On August 27, 2006, two-year-old Trenton Duckett was tucked safely into bed at his home in Leesburg, Florida. But when his mother, Melinda Duckett, went to check on him, she said she found an open window, a sliced screen, and an empty bed. She immediately called 911, launching a frantic search for the missing toddler. But as investigators dug deeper, Melinda's story began to fall apart, and in its place was deception, a bitter custody dispute, and a mystery that remains unsolved to this day.
Anyone with information related to the disappearance of Trenton Duckett is urged to call the Leesburg, Florida police department at 352-787-2121.
