One Day...August 23, 2006

Wednesday, August 23, 2006 Melinda wrote in her agenda:
Run (keeping in shape for the police academy)
One Stop Referrals (job search)
Straighten out Avon/Olympia (Melinda was Avon Rep)
Billy Eubank wrote in later that Melinda had lost her daycare assistance - because she had lost her job at TruGreen. Now she had to pay the $125 in full without any reimbursement.

This was found in Melinda's trash

Here is Melinda's myspace for August 23, 2006

Here is an excerpt from Melinda's myspace from "Jason":

Here is Melinda's reply to Lissa about Friday night. Apparently Melinda was going to a party in Clearwater and wouldn't be back in time to hang with Lissa. (this was a girl she worked with at the Bank of America, along with Nikole Diaz)

Here is the Lake County Circuit Court information on Melinda's divorce from Josh Duckett. Note the dates:

Here it is  Wednesday, only four days before Trenton goes missing.  There is a "very mad crowd at Melinda" over there in Sumter County where Josh Duckett lives. Josh had been to see his father in prison on August 12, 2006 and found out that Melinda showed James Duckett the copy of the threatening email, and that his father was paying money to Melinda for Trenton's child support because Josh was not paying. Josh caught up the child support for the July 12 restraining order hearing, but did NOT pay July's payment nor August's payment. Why wouldn't he pay? Especially since he was in contempt for non-payment before? Why was there such a "mad crowd" over in Sumter County? Melinda was having "issues" with Josh since August 12 (and the threatening email July 3, 2006 when Josh's mother was served the contempt of court for non payment of child support papers).  Melinda was trying to go by the "book". She had her attorney file papers incorporating the restraining order with her divorce.

Melinda wanted to hire someone to "talk some sense into Josh", but it never happened. She kept Trenton close to her at all times. And in her own tearful words to Billy Eubank, "I was suppose to protect him (Trenton) but he was taken right out from under my nose".

Why can no one see what really happened here?

One Day...August 22, 2006

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 Melinda's agenda:
Call Int of Publics (Publix?) for deadline on apps (application?)
One Stop before 10 - jobcore
John? (Fiveash) 7:30 pm Ramsh. (Ramshackles Restaurant)

Melinda Duckett's Myspace entries for August 22, 2006

This is a myspace posting to Kyle Bowden from Chen's sister Anna telling him she was coming to Florida around the time Trenton went missing. Police believed Melinda handed Trenton off to Anna but they were mistaken.

Melinda wrote in her agenda that she was meeting John at Ramshackles. This is John Fiveash who worked with her delivering newspapers for the Villages Sun. He was one of the many people she contacted to get $5,000 to protect her and Trenton because she was having issues with Josh Duckett. (She was contacting any and everyone after August 12, 2006 when Josh had visited his father in prison)  Fiveash told Melinda he wanted to meet up with her to discuss it face to face. He suggested Ramshackles as he remembered she told him she lived in that area. Melinda then told him to just come to the apartment.  Here is John Fiveash's statement to Leesburg Police on August 31, 2006:



Then on September 6, Fiveash went back to the detectives and gave an additional statement.

After reading the statement and listening to the actual audio recordings of John Fiveash, I noticed that he worked in Ocala, Florida within a short distance from where I live. Here is what I wrote on a private forum regarding my meeting with John Fiveash.



I have spoken to John Fiveash a number of times. He says he was curious as to why Josh Duckett wasn't showing any "urgency" in finding Trenton. He wanted to discuss this with the Leesburg Police but they basically blew him off.  During the Casey Anthony trial he called me again and wanted to arrange a meeting but it never happened.

His comment about Melinda having a friend in the Navy (Nicole Diaz in her statement to Leesburg Police mentioned Nick Kristaf in New York).  Melinda had another friend in the military Stev Wilson. I published Stev's letter to Melinda in this article http://duckettbucket.blogspot.com/2010/03/contents-of-melinda-ducketts-purse.html

I contacted Stev Wilson on his facebook account and he sent me this email. He also called Billy Eubank and stated the same information to him on the phone. Here is that email:

Then also on the 22nd she wrote to Rybear (Ryan Misener) on his myspace account. Here is that post that talks about "bad news".

  I also contacted Ryan Misener on his facebook account and here is his message to me.

