. Maybe there is a second person involved. All I know for sure is that sweet boy deserves to come home. His parents and siblings and family deserve that. Breaks my heart daily.

I’ll upvote your sentiments here. LE and the other alphabets involved are working this case, whoever is involved will be going away for a long time... the last two high profile cases were solved and you can be damn sure they’re going for #3.
