Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, Lorson Ranch, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *endangered* #21

It’s not being selective though.

We have a video that shows only TS returning home.

Couple that with the fact that neither child saw him, no witness spotted him, and no cameras captured him, and everything makes sense.

Add to that the search areas that just so happen to coincide with her bizarre travels that day, and now we have a solid outline to work with.

I consider the above, “what I know.” Gannon left with TS, and something happened to him during that 4 hour time period.

What’s complicated is filling in all the gaps, and having the one person who can do all of that, refuse to cooperate and tell lie after lie.

The what, where, and why may be murky, but the who isn’t.

I was soooo hoping this was actually a very very complex puzzle that involved GS coming home. As a mom I hoped and prayed and I still think many of us are still hoping and praying deep down this baby is coming home. It’s disgusting to think a mom or a stepmom or a grandmother could dispose of a baby or a child or a teen. It happens. Monsters live amongst us. I still pray GS will come home but with all the lies and evidence I just don’t have a lot of confidence.

We don't yet know whether or not "neither child saw him" or if there are other videos showing GS where ever and when ever. We would have to selectively believe what's been communicated by a certain individual. Nope.

We are unable to rely on our own filling in of gaps because we do not yet know enough of what we don't know. What we think we know so far is damning circumstantial against a certain individual but I'm not sure it's enough to convict. As of yet, there has been no perp walk.

Re: lie after lie. What is and what isn't is difficult to prove either way, as there is so much to process. From what we've read, have seen and heard (outside of this forum) we may safely assume something happened to GS in the house and likely by whom. It also seems something happened to GS during the 4 hour trip; exactly what, is the question. I'm not there yet.

Not going to discuss as per rules, but for those unaware there is what is presented as an interview with a neighbour on @kaycritical on twitter. Interview starts at about 55 minutes in.

We have a video that shows only TS returning home. That’s all I need to believe it, and TS now refuting the day and time, completely solidifies that.

This is the pattern in this type of lying. She’s standing in the center of the storm saying, “I have no idea how this happened, and what driveway? plus, he had a bag, I got lost in the area the police decided to search, selfie, the neighbor is confused, and I need an apology because you can’t park a car on top of another car (cleared).”

Haaaaaa. That’s one delicious TS word salad right there.

She’s a tornado of nonsense, and a hurricane of confusion.

No both she reported at different times "being Monday"...

Not according to this report:

Gannon Stauch poses with stepmother Letecia in last known photo of missing Colorado boy

This "most recent" photo was taken on Sunday, January 26.

Hey y'all, honest question, late night, a glass of wine or two deep. I'm a new member. I've checked in here to get perspective on cases local to me over the years, this is the first case I've followed thread by thread. Excuse my ignorance.

A few people have posted within these 21 threads with opinions contrary to popular opinion. Some of these posts have included familiar language, grammar and ideas.

These posters/posts seem to get attacked and called out immediately, sometimes even named.

I've seen people suggest that family members of the missing child should join Websleuths to work through this situation here and provide insight.

I think only one family member has information that could be insightful. If that individual chose to post information here, wouldn't it further the sleuthing endeavors we're partaking in to hear them out? Why shut them down, call them out and identify them as oppose to embracing the insight and information that they could provide?
I'm prepared to get destroyed.

Pray tell.. You are welcome at WS. Most of the posters here are awesome. I’ve put both strange theories and very grounded theories here and have been accepted well for both. Nobody will destroy you here.

I haven't seen that happen but I trust that's what you saw. If the person wants to be a Verified Insider, there are instructions near the top of the Forums and Tricia will interview and verify them - then we will know it's an insider and we will treat them with respect (but I don't think anyone here wears kid gloves).

The only things I've seen called out by a bunch of people at once are posters that state something contrary to the known facts in this case, as represented in the Media and Map thread. There have been many different theories here and they definitely cluster around a couple of key facts, which I think most of us regard as indisputable (eg Gannon is missing and LS is the last person who saw him, as she stated in her words).

We are on thread 21 now
At this point, am I the only questioning as to whether Gannon was really sick? Those words only came from TS, right? It originated with the reason he stayed home from school, right? And then the story seemed to have grown with a lot of 'what ifs' and 'maybes' then TS, who is OBVIOUSLY watching WS and SM expounded on it because she would not be able to take it back.

Correct me if I am wrong on the facts, please - but I have a hard time feeding into the whole 'Gannon was severely sick' thing because it came from a known liar.

‍ *shrug*

I think there is a kernel of truth in all of her many lies.

Gannon's mother confirmed that he does have stomach problems because of meds he needs, from being born so prematurely. And some of those meds give him constipation.

So it is possible he was not feeling that great. And if she lied about calling in to the nurse's line to get meds for him, LE would know that pretty quickly. So she may have actually done that.

But I don't believe he was in pain from constipation, had diarrhoea and was throwing up---because if she told that to the nurse line they would tell her to bring him in to be seen, in my opinion. Those symptoms, all together, could pose a serious risk to a young child.

Please post your thoughts or ideas we are here for one goal and that is to help Gannon get home. If you are serious we are. We are not even family and we care about this little boy so much. We want to help him get home.

If she’s on the Narcissist spectrum (again, no one term ever really describes these people, but for the sake of brevity...), the farce is usually built on a kernel of truth. Whether they’re just not creative enough to fabricate without props, or it’s how they sow seeds of doubt about their guilt, bits of truth are usually there.

Saw the shadow, just don't think its Gannon. For that one iffy thing to be true, nearly everything else would have to be false. Not buying that. Gannon was last seen leaving that morning with T. No one has seen him since.

I was slightly on the fence about that video---until today when I read her newest explanation.

Hearing her say that she never backed in Monday afternoon, and that neighbours video must have been dated wrong.....that convinced me fully that he never got out of the truck when she returned.

 

[Angels27]

New to this thread. Question ? What would the stepmother’s motive be for killing Gannon? Was she on the outs with his father? Was she sick of taking care of him? Anything surface yet to show a possible motive? Reminds me of poor Kyle Horman. That evil stepmother is still free. jmo.

I think she gave LE a nice little nugget. I got off at exit 163.

My theory from the beginning is that she abused him to the point that she knew it would be discovered, and she covered up that abuse with murder.

It’s the only motive that makes any sense to me with the facts that we have.

That cut story was likely to explain blood evidence in her home, and the hate she has for Gannon’s mother makes me believe that she took it out on Gannon.

He was basically a proxy.

 

[katydid23]

listening to @Tricia's broadcast now, Apparently Leigh Egan has confirmed that selfie was taken on Gannon's phone!!!!!!

what time was it taken? Didnt she imply she took it when they returned home?

Right?! She'd been better off sticking to her story (rather than change it).
