True Crime Bullsh**

The NAMUS-45: Trenton Duckett

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

When a young child goes missing from a Florida apartment complex, police must examine histories of abuse, murky allegations, and contradictory timelines. As the investigation moves forward, media appearances complicate things and ultimately lead to more tragedy. And this case that Israel Keyes was almost certainly not involved in, brings more attention to his activity in Florida. 

Written and Researched by Michelle Tooker. 
Edited and Produced by Josh Hallmark.
