FOURTH WITNESS: Lt. John Sarkisian with @EPCSheriff was leading many of the searches for #GannonStauch from Jan. 31 - late Feb. Drones, 4-wheelers, horses, prodding poles, K-9's, any tools available they were using. At one point, Parks and Wildlife came out to use sonar.
Some days 20-30 searchers other days over a hundred, according to Lt. Sarkisian. They had to use prodding poles because the snow was soo thick in the area north of Palmer Lake to search for #GannonStauch.
Started search around #GannonStauch home around Lorson Ranch then went to Fountain Creek and North of Palmer Lake. Lt. Sarkisian said they were getting information from #LeteciaStauch vehicle tracker data.
On Perry Park Road, there is an S-Curve and they focused their search one day there. Lt. Sarkisian is looking at exhibits now of the search area and a piece of a plywood board and a closer picture of what is on the board.
A K-9 had alerted to an area next to the S-curve near on Feb.13 near a berm which was 7-8 feet tall. Lt. Sarkisian believed the plywood had blood on it. He tipped it up and put it back down. He said he barely moved it. The defense is asking if the footprints were documented
Lt. Sarkisian said didn't document footprints. There were hundreds of searchers. The defense is asking if there was anything linking the plywood to #LeteciaStauch home. Attorney Tolini asked what the weather was like out there from Jan. 28-Feb. 15. Snow & sunny days. LUNCH NOW
D.A. Michael Allen said they will likely finish their evidence today. He is asking the judge if they can bring #LeteciaStauch back later today. The judge said logistically it will be a hurdle.
