CO CO - Kelsie Schelling, 21, pregnant, Pueblo, 4 Feb 2013 *Arrest* #2

[Seattle1]

What I've noticed, is almost everything that DL stated was a lie. And not a consistent lie, I'm confused half the time and find it very helpful (thank you) when you re post all his inconsistencies. I hope what is happening in court is that they are emphasizing all these lies and inconsistencies in his story to the jurors as well.

I'm convinced DL's plan fell apart during the pancakes when he learned that Sara (mom) would not go along with his earlier alibi text: “Going to make sure she didn’t leave anything in the house. Then you can take her back home.”

If his mom won't say she took Kelsie back home [to Denver], DL has no way to get Kelsie out of Pueblo. She didn't drive her car out of Pueblo, and nobody ever reported collecting her.

IMO, I've always been suspicious of what the Lucas family said to Pueblo LE where they avoided accepting this case as their jurisdiction. It wasn't until Kelsie's vehicle was located in Pueblo that Pueblo police agreed that Kelsie likely disappeared from Pueblo. Those were lost days in this case that could never be recovered-- and evidence lost or destroyed.

IMO, there's no doubt that DL used his hometown athlete royalty status during the early
days of this investigation.

IMO, this trial would not be happening if not for the diligence of Kelsie's family that refused to let it go or take no for an answer.

MOO

Lucas said they left Parkview around 9 a.m. and went to Walmart. Indicates they got into an argument and he got kicked out of the car. Called his mom Sara to pick him up. Lucas thought Schelling returned to Denver for work.

Officer Melissa Jacober to the stand. Jacober recounts interview with #DontheLucas during a welfare check for #KelsieSchelling at Lucas' mother's home a week after Schelling's disappearance.

Lucas said the last time he saw Schelling was Lucas February 5th 2013.. and the two were arguing about the pregnancy. Told Officer Jacober he did not want a serious relationship and Kelsie did. “Didn’t want to be tied down like that.”

Dan Beedie KRDO @BeedieonTV 40s
Lucas told Jacober, he and Kelsie both went to Parkview Medical Center where she found out she was no longer pregnant. But according to cell phone records, it's impossible for both Lucas and Schelling to have been at Parkview Medical Center on February 5th.

SCHELLING/LUCAS TRIAL DAY 5: Kelsie's brother and dad took the stand this morning, testifying the last times they heard and saw Kelsie, when they found out she was pregnant and how she went missing. Doug Schelling (dad) testified he didn't know much about Kelsie's personal life, including about Lucas.
Kelsie's brother testified he and his stepdad went to Pueblo about a week after Kelsie went missing. He said they, accompanied by PPD officers, went to Lucas' mother's house, where they apparently spoke to Lucas himself, and went to Lucas' grandmother's house.
Kelsie's former supervisor at work (Floor and Decor in Highlands Ranch) also took the stand, testifying how Kelsie was supposed to work the days following from when she went missing. Kelsie never showed up or called, which her boss said was unlike her.

This afternoon prosecutors have been laying a lot of ground work--Witnesses verified that neither Parkview Medical Center or St Mary Corwin ever treated Kelsie as a patient. A Bellco Credit Union rep testified to how to read the records of Kelsie's account and some security

technicians from Wal Mart, St Mary Corwin, and Canon National Bank testified to the authenticity of security footage admitted (but not yet shown) as evidence.

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

Kelsie couldn't return to Denver on foot. You had her car, buster!

The last witness on the stand is Jessica Martin. She calls herself a friend of #DontheLucas, and says they have been romantically involved. She’s been interviewed previously by CBI Agent Kevin Torres back on January 31, 2017.
@KOAA

Martin first Facebook friended #DontheLucas in October 2016, because she wanted to help gather information about the case. Lucas was the first one to message her. After that, the two spoke on the phone, but never brought up #KelsieSchelling initially.
@KOAA

The two didn’t talk about the case until a couple of weeks later, in December 2016. Martin says #Lucas was mostly quiet about the case, and the mood was awkward. He didn’t say much - except that he and #Schelling were friends, and she would give him money.

