Bushnell Police Public Records April 6, 2005

Five years ago...

Josh Duckett called the DCF hotline and filed a complaint that Melinda (Eubank) Duckett was harming their son Trenton.  Here is the public record of that police incident case number 2005-041183.

Miss Crew stated that the allegations (those made by JOSH DUCKETT) were UNFOUNDED and that the child (TRENTON) was in good health and that his living enviornment was also good.

Officer Vaughan stated "I asked Mr. Duckett to leave the residence".

He also stated "Mrs. Crew (DCF) and myself left the residence SATISFIED THAT THE CHILD (TRENTON) WAS IN NO HARM."

It's the SAME Picture - Just Plug in a Name

There are certain individuals with an agenda that are coming against mothers who are victims of having their children taken or killed, depicting them like a Susan Smith. In California, recently another mother Katie Tagle tried to get a restraining order against her ex boyfriend to protect her and their son Wyatt. The judge  denied it. The father, on a visitation with his 9 month old child Wyatt, took him and killed him then committed suicide.

The people with the agenda came out stating and giving as evidence in this case that Katie taunted her ex boyfriend with a porn picture of her and her new boyfriend and sent a picture of her performing a sexual act on a man while feeding her child a bottle. Sound familiar?

IT'S THE SAME STILL PICTURE that was touted as Melinda Duckett.

Here is the comment about Katie Tagle from the Examiner Board by a Michael A. posted March 20, 2010

Perhaps the story that isn’t told here is that Katie Tagle SENT PICTURES OF HERSELF GIVING ORAL SEX TO HER NEW BF, WITH GENITALIA IN CLEAR VIEW, ONE HAND “ON HIM”, THE OTHER HAND FEEDING THE BABY WITH A BOTTLE, AND SENT THESE TO THE BABY’S FATHER WITH THE SUBTEXT “WYWY HAS A NEW DADDY NOW”.


That is a “caring mother”? A “battered woman”? Someone you defend?


The highly explicit, adult picture Katie Tagle took and sent to the baby’s father is visible here, as picture 5 out of 5. This is in the public domain as it was part of the court proceedings.

Here is Josh Ducketts comments from the Nancy Grace Show:

Nancy Grace Show November 16, 2006


DUCKETT: It was sent, a link to us on the Internet, and it actually popped up with the photo that had Trenton in it.
GRACE: So you haven`t seen any portion of it?
DUCKETT: No.
GRACE: Have you seen a still of it?
DUCKETT: I`ve seen the still that had Trenton in the background.
GRACE: What did you see? I don`t want to go into any description of sex on the air...
DUCKETT: ... and there`s a picture of her with a guy holding -- and she was reaching over her shoulder, holding a bottle for Trenton.
GRACE: Could you make out that it was Trenton`s face?
DUCKETT: Yes.
GRACE: Are you sure it was Trenton?
DUCKETT: Almost 100 percent.
GRACE: From your knowledge, did anything look doctored about the picture?
DUCKETT: Not at all.

Just now I was reading on the You be the judge board (the site I linked you to in my last comment) and there is a rumor that an officer saw a tan car with a little boy being pushed to the floor. The driver(s?) didn't want anybody to see this child , why is that? If this rumor is true there is chance that the little boy may have been Trenton. If this is true this may the break in the case we need!


IDK , I'm inclined to believe it.


Here is the public records from the Tan Car incident. Lt. Kevin Vaughn was running for sheriff of Volusia County in 2008.

Sheriff


By Gary Taylor, Sentinel Staff Writer
October 19, 2008


"In the Nov. 4 election, Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson is being challenged by another veteran lawman, Kevin N. Vaughn, who is on leave from the Florida Highway Patrol for his first run for public office. Johnson, 58, and Vaughn, 43, have spent most of their adult lives in law enforcement, and they are competing to run an agency that provides law enforcement for unincorporated Volusia County and three cities -- Deltona, DeBary and Pierson. History Johnson is seeking his third four-year term as sheriff. "


Lt Vaughn had a forum for questions. I asked him about the Tan Car incident where there was a possibilty that Trenton could have been the child in that car. Kevin Vaughn replied to my post to look up the case number, which I did and is posted below. He didn't win the election.

The Contents of Melinda Duckett's Purse

A purse or pocketbook for a woman holds items that are important to them. It was no different for Melinda Duckett.

On the day she died, her purse was found on the front seat of her locked car along with her laptop computer, a box of Froot Loops and her neatly folded "suicide" notes on the center console.

Among the precious pictures she kept of Trenton in her purse, she also kept a letter she received from a special someone in her life. 

Biological Psychological Evaluation Requested by DCF for Joshua Duckett

Earlier on this website, I posted the article The Mall Incident, which you can view here http://duckettbucket.blogspot.com/2009/08/mall-incident.html

Below is the Lady Lake Police Report regarding this incident as to when Josh Duckett came to take Trenton once again from Melinda. This time, after having gone to the day care center with no luck, he went to the police station in Lady Lake and made a statement that Melinda threatened to harm Trenton, that she grabbed the child by the neck and threatened to break it. He said that the only place Trenton would be other than the daycare was at the grandparents home.

