WKMG (Orlando, Florida) 19 September 06 Gator Hunt In Missing Boy  
Search Canceled
Plans to capture alligators and examine their stomachs in an area  
where crews have been searching for a missing Leesburg boy were  
called off at the last minute, according to Local 6 News report.
Monday afternoon, The Marion County Sheriff's Office asked the  
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to catch at least  
one large alligator near Farles Lake in the Ocala National Forest.
If alligators are captured, their stomachs will be examined for any  
evidence such as bone, fabric and hair remnants, a Florida Fish and  
Wildlife release said.
The alligator search was planned for Monday night. However, trappers  
decided to leave them alone since they have not bothered the divers  
and they have not been linked to Trenton's disappearance.
"The alligators are not going anywhere, they are going to be out  
there," Florida Fish and Wildlife representative Joy Hill said. "If  
the decision is made to go ahead and trap some of the larger  
alligators that are out there, we will be ready."
Divers want to swim the entire lake because of a tipster who said he  
spotted Trenton and his mother Melinda Duckett at the lake the  
weekend he vanished.
Trenton was reported missing 22 days ago by his mother, who committed  
suicide more than a week ago.
