Gannon's father is a member of the National Guard, and the Guard is assisting with search efforts.

Due to his age and expected weather, the Major Crimes Unit is assisting in the search because they have more tools at their disposal.
MISSING: 11-year-old Colorado boy, missing for more than 24 hours
 
The department is unaware of additional risk factors aside from age, she said.

"That's really our only concern, that he's so young," Mynatt said. "It's cold outside, it's going to start getting late here soon. We want to find him, get him home and put him in a safe environment."

Stauch did not report to school today, she added.

Deputies are actively searching for the boy in between calls for service, and the case has been forwarded to major crimes detectives. Such a move is made when additional investigative tools, such as the ability to obtain deleted information off a phone, are needed, she said.

Staff Sgt. Zach Sheely, a spokesman for the Colorado Springs-based Colorado Army National Guard 100th Missile Defense Brigade, confirmed to The Gazette that Stauch's father is a member of his unit but could not provide further information.

"Here at the brigade we're taking this extremely seriously and we're doing everything we can to help the family," Sheely said. "We definitely want to encourage anyone with any information to call that phone number and just cooperate with law enforcement."

The family says people have been searching since Monday and have already covered a lot of ground looking all over Lorson Ranch, Fountain, and beyond for Gannon. Flyers have been handed out and posted in a community-wide effort to bring the boy home.

Al Stauch, Gannon's dad, said, "He's not really the type just to walk off."

Search parties formed on Monday night and drones were even brought out to try and find the young boy.

John Wilson took his drone out on Tuesday. He said, "I have the ability and the skills, and the know how to do so. I know the family. The father is military. I spent 12 years in the military so that's a family I know wouldn't let me down, so just doing the same thing."
.......

A little after 10 p.m. on Tuesday the El Paso County Sheriff's Office showed up at Gannon's home. Law enforcement walked up to the home and appeared to be searching in the backyard with flashlights. The garage door was opened and a car was pulled out. We are waiting for an update from the sheriff's office on why law enforcement was there.

"Deputies told 11 News that Gannon Stauch was last seen Monday night at the *advertiser censored* & Go convenience store at Mesa Ridge Parkway. He was wearing a blue jacket and jeans and left his home on foot. However, the sheriff's office later learned the sighting was incorrect. The mom reviewed surveillance footage and confirmed that was not her son.

The last known sighting of Stauch was Monday afternoon between 3 and 4 p.m. in the Lorson Ranch neighborhood at his home. He lives along Mandan Drive east of Colorado Springs near Fontaine Boulevard and Marksheffel. He was reportedly going to visit his friend a few streets away."

"Told my wife he was going to play and then...haven't seen him since," Gannon's father said.

He said Gannon took off for a friend's house on Monday at about 3:30 p.m. Within a few hours, he said his wife knew something was wrong when Gannon didn't come home.

"We kind of do the street light rule - when the street lights come on or it gets dark, they better be home and it was like maybe 30 minutes past that...started to worry at that point. Then I started texting all the friends that we know he goes to and nobody had seen him," Stauch said.

He said Gannon didn't let them know what friend's house he was going to in the neighborhood and that this was "unlike him so that's why we're obviously really concerned."

Eventually, the police were called.

"Once we went through that whole checklist it's like, you know, where could he be?" Stauch said.

The department had previously reported that he was last seen at the *advertiser censored* & Go on Mesa Ridge Parkway in Colorado Springs near Fountain. But upon reviewing surveillance footage Tuesday, his stepmother said the boy suspected to be Stauch was not him.

The great aunt of a missing 11-year-old characterized him as quiet, smart and a "fighter" Wednesday morning as she waited to board a plane from Texas to Colorado Springs, where she intended to meet with law enforcement.

Veronica Birkenstock, whose sister's daughter is the mother of Gannon Stauch, said she hoped to meet with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office in hopes of organizing an official search.

"I'm very grateful to people for going out" and searching, she said, but added that searches should be organized to maximize effectiveness.
...
She characterized Stauch as "a very loving child. Disappearing is totally out of his character; he always has to be with somebody. He's very quiet, very smart."

He was born weighing less than a pound, she added. "He's been a fighter his whole life."

Search for missing Colorado Springs boy gets help from out-of-state family


Stauch's mother arrived in Colorado Springs late Tuesday and spent the night talking to law enforcement, Birkenstock said.

"She doesn't have very much, just what she's been told, that no one has seen Gannon since Monday," Birkenstock said.

She characterized Stauch as "a very loving child. Disappearing is totally out of his character; he always has to be with somebody. He's very quiet, very smart."

<snip>

Stauch's mother, who lives in South Carolina, and father, who was away for military training at the time of his disappearance, share custody, she said.

Information received during an interview with Stauch's stepmother and other information lead deputies to believe he's a runaway instead of a missing person, Mynatt said Tuesday, adding that foul play is not suspected.
