Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, Lorson Ranch, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *endangered* #3

I am hoping this is good news but I also pause because I guarantee LE told that neighbor not to reveal one way or another what exactly he saw. It's very perplexing because it's almost as if he's speaking out of both sides of his mouth. He mentions that "he hopes he's found quickly and brought home safe and that he hopes it gives the family some closure". I'm not sure what exactly that means? I believe he also said he saw the boy playing Sunday. If something went wrong Sunday we still have reports that the Step Mom kept him home from school on Monday due to not feeling well and then allowed him to walk to a friends house to play and he's never seen again? I guess only time will tell...but I have never been so lost.

Isn't that from earlier today? There were a couple of posts saying that CSI is back at the house right now for a second time today and I was looking for something from MSM about that.

I saw it on the live stream, but it hasn’t been posted. No new info really.

Every thread has one:

Cinnamon buns in Kelsey Berreth.

Red shirt in Mollie Tibbetts.

Red car in Jayme Closs.

Baby goat/respirator in Delphi.

Red herrings and nothingburgers.

Hello Kitty was in one...I think it might have been Delphi. And car under bridge.

When @GordianKnot said on page 3 of the 2nd thread: “Is this woman so clouded by her animosity toward GS's bio mom that she transferred those feelings of animosity over to GS?”, the answer is yes.

The answer was yes for my son anyway. My son was raised by his dad & his SM. She hated me so much that she verbally, emotionally & mentally abused my son from the time he was 7 until after he graduated high school.

When my son was 11 until the present day he has had suicidal ideation. It was so bad (it was/is always bad & very very sad but it was even worse between the ages of 11-12) that he had to be hospitalized at a place for mentally unstable adolescents until all of the abuse was confronted by his Drs to his SM & they all had to sign a legal document & had to agree to do family counseling & to get my son his own private counseling. Although it didn’t really help. A little bit here & there his SM would change for a few weeks but she ALWAYS ended up reverting back to her abusive ways.

I don’t want to be one of those parents who only talks about how this has affected them but I do want to say that all of that had to take place the way that it did bc I didn’t have legal custody of my son. It was devastating for me as a parent to be absolutely helpless to & for my son.

I don’t want to get into how angry it makes me & how badly it hurts me bc I’m not trying to make this all about me. I just want to share that it is possible for a step parent to hate the bio parent so much that they would abuse a child.

My child is now in his 20s. He has Stockholm syndrome, is a drug addict & allows women to physically abuse him, emotionally & mentally as well. Among other things.
So although he didn’t physically die by her hands, he is for the most part dead on the inside.

This news not only brought Gannon’s father to tears, but it brought crime scene investigators to his house.

Obviously we can’t get inside the neighbor’s head, but I think what he saw on video has dire implications.

I think he caught the stepmom in a lie, and likely, caught her in the act of committing a crime.

Bad news, anyway you slice it. Gannon isn’t coming home alive.

We knew that though.

I figured as much.....but was trying to be hopeful. It's beyond bizzare how that neighbor describes what he saw? I do agree with you wholeheartedly though!

None of what I’ve read in this new thread makes me feel good about Gannon being safe somewhere.

I’m not liking that LE has new evidence, the video from a neighbors camera or that they were back at the Stauch house for more evidence. No bueno.

This poor child needs to come home to his parents. It’s just sad when an adult trusted with the well being and safety of a child isn’t worthy of being trusted it’s the well being and safety of a good fish. IMO

I feel you. My ex's new wife was not abusive but very neglectful and unmotherly. She made no attempt to even try. She didn't cook for them, do homework with them, bond with them, nothing. I admit I would have been jealous if she'd been awesome, and they'd liked her better than me, but as a mother, I'd have been happy she cared. She was supposedly an ex-nurse (that doesn't seem to be true) and I can't count how many times I got called late at night by youngest who was too afraid to wake her or his dad because he was having an asthma attack and I'd have to drive there and meet him out front with the inhaler I kept at my house. She was emotionally dead to them, and they have never called her their step-mother, only by her first name. They still don't like her now that they're in their 20s. My boys were the baggage she had to endure to snag my rich ex, and she made no effort to make them feel welcome. Sad. Sadder, that it could have been worse, like your situation.

