"Why not take it as hello that's my son, this is a great memory of things they have done"
"That's how I think of it"

Call ended


The post (and repost) is much appreciated. The above words bolded by me sound like T presplaining that if we ever hear she has been with an ex-boyfriend, we're to be confident that it was all in the name of seeking justice. Every time she tries to blame shift, she trips herself up with awkward silences, Freudian slips, and acres of word salad.
Why is it the perps always say they aren’t helping search because they are doing their own investigating? She stole that from Casey Anthony. Remember how hard Casey searched for Zanny the Nanny?
 
If you don't agree with someone's posts, you can put them on "ignore".
That way you don't have to read them.
Facts of crimes don't benefit from being sanitized -- but you can just ignore them.
True crime isn't pretty either and doesn't come laundered of all of the terrible realities surrounding the crime.
I appreciate your not wanting to know the possible facts , and I seem to have hit a nerve with you --that wasn't my intent.

We really shouldn't be telling others how to post, but maybe that's been ok now ?
Rules change now and then.
This is a true crime site and we are allowed to speculate.
I do think that TS is that evil.
Why buy the 3 large dog coats (according to the employee) ? They have two small dogs.
This is also a theory and a sleuthing site and a good one.

I think Lunatik was referring to you giving a graphic warning. I agree, no need to do that. We're all adults on a true crime forum.
 
Wait, do we have confirmation it was 3 large dog coats?
Wonder if he will be found wrapped in the dog coats. There is definitely a connection between the petco trip, the dogs, and Gannon. I thought it was that he would be found near a dog park, but it may be that she has "buried" him in the dog coats which in her mind I am sure would think people wouldn't look for.
A tarp, or garbage bags etc would be the obvious things to use for a deceased body. Not dog coats. We already know she thinks she is smarter than most.
Agreed.
And your post was even more graphic than mine.
It's possible that she buried him like you said but I think he was dead by that time, as she shouldn't want to risk someone finding him and rescuing him.
Whatever the truth is, it will be very difficult to understand what made this monster the way she is.
 
I think Lunatik was referring to you giving a graphic warning. I agree, no need to do that. We're all adults on a true crime forum.
You may be right but it sounded like they do not want anyone to speculate on any graphic details because they cannot handle it.
This is a true crime forum and even the most graphic posts her are mild compared to the actuality of the crime and what the investigators and first responders to a crime scene have to see and put up with.
I'd imagine those in that field have struggled with ptsd.
 
There is an ignore feature or a thing called scroll and roll if you do not like what somebody is posting. I find it so rude that some people constantly makes comments about the content of other post. Not everybody has the same thought process. Some visualize things, some are good at reading, others work through situations by writing. Everybody is different, and that is what makes this site so great. If you dislike what somebody post ignore or skip it. I am amazed that some people still participate on this forum by the ways other talk to them, and I'm glad they do participate. Just because people you (general term) don't like the way a person may type things, doesn't mean others don't. I couldn't imagine being so rude to others.
 
Ya know? Iffin ya don't have 3 pet coats at home in the house to be found, chances are you were never there! Besides, what's with the THREE pet coats when you have TWO dogs?

MOO,MOO

I believe someone said Petco was having a buy 2, get one free deal on pet accessories that week and we know TS is economically minded :rolleyes:

My theory is the dog coats aren't there, because she returned them when she went back to the store the 2nd time later in the afternoon! Even though she's hesitant to talk about Petco, she doesn't deny going there twice when she's asked about it in the phone call.
Petco is her big alibi. Bet she told the employee "I tried them & they don't fit my dogs!" She's seen on camera again (remember she has to account for being out for 4 hours,) and still has the receipt for the purchase just in case! In TS's mind this would be a sensible alibi and it was a store where most likely no one would recognize her & she could get on/off I-25 easily. She probably even thought it would sound believable to AS if he ever asked her about it.

MOO JMO
 
Agreed.

It's pretty difficult to dig into Colorado's clay soil when the ground is frozen. I agree and don't think she buried him.
 
I tried to put together thoughts about TS's phone interview. Thoughts are not in order. Thanks to everyone.

Please add more.
÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷


She also did not want to answer about the dogs coats. Not at all.

Yes, it is suspicious that she seems to avoid any mention of Petco. She didn't mention it in her interview when she was rambling about going to the Sports store and when she was asked about it in the phone interview there was a long silence before she answered, and she never did reveal what she bought or why she went back a second time.

Something is definitely up with Petco. She’s way too nervous talking about it. Something is up with it!

Well the PetCo question really seemed to stump her, so what’s up with that? For someone who can’t shut her mouth and has an explanation for everything, including blood evidence and how a bloody board went airborne and landed where LE later searched, she can’t field a question about Petco and got defensive about dog coats?

