I say SHAME ON VINNY for broadcasting the sleeping situations and details about the interior of the house. What on earth is he thinking? The house may be on Real Estate websites, but telling the world where the family members SLEEP is wrong, and dangerous. Clearly, Vinny has never spent time with modern-day home invaders. They love this stuff.
In my opinion mom and stepdad seem to be hiding some stuff. They allegedly never went out to search for this little boy and in my opinion when you don’t go looking for something that supposedly means so much to you it’s because you already know where it is and it’s sad to say but that’s what I believe. I also believe that the stepfathers parents have something to do with it as well. If what Chris’s ex wife says is true then they are just as bad as he is. My question is why did they go on vacation? Did the cops follow them to see what they were doing and where they trying to Dispose of something on the way there or back. as far as the ex-wife has said, we already know how much they want to keep Chris’s daughter away from her and have her be with Chris her father, so maybe that couldn’t happen with Sebastian in the picture with this new Info that came out about him being SA’d Chris calling him horrible names and wanted to keep him away from her. So unfortunately, in order for that to happen, they would have to have him mysteriously disappear. I don’t know maybe I’m crazy for thinking all of this, but there’s a reason this boy has not been found and there’s a reason why his mom and stepfather has not gone out looking for him. My heart goes out to his biological father Seth and brakes for him at the same time. I pray every day that they find this boy alive and bring him home to his dad!! I know if this was God forbid ever to be a situation that somebody I know was in or in myself you wouldn’t be pulling me off the streets I would be on the streets day in and day out, searching for my child so it really blows my mind when a parent or parents don’t go out and search at all. And the last thing on my mind is why won’t Chris take a polygraph he blames it on the cop saying not to or he don’t need to because he was not in the area but then he tells Nancy he will take one for her to then only cancel it with her. If that doesn’t scream red flags all over it then honestly I don’t know what does.
EXACTLY! I have personal experience with this and I cannot even begin to express how this enrages me. I made my ex leave the house immediately and turned his ass in to the police. No hesitation whatsoever! I cannot wrap my brain around the idea of a mother choosing a man over her child!
Bc she's focused on getting the STORY correct which blocks out any genuine emotion. If she even has any genuine emotion to begin with. Those two are guilty as sin. The police seem like they have nothing on them but I hope Iam so wrong.
Not comparing being a parent to having pets. But I was more nerve wrecked when my dog got out for HALF A DAY than what I've seen from some of these cases. I feel my anxiety for my dog going missing should be the BASELINE for parents with kids missing.
I feel like bc Sebastian is autistic; she’d be more inclined to check on what the noise could be. IF she had any concern for her son. Sounds made up. Like a diversion.
No scent from dogs, no shoes missing, nothing taken as if he ran away, mom works for brinks but no security, did aliens abduct him? Mom an step dad "ok he could be anywhere we out of here", not searching for him.. yeah.. checks out. *serious side eye*
I’m not expert on autism, but I am a mom, and if I heard a thud, my first reaction would be to run to my kid’s room to make sure they were ok. The math isn’t mathing
As a mum of special needs children u do go check because they could be doing anything! Even if they were not “special” yes a mum u go and check something smells fishy with his “mum”
I'm not a parent but that'd be my first reaction too like jeez if I hear a thud in the middle of the night im gonna investigate regardless of someone being there or not...
i have a feeling the stepdad was actually home that night. something happened to where the stepdad and/or mom harmed him.. then the stepdad traveled back to wherever for "work" and put his body somewhere in between. his mother not going out searching is very telling.
They said he was out that evening with family for dinner and cousins were there. How old are cousins? Could they have made plans with Sebastian to sneak out and meet up that night?
@@deborahmazza8123 wish it was that, sadly I believe its more sinister. The boy had been sexually abused and the step father thought his daughter (from a previous relationship that stayed sometimes) was going to be at risk of Sebastian SA'ing her. (This bloke beat his autistic step son with a belt, he's aggressive). So there's the motive.
