I think I read Lucas had been absent for 11 days. I dont have the dates of the nurse reports, but if he had been sick for days in a row before his last day - poor little boy must have been very sick, weak and dehydrated, resulting in a compromised immune system. If EG really killed him with her own hands, it probably didnt take too much to end his life.
- TIMELINE OF EVENTS - LUCAS HERNANDEZ -A timeline was created in an effort to alleviate rumors and help organize the events surrounding the disappearance of 5-year-old Lucas Hernandez. Lucas has quickly become known as “Wichita’s Son” and he needs to be located. Sadly, we suspect that finding Lucas is now a recovery effort. If that’s the case, he deserves to be laid to rest respectfully and surrounded by those who love him.

I was mad writing it. There’s so much I’ve wanted to say about the out-of-bound players in this scenario. It began the very day I first read her jailhouse interview. I’ve gone back and forth a few times since, though my opinions remain the basis for my primary premise. I start to type, bite my tongue and angrily hit the backspace button a dozen times. The truth always surfaces. “Patience is a Virtue” I say to myself. I don’t listen.
