Billy Eubank celebrates his 80th birthday today. I wish him and his precious wife Nancy many more years to come. For the past few months he has battled high blood pressure and resulting stomach bouts which included time spent in the hospital undergoing numerous tests. He has had to curtail some of his duties at their church. The doctor told him it was all caused by STRESS. Can't imagine what stress both he and Nancy have endured over the past eight years!
While Josh Duckett has gone on with his life (he married Debi Doster his girlfriend of 4 years on March 3, 2012) and his mother purchased the Tompkins Flower Shop in Bushnell, Billy and Nancy wake up every morning next to the bedroom where Melinda's faceless body was found by Nancy. Every morning they pray for Trenton and believe that one day they will know the truth and that Melinda will be vindicated.
Here is a letter that Billy wrote on April 8, 2009 when CNN was taking depositions.
This is Billy with Mindy on August 14, 2006, the day of her 21st birthday and Trenton's 2nd birthday.
This is a picture of me and Billy. I will never give up looking for Trenton and vindicating Melinda's name. They stole her son, her life and her reputation. And this is my promise to my "detective buddy" Billy Eubank...One Day...May Truth Prevail!
