Mother’s suicide not my fault, says host

A US talk show host whose techniques have come under fire when the mother of a missing boy killed herself a day after she was grilled by the TV presenter was unrepentant yesterday.

CNN’s Nancy Grace said she believed “guilt”, not her interview on Headline News, had driven Melinda Duckett, 21, to suicide.

The woman’s two-year-old son Trenton disappeared late last month.
