Gannon’s stepmom faces new charges after body found 2,000 miles from his home
GANNON Stauch’s stepmom is facing new charges after the 11-year-old’s body was found in Florida – 2,000 miles from his Colorado home.
Letecia “Tecia” Stauch allegedly murdered Gannon and hid his remains after reporting him missing on January 27.
Senior DA Michael Allen told the latest development in Stauch's case "absolutely changes things."
“His smile, even today, is keeping us going. His infectious smile brings me joy every time I think about it.”
Gannon's dad against Stauch after her publicized arrest, PEOPLE reports.
His estranged wife was taken into custody earlier this month in South Carolina following an intense search.
El Paso County Sheriff said the office was contacted by the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office in Florida after they responded to a call about a dead male in Pace, according to a press release.
Although Gannon was initially thought to be a runaway
Cops indicated Stauch may have been in Florida from February 3 to February 5.
Authorities believe she was with Gannon at their Colorado home when he went missing but he hasn't been seen since.
She told investigators that Gannon was going to a friend's house.
Surveillance video captured by one of Stauch's neighbors revealed she left with Gannon in a truck before returning four hours later in what looked to be an empty vehicle.
Her next court appearance is set for April 14 in Colorado Springs.
Anyone who may have seen Letecia Stauch in Pace or Pensacola in early February is asked to contact the El Paso County Sheriff's Office Tip Line at (719) 520-6666 or email tips@elpasoco.com.
