In the article, Duckett Investigators Talk To Experts In Korean Adoptions, it talks about how the investigators are seriously looking at the possibility that Trenton Duckett’s mother may have sent her son to Korea.

For those of you who haven’t heard about Trenton, he is the son of a Korean Adoptee (Melinda Duckett). Melinda reported her son missing and then, shortly after, committed suicide.

Trenton's mother, Melinda Duckett, was adopted from Korea to a family in the U.S., and she had told at least one co-worker that she wanted to expose her son to the Korean culture.

Detectives said they want to try to understand the different culture in Korea to see how people there might react to a foreign child versus in the United States.


We don’t know Melinda’s story and, from what I can gather from the articles that I’ve read, there are still a lot of questions about what happened. However, my hope is that Trenton is found alive and well.

Investigators said they have no evidence that Trenton is alive or dead or in Korea, but they continue to follow several theories and to work the case as if the toddler is alive.

Police are also looking over the passenger lists of U.S.-Korea flights from last summer. They said 12,000 people flew from the United States to Korea on the day Trenton disappeared, and detectives have to check all those names and all those flight manifests.

It would seem to me that it would be difficult to put your son on a flight to Korea, but I’m glad that they are looking at all avenues.
