Amber Alert for Montana Toddler (Loic Rogers – 2)
UPDATE I: Authorities in the Flathead say that they are treating the case of a missing 3-year-old boy as a kidnapping
“I would just hope that he would just turn him over to somebody, go to a convenience store, tell them to call the police, take him somewhere and just give him up, because he needs to be back with his dad and mom.”
Neighbors have searched just about every driveway, dead-end, and corner surrounding the property where he was last seen on Maple Drive.
At a Thursday morning news conference police said that the parents are divorced, and that they are NOT suspected in having any involvement in the incident. Also, there were reports of a salesman in the area when the abduction occurred, but police say he has been cleared of any involvement.
Flathead County Sheriff Mike Meehan says that they are using search equipment, including three thermal imagers to detect any kind of heat including body heat. But, so far there is still no sign of Loic. (Montana News Station)
If you see Loic, or have any information about where he may be, please contact the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office at 758-5874.

UPDATE I: Missing toddler found dead near Kalispell
The sad news is being reported that the body of missing 3 year old Loic Rogers was found. The boy’s father has stated that he was only gone for a minute and when he returned his son was gone. Our prayers are with the family. Rest in peace Loic.
KALISPELL, Mont. – The remains of a 3-year-old boy apparently kidnapped from outside his grandparents’ house in Evergreen were discovered late Friday, Sheriff Mike Meehan said today.
Meehan declined to release further details on the death of Loic J.M. Rogers. A press conference was scheduled Saturday afternoon at the Flathead County sheriff’s office. Meehan thanked community members and officials who searched for Loic.
UPDATE II: Missing Montana Boy, 3, Found Dead in Septic Tank
The 3 year olds death remains a bit of a mystery. The little boy found in a septic tank drowned. Police are questioning how he could of climbed in the septic tank and closed the lid. It would be nearly impossible to do.
The body of 3-year-old Loic Rogers, who disappeared outside a home in Kalispell, Montana, was found in a septic tank late on Friday evening. The septic tank is less than 10 feet from where he was last seen alive, said Flathead County Sheriff Mike Meehan. An autopsy performed in Missoula showed that Loic drowned.
Authorities said they had looked in the septic tank during their initial search, but did not see anything. They found the boy’s body after draining the tank.
The manhole-sized lid to the septic tank was closed. Sheriff Meehan declined to characterize the boy’s death as a murder, but said investigators do not believe he could have climbed into the tank on his own and then put the lid back on.
UPDATE III: Why does it seem that in so many cases like this the parents are going through a separation or divorce? Custody battles take precedence over the safety and welfare of the children or in some cases a spouse goes completely over the edge and murders their husband or wife.
In an interview with The (Kalispell) Daily Inter Lake, Ariel Rogers confirmed Friday that she and her husband are divorcing and are involved in a custody battle for their three children. Mark Rogers was given temporary custody during their separation.
”I want the kids and so does he,” Ariel Rogers said Friday. ”We love our children. (Mark) would never do anything to hurt our children.”
Ariel Rogers, who is expecting her fourth child, was hospitalized so doctors could monitor her after she learned of her son’s death.
”I want to know that my other two children are safe in that man’s care,” she said in a tearful interview with KAJ-TV Saturday. ”He was supposed to be looking after him, he was supposed to be safe there, and he wasn’t.”

Could the missing Trenton Duckett actually have been sent to Korea? Investigators into the disappearance of Trenton Duckett are actually looking into that angle. Investigators are looking at flight records around the time of Trenton’s disappearance to see if that nay have actually happened. Police are looking into the over 12,000 passengers who traveled to Korea that weekend. There do not seem to be any solid leads that would have police look in this direction; however, all scenarios need to be investigated.
Video
Detectives in the search for missing Trenton Duckett are now poring over international airline records trying to determine whether the toddler was whisked out of the country, WKMG-TV has reported. Now, investigators are looking into the possibility that Duckett sent her son to Korea.
“We do have certain individuals who stated that Melinda had talked about her roots and possibly sending little Trenton back to his roots,” Marion County Sheriff’s Office Maj. Chris Blair said. “We are working with customs and issuing some subpoenas. They are aiding us in trying to obtain information on people who were located on certain flights.”
However, Marion County investigators said they believe Duckett, who was born in Korea but was adopted by a New York family when she was a baby, may have handed off her son to someone near a Belleview restaurant last year. (News4)
Trenton Duckett’s Father Gives New Items To Detectives
Local officials said they are working with U.S. Customs officials to check the manifests on every U.S. to Korea flight on the weekend that Trenton disappeared in August. Those manifests include the names of 12,000 people.
Investigators are cross-checking those names to see if anybody connected to Trenton’s mother, Melinda Duckett, match those names. (WESH)
UPDATE I: Joshua Duckett meets with police behind closed doors.
VIDEO
Leesburg police made new requests for DNA. A hair brush and toys that may have Trenton Duckett’s DNA on them still. Police are making a comparison of a pillow and pillow case found thrown away at Melinda Duckett’s house.
UPDATE II: Could Melinda Duckett’s former co-workers offer any insight into the disappearance of Trent Duckett? Is this the speculation that is causing police to believe that maybe Trenton Duckett was sent to Korea?
Carolyn Kendrick is a chiropractic clinic manager in Sumter County. Melinda Duckett worked there when Trenton was 6 months old.
Duckett is considered the prime suspect in her son’s disappearance. She killed herself in September, just weeks after she reported the boy missing
That same month, Kendrick described Duckett’s desire to find her Korean birth mother.
“The only thing she really expressed to me was that she wanted to go back to her roots, which is Korea,” Kendrick told WESH 2 News.