"I just know she talked about him like he was her everything"



100,000! Thank You for Your Support

This is only one day's activity of readers of this website. People from all over the world, including Korea, Japan, Viet Nam, the Philippines, Hawaii, South America, Europe, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Africa, the Mid East and the United States have spent a lot of time viewing all the articles and documents on my blog "Was It Really Worth It". Thank you ever so much. Together we can help solve this mystery and learn the truth.

I appreciate all the support from other websites. It blew me away when author Dave Lucas who had previously maligned Melinda Duckett in his article "Melinda Duckett Home Business"  http://melindaduckettshomebusiness.blogspot.com/ had a complete turnaround in his opinion of the case after reading this blog and created a button labeled "start" on his website that when you click on it, it brings you directly to my website here.

Websleuths is a very popular forum for crime sleuths which I joined in September 2006 and posted as Maytruthprevail. A fellow poster sindydee who had not been involved with the Trenton Duckett case until recently sent me these encouraging words which were music to my ears.

Then August of this year The Daily Commercial read my article "Josh Duckett - Grieving Father - Send Money" http://duckettbucket.blogspot.com/2011/08/josh-duckettgrieving-fathersend-money.html and contacted me for an interview. Here is their front page article "Five Years Gone - One Woman's Search for Trenton Duckett" published on the 5 year anniversary of Trenton Duckett's disappearance August 27, 2006.



Every telephone conversation that I have had with Nancy and Billy Eubank over these past 5 years has ended with a prayer:  Jesus Christ knows what has happened to our precious grandson Trenton. My prayer is that before we die...

ONE DAY...we will know the truth.

Below is her post on GhettoMario's myspace. Guessing maybe she met him at Chili's.

Here is the expanded version of Melinda's message to Nicholas  (Nick Krystaf) Nikole's statement referred to a conversation on the night of August 12, 2006 the same day Josh visited his father in prison.

One Day...August 20, 2006

Sunday, August 20, 2006 Melinda wrote in her agenda:

"Pierce" (Chris Pearce)

They went to a movie together and Chris helped her move this office cabinet into her closet.

Here is the comment on Myspace about it:

Then she posts these items on her myspace:

In her myspace post to Chris, she jokes about Trenton not being able to complain if she should move some of her things into his closet. That's because he doesn't say a lot of words, not that she is going to get rid of him. This is 7 days before his disappearance.

Where's"The Plan"?

One Day...August 19, 2006

Saturday, August 19, 2006 Melnda's agenda:

6 PM Car Show

Flea Market?

11:30 Mike Johnson (could have been a real estate agent - not verified)

Car show held 3rd Saturday of every month time 6 PM - 9 PM in Winter Garden Florida.

From the minutes of Winter Garden Commission talking about the August 19, 2006 car show.

Matt's response to her blog she posted at 3:13 PM.

She made a purchase at the SuperWalmart 3 minutes from her house at 9:11 PM (receipt from trash pull in dumpster).

Looking at Melinda's activities prior to Trenton's disappearance, it doesn't appear that she is making any plans to "give him away" so she can get on with her life. It appears that life for Melinda and Trenton is "life as usual". 

Melinda had plans for the future, she wanted to make a career for herself in law enforcement and she wanted to give the son that she loved a good stable home. Melinda always worked, and Melinda always took care of Trenton when she had custody of him.

Why would Melinda, who fought so hard for two years to KEEP her son with her, why would she "give him away" or worse kill him? Does it make sense? NO! So what other possibilites are there?
WHO was it that was always trying to get Trenton AWAY from Melinda? WHY was Melinda frantic to get her hands on thousands of dollars to PROTECT her and Trenton? WHO was threatening her? And WHAT WOULD MOTIVATE Melinda to jeopardize EVERYTHING she worked so hard to gain since she had Trenton?

Melinda Duckett...A Kiss Goodbye

When you lose something.

it's all that you want back.

You waited patiently.

But it don't work like that.

When you lose someone,

the first thing that goes through your head,

is if you run fast enough,

you just might catch up.

But it don't work like that.

You just gotta watch it fly.

Stand there on the side line.

Wanna swallow up your pride.

Know it's gonna be alright.

Wishing when I close your eyes

With a kiss goodbye...

Well the hardest part,

Yeah it hurts so bad,

is when she spreads her wings,

but it'd be a selfish thing,

to try and hold her back,

but it don't work like that.

When you lose something

It's all that you want back.

You just gotta watch it fly.

Stand there on the side line

Wanna swallow up your pride,

know it's gonna be alright,

wishing i could close your eyes,

with a kiss goodbye...

Rest in Peace Melinda
