This article states that Emily is not only a POI in Lucas case but also a witness? What does that mean? Does that insinuate that someone else hurt him?
Lucas' stepmom is a person of interest and a witness in his disappearance, DA says
Emily Glass received a "not guilty" verdict from jurors in a case alleging she endangered her 1-year-old daughter by driving to a Wichita restaurant for dinner while she was high on marijuana. But she remains part of the focus of a mystery that's plagued the city for the past three months:
Where is her 5-year-old stepson, Lucas Hernandez?
She is a person of interest in his disappearance, Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett said Wednesday, speaking outside of his office at the downtown courthouse where Glass' trial was held just moments after jurors voted to acquit her of one count of child endangerment.
They deliberated for less than an hour before delivering the verdict.
Glass also is a witness, Bennett said Wednesday, to whatever happened to the Beech Elementary pre-kindergartner after he was last seen in February.
