Kelsie Jean Schelling
She was 21 years old and had just found out that she was eight weeks pregnant when she disappeared on February 5th, 2013.
Her boyfriend Donthe was a college basketball star.
He was upset when he found out that she was expecting his child.
On February 3rd, Donthe sent her a text message after she had sent him a sonogram of their baby.
In the text he said that he wanted to see her, that he had something special for her.
This lead Kelsie to believe that maybe he changed his mind about the pregnancy.
On February 4th, at 8:41 p.m., she clocked out, left, and got in her car to meet Donthe.
She drove to Pueblo Colorado.
They had agreed to meet at the southside Walmart.
When she arrived there, there was no sign of her boyfriend, so she texted him a few times.
He texts her back and tells her that he is almost there and to wait.
She waited for quite and while, but Donthe didn't show up.
Instead he texted her and told her to drive to a quiet side street .
He still didn't show up, so Kelsie sent him another frustrated text telling him that she had been waiting over an hour.
Somewhere between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m., something seems to have happened.
Her mom tried to call her, but Kelsie wasn't answering her phone.
She text Kelsie, but she got a short reply.
Her mother at first, thought that maybe Kelsie was tired and that's why she didn't really respond to her calls and texts.
Then her mother begain to worry when all of Kelsie's friends texted her mom saying that they kept trying to call and text Kelsie and she wasn't answering them back.
Days past and Kelsie's family and friends stil hadn't heard from her.
10 days after Kelsie went missing they found her car parked outside a hospital.
Donte was interviewed by police on February 15th.
He said that he had met Kelsie as planned and drove her in her car to different locations.
He said she felt sick, so he took her to Parkview Medical Center and he stayed in the car when she went inside.
Afterwards they went to a bank where she let him withdraw money from her account.
He then took her to Walmart, where they got into an agrument.
She told him that she had to go back to Denver, because she worked the next day.
Donte is seen driving her car on February 5th in a surveillance video.
This is the same day he said they were together all day, but in the video he was alone.
It was 11:39 a.m. and he was withdrawing $400 out of a ATM at a local bank drive-through, using her card.
He then drove to Walmart and parked her car.
18 hours later, a surveillance camera showed a unknown man dressed in a hoodie driving her car out of the parking lot.
In November 2017, Donthe was arrested on aggravated robbery charges.
In December, while he was still in custody for the robbery, he was charged with first-degree murder in Kelsie's case.
No body has been found, but police state that they had enough evidence to link him to her murder.
On August 28th, 2018, Donthe entered a not guilty plea.
His trial date is set for April 2, 2019.
UPDATE: Donthe's trial has been pushed to January 14th, 2020. His defense team said that have new scientific evidence that they need to go over.
