I honestly can’t recall many cases of a missing child - under the age of 12 - where LE has given so few details, updates or press conferences about the disappearance. I’m certainly not telling WPD how to do their job, but it’s becoming frustrating. I’m sure they have their reasons and are working hard behind the scenes. It’s extremely rare that LE doesn’t ask residents to check their property, outbuildings, etc. Finally, the family and I discussed it and decided we would make a personal plea to the public. There’s an incredibly dedicated team on WS who has been instrumental in getting the word out to locals. The media picked it up (thankfully) and that helped spread the word. http://www.kansas.com/latest-news/article204521784.html
I feel strongly that WPD needs to make some sort of announcement regarding the status of the case (aside from the same phrase we keep hearing, “It’s still an active investigation.”. We’re not asking for details that will hinder the investigation, but the public needs an update.
MPN did a recent post and included the Wichita Eagle article detailing the CINC petition and court filings, along with photos of Lucas’ with various bruises all over his body. The post reached 900k people with 10k reactions/comments. It was very disheartening to read over and over, “They still haven’t found him?” or “He’s still missing?”
The people on this WS thread have been wonderful and have helped keep Lucas name out there. I can’t thank you all enough for all you’ve done [emoji172]
I pray Lucas is found soon!!!
Im way back here on page 28. IMO what he is saying is that no one is looking for his living son Lucas. Iirc JH has said that he believes Lucas is alive. So while searches are being done and many efforts being made to find him, most of us are searching to recover his disposed of remains. JH wants to find the kidnapper and his living son. JMOThis face book statement from yesterday doesn't sound like JH is happy with the police investigation.
" I cant begin to explain how agonizing it is, as a parent, to know nothing is being done to find out who is responsible and where Lucas may be."

In the very very beginning and IIRC about a week or 2 tops after LH went missing the biggest most important phrase LE kept repeating was asking Everyone to keep sharing his picture. I believe it was KAKE that continually had a live loop of his missing person flier live streaming.I honestly cant recall many cases of a missing child - under the age of 12 - where LE has given so few details, updates or press conferences about the disappearance.

At that time and even now I go back to the possibility from LE actions and words and really wonder if they believe he may have been trafficked?
Does anybody have any new ideas about how we find Lucas? This was posted about five threads back:

Perhaps the following has already been done, but I've had this thought for awhile now, and since you asked . . . Drive to the rental house from which Lucas went missing. If possible, sit and reflect for a few moments (I realize that may not be possible). Go whatever direction you feel led to go, whichever way a murderous stepmother may have gone in a panic, trying to rid herself of a dead body. Stop at any culvert, storm drain, creek, drainage ditch, overgrown area, etc., that comes across your path.Repeat this sequence for every route away from that house, within a five mile or so radius.I don't know what the protocol is for first responder searches. But I always think they should begin at the last known location and the searchers should look up, to see if any birds are circling anywhere. And keep looking up as the search widens over the next few days. Does anybody know if such a thing is standard practice?Quite awhile ago, someone posted a pic of a street crossing over a creek, and there was a snarl of branches and bushes right next to the roadway. It was during a conversation about possible locations within the city, like golf courses. Yes, golf courses have a lot of groomed areas, but they also have a lot of wilder spaces, usually at their perimeters.If murderous stepmom didn't plan to kill Lucas, I feel he may be close to the home. If she accidentally killed Lucas, I would think she would be very panicked and want to be rid of the body asap. Although that may be giving her feeble brain way too much credit.If she actually planned his demise, then he may be further away, in a place familiar to her. Kudos and prayers to those who have been faithfully searching. Thank you for doing so.To Lucas' family: please know there are many who are standing with you at this time. My prayers go with you.
The Wichita Eagle corrected the mistake. Trying to get Fox4 to make a correction, also.

Nice catch! It should have read step-mother. I messaged the writer. Thanks!

When does hunting season start down there?

Okay, putting this together with what PB said makes me feel like someone just punched me in the gut. We know what LE said about Lucas not walking away or being abducted, we know he hasnt been found and LE hasnt been asking people to search their properties so are we now thinking EG may have sold him? That thought horrifies me even more than premeditated murder. I cant remember who posted about OG possibly being a drug run that didnt go through (maybe she had no money). I don't like where my mind is going with this so I'll just end right here.
Turkey season started April 18, I’ve been sharing a flyer made (not by me) specific to that. I’m not sure about other game haven’t looked it up![]()
