In Late 2006, CNN talk show host Nancy Grace was charged with wrongful death by the family of a 21 year old Florida mother. The mother had committed suicide days after being confronted on-air by Nancy Grace about the whereabouts of the mother’s missing two year old son. The mother, Melinda Ducket, was not a named a suspect in the disappearance of her son, but Grace, with a background in prosecution, pressed the issue of whereabouts of the boy. The mother was completely broke down by Grace’s insinuating remarks that she had killed her son. The mother eventually took her own life just hours before the pre-taped appearance was set to air. Ducket’s family alleged that Grace intentionally inflicted emotional distress on their daughter by angrily insinuating that she had killed her son, driving the mother to take her own life. The Ducket family’s lawsuit against Grace is still winding its way through court system.
This story sounds frighteningly familiar to the Casey Anthony case that is currently still under investigation in Orlando.
