The latest Trenton Duckett news.

Trenton Duckett was last seen in late August after his mother, Melinda, reported him missing from their apartment in Leesburg.

Melinda Duckett committed suicide days later.

Now, investigators are looking into the possibility that Duckett sent her son to Korea.

"We do have certain individuals who stated that Melinda had talked about her roots and possibly sending little Trenton back to his roots," Marion County Sheriff's Office Maj. Chris Blair said. "We are working with customs and issuing some subpoenas. They are aiding us in trying to obtain information on people who were located on certain flights."

Detectives have no solid proof that the boy was shipped to Asia, the report said.

Marion County investigators said they believe Duckett, who was born in Korea but was adopted by a New York family when she was a baby, may have handed off her son to someone near a Belleview restaurant last year.

Its good police are pursuing this avenue(but why now? Its almost five months since Trenton's disapearance, and you'd think this would have been checked out long ago.) but I doubt anything will come of it. Other than Melinda being born in South Korea, the mother had no known ties to or friends in the country. Besides what person is going to fly a child half way around the world that isn't their own?
