Desperate hunt for missing Colorado boy, 11, who vanished after leaving home to visit a friend’s house SEVEN DAYS ago

deputies had guns drawn and told her they were going to shoot her without identifying themselves as law enforcement officers.

Tecia claimed they also refused her water and bathroom breaks, and wouldn't let her have a lawyer as they asked her about the disappearance.

She said: "During that time, some of those things made me feel uncomfortable the way they were saying things.

"So I immediately stopped and felt like an attorney would help me with some of the vocabulary and things like that that I needed help with and understanding some of the things they were asking."

Tecia also claims she has had more than 20 death threats online.

She insisted she would never harm her stepson and had taken care of him for the last two years.

Her husband Al Stauch, Gannon's dad, was reportedly out of town at the time.

He said his son has never run away before and was not like him to walk off.

Thouands have joined "Find Gannon Stauch" Facebook pages over the past week, with hundreds of posts speculating about what happened to him.

The rumors prompted a warning from the El Paso sheriff's office.

It said: "Any information prematurely released that has not been confirmed by the EPSO takes away from this investigation and does not help in locating Gannon."
