Sergeant Rosario Hubbell is the next witness to testify. In January 2020, he was assigned to the major crimes unit with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.
Rosario described how the investigation evolved throughout the days, saying it began as a missing persons’s and runaway case.
He testified saying investigators “started to get a lack of cooperation from Mrs. Stauch who was the reporting party.” He said all the detectives who were available began working on this case.
Rosario said on February 3, 2020, investigators found blood evidence on the walls in Gannon’s bedroom, on an electrical socket, etc.
Some evidence was visible, and some evidence was not easily visible to the human eye. He said the carpet where Gannon’s bed was, was saturated, and there was a stain on the concrete when he pulled the carpet up.
Rosario said it appeared that the blood had been heavily cleaned up. Rosario said they then used a chemical to detect for iron and blood around the Stauch home and in Gannon’s room.
Investigators found iron/blood droplets in many areas of the home, including the garage floor, living room floor, laundry room, on a door handle, steps leading to the downstairs, the storage room floor, floor leading to Gannon’s room, etc.
In Gannon’s bedroom, dozens of blood evidence hits were found. They were found on the walls, on the carpet where his bed was located, on the concrete under the carpet, etc.
We also saw video taken from Sergeant Hubbell on February 25, 2020. He walks around the home and talks about where positive blood hits were found.
