The District One Medical Examiner performed an autopsy on the remains and “tentatively identified” the boy as Gannon Stauch.

Gannon was in the care of his stepmother, Letecia Stauch, when he disappeared from his Colorado Springs area neighborhood. Although Stauch told CrimeOnline she had no idea where Gannon was and claimed she had nothing to do with his disappearance, authorities arrested her earlier this month on first-degree murder and related charges.

Stauch provided CrimeOnline with a car rental receipt that showed high mileage on January 28, the day after Gannon vanished. However, it has not been confirmed whether a rental car was used in connection to where Gannon’s remains were found.

Further, the El Paso Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone Pace or Pensacola areas between February 3 and February 5 to contact them at 719-520-6666 or email tips@elpasoco.com.

Stauch is behind bars without bail.
