ORLANDO, Fla. -- Investigators found a 2-year-old boy's photographs, toys and a sonogram image in a trash bin at his mother's apartment complex a day after he was reported missing last month, a Florida Department of Law Enforcement spokeswoman said Wednesday.

The potential evidence in the case was found Aug. 28 at the Windemere Villas apartment complex in Leesburg where Trenton Duckett's mother, Melinda Duckett, lived, FDLE spokeswoman Susie Murphy said.

Leesburg police Capt. Steve Rockefeller would not confirm the findings, but he said authorities had focused on investigating Duckett, 21, who killed herself with a shotgun on Sept. 8. Her family blamed the pressure from the investigation and the national media attention that her case drew.

Rockefeller said authorities concentrated their resources on three areas. The least amount went to Joshua Duckett, Trenton's father. Authorities spent more time on an outside abduction scenario. They have spent the most time on Melinda Duckett.

But they still "haven't labeled anyone as a suspect," Rockefeller said.

The search effort, which is being conducted by Leesburg police, the FBI and the FDLE, continues to focus on establishing Melinda and Trenton's whereabouts in the roughly 27 hours leading up to his reported disappearance.

Police have received many tips, some of them conflicting, about Melinda's activities before Trenton was reported missing. Duckett told her attorney that she took her son and her shotgun to the Ocala National Forest on Aug. 27, then became lost and drove around central Florida for several hours.

Other tipsters put Melinda alone in Leesburg the day Trenton was reported missing. Investigators initially focused on a cut in a window screen in Duckett's apartment, through which Trenton could have conceivably been taken.

For the past four days, searchers have picked their way around in the forest, and have explored underwater in Farles lake, but nothing directly linked to the case has been found. The search in the lake will continue.
