Body Found Along Roadway Believed To Be 11-Year Old Colorado Boy
March 21, 2020
A body found Tuesday afternoon along Highway 90 on the Santa Rosa end of the Escambia River Bridge has been tentatively identified as a missing 11-year old boy from Colorado.
Gannon Stauch, 11, was reported missing January 27. His stepmother, Letecia Stuach, stands accused of his murder; she was arrested March 2 in South Carolina. She’s now back in Colorado, charged with first degree murder, child abuse resulting in death, tampering with a deceased human body and tampering with physical evidence.
Road construction workers found the body about noon Tuesday, and an autopsy has tentatively identified it as Stauch. Authorities have not said how the body got to Santa Rosa County.
Anyone that may have seen Letecia Stauch in the Escambia or Santa Rosa county areas is asked to call during the February 3-5 timeframe is asked to contact the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Tip Line at (719) 520-6666 or email tips@elpasoco.com or call Santa Rosa County Crime Stopper stoppers at (850) 437-STOP.

Death, and quickly, to all that abuse and kill children. For it to become the norm and not punished properly, is insane. Justice has got to change its punishment for these crimes. Evil is stealing our children and easily! They are helpless beautiful children. Please pray for our justice systems will wake up and stop literally excusing these crimes.
Public execution for these types. Child molesters, heinous child abusers, should all be put to death by hanging in public. Its is the ONLY deterrent because without death penalty these disgusting crimes have become the norm now. We see it way to much now. To effect true change you must put the sinners to death – in public for all to witness.
I’ve been following this case too and was shocked to hear Gannon was found here. Didn’t even occur to me that she could’ve traveled this far with him. Thank God his parents are able to have some level of peace knowing their baby boy is back home and lay him to rest properly. Letecia is truly a monster for what she’s done to Gannon. I’ll never understand how she or anyone could ever harm an innocent child.
WHAT EVER SHE DID ,TO GANNON SHOULD DONE TO HER !HE IS A VERY SWEET CHILD . SHE IS TRULY THE DEVIL! SO SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This child suffers no more at the hands of a despicable woman, he is in the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father…Bless his soul Dear God in Jesus’s name..amen.
I wondered what all the LE vehicles and construction workers were doing when I came across the bridge that afternoon. Sad story.
Colorado will have her doing community service for a year and ten years probation.
I hope she rots in hell.
Woman should be hung along with all child abusers and killers.
This is truly shocking. I’ve been following this case since January and for Gannon to turn up in Pace is unreal. RIP Gannon!
