The Murder Of Kelsie Schelling True Crime Documentary

Kelsie Schelling was 21 years old and eight weeks pregnant when she vanished in Pueblo, Colorado, on February 4, 2013. She had just learned she was pregnant with Donthe Lucas' child and had driven down from Denver to Pueblo after he told her he had a "surprise" for her. Her car was discovered a few days later at Pueblo's St. Mary-Corwin Hospital, and surveillance video showed Lucas driving it there.

After years of rumors that Lucas was implicated in Schelling's disappearance, he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in November 2017, according to the Denver Channel. He pled not guilty in August 2018 and denied any involvement. Lucas didn't want Schelling to have his baby, so he lured her to Pueblo and killed her, according to prosecutors. Schelling's body has never been found, and there is no DNA evidence of her murder, with the abandoned car serving as the last sign of her existence. In the days after her disappearance in Pueblo, video footage of Lucas showed him using her bank card and moving her vehicle.

Colorado Bureau of Investigation believe Lucas strangled Schelling after luring her to the town. During Lucas' trial, his defense lawyers argued that neither her body nor any DNA had ever been found, and that charging Lucas with first-degree murder was the "biggest stretch in Colorado history," but the jury found him guilty after less than three hours of deliberation.
