Melinda Duckett Now Becomes Focus of Police Investigation of Missing Trenton Duckett
The police investigating the disappearance of two year old Trenton Duckett have shifted focus to Melinda Duckett. Suspicion has been raised into her possible involvement in Trenton’s disappearance following Melinda Duckett’s suicide.
Police have stated , “that common sense kind of dictates that we loom at her connection.” Melinda Duckett was found shot in a closet of her grandparents home of which the wounds appeared to be self inflicted. The bizarre set of circumstances obviously dictate that the police must investigate this angle if they had not already been doing so prior to her death. The authorities have stated that the focus of the investigation may change again. However, as we have witnessed in missing child cases, everyone is considered a suspect.
Police Examine Melinda Duckett’s Diary; Toddler Still Missing
Leesburg detectives said they’re now looking at pages of a diary that belonged to Duckett. Her estranged husband, Josh, confirmed for WESH 2 that she did keep a diary.
Investigators said the pages could explain her state of mind before committing suicide on Friday while at her grandparent’s home.
By analyzing the pages of her writings, detectives said they hope it will shed more light on what may have happened to Trenton.
Leesburg police said there is a 28-hour gap between the time Melinda Duckett reported her son missing and anyone else who saw the toddler alive.