END OF DAY 5: A woman from Aurora testified she’s been romantically involved with Lucas since 2017…and even considered Lucas her boyfriend today on the stand.
This woman testified she was in contact with CBI and gave them information about Lucas in 2017, four years after Kelsie's disappearance. But, at the same time she said she was building a romantic relationship with Lucas.
CBI advised her in early 2017 to not have a relationship with Lucas, but she testified today she’s still in love with him.
The prosecution said this woman told CBI in 2017 that someone (not clear who) apparently went to Lucas’ home and called Lucas a "murderer" in front of her…to which Lucas apparently responded quote “you’re four years too late.”
But the woman testified in court today not remembering telling CBI this in 2017.

Martin says #Lucas turned out to be a different person than she expected, and her feelings were growing for him at this point (late 2016-early 2017). She remembers him talking about getting death threats.
@KOAA

Because #Martin ended up falling in love with #Lucas, the CBI couldn’t use her as an informant anymore. But, prior to that, #Lucas never confessed to kidnapping or murdering #KelsieSchelling.
@KOAA

Martin said she last talked to #Lucas on January 24 of this year, which is the day before jury selection started in the case. She was released for the day but could still be recalled.

Not at ALL how I expected this story to end up...wth.

Wrapping up today was Jessica Martin. She originally reached out to Lucas on Facebook in 2016 to try and get information out of him about Kelsie, but in short order, she said she fell in love with him. She didn't remember most of what she told CBI in 2016 and 2017 either.

Initially after messages on FB were exchanged, Martin reached out to CBI to say what she was doing and if she were able to get any details about Kelsie. CBI gave her a recorder. Prosecutors tried to get Martin to repeat several things she told CBI agent Kevin Torres in 2016

and 2017. For example, towards the end of her coordination with CBI on Jan 31, 2017, Martin said she wanted to cut off the relationship with Lucas because "I don't want Donthe to hurt my mom and him" [him being her ex boyfriend]. Martin said today, however, she never felt

threatened by Lucas and had been keeping up a relationship with him since that time, including after his arrest in November 2017.

So WHAT she befriended this guy because she wanted to help the cops get information about the case but then she fell in love with him? She just inserted herself into the investigation? WTF.

I don't recall ever recall hearing the word "snacks" so much in all my life.

Seems snacks and Walmart are interchangeable with DL.

Code word(s)?

Day 5 - Donthe Lucas Murder Trial

 

[imstilla.grandma]

Savannah Martin was Schelling's work supervisor at Floor Decor in the Denver area. In her testimony, Martin described her relationship with Schelling, saying she considered her a friend.

According to Martin, she wasn't aware that Schelling had gone to Pueblo the night before. On Feb. 5, Schelling sent Martin texts saying she was really sick and went to the ER.

Martin said she was confused, the day before Schelling had told her the Feb. 4 OBGYN appointment went well, and the doctor had said the pregnancy was fine. Schelling was supposed to go to work that day, however, Martin told her not to come in.

The prosecution went over text messages between Martin and Schelling on Feb. 5 and Feb. 6. On Feb. 6, Schelling was supposed to go into work but didn't show up. Over text, Schelling told Martin she wasn't having a baby anymore, claiming "it was growing in the wrong place."

During the conversation, Schelling asked Martin not to tell anyone. Martin attempted to call Schelling but those phone calls went unanswered, Schelling would only text her.

Martin testified saying the conversation was unusual, the grammar used in the texts weren't normal, and when Schelling would miss work, she would usually call.

"You don't go from having a baby the day before to having it grow in the wrong places the next day." said Martin.

It’s another cold morning in #Pueblo. It’s also the sixth day of the #DontheLucas murder trial, who’s accused of killing 21-year-old #KelsieSchelling, who disappeared in 2013. This will be my thread for the day. There’s no live reporting allowed within the courthouse.

Video surveillance footage catching #Schelling’s car on camera from February 5-14 was also admitted as evidence. Her car was seen going through an ATM and in a Walmart parking lot on the 5, then moved to St. Mary Corwin from the 7-14, where it was eventually recovered.@KOAA

Also - Parkview Hospital has no record of #Schelling going there on Feb. 5, like #Lucas claimed she did. However, the defense pointed out - if you enter a waiting room, and never check in, there would be no record.@KOAA

Finally - a witness named Jessica Martin took the stand, who initially wanted to help investigators find #Schelling. However, she ended up falling in love with #Lucas, and could no longer be an informant for the CBI. Prior to that, #Lucas never confessed to kidnapping or murder.
