Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, Lorson Ranch, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *endangered* #2

When did LE take the Jetta?

approximately 3.5 hrs before the sm 'interview', the day after the parents spoke at the police presser.

According to Google Maps, it's just over 10 miles from Garden of the Gods to the County Jail and another just over 10 miles to Fountain.

True but someone had a vehicle to do that more efficiently. And much further away.

True, but in order to give plausible deniability, even with a car, they couldn’t deviate too far from their normal routine, which would shorten lengths of time they could be gone.

Also, she said they told her they were going to shoot her.

Riiiiiight. The big blue meanies.

I don't believe he ran away.

Even if his home life was a problem, he did have a relationship with his bio mom. He spent time with her. She had joint custody. He didn't need to run away! He could talk to his mom. He probably could have gone there. If he wanted to run away and get to her I could understand but, just running away to nothing makes no sense whatsoever. Gannon had options if he needed to run away or, WANTED to run away.

I do not believe the narrative that is being fed to us at this time. It is nonsensical.

My guess is that there is a ton of stuff going on behind the scenes. LE is actually pretty quiet. They are not tipping their hand but I think this is going to go down the way many of us anticipate.

Unfortunately, I don't foresee a happy ending.

MOO

I just can't believe the stepmom said his mom did not want him!

If she really believes he ran away how could she say such a thing? Knowing he could be listening or at least may eventually see that interview.

With all the emotions and all that the family is going through right now it was the most insensitive thing she could have said.

Oh no moving the command center is troubling IMO
Where is he and is he alive ?

 

[imstilla.grandma]

Ahhhh....what we have been waiting for.

Yes. Movement. Hoping it’s getting ready to go down.

Eta: not an announcement of body found but arrest of SM.

BBM:

Does anyone have a sense of what might lead LE to move the incident command location today?

Is this most likely driven by LE receiving electronic information re: cell phone pings, gps tracking, etc., or what?

I’m not sure, but I’m heartened by the fact they’ve got some credible/actionable leads. Apparently.

something they found or failed to find on the search?

I'm thinking the photo is legit but... TS seems to be carrying the younger child in a backpack carrier and is an older photo ?
Since the youngest daughter is now 7 or 8 ?

No, there is proof out there it is legit photo from the hike.

 

[Megnut]

If my child disappeared, I would fear abduction, seemingly a parent's worst nightmare.

But a child is also in a very dangerous situation if, subjected to say excessive discipline (child abuse), threatens to run away and TELL.

Sadly some children go missing because adults, needing to hide their own bad behavior, panic.

In those cases, "I didn't do it" and "I didn't MEAN to do it" are too close for comfort.

The VW Jetta belongs to the 17 yr old daughter. The way I understood it according to the stepmother in the video, stepmom and daughter were clothes shopping at the store, LE approached and asked the daughter for her car keys assuming they were in daughters purse, stepmom said they weren’t in her purse that she had the car keys in her pants pocket, daughter left the store in handcuffs.

JMHO

Hmmm why were the daughter's car keys in her pocket,and not the daughter's purse????

 

[MsBetsy]

What does this bit mean from most recent press release?
At approximately 2:00 PM, the decision was made to move Incident Command to the Sheriff's Office Training Facility, located across the street from the El Paso County Jail, located at 2743 E. Las Vegas Street, based on information gathered from the investigation.

I wondered the same thing when I read that.
Information gathered from the investigation led them to move the Command Center to a different location?

What information could that be? What could it have to do with moving it to another location?

 

[kittythehare]

Yes. Movement. Hoping it’s getting ready to go down.

Eta: not an announcement of body found but arrest of SM.

If she's arrested, she will never talk. Better by far if he is found first.

I'm completely stumped by this.
If it was a thing her vehicle was postitvely ID'd in an area not local it's likely they would have moved on it before today, they had it from day of interview...

Anyone else curious why the neighbor was the one to call 911? I was just thinking about this, my neighbors wouldn’t know if my kids were gone too long unless I specifically asked them for help looking. Did dad or SM call the neighbor, or is possible the neighbor’s hinky meter was already being set off by other things not said? Strange noises, carrying ons, etc.

How long have they lived there?

That doesn't seem unusual to me. I put my keys in my pocket sometimes because I don't feel like digging around in my bag to find them.

True, but it might help their narrative better if he was found closer.

Dad texted the neighbour, his friend, asking if they had seen Gannon.
The neighbour is a mom, and probably Dad thought her kids may have seen him?

Maybe her car had already been taken by LE and she was driving her daughter's car. I know I like to always drive so if something was wrong with my car, I'd be driving my husband around in his.