Also note that in this report, the police found NOTHING. They notated bruises on Melinda's arm and NO marks on Trenton. They also took pictures as did the Eubanks. Once again, Josh lied.

DCF stated to the detective in this report that the mother (Melinda Duckett) MUST take anger management classes and the father (Joshua Duckett) MUST take a BIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION.

Where is THIS EVALUATION?  What mental issues does Joshua Duckett have that has been kept hidden?  It seems it's alright for Melinda's evaluations to be spread all over, but NOT Josh's? Sounds like he and Nancy Grace have a lot in common. It's okay for everyone else to be embarrassed...just not them.

Words of Encouragement - God Sent

I have received a lot of emails that have encouraged me as I continue to write this blog. Some have thanked me for finally hearing what they have determined to be Melinda Duckett's voice in all this tragedy.

But earlier today I received the following email and I take it as words of encouragement...God sent.  What's even more amazing about the timing of this email, is tomorrow is Bill and Nancy Eubank's 57th wedding anniversary. I am happy to share this with you.

"Because I am a personal friend of Nancy Eubank's, I want to thank you for not only posting this beautiful picture of Nancy with her grand daughter but for also posting with it the beautiful poem that Melinda wrote about who her grandmother "is"...I so appreciate the fact that you did this because I don't know of a godlier woman than Nancy Eubank!

Her husband, Billy, is as godly a man as Nancy is a godly woman, and, together, they make one of THE most godliest couples I've ever had the privilege of meeting because their love for one another is the very kind that Christ intended should exist between a husband and a wife...and the reason that Nancy and Billy share this kind of Christ-like marriage is because they are both in love with Jesus Christ...which is the only kind of self-less love a marriage can be built on if it wants to be a godly marriage that bears witness to the fact that one's marriage is "in Him"....

I firmly believe that, had it not been for Nancy and Billy's faith, they never would have been able to deal with not only their heart wrenching loss of their grand-daughter, but with what was also the trauma of their nightmare of having to visually "see" their "slaughtered" loved one when they opened their closet!

Maytruthprevail, I appreciate all the work you have done, on behalf of vindicating Melinda and on behalf of endeavoring to make her death be a little less in vain by trying to make others aware of the fact of the very real crime that was committed against Melinda by her husband, and mother-in-law, and by Nancy Grace.

It tore my heart out to see the picture of the closet that Nancy and Billy so often speak of, but I am glad that you have posted it on your web because, just maybe, if others' hearts are as broken, as mine was, upon having to "look upon" the tragic way Melinda died they may be moved to try and take a stand against what caused her tragic death!"

The Window - Someone Didn't Do Their Homework

From the airing of the Nancy Grace show Sept 27, 2006 http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0609/27/ng.01.html

"GRACE: Trenton reportedly went missing. Steph, what have you learned?

STEPH WATTS, NANCY GRACE PRODUCER: Well, Nancy, a couple of interesting things. The first thing is, as I was at the house today, I wanted to tell you that it`s really the perfect place to commit a crime, but it`s also the perfect place to stage a crime. And I`ll tell you why.

The window was about chest height for me. So somebody could actually get in and out of the window. And there`s an empty parking lot or an empty lot right beside the house. And one thing I want to clear up is, it`s not an apartment, Nancy. It`s a condominium. It`s a single-story dwelling at the end of the row of units, so there`s a lot of privacy. And the garbage can is about 100 feet in the front of the house where they found some of Trenton`s items.

GRACE: Steph Watts is with us. He is one of our show`s producers. Steph, tell me about this window. How far up off the ground is it?

WATTS: Well, Nancy, it`s about chest height on me. I`m about 5`10", so it would be about I would say about five feet off the ground. But there is an air-conditioner right beside the window that`s about two feet off the ground. So you could get up on the air-conditioner and see right in the window or get in the window.

But the window is right beside the sliding glass doors into the living room. So it`s unlikely that you would be up on the air-conditioner or in that window without hearing it in the living room because it`s a small unit."

Sorry, Steph Watts, but you get an F on your homework.
That was Melinda's bedroom not Trenton's.

First of all the aparment complex is made up of "five" plexes, not a condominium which here in Florida would normally be a "high rise" consisting of 100 units where people own their own apartment.

Secondly, and most important is you were peering into Melinda's bedroom at the back of the complex. Trenton's bedroom is in the front on the right of the front door.  There is no airconditioning unit in the front and the glass sliding doors are to the living room in the back.

You were right about being able to access the bedroom through the window, but you wouldn't need an airconditioner unit to stand on. You could simply stand on a "friend's" knee. or a 6"4" - 8" person could lean in through the 10" x 32" opening and pull Trenton out.