There is good new to report in the abduction of 31 year old Kimberly Walker and her four missing children: 9-year-old Jaylan, Justin, 8; Kyara, 6; and 16-month-old Kayla. All have been found safe and are well. They were found Tuesday night in a hotel. Jerry D. White, 30, was arrested.
ALL FOUND SAFE
ELKHART, Ind. – A mother and her four children were found safe Tuesday night at a motel just miles from where police said the father shot a man and abducted them three days earlier, authorities said. He was arrested as he tried to escape through an air duct.
Jerry D. White, 30, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and several counts of confinement, police said.
Investigators were able to trace the family to the Sleepy Hollow motel, about 6 miles from Walker’s home, in part because Walker had made three calls to relatives from a nearby pay phone saying they were safe, said Detective Sgt. Bill Wargo.
Officers knocked on the door of the motel room about 8 p.m. Tuesday and heard rumbling inside, after which Walker opened the door. (Yahoo News)
A truly tremendous job by all law enforcement to bring this to a safe ending.

MySpace.com has teamed up with The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to distribute Amber Alerts to is on-line community. MySpace.com has recently come under fire for the exposure it creates to younger subscribers and predators. The on-line alerts will begin today on MySpace. MySpace still has a ways to go in protecting its on-line networking community; however, this addition of on-line Amber alerts makes sense. Teenagers and those of college age that predominately make up MySpace would be the first to know if teens had gone missing. Disseminating the information and fast internet responses may help enable police in the battle to find missing persons.
The online alerts, which will begin Tuesday, will be sent to all users in the ZIP codes where it was issued. They will appear in a small text box at the top of a user’s portfolio. The user can click on the box for more information, including a photo of the missing child and a description of the suspect. (CBS News)
MySpace also announced two safety features designed to protect members’ privacy.
The site will now require people signing up for an account to provide a working e-mail address and verify their identity by responding to an e-mail sent to the listed address. This is a practice common with other online services, but MySpace has been hesitant thus far because of fears the confirmation messages might end up mistakenly in spam filters. The site, open only to those 14 and over, will also offer a tool to prevent any member under age 18 from being contacted by adults, and vice versa. The tool, however, is optional and relies on self-reported ages. (Fox Reno)
My Space still has a ways to go in providing safety to its users as there is presently a law suit by four families against the networking internet giant. MySpace.com to Send Out Amber Alerts
MORE SAFETY FEATURES As part of its safety program, MySpace now requires all new members to register with a valid e-mail address, which they say helps law enforcement track down potential predators. New applicants will receive a verification e-mail with a link requiring them to click back and verify their identity. U.S. senators Charles Schumer and John McCain said last month they planned to introduce legislation that would require convicted sex offenders to register active e-mail addresses, expanding the existing requirements that they register personal information with local municipalities. The database of e-mail addresses would let social networking sites like MySpace bar offenders from their services by cross-checking new applicants against the database. (FOX)

The lawsuit against CNN and Nancy Grace filed by the family of Melinda Duckett has been moved from Circuit Court to Federal Court.
A wrongful death lawsuit filed against CNN’s Nancy Grace, claiming she pushed the mother of a missing toddler to suicide through aggressive questioning on her talk show, has been moved to federal court.
The case was moved from Circuit Court in the Lake County seat of Tavares to U.S. District Court in Ocala, according to a notice of removal filed Dec. 20.
Lawyers for Grace and Atlanta-based CNN asked that the case be transferred to federal court, a move allowed when opposing parties in a lawsuit reside or are headquartered in different states. The provision ensures a state court will not be biased in favor of a party from its own state. (Gainesville Sun)
The lawsuit also names Joshua Duckett, Trenton Duckett’s father as well. The Eubanks, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the estate of Melinda Duckett is also asking for a court ordered accounting of the Trenton Duckett Family Charitable Trust Fund.
Trenton’s father, Joshua Duckett, who was estranged from his wife, also was named in the lawsuit, though he had filed a response in Circuit Court demanding that he be dropped from the case.
The Eubanks want a court-ordered accounting of the Trenton Duckett Family Charitable Trust Fund, which Joshua Duckett established to solicit donations to help him search for his missing son. Their lawsuit said they “seek to ensure that any and all funds donated for locating [Trenton] are used for said purposes and not for any ill-conceived or improper purpose . . .”
The fund is run through helpfindtrenton.com. (Orlando Sentinel)

Melissa Hawach and her family are missing in Lebanon after she went to retrieve her two daughters. According to Lebanese officials there is no sign or reports as to any of their whereabouts.
In a child disappearance case spanning three continents and six months, Melissa Hawach and her father, Jim Engdahl, have not been heard from since Dec. 21, when she grabbed her daughters, Hannah, 5 and Cedar, 3, from a hotel near Beirut.
Lebanese security officials said Sunday that the whereabouts of Melissa Hawach and her two daughters are still unknown. Also, it was not known whether the woman and her daughters had left Lebanon via an illegal land crossing at the border with Syria, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media.
Hawach’s estranged husband, Joseph Hawach, had taken the girls to Lebanon – from where his family originally hails – without her permission, said Rhonda Morgan, executive director of the Missing Children Society of Canada. (Fox News)
