On the Sunday evening of August 27, 2006, just after 9 PM, police responded to a call regarding a missing child in Leesburg, Florida. As the officers arrived at the scene, the mother, 21-year-old Melinda Duckett, explained that she had put her son, 2-year-old Trenton, to bed around 7 PM. She had then watched a movie with two of her friends before going to check on Trenton—but to her horror, the 2-year-old's bed was empty.
Melinda was quite sure that the little boy could not have gotten out of
the crib, but it was another thing that caused her and her friends to panic someone had cut through the window screen of the room.
