(November 22, 2006) - - A Lockport couple who's suing a CNN journalist is breaking their silence over the death of their daughter and the search for their missing grandson. News 4's Michele McClintick reports.
21 year old Melinda Duckett was the mother of two year old Trenton Duckett, who has been missing since August.
Melinda did a phone interview on CNN's Nancy Grace Show on September 7th. One day later, the young mother took her life.
Her parents in Lockport were outraged by the talk show hosts harsh, accusatory line of questioning. The segment aired just hours after her death.
Melinda's father, Jerry Eubank: "It was 3-4 hours after I heard that Mindy died and I'm watching this woman banging the table, and screaming about why aren't you telling us this, I mean she was judge, jury and executioner."
Melinda's mother, Beth Eubank: "She physically makes me ill. The night she aired the show on September 8th, it was less than four hours since Mindy's death, family members had not even been notified."
CNN had this response to the news that the Lockport couple is now suing Nancy Grace: "While we have no comment on pending litigation, we stand by Nancy Grace and fully support her, as we have from the beginning of this matter."
You may be right..... but read post # 7 for some background on her.
I heard her on the radio with Glenn Beck last week and she really seemed like a really nice, down to earth, and funny southern girl. It was amazing.
I am not sure what to think of her. I'll wait and see.
I don't know if a guilty conscience was responsible, or the utter humiliation of being accused on nation teevee--but I do wonder about the recent spate of sightings of the missing child. What if the child wasn't killed at all? What will Nasty Grace have to say then?
Drat--"nation" should be "national"--the cooking aromas are intoxicating around here! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Grace-less is on a vendetta against the cruise ship line where the hubby took a header off his balcony while his drunken wife was busy elsewhere. She's going to have a real law suit against her one of these days.
