Crime stories with Nancy Grace on Sirius XM Triumph channel 132.

5 year old Lucas Hernandez seemingly disappears into thin air. His dad out working with an oil rig, the stepmother Emily glass with him at home.

At the time while she is taking in that pee, apparently slips out the back door. Well, that certainly raised eyebrows within the police department.

In the last hours, a stunning turn of events, that stepmother Emily Glass, who leads a private investigator after three months to little Lucas's dead body under a bridge, has apparently been shot.

I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime stories. Thank you for being with us and a bizarre turn of events we learned that Emily Glass is found early early in the morning in a home near Kellogg and edge more.

This is Lucas Hernandez's so-called stepmother. Officers respond to the home around 2 a.m. to find a woman with a gunshot wound, which taught police on the scene.

Right now joining me, a very dear friend of Emily Glass is it's Shelley, Everhart Shelley. Thank you for being with us and I'm stunned by this turn of events.

I'm so excited to see you. Thanks. Shelley, what happened? We really don't know. We just was at home. Shannie and I was at Shannie's house. She's my best friend of over 30 years and we've been on the Emily Glass case.

I'm going to say one and at our doubts in the beginning, but after seeing more and more of the evidence and things that weren't lining up, I started our own group on Facebook and added Shannie as a co administrator.

Our main objective was finding Lucis of course and also supporting Emily because a lot of her rights or constitutional rights were being violated.

And then dealing with different things throughout the legal system, the past 16 years and knowing different things. I've never heard of a person being held in jail on a child endangerment charge on a $50,000 bond or that case being publicized such as hers was. She was basically tried and convicted.

Hold on, Shelley. I thought that she was actually acquitted and walked through. She did, but everybody.

Okay, because when you said she was tried and convicted, I thought maybe I had my facts wrong. So she was acquitted.

No, trying convicted in the public size.

Well, when you say that she was had so much, let me say publicity. Well, but wouldn't you agree, Shelley? Everybody with me as a dear friend of the stepmother Emily Glass.

It was home alone, the only adult with Lucis Hernandez when he goes missing and then leads a private investigator three months later to his dead body in an obscure, obscure area under a bridge.

When you say her case got so much scrutiny, I don't think it really had to do with her driving after three bowls of pot. I think the scrutiny was because Lucas at the time was still missing and everyone felt she had the maybe the missing answers to what happened to him.