I agree. He claims he doesn't know if he still has a job. I feel the mom and real dad need to put their pride aside and work together. Pray he is found safe. 🙏🏻
I have a son with Autism . I hear a thud in his room I’m hauling Ass to his room! Usually it’s his door slamming because of the wind but I still head straight to his room n make sure he’s good!! And if my son left the house I’d be out day n night looking for him because he would get lost and turned around! I CALL BULLSHIT!!
Can’t the search dogs detect scents up to seven days old? In that case shouldn’t they have still been able to detect Sebastian’s scent since he was still going to school and stuff the week before he went missing?
Seth breaks my heart, he is so clearly choking back with every word he says. He kept his composure the whole time too. One extremely important and noteworthy attribute about Seth is that there isn’t one fake or phony thing about him. He and his emotions are true and real unlike many of the “mothers” of a lot of these missing children who are so visibly obviously phony!
Ok, now based on the ME Report, time to arrest the mother Jenn Soto. At least for neglect of a child. Once arrested she will start to talk, in an attempt to become a witness rather than a suspect.
That's why they're not searching. Or staying home just in case he's found. Sebastian is missing to Seth, Seth's mother and the rest of the world, but he's not missing in the eyes of the Proudfoots.
When the mother and the stepfather was being interviewed, I got a real strange feeling in the behavior wasn’t quite right. She kept looking at him to answer the questions she was getting approval or should I say this or something I don’t know, but I got bad feelings, bad vibes.
She's hesitant in case he has the urge to cut in and talk all over her if she says something he wants to disagree with like Don Wells would do with Candus.
@@rhondasisco-cleveland2665 I heard her say in a different interview she drove around. I wish they would just tell the truth and bring Sebastian home!!
If she was panicking then the vital information you need to relay to 911 won’t come across properly. I agree if it was the mother calling then yes it’s suspicious but by making this comment about another family member who seems to have had no idea what was going on then your implicating she was in on it.
@@kshejohnson9207 You don't have to be out of your mind running like a lunatic, but you have to be somewhat human,and not a robot or a unconscious serial killer.
Seth has kept himself on a very tight rein for weeks, when he is interviewed - he can't continue that forever and we are seeing that now. My heart breaks for him. He needs all our support. As for the Proudfoots, I have major questions!
I don't know what level of ASD Sebastian has been diagnosed with, but we have a nonverbal 4yr old with ASD and all our doors/windows (exit/entry points) are fully secured. Cctvs and alarms are all in place... AND I always have my eye on my child, she even sleeps in the same room as we do. I might be overprotective or doing "too much" but, I DGAF, better safe than sorry. I hope you are safe, I hope you are well.. Sebastian. ❤
Seth said Sebastian had a chromosome disorder he takes meds for. Likely without it he could have seizures. Man, this is so sad the more things come out..
You're definitely not doing too much, only you know your child and how to keep them safe. My nephew has nonverbal ASD and he escaped out of his bedroom window one night because his parents didn't install his air conditioner correctly. Thankfully, their dog barked until they woke up so they found him before he got too far. It's way better to be safe than sorry.
Vinnie, you are an outstanding host and a champion stalwart of criminal cases especially these involving children. I'm always looking forward to your coverage including the trials. Your stability is appreciated.
If you notice on the 911 call that was made by Jen's sister she says to the operator "I called not long ago to report a missing child and no one showed up yet" so this leads me to believe that the 3 calls to 911 were all made within short span of time, furthermore when Jen heard that the police are on their way she decided to go back to Madeline school to "double check".. checking for what? Why didn't check before why now when the police needs the info from the ppl whom seen her last, plus school was closed hours ago.. It's like Jenn didn't want to meet the police, one more thing have you noticed Jen took a while to answer and tell her sister what Madeline wearing.
The way they keep looking at each other as she slowly picks and chooses the words very carefully and looks to him as if she's being careful not to slip up. And most of all NO TEAR'S, NO EMOTION....And she seems to close her eyes when talking at times.....
Exactly. Attendance calls are automated and automatic literally everywhere. Jenn is a LIAR. If school started at 9 they texted and called by 9:30 etc. She knew
I said this over a week ago. If Maddie didn't show up for school, why wouldn't they have called her mother? Jenn didn't know until 4:30 when she went to pick her up? Not likely.
