Glass was a live-in girlfriend who cared for the Wichita boy while his father was out of town working. Wichita police are still investigating Lucas’ death and Glass’ death. Police have said Glass’ body was found with a gun near her feet and that her death was reported as a suicide. Early June 8, Glass’ boyfriend, Jonathan Hernandez, went to the rental house where she was living. It is the same South Edgemoor house from which she had reported Lucas missing on Feb. 17. source
