<div>Authorities in Colorado Friday announced that human remains found in Florida have been &#8216;tentatively identified&#8217; as 11-year-old Gannon Stauch.<br />
The boy went missing from the Colorado Springs area on January 27.<br />
Stauch&#8217;s stepmother, Letecia Stauch, 36, earlier this month was booked into the El Pasp County jail on counts of first-degree murder, child abuse resulting in death, tampering with a deceased human body and tampering with evidence.<br />
The El Paso County Sheriff&#8217;s Office said they were contacted by the Santa Rosa County Sheriff&#8217;s Office in Florida on Wednesday about the remains of a boy recovered in Pace, north of Pensacola<br />

<div>The District One Medical Examiner performed an autopsy, which led to today&#8217;s announcement.<br />
&#8216;We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the friends and family of Gannon,&#8217; a press release from the sheriff&#8217;s office stated.<br />
<span style="color: var(--color-text);">Letecia Stauch was arrested in South Carolina on March 2 and was later extradited back to Colorado to face charges of murder of a child under 12 years of age by a person in a position of trust, child abuse resulting in death and tampering with a dead body.<br />
</span>She originally told authorities that she last saw her stepson between 3.15pm and 4pm on January 27. She said at the time that he was heading to a friend&#8217;s house in Colorado Springs.<br />
Gannon was originally categorized as a runaway, before his case was upgraded to that of a missing/endangered person.<br />
But on the day of Letecia&#8217;s arrest in South Carolina, police announced they no longer think he is alive.</div>

</div>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Police have not yet laid out their theory on what happened to him or where they believe he is.<br />
Gannon&#8217;s father Albert released a statement at the time to say he was shocked by the news.<br />
&#8216;My little boy is not coming home. We will never play Nintendo again. No more taco Tuesdays. No more smooth-looking hair cuts. And no more G-man for the world.<br />
&#8216;The person who committed this heinous, horrible crime is one that I gave more to anyone else on this planet, and that is a burden that I will carry with me for a very long time,&#8217; it read.<br />
Surveillance video from a neighbor&#8217;s home captured Stauch leaving the home with Gannon in her pickup truck at around 10.13am on January 27.<br />
However, when she returned at 2.19pm, Gannon is nowhere to be seen.<br />
Footage from 2.19pm to the time Gannon was reportedly last seen is not available, but the sheriff&#8217;s office said earlier that officers had no surveillance video showing the boy leaving the property.<br />
After he watched the video, a friend said the boy&#8217;s father &#8216;just broke down and started saying &#8216;she lied, she lied about the time.&#8217;<br />
In an interview before her arrest, Letecia insisted she had nothing to do with the boy&#8217;s disappearance or death.<br />
&#8216;After news of the video broke, Stauch gave an interview to KKTV, insisting that she played no part in her stepson&#8217;s disappearance.<br />
&#8216;I took care of Gannon for the last two years in our home because his mother didn&#8217;t want to do it,&#8217; she said.</p>
