Welcome to it's a crime I'm Linda and today we're gonna be talking about a
missing Colorado boy 11 year old Gannon Stauch this is a parent's worst nightmare
happening it said that Gannon left his home last Monday January 27th between
3:15 and 4:00 p.m. from his home just outside of Colorado Springs there are
conflicting times as to when exactly he left but it's somewhere in that time
frame and he left that afternoon to go to a friend's house or that's what he
said according to his stepmom at first authorities said that Gannon was a
runaway as you can see in this picture by the El Paso County Sheriff's Office
now Gannon is four foot nine he weighs 90 pounds he has brown hair and brown
eyes he was last seen in a blue hoodie blue jeans and tennis shoes he wasn't
wearing a jacket and he didn't have his phone wasn't carrying a book bag or
anything like that now he lives along Mandan Drive just east of Colorado
Springs like I mentioned near Fontaine Boulevard and mark Scheffel and the El
Paso County Sheriff's Office said that the person who last seen Gannon was his
stepmother Leticia Stoke authorities changed the status from run away on
Thursday to missing and endangered they did this based upon his age because he
was under 13 the length of time he's been gone and the weather and also the
medication that he needs the change also brings in other resources the FBI is now
involved the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and also other
agencies now Ganon's father L or Albert was away for the weekend for training
with the National Guard he says his wife Leticia knew something was wrong when
Gannon didn't come home for several hours and al says and I quote we kind of
do the streetlight rule when the streetlights come on or it gets dark
they better be home and it was like maybe 30 minutes past that he also goes
on to say started to worry at that point and I started texting all the friends we
know that he goes to and nobody had seen him he also said that it was
unlike him and so that's why they're all really concerned and then eventually the
police were called at 6:55 p.m. he said once we went through the checklist of
where he could be that's when he decided to call the cops
and he also says that Gannon is just not the type to wander off or walk away
so at 6:55 p.m. authorities received a call from the 66 hundred block of Mandan
Drive and they filed a missing-persons report that night and then at 7:32 p.m.
it is stated that it was entered into the database as active now on Monday
February 3rd one week to the day that Gannon has gone missing there is new
evidence that has popped up one of Al's neighbors had pored through some videos
video footage and he had found something and he brought it to Al but at the
request of El Paso County's sheriff's office he's not going to describe or
show it at this time they want to make sure that the investigation will not be
compromised but they did say that it is the break they needed and when the
neighbor went and showed it to Al he broke down and it was also described
that when detectives saw it they were moved as well by it so once they approve
it it will be shared now volunteers have come together in the last week to really
show their love and support and to try and find Gannon there was even children
writing on the sidewalks in chalk saying we love you come home Gannon it was
really touching there was also reports that one guy who
had been in the military for 12 years actually sent a drone up to go look and
he said that because al was part of the military said that I will have his back
so that was kind of cool the entrance to Laursen ranch neighborhood which is
where Gavin's family lives it's decorated with blue which is Ganon's
favorite color and it has the words pray for Gannon in huge letters at the
entrance even his little friends said I love him
I miss him and I want him to come home and be safe he's an awesome little kid
he's handsome and he's my best friend and also another friend said Ganon is a
good friend he's out playing basketball in my front yard on a daily basis so
there's so much love and support even the father was very moved in a press
conference where he said he opened his door at Tuesday morning and literally
300 people were out helping to search for his sons he was very very moved last
Wednesday they did have a vigil held for Gannon at restoration church and the
pastor there says people describe Gannon as a smiling kid a happy kid who just
wanted to come and hang out and have a really good time volunteers were also
putting blue ribbons all around the neighborhood to show their love and
support for Gannon they said that they wanted him to know that they love him
now in that press conference I saw his mother and his father so his mum's name
is Landon and his father el I saw them make a plea just to find Gannon and it
was so much love coming from his mom who just it was heart-wrenching to watch now
something that she said was that he was actually born a preemie he was only 1
pound 6 ounces and his mom said that he really only had a 10% chance of living
oddly enough I have a nephew who was only a pound 11 and he was born at the
23 or 24 week mark and he was teeny tiny his little body was this wide and you
had to actually use one finger to pet him it was he was so fragile and so tiny
and they said the same thing that it was very dangerous he might not make it
he might have severe delays but like Gannon she said that he's brilliant he
doesn't have any sort of things that have happened to him delay wise I can
because it can happen and same with my nephew so that was kind of a neat thing
just to hear that he's a fighter so that's really really good to hear that's
that's really good to hear now the stepmom like
Teesha also had an interview however she had her back turn to the camera and she
voiced her opinion about getting death threats and about some other things like
being in the interview room and not being able to go to the bathroom and she
had expressed that she wanted to have a lawyer to help her with some of the
vocabulary that they used and just to be safe I guess and she was denied that so
she was quite upset she was defending herself quite a bit but what really
struck me as odd and I don't want to get too much into it but what was odd was
that she was talking about she wasn't able to be in her own home I thought
that was weird but maybe because she's not biologically
related I'm not too sure if you guys know the Colorado State laws and how
that works just let me know in the comments below cuz I found that a little
bit weird and she does mention that Al's ex-wife Landon was staying there and she
said that she wasn't able to go there so that was a little bit weird for me and
she says my husband's ex-wife is living in our house she also said I took care
of Gannon for the last two years in our home because his mother didn't want to
and then she also says and I would never ever hurt this child I don't want to get
too much into it about that I think everybody is in pain of some sort
probably doesn't feel too good if she's being blamed for something that she
didn't do I don't know if she did or not but it wouldn't feel fun if you're
innocent and you're getting blamed and you probably feel not that great because
you're the last person to see the child right to see Danone so I I don't want to
make any opinions right now but I want to give you the facts and I will put the
link below so that you can see that interview if you like also today
investigators actually went back to Ganon's home and did quite a lengthy
search from what I was reading investigators went into the home with
gloves and came out with bags of evidence so I'm sure we'll start to hear
more soon hopefully so between Meenu
footage that was found of Ganon and then the house being inspected today or
evidence gathered there hopefully that'll give them the break they need to
find out what the heck is going on this little boy doesn't have a phone he
doesn't have a jacket he just has a hoodie on and from my understanding it's
getting quite cold in Colorado now his stepmom did talk about them going on a
hike that day and then going to Burger King she did ask her older daughter to
stand with her on camera and state that she did see Ganon that day after they
went on the hike and the place that they went to is very beautiful we'll find out
more about that I'm not gonna get into it too much into this video but it is
very beautiful there now the Sheriff's Office is accepting applications for
volunteers and I will put the link below so if you are interested you can apply
