#51 Taking Matters Into Her Own Hands
In February 2013, Kelsie Schelling, a 21-year-old woman who was eight weeks pregnant, drove from Denver to Pueblo, Colorado to meet her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Donthe Lucas. She was never seen again.
For years, the case went cold. Police suspected Lucas from the start, but without a body and with a changing, inconsistent alibi, they could not make an arrest. Schelling's mother spent years fighting to keep the case alive, organizing searches and maintaining a Facebook page, but the investigation stalled.
Then Lauren Suhr, a young single mother who had never met Kelsie Schelling or her family, read about the case and decided she couldn't let it go.
On her own initiative, with no law enforcement backing, Suhr messaged Lucas on Facebook, telling him she was new to the Pueblo area and looking to meet people. Over the following weeks, they grew close. What started as an intelligence-gathering mission turned into something more complicated. Lucas began to genuinely fall for her, and a real romantic relationship developed.
"In the back of my mind, I always kept that he is a suspect," Suhr later told ABC's 20/20.
Over the course of their relationship, Lucas made admissions that would prove crucial. He confided to Suhr that he had lied to police, that it was him on Walmart surveillance footage moving Kelsie's car to a hospital parking lot and returning the next day to pick it up.
At one point, he got on his knees and proposed. Suhr accepted and wore the ring, while quietly relaying everything to investigators.
Lucas was arrested in 2017, tried, and convicted. He was sentenced to life in prison.
