Hope still alive at vigil to find Kelsie Schelling

Dozens in Pueblo try to keep hope alive in finding Kelsie Schelling.

Kelsie has been missing since 2013 and despite having a prime suspect in the case, police have never been able to get the evidence they need to move the case forward.

“We know she’s out there,”said Kelsie’s father Doug Schelling.

“We just all need her back,” said Kelsie’s mom Laura Saxton.

Many gathering Friday night were there to support the family of Kelsie Schelling, who has been missing since February 4, 2013.

She drove to Pueblo to tell her boyfriend Dante Lucas she was pregnant.

Several days later, police say that someone moved her car from Walmart and abandoned it at St. Mary Corwin Hospital.

“Nobody wants to live this, let me tell you,” Doug Schelling said, adding that he thought Kelsie would be found a long time ago.

“The people that did this, they’ve got her hid pretty good,” Schelling said.

“We hoped for something different, it didn’t happen,” Saxton said.

Saxton had hoped that a 20/20 special that aired in May would generate more leads, but that didn’t happen.

“We were hopeful that CBI would just take over the case, that’s not happening,” Saxton said.

Pueblo Police are still in charge of Kelsie’s case, but have asked the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to review it.

With no leads this summer, the big question is, “Where is Kelsie?”

“We’re begging, we’re begging for someone to please anonymously tell us where we can find Kelsie,” Saxton said.

Regardless of the lack of tips and leads, Saxton says the fight doesn’t stop.

“But I will continue to push and fight for law enforcement to find my daughter,” Saxton said. “I just pray it happens, that’s what I want more than anything. I want that more than justice.”

Friday’s vigil, was about keeping the faith and hope.

“We do have to keep fighting, and when people come out here and support us like this it really helps,” Schelling said.
