Sex Offenders Questioned In Search For Boy

POSTED: Wednesday, August 30, 2006
UPDATED: 12:54 pm EDT August 30, 2006

A search continued Wednesday for a 2-year-old in Leesburg, Fla., who mysteriously vanished from his bedroom over the weekend.

Detectives said Trenton Duckett disappeared from his Griffin Road home in Leesburg Sunday night, and an Amber Alert was issued.

On Wednesday, investigators said they were questioning people in the boy's neighborhood and registered sex offenders in the area.

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."

Leesburg police said the boy is in danger.

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.
