So the person you may send to pick up the cash at a particular location may know nothing about what the scam is.

Our top story tonight, the search for Kelsey Schelling.

I freaked out.

I had to play the role that I didn't know what was happening.

So I was like, oh my gosh, what's going on?

Police got a tip that led them to believe Schelling's body might be in Dante's backyard.

A major development, the ex-boyfriend of a pregnant Denver woman who went missing four years ago.

He now faces charges of first degree murder.

Dante Lucas, the Pueblo man accused of murdering his pregnant ex-girlfriend Kelsey Schelling nearly eight years ago, is headed to trial tomorrow.

Radio News Channel 13's Dan Beattie has been following this case and the trial for more than two years.

In the opening statements, the defense said, this is a missing persons case.

Today, the jury got a detailed look at some of the text messages exchanged between them.

I think that was really powerful for the jury to see.

Her mom spoke to the fact that she absolutely wanted this baby.

The prosecution painted a picture of a troubled relationship.

I know that my testimony could potentially help take him down, and that was realistically why I wanted to testify.

Prosecution and defense have given closing arguments.

I mean, it was shocking how quickly they arrived at their decision, especially given just the amount of information they had to look at.

This is a guilty verdict, eight years in the making, and even though Kelsey Schelling's body has never been found, the jury clearly felt there was enough evidence to convict the man her family has always suspected from the very beginning.
