Relatives of a missing boy's mother who committed suicide after taping an interview for Headline News' 'Nancy Grace' show sued CNN and Grace on Tuesday, claiming the former prosecutor's questioning of the woman contributed to her death. The wrongful-death suit was filed in Lake County, Florida by Bethann and Jerry Eubank, the parents of Melinda Duckett and the representatives of her estate. It seeks unspecified damages and funeral costs. Duckett committed suicide September 8 after taping a telephone interview for Grace's show. The suit claims that Duckett agreed to appear on the show after being promised her appearance might help find her 2-year-old son, Trenton Duckett. Those promises were made by Headline News employees, the suit said, 'knowing that they intended to surprise Melinda Duckett with accusations, questions and verbal assaults clearly intending to intimate that she murdered her child.' Headline News, CNN's sister network, issued a statement saying that while it does not comment on pending litigation, 'We stand by Nancy Grace and fully support her, as we have from the beginning of this case.'
