PUEBLO â Donthe Lucas, the man accused of murdering his pregnant ex-girlfriend, 21-year-old Kelsie Schelling, is going to trial. Schelling disappeared after driving from Denver to Pueblo to see Lucas on February 4, 2013.
The case has already been delayed several times since Lucas was arrested in 2017. On Thursday while in court, it seemed like there was a chance the trial would once again be postponed. The defense team spoke about introducing a new suspect to the case, and the judge decided to schedule another hearing on Friday to further discuss this evidence.
