Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 **ARREST** #47

[PaulaDC]

Wow, in the letter to daughter HH she said, and underlined, “just keep normal and focused.” Wth does she mean by that? This definitely sounds like targeted instructions to me.

And why would they give an escape risk inmate a pen or pencil??? They can easily use it to stab guard in eye.

That'll be next week's drama.

Found Deceased - CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 **ARREST** #47
5/19/20 Update: The Court GRANTS Stauch’s Motion to Continue Preliminary Hearing. While the Proof Evident Presumption Great & Preliminary Hearing are VACATED, the June 5, 2020 9:00 a.m. appearance date WILL REMAIN ON THE DOCKET and this matter will proceed to a status conference to determine the best method for proceeding forward in light of current conditions (COVID-19).

COVID-19 court procedures: Only 12 people will be allowed inside the courtroom during the status conference, and only one of those will be a pool reporter for all four of our local stations.

6/4/20 Update: A new case #2020CR3170 - Solicitation to Commit Escape has been filed. The matter will be taken up at the 6/5 status conference. According to the affidavit, Stauch is classified as “Segregation from All,” meaning she will not be moved around jail with other inmates. Stauch is also classified as a full restraint escape risk, meaning she will not be transported outside of the facility without full restraints being placed on her wrists and ankles and her wrists will be secured to a belt around her waist. Escape: Advisement hearing on 6/5/20. And status hearing on Gannon’s murder on 6/5/20 both at 9am.

Almost described as a wild and dangerous animal.. requiring so many ropes and shackles.. she's gone into reckless mode, she's been inside a while and she's going for it, full on...
Her true nature emerged for all the world to see.
She's gone full dark,not even pretending any more.
Dangerous woman.
She will probably spend her entire life in solitary.. hannibal lecter ish, just sayin'..
She just reduced her fellow inmates to objects she might find useful....
Filters gone entirely.
Past fear.

I think it is likely she will try to kill again while incarcerated, just for the hell of it...

 

[Holmob]

I bet she’ll try and talk herself out of this one! She really thought a broom handle was going to be the trick. Her brain was working overtime on this failed escape.

Could a broomstick really break a jailhouse window? Then so could a shoe. I would think LE would have that all figured out and that they can't be broken that easily. I sure hope so.

Maybe she thought she could use it as leverage to pry something open? Would need to see the exact window and whatever is outside it..
I wonder whether she has somebody on the outside, apart from family that she is confident will assist her?
Crazy making.

Only in Tecia's head....


I imagine the things we hear in the upcoming hearings - or when the trial starts - will be jaw dropping.

I'm not 100% sure I can post this, because it's my own knowledge and not MSM but (so delete if not okay)

The picture I posted earlier, is 100% the same type of window she would have tried to escape out of and not to mention at El Paso county jail they do rounds every 15 minutes. (idk if this is the same everywhere)

So even if she got this window open with a broom (unlikely) and then proceeded to jam her bobble head out of this window and somehow did it in less than 15 minutes....

that would be amazing.

not to mention her needing to escape the grounds in this time as well. Couldn't tell you what kind of security is outside though.

 

[kkdj]

I hope and would think she's being held under top security.
If not before, they know now.

we would need a clearer notion of which window exactly she was intending mobilising?
Could have been a window she could access during her outdoor hour...
but she would have needed help from outside too, she would have needed a contact and a way to access them easily or a pre-planned date and time..?

Who knows,

she doesn't seem like too much of a logical thinker.

Maybe she was hoping Eguardo would help her out.

 

[BeckyF]

Does anyone know who notifies the defendant of the new charges? Is it her attorney? Or an official from the jail? TIA.

 

[kkdj]

I have to wonder, what exactly did she put Gannon through BEFORE she killed him?

I am so glad she was caught and arrested.

I'll bet his younger sister is a star witness.

 

[lonewanderer]

Was it ever clarified how Gannon's body made it to Florida? I have a theory...*WARNING POSSIBLY DISTURBING*









We know that Gannon's body was found in a suitcase in Florida. We know that Tecia had visited the airport. Is it possible that Ticia had an accomplice who was took a flight to Florida, so that Gannon's body could be checked in as luggage inside the suitcase, so that the body could later be disposed of in Florida? To me, this sounds like a Tecia type plot...thinking that no one would ever make the connection that the body found in Florida belonged to Gannon. It makes me incredibly sick to think about the entire process, the people who may have been so close to Gannon's body on the flight and at the conveyor belts, the loading and unloading crews who handled the suitcase, the act of taking said suitcase through the airports and transporting it after.

 

[GRT]

you forgot this gem, which I’m guessing is going to get HH a visit from some law enforcement officials and lawyers:

she also wrote and underlined in the note for HH to ‘keep normal and trust [Letecia] on this’, which true or false, is making me rethink my earlier opinion that it was precipitate to call HH out as an accomplice.

It sounds like she has done just that - set up HH as an accomplice; or maybe, ‘aka fall girl’. Otherwise what does HH have to pretend for?

Yes, the wording certainly seems to suggest she's either setting HH up as an accomplice or maybe she actually is an accomplice. HH might still not be talking, which means covering for TS. Or, TS could be covering for HH. They were extremely close, as evidenced by the AA that stated HH would not talk to officers. JMO MOO, of course.

 

[GRT]

So I'll just make an assumption to say that she must still be on good terms with HH if she was bothering to leave such a "caring" note behind for her! I was holding out hope that HH would do the right thing and cooperate, but I'm adding this to my list of doubts about that!

MOO JMO

I agree. HH knows more than she's saying. JMO MOO

 

[kkdj]

I wonder if she's competent to stand trial.
Competency to Stand Trial

Yeah, it *could be* innocuous... as in, "don't let on that I have a wealthy escape plan for us"; but then again, if the person in question *were* a known conspirator, the phrasing certainly sounds suspicious. "Don't let on that you know!" "Psst - make sure that you don't trip anybody's radar!"

Bringing this over from the media thread @Alice253 - you do have time to edit your post. DBM or you could post this link that I was about to
Letecia Stauch charged with solicitation to commit escape

Thank you!

I think they would be incredibly dangerous together.
And yes, it would be an interesting experiment.

A great idea for a new reality show. JA and T, sharing a cell!
