Found Deceased Ks - Lucas Hernandez, 5, Wichita, 17 Feb 2018 #31

[Steelslady]

Where is this information coming from that JO was planning to kidnap Lucas?

Jo said it herself in that hour and a half interview she did on the radio. Something about she was upset that DCF didn't do anything about the reports of abuse, so she was thinking of kidnapping Lucas and putting him somewhere safe and turning herself in. This is not an exact quote, but the gist of what she said.

Okay, then I guess that's fine to discuss that she was thinking about it.

When is one deemed a suspect instead of just a POI in a case?

Seems to me she’s clearly a suspect, being the last to see him and ummm, leading a PI to his deceased body.

This is something I've always wondered. Are they interchangeable terms? Does the definition vary by department?

I believe that was from JO herself in an interview. (It was something she wanted to do to save him from the abuse)
Mentioned would turn herself in once he was at safe location. Never had a chance to as he turned up missing shortly there after.

Okay, the snark has a reached a new level in here. It's also against TOS to argue with a moderator on the forum.

I spoke to @Tricia and we are closing this thread for the night. Someone will open it in the morning.

Does anyone have any updates on any info on this case? I see that Lucas Memorial will be in June 30. Glad to see them holding it in a large venue. I’m not local but I’d expect hundreds if not more to attend.

I certainly hope the community can begin to heal from this awful tragedy. And changes come in the manner in which abuse reports are addressed at DCF.

I'm pleased to see the memorials they have chosen.

I'm pleased to see the memorials they have chosen.

It is a very positive choice. And time for good choices to come from this devastating case. People are so emotionally attached I think in part because Lucas could be a son, a grandson, a neighbor or someone we know.

We hurt because he didn’t have a chance or a voice strong enough to be saved.

And no one wants to see this happen again.

ATTENTION WEBSLEUTHS MEMBERS

A few reminders:

* When posting please do not use "I heard that" or " I read that." You must provide a link. We will remove any posts with these phrases. If you keep posting these phrases with no link, then you will receive a timeout

*Jamie cannot be sleuthed. There is no reason to sleuth Jamie. She did not kill Lucas. She did not kill Emily. Don't you think Jamie has been through enough without strangers tearing her apart? I am appalled when I see strangers trying to rip her to shreds. I will not allow it on Websleuths. You can discuss statements Jamie has made but nothing about her personal life or her parenting.

*Jonathan can be sleuthed. Jonathan had custody of Lucas. Jonathan is the one who handed Lucas over to his killer. He claims not to have known Emily was abusing him when everyone around him could see Lucas was being abused. Jonathan is facing charges for hitting Emily's boys.

*If you have questions about moderation please send a message via a "conversation." Do not pick an argument or attack a mod on the thread. This does not bode well for your Websleuths membership to continue

*Please be mindful that there is not much new to talk about in Lucas' case. There may be nothing much new to add to the discussion ever. We'll wait and see. In the meantime, if you feel you are getting hot under your computer collar and you want to go on the attack DON'T. Step back from your computer.

Me too. They are doing and saying many things right now which is good to see. The Press Release in this article is well done.

I understand there is really no new info... but I do hope someday we will find out info that LE has. I think the community needs that for closure . Lucas has forever changed me for someone I have never met to have such an affect on so many people.

 

[Steelslady]

I'm wondering what the hold up is on Emily's preliminary autopsy. They should know by now if it is officially a suicide.

OKay that made me cry.

 

[Tricia]

I really hope LE releases both autopsies. Lucas and Emily.

 

[AgeofAquaruis]

Love for Lucas. I hope the truth will be found.

There is a guy from WV, I believe, who drives a Batmobile and dresses as Batman. He drove to the funeral for a 6 yr old here who died in a shooting while at school. I think Lucas would love a Batman sendoff. Will try to find his info, if I can.

Awww! That would be so awesome!! Perhaps you can get him in touch with @FindLucasAllen and get him to send Lucas off with his favorite super hero in attendance

I sent a message to Batman at heroes 4 higher. I received an automated reply asking for a phone number. I’m not comfortable doing that so if anyone else is .....