It sounds like the female made some accusations about LS online and LS reached out to her because of it.
She has very quick answers ready for where Gannon could have gone or for bashing Landen, but very slow, hesitant answers when talking about Petco. She doesn't want to talk about it.

TS: "Any interaction I would have come into touch with, I've written everything down"
"Go through my phone"
"I'm not being insensitive"
"I;m not going and looking in ponds because they took my car and I can't do it"
"Everybody search search search. How do I get past where do I search and what do I do?"

The main thing I took from that call is that LS felt very burdened by taking care of the stepkids with AS frequently out of town for work. She also mentions being closer to L**** than Gannon, because GS was more attached to LHs family having spent more of his life with them vs. Laina who had been with LS and AS since she was 2.
T talking about the truck shadow.

TS: “Police have forensics where they can see a heat source”

It creeped me out hearing LS say “I’m not searching in a ditch or pond”. I have a feeling those are the exact areas LE should be searching.

She says gps led to the searching in the snow. She pretty much admits she was in the area then backtracks slightly in saying they are tracking her movements from the past weeks.

Talks about bike again…it was a present for Valentine’s Day

TS: "Why no reward?"
Silence re: reward/not being able to post reward

She told them she went to Petco but did not have phone on her the only way they knew I went to Petco is because I TOLD THEM

TS: "They all made us leave the house, they have my car, no passport, something about a second job? Not being able to work
nothing will break me because I am innocent...…..
anniversary was a month ago we were going on a cruise."

[Shadow] she got animated and defensive too. I was 90% sure he was never on video coming back with her and now I'm 110% convinced.

I think the main thing that comes across is her utter hatred and disdain for Landon. My Goodness, it is truly jealousy of the highest order. She suggests repeatedly that Landon is behind his disappearance, and yes - that refusal at the end to even consider her [LH] emotions...

TS: "They think thats going to break me, but they aren't going to break me because i am innocent. They can take everything from me, but when you take something that is a person that can't be replaced, people cannot function like that, so take all my other things, but know that my heart is hurting. My mentality is to always think next step"

TS: "I have already gotten over who has done this and why and I've put that behind me. At this point, I want to keep all my faith in knowing that he is ok"

TS: "I also know Gannon", and "I know that if he was doing something with someone", and hanging out, "he was probably quickly played". He would normally come straight home"

TS: "You don't want to say people have favourites, Laina been with me since she was 2. Gannon is favourite for his Nana"
He was immature, he didn't want to go to puberty class"

TS: "More and more I've said the last 3 weeks like ripping everybody I thought that even people in the past might have talked to or allowed, past boyfriends or something, I went to investigate these people and I"ve been doing it, Thats the mode I"ve been in" [not searching for GS]
I'm going to this lady I already knew of her from the neighbourhood and I want to get her help and I think that she could help me in the right direction, thats kinda what I'm working on" [not finding HS, just find help for her].

TS: "Im not going to play into that, you're not going to tell me that video is distasteful. I'm not removing it.
Video is of Gannon waving good bye
"waving hello or goodbye is pettiness"
"Going to leave it there because I am not going to appease her" [wow]
"Why not take it as hello that's my son, this is a great memory of things they have done"
"That's how I think of it"

She Hasn't been able to do anything emotionally because she has had to talk to FBI, and this person and yada yada yada yada...."

TS:" Can't say too much about digging in the snow. Simply because our GPS pinged"
"Every area I was in for a week"
"Some of the places that I've seen I didn't even go"
"I went to the Douglas Country area to buy a bike for valentines day, but I never went to some of these places that they're looking. I think it's precautionary"

TS:""Buying 3 dog coats?"
"I went to Petco"
"Because I told them (laughed) told them to go get the camera footage"
"Wouldn't have known I was at petco if I hadn't have told them, I left my phone at home"

She is very hesitant when it comes to Petco.

The most interesting takeaway would be Petco. She clearly did NOT want to talk about why she went there. She steered the conversation back to Play it Again Sports and heading to Castlerock to look at a bike for Al. Why is Petco so uncomfortable to talk about for her? Particularly since she herself told LE she went there?

TS:" Im not okay"
"No, we all had to leave the house, they have my car they have everything, I don't have my passport, I can't do anything because they have it"
"They think thats going to break me, but they aren't going to break me because i am innocent"

TS: "They can take everything from me, but when you take something that is a person that can't be replaced, people cannot function like that, so take all my other things, but know that my heart is hurting. My mentality is to always think next step"

TS: "I have already gotten over who has done this and why and I've put that behind me"

I notice she didn’t want to answer anything about the alleged second trip.
Yup, I thought the same thing as I listened to that part. She made a HUGE deal about being the one to tell LE that she went there & they wouldn't have know if she didn't tell them because she didn't have her phone. *As if we didn't already know why she intentionally left her phone at home, she tells us again in the conversation!
Not only that, LS looks even worse for denigrating the distraught mother of a missing child. No one likes a bully, or worse, a vindictive smear campaigner during a tragedy. She’s disgusting.
I think I only heard her mention his name once toward the end of the conversation.

