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

[IHAVENOCLUE]

I think about her every day. I noticed that the only activity at the POI's mother's house was when two people drove up in a cab, looking very furtive, and a pick up backed up in the garage with ramps, as if they were moving. These incidents were about a week apart.This was quite some time ago, about 5 or 6 weeks ago. I really wonder where he's gone. I thought maybe he moved to Missouri or where ever mommy fled to, but someone involved with the case told me they believe he's still in Pueblo. I was hopeful that Kelsie would have been found by now. I pray her family gets closure.

Thanks for being our "boots on the ground", Spamelope! :seeya:

Family of missing pregnant woman holds rally in Pueblo

11:54 AM, Nov 16, 2013

PUEBLO - The family of a missing Denver woman is fighting to keep her story alive.

Kelsie Schelling's family held a rally Saturday in Pueblo, where the 21-year-old pregnant woman disappeared nine months ago.

Colby Schelling, Keslie's brother, says her family won't give up until they find justice.

Schelling says her family gathered for the rally in Pueblo, in an attempt to put pressure on police to continue chasing down leads in Kelsie's disappearance.

Kelsie is a part of this story, she is still being talked about.

 

[The Cheese]

Kelsie Schelling was last seen on Feb. 4, 2013. Since then, no one has seen or heard from the 22-year-old.

According to police, Schelling's boyfriend, Dohnte Lucas, asked her to drive down from Denver to Pueblo so the two could discuss the pregnancy.

Police say Lucas was the last person to talk to or see Schelling. Schelling's vehicle was discovered 10 days after her disappearance in a parking lot at a hospital in Pueblo. No one from the hospital had records showing Schelling visited them.

"I know my mind races all the time," Schelling's mother Laura Saxton said. "In my heart I know she's not with us anymore. But I need to have her back in order to find closure."

Lucas has not been cooperative with police. He was arrested shortly after Schelling's disappearance on an identity theft charge. According to police, Lucas used one of Schelling's debit cards without her permission after she disappeared. Lucas was later released.

Since then, there has been no clues and no leads.

Police continue to monitor Lucas. A candle light vigil is scheduled this upcoming Saturday in honor of Schelling.

I rescind my former support of the Pueblo PD. I don't care what they are or aren't doing behind the scenes anymore. The fact that Kelsie's parents have been kept in the dark is unconscionable. It's adding insult to injury. They didn't share info with the public in a timely manner, and people's memories fade after time. Had they shared what they knew at the beginning, perhaps someone would have recalled something. Justice delayed is justice denied. I live in a community with a killer on the loose. I don't like this one bit. It's not fair to anyone here, and especially not to Kelsie and her family. I don't know where DL is. I don't think he's at the family home. The house appears abandoned, except for one elderly person. Could be because a Colorado HP lives next door? I don't know. But I do know that as a taxpayer, I'm very disappointed in our local cops. Do something already. Justice for Kelsie! Please. She and her family deserve nothing less.

Pueblo police are the pits! They've done nothing for Tommy Cook (link below).. We've asked them to add to the crime stoppers page; so far they have not acknowledged us asking.

CO - Thomas "Tommy" Cook 26, Pueblo, 14 August 2013 - Possible traveling to Kansas

Wanted to add this for those following Kelsie. Her family posted that there are only 2 authorized sites; that they have nothing to do with other sites/pages. They are talking about another FB page that popped up; link below. I was just there looking at all of the posts; I see her mom has posted there; so I'm confused if they "support" the page or not. It's good that someone has laid out all of the info like that.

IN RESPONSE

KELSIE SCHELLING INVESTIGATION

The Pueblo Police Department understands the frustration being felt by friends and family of Kelsie Schelling. This investigation is equally frustrating for the men and women of the Pueblo Police Department. Some statements have been made by individuals who have limited knowledge of this investigation, nevertheless, we feel the need to provide you with factual information.

1). This case is not a cold case. It has been worked continually since Feb. 12, 2013, and continues to be worked as new leads are developed. A lead Investigator has been assigned this case from the outset, and he is assisted by other Detectives from the Crimes Against Persons Section depending on the information.

2). The police are bound by the laws of the land. The United States and Colorado Constitutions are living documents that set the parameters on what the police may or may not do. As an example:

a. The police cannot arrest individuals without reaching a legal standard called “Probable Cause”.

b. The police may interview individuals, but they cannot force someone to talk.

c. The police do not use unlawful methods to solve a case.

3). The Pueblo Police Department is involved in this matter as a result of Ms. Schelling’s car being found within the City of Pueblo, after she had reportedly visited her boyfriend.

4). This investigation was almost one (1) week old when the Denver Police Department provided us with the case material.

5). Our investigator has been in consistent contact with the family, particularly Ms. Schelling’s mother, throughout this investigation.

6). Ms. Schelling’s boyfriend has been, and continues to be a “person of interest”.

7). The Pueblo Police Department has worked in collaboration with other police agencies and private sector companies with the expressed purpose of locating Ms. Schelling.

8). The investigators assigned to this case are dedicated professionals who, besides the members of her family and friends, may be the only other advocates for Ms. Schelling.

9). We understand that a family is grieving and that the family will never forget their loved one. We will never forget her as well. We will continue to look at every lead, no matter how inconsequential, until this case is solved.

10). If anyone has any information on the disappearance of Kelsie Schelling, please call the Pueblo Police Department at 719-553-2502, or Pueblo Crime Stoppers at 719-534-STOP (7867).

Probably because of the Dateline story. Dateline is pretty huge

Kelsie's friend Bobbi D said she had had the name Kadrie picked out if she ever had a girl since we were in school together. After she found out she was pregnant she had texted that she hoped it was a girl so she could name her Kadrie. <3

Can't believe she's been missing a year and they can't get anything on this guy to make an arrest. I understand the police position. They know he's involved, yet they can't prove it. They haven't been able to find a body to give them any information.

Better they wait and see what turns up then to jump the gun when they have very little and risk their POI getting away scot free on the Double Jeopardy clause.

It's a waiting game. In the meantime, Kelsie's family waits for news. Seems they pretty much know what the outcome was, just no solid proof yet.
