The defense team of homicide suspect Donthe Lucas, who stands accused of the first-degree murder of Kelsie Schelling, was expected to begin presenting its case Monday but instead rested without calling witnesses or presenting additional evidence.
The jury began deliberating Monday morning. The Chieftain will be in the courtroom when a verdict is announced.
Schelling was 21 years old when she drove from her home in Denver to Pueblo to see Lucas on Feb. 4, 2013. She has not been seen or heard from since, and her remains have never been found.
After the defense rested its case, Deputy District Attorney Michelle Chostner outlined the prosecution’s case, which took 13 days to present to the jury before the prosecution rested on Friday.

Kentucky entered into Phase 1C on Monday, March 1, which allowed all Murray State faculty and staff who want to get the COVID-19 vaccine the opportunity to roll up their sleeves.
It couldn’t come soon enough for Stephanie Anderson, assistant professor of journalism and mass communications and faculty adviser for
The News.
“I was hoping that postsecondary educators would fall into the 1B phase as K-12 teachers did but that wasn’t the case,” Anderson said. “I have not seen my family but once in the last year and my 15-month-old son is missing out on those precious moments with his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.”
