Sebastian Rogers is still missing.

0:12.0

The 15-year-old autistic young man has been missing since February 26.

0:18.0

My girl, Nancy Grace, offered the stepdad a polygraph.

0:24.8

Stepdad says, name the place and time.

0:28.7

Nancy Grace did.

0:30.4

He's a no-show.

0:31.7

Yes, Cheryl, I was putting up that money out of my own pocket to get a very well-respected polygrapher to do the polygraph

0:40.8

and to go to the Memphis area to make it happen. All along, Proudfoot had said he would do it.

0:52.1

Then when it got right down to it, the whole thing blew up, and he blames the TBI.

Just because I don't bring it into court, it would still be a tool for me to say, hey, this

1:53.3

guy is telling the truth. Maybe he's telling the truth about other things. It's a very important

1:58.7

tool. So why wouldn't Proudfoot take the Polly? He blames the TBI.

2:04.6

My point is, why wouldn't the TBI want an additional Polly? They're a fantastic investigative tool.

2:11.1

And again, he could also take one privately. He can go do it. He can set it up through his own