ETA: And, like your child, mine became suicidal, too. Since I'd run out of my life savings over the previous four years fighting for legal custudy (my ex is rich and has connections) I didn't know what to do when he began sending me questions late at night asking if he drank bleach or ate a bottle of Tylenol if it would kill him. broke my already broken heart. So I went went to a school counsellor with assurances of anonymity that they would give him counseling. Instead, they contacted CPS and gave them so much info that CPS gave to the ex that the next day he by his own power removed my shared custody and stopped all court-ordered child support. He lives in a beautiful expensive house, and of course my son was terrified to say anything against his dad or about all the drugs there (including the ones he gave to my 14-year-old son) that he denied and said I was lying. I absolutely forgive him, because his dad terrified me for years, too. So glad they are in their 20s now and we have great relationships, but I will never forgive the ex and his new wife for not caring for my boys like proper parents should. Being rich should never let abusive parents win at the expense of the children. Better to have a poor, but happy childhood with parents that adore you than to be a possession you ignore or abuse. JMO.

My feeling is that maybe what was seen was vague but what was heard was not. The news caster seemed like they really wanted to play the video and were “waiting for the green light from LE”.

I highly doubt the news will SHOW anything that indicates great harm to Gannon out of respect to the family. But if something was said they might. That might also explain why he went from IPad to TV viewing. He might have seen a car leaving, maybe someone talking to someone or on a phone and wanted better audio.

Just a possible thought.

I’m all for holding out hope, if logic allows for it. It just doesn’t here.

I think we hear about an arrest as soon as tomorrow. I think Gannon will be found by the end of the week.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear this. I am dealing with a neighbor who is very similar. The kids are like free range chickens, she's a single Mom, almost never home and completely detached. I can't begin to understand how someone can just leave kids to fend for themselves. Good thing they have great neighbors for support but it's still very sad. Men and her own needs come before the kids. I'll never understand it.

Its really hard to hold out hope, even though deep down we all want the best for Gannon. Common sense and logic superceed hope at this point, unfortunately. I just hope this comes to an end quickly. Gannon deserves swift justice!

 

[Seajay]

I am of the opinion that someone very close to Gannon will be arrested shortly and once that happens, hopefully they begin to talk and Gannon will be returned to his loved ones soon after. It’s not what I had hoped for in this case, but it’s what I now expect. Poor Gannon. JMO

He hopes that the body will be found before Spring thaw, body not desecrated by man or beast and closure is term used when crime is named, arrests and convictions, and body found to be laid to rest.
Child is dead. Neighbor trying to not reveal what he saw per LE requests, but being egged by reporters. Can’t keep everyone happy. Poor guy, but he’s trying.

Things were like that when I was a kid. I had free reign to run wherever in the neighborhood I wanted until it was dinnertime. Things aren't like that now. I never let my boys go free without knowing exactly where they were going, and if they had the other parent's permission, and I would go to pick them up when it was time to go.

When my boys were little, our house was always the house all the kids came to. Boys and girls spent the night often, supervised by me. I enjoyed being around a lot of kids. I was sad that I never really developed friendships with the parents. Mostly, they just used me for free babysitting when they wanted to go on all-night dates. That grew tiring and made me resentful. Like, I could enjoy their children, so why couldn't they? Also, it was never reciprocal. Nobody ever agreed when their kids asked mine to stay the night. I grew quite jaded about WTF people thought parenting was. I think some people just aren't designed to be parents.

I feel your pain, my neighbor is not a good parent, nothing is reciprocated. I am also used as free after school daycare and a meal provider because the Mom is never home. I love the kids like my own and I can't see them fall between the cracks but its getting ridiculous.

I agree, the neighbor is in a very tough spot, he can't please everyone but he's doing the best he can. I'm just glad he cared enough to take the time and attention to sift through his own video footage to find something significant. He deserves major kudos for his efforts! We need more humans like him on earth!

That last sentence by the neighbor says it all... something like hoping Gannon is found soon and brought home safe so to give family some closure...