She's definitely pissed LE have tracking "pings" from the area where they were sifting and "digging" in the snow. I got a strong feeling that she wants us/them to forget about that area. Kind of "move along, nothing to see there." So I'm guessing she knows there's stuff there and is worried about what they've found.....but trying to assure the caller there's no reason for them to search there.

Tecia initially did not want to say she went to Petco. The friend repeats her question and tries to nail her down by saying to went to the Petco store twice and were looking out the window acting weird. Tecia says, do you know why I went to Petco? She says she told LE to go get the camera footage at Petco, she didn't even have her phone with her, so they wouldn't have even know she was there. Goes on to say everyone is playing internet detective. Tecia def skirts the issue of Petco and why she went there, never mentions what she bought or where Gannon was when she was in the store. Super hinky ...

Female ask Tecia what she thinks happened to Gannon? Tecia wants to keep faith he is ok, but she thought if Gannon was just out there he would have come home already. He would have said oh my gosh I'm going to lose my "technology" for a whole entire year, I better go home now.

Tecia goes on to say how Gannon is Landen's Mom's favorite. But Laina has been with Tecia since she was two. Since his Nana has not heard from Gannon, she would be the person he would reach out too if he was just gone and not wanting to come back home.

TS is trying to convince the caller instead of just conversing or answering.

TS’s comments “No I’m not going to fall into that, I’m not going to appease her, that’s just pettiness . That’s a picture of THEM on vacation.Why take the approach to see it as waving goodbye? Why not see it as waving Hello with his sister and hey that’s my son , I love him , these are great memories, these are great things that they’ve done”.

Good Lord TS is hateful.
Also, when she did that to her picture and was called out on it , she said she was HACKED! Now she’s on record defending it.

If it weren't so serious, the part about the reward would have been hilarious. She clearly had nothing to say about why a reward wasn't being offered, after bragging about her $180,000/year dual family income. Spoiler alert: That's because she had no explanation. Because she hadn't once thought about working it into her alibi scripts.Because she doesn't want Gannon back; and/or knows she's not going to get him back; thus why would anybody think about a reward. It may, in fact, have been the only notable time Tee was silent during the entire phone conversation.

She admits going to Petco, but is VERY hesitant to talk about it. Sounds agitated & very defensive at this part of the conversation
-When asked why she went to that Petco that was far away when there were several closer to her house:
"The reason we went that ways because we were going to talk to someone about
the Play It Again Sports and the bike. So if I went to that Petco I'm sorry they're all
freaked out that it's the wrong Petco!"
*NO mention of getting hockey equipment for Gannon!
-Ignores the question, but doesn't deny going to Petco twice 2 hours apart
-Doesn't deny buying 3 dog coats
"So I'm guilty for buying 3 dog coats?"
-Says she's the one that told LE that she went to Petco. They wouldn't have known because she didn't have her phone "on me."

Aside: Tecia already thinks she’s a flight attendant, because there’s also some blather about “I can’t even go to my second job, because everything is still at the home including my passport” (no, I am not making this up. I wish I were!)
this is one thing that she contradicts. She says they are searching because they are following her gps. But then she says they wouldn’t have known she went to petco if she hadn’t told them. Huh?

She also lacks self-awareness and that's why she doesn't even realize how she appears to others.
QUOTE FROM PHONE CALL--
"I have already gotten over who has done this and why and I've put that behind me"
OMG-- WTH does that even mean ??? LOL
She changes the subject more and more with each interview, she hesitates to answer, especially the Petco questions.
Then she talks about a lady in the neighborhood to help with something ??? Sheesh.
I just can't anymore.
All I want to hear pertaining to LS is the word "GUILTY" from the jury.
Ikr?!!!!

"I have already gotten over who has done this and why and I've put that behind me"

Below is an awesome article I read a while back. Its about how our choice of words says things about our personality.

Her choice of words ate going to lead her to the gallows....

What Your Choice of Words Says about Your Personality
 
Regarding televised court appearances in the state of Colorado, my only reference is the Chris Watts case. His advisement, arraignment then sentencing were televised. Now for a defendant who pleads not guilty and proceeds to trial, could we expect a televised verdict then sentencing?

You may be right but it sounded like they do not want anyone to speculate on any graphic details because they cannot handle it.
This is a true crime forum and even the most graphic posts her are mild compared to the actuality of the crime and what the investigators and first responders to a crime scene have to see and put up with.

JMO. I like being warned that something is graphic. True crime site or not. And yes I am an adult. So thank you.
