Investigators in Leesburg, Fla., said they found signs that someone may have broken into a bedroom where a 2-year-old boy mysteriously vanished Sunday night, according to a Local 6 News report.
Detectives said Trenton Duckett disappeared from his Griffin Road home in Leesburg Sunday night and an Amber Alert was issued.
The boy's mother said she saw her son at about 7 p.m. but when she went to check on him, he was gone.
Police noticed signs of foul play while checking the boy's window.
"When they looked at the window, they saw some suspicious signs that maybe somebody forced their way into that window," Local 6 reporter Samantha Knapp said. "So, right now, police are taking this case very seriously."
"In the 21 years I've been here, we have never been looking at anything like a potential abduction-type case where it may be a stranger," Leesburg police Capt. Steve Rockefeller said. "We have had parent involvement, parent interference and other domestic-type situations. Obviously we are looking at all angles in this case and we just want to get Trenton home."
Trenton is about 3-feet tall and weighs about 40 pounds. He has brown eyes and brown hair.
Anyone with information concerning this crime is urged to call Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS.
