In episode 5, Deb and MaryAnne discuss the disappearance of Lucas Hernandez, a five-year-old boy from Wichita, Kansas. This episode explores the initial report of Lucas missing, the search efforts, the involvement of EquuSearch, and the use of canine units. We delve into the polygraph tests taken by Jonathan and Emily, the history of domestic violence involving Emily, and concerns raised about Lucas's well-being.

We explore the involvement of private detective David Marshburn in the search for Lucas and the contrasting investigative tactics between law enforcement and private detectives, and also delve into the conflicting stories and lies told by Lucas's stepmother, Emily Glass, and the tragic events that unfold.

In closing, Deb and MaryAnne highlight the failures of the Department of Children and Family Services (DCF) in protecting Lucas and discuss the need for more transparency and accountability in child protective services.
