I’m sorry if this has been mentioned before. I don’t get on here often and did a quick search but didn’t see anything.

Is anyone following this? I haven’t heard anything new recently.

This story was on Dr. Phil a few weeks ago. Synopsis from msn and youtube link from part 2 of the show follow. Part 1 has apparently been removed. There’s also a body language analysis out there but I’m not sure if I can post that link.

Woman Insists Infant Grandson’s Death Wasn’t Her Son’s Fault

“Steven and his girlfriend, Elke, welcomed baby Lucas into their lives in 2020 and say he was never fussy, slept well, loved baths, and only cried during diaper changes. Then, one evening when Lucas was 3 months old, Elke and Steven say he didn’t look well, so Elke took him to the hospital the following morning. Lucas died several days later. “Lucas was in a medically induced coma for three days,” says Steven’s mother, Melissa. “Doctors told Steven that Lucas no longer had brain activity and they needed to make the decision to take him off life support.” Melissa says that Steven is now the subject of a homicide investigation. “It makes me angry,” says Melissa, who is adamant that Steven had nothing to do with the baby’s death. Watch the video above to find out what Melissa says the coroner determined to be the cause of Lucas’s death, and why she claims Elke is responsible. Elke adamantly denies that she would ever harm her child.”

A few things I remember from the show are that Elke took Lucas to a relative’s house on Mother’s Day morning. There was a small crowd there, including children, and Lucas was not within Elke’s sight all the time. When Elke arose in the morning to take Lucas to the hospital, she never woke up Steven to tell him that Lucas’s situation had worsened. Elke sat through the interview looking like a deer in the headlights although that might be her norm, of course. Steven held the baby as he died in the hospital. They are now expecting baby #2.

If you have any new information, please share. Thank you.

“Observe” is the YouTube channel that assesses the body language in case you are interested in that also.

I admit, I saw "Dr. Phil" and rolled my eyes.

Lucas Johnson

Having trouble finding any other MSM reporting this as a suspicious death - what kind of input are you looking for?

I agree with you. I’m anxious to see the outcome. I wasn’t sure if we were allowed to post YouTube links or I would have in my first post. So...thanks for posting it!

The father, Steven Johnson, was arrested on 1st degree murder yesterday. You can see his booking photo and information on the Sherman County Sheriff webpage. I don't know if I can link it since there are other photos of other people on there not related to this case.

Oh no. I’m still leaning the other way until I hear more.

I saw the double episode on Dr Phil and followed the discussion on Dr Phil Phanatics.

Steven and Elke are expecting another baby, a girl with a heart condition. There is a possibility that baby Lucas also had this condition and it may have played a part in his untimely death. Investigators are looking into his medical records.

Thank you for the group link. I knew she was pregnant from the show but the heart condition is new to me.

Father Steven Johnson had his bail reduced to $500,000, still in jail now. Mother Elke had her second baby at a hospital in Denver, a little girl. She will be having heart surgery at some point. Elke's parents are listed as having custody.

Thank you for this. I’m glad to hear that her parents have custody.

Obviously, without knowing the medical evidence etc, it’s impossible to know but my impression of the parents from the interview was different.
The father behaved in the way grieving parents are supposed to behave, whether genuinely or acting convincingly. The mother had a bizarrely flat affect. I feel like if she was trying to falsely pretend to be a heartbroken parent, she would be feigning distress, crocodile tears, soliciting sympathy and she’s absolutely not doing that at all. I find it baffling and I can’t help feeling like there’s more to this than meets the eye.

He's apparently still awaiting trial. Agree with @TTF14 above, posting the link but no pictures, there are other people awaiting trial in this county:

Steven Edward Johnson

Thank you. So, zero charges for Elke? Is her daughter still outside of her care? If so, why? Sorry for all the questions. TIA.
