The El Paso County Sheriff's Office investigation continued today in the Lorson Ranch area. Deputies re-canvassed Gannon's neighborhood and spoke with neighbors. We did this in a systematic approach to ensure all residents have been interviewed because some may have been away at the time of the initial canvassing. Those who are in the immediate vicinity of an incident may have useful information to provide.
We will continue to search specific areas based on tips and leads in this investigation. The size of the search group can vary at any point during this investigation. The investigation and the search processes will continue to run parallel with one another in hopes of finding Gannon and bringing him back home safely.
To date, we have received 339 tips. Any pertinent information on this case will be put out as the investigation allows. We will continue to share even the smallest update in this case.

The mis-information that is being spread on social media is a hindrance to this investigation and adds an unnecessary additional burden on the family. Any information that is prematurely released and is not directly from the El Paso County Sheriff's Office is not a credible source.