@@cindee1794 Our school district calls in the morning but this school/district did call in the afternoons; they just recently changed that because of Maddes case. So, she is telling the truth about the attendance call.
@@CBrown86no not literally everywhere. It should be in the morning I agree with that but it’s not everywhere her school didn’t send it out until late afternoon.
when i got s-assaulted as a child, i basically immediately told my mom. we were extremely close and she could tell something happened, so i told her and she helped me recover. Madeline’s mother was either in on it or horrifically absent from her daughter’s life/had no relationship with her daughter. how is that she as a mother never EVER in 5(?) yrs recognized what was going on? she simply knew and didn’t care or she just didn’t know her kid. that’s just wild to me.
THE MOM AND STEPDAD ARE CLEARLY LYING. Their story keeps changing and expanding on significant points that should not be changing. That is evidence of foul play
Hughes is the ABSOLUTE WORST to ask or get info on this case! First he hasn’t even been covering this case until LAST NIGHT admitted by him and second he ALWAYS goes against others just for clicks & blocks ANYONE who doesn’t agree !
Both these cases have alot of similarities. Breaks my heart for both. Fact that they went missing the same day. Step dads that are POS. Suppose to protect our young not harm them.
Yep but with Maddie it was her mom's boyfriend and she probably knows something. But when Sebastian's case it does seem like it was the mom who killed her child and step dad helped hide the evidence. But both mom's do act a lot like each other. Except I feel like Katie is so angry.
I bet if they interrogated Sebastian's mom separates nowhere near her husband she would break down because he is keeping her from saying something you can tell he will not let her do an interview by herself
What makes you think they haven't questioned her without her husband, seriously? Of course they have. YT interviews have nothing to do with LE, Thank God. It's vile what is taking place on social media, for shame. Sebastian deserves better than all of this, it's not our business & it's mind blowing that anyone finds it ok for this ok to be publicly blasted to the world. Take a minute and think about this being broadcasted about your child or a child you know and love, imagine how that child would feel. WTF is wrong with ppl.
@@y2ksurvivor With all due respect, you are rather "naive" if you do not believe that interviewing her alone is one of the very first things LE did, not to mention the TBI, whom has also stated they've met with her without CP. My faith, or lack there of, in LE is irrelevant & has nothing to do w/ standard procedures. Now if I put my faith into finding facts in the assumptions, speculations & narratives of commentators, channel holders & ppl on YT, that would be incredibly naive, it goes without saying.
Great show Vinnie, as usual. Love the synopsis before each case; it's easier to follow especially when they're new (to me). I look forward to your show & your YT channel too. 👨🏽⚖️⚖️
No caring mother would leave the house knowing her missing child might come home!! I know a lady whose daughter went missing in 1990, and she still lives at the same house in hopes her daughter will make it home!
The reason why Mom don't want to be home is because she was the one that got into the argument with Sebastian it brings bad memories and she can't stand to be in there because of what happened he just came and got rid of the body so that she wouldn't go to jail and he's keeping her to her story
Bingo 💯 That's exactly what I think happened. Katie lost her temper with Sebastian. Seth said that Katie said on that Thursday b4 he went missing that Katie wanted it to be a good weekend and she didn't want any problems with Sebastian basically. If she really is an alcoholic then I swear I can picture her being a mean drunk. I think she's way more conniving than any of us realize. She's putting up a front/blocking out all of her emotions of what she did to Sebastian on Sunday night.😢
Haha I dont think you understood. Everyone knows they are guilty, but you seem to nnow everything that the police dont. You can go back to school and learn something. @@y2ksurvivor
My son has full custody of his high functioning autistic son. Highly intelligent young boy with some issues in Social functioning. The birth mother couldn't deal with him at all even when he was an infant and young child. My son is so good with my Grandson in getting the help he requires to succeed and have a happy life! ❤️ Every child is different, Seth has a strong loving relationship with Sebastian its clear! He is so aware of Sebastian's needs! And worked with his young son to make his life happy! God bless men like Seth and my son! ❣️🙏🇺🇲
What I find interesting also is there is no way in my city if someone called 911 about a missing child, I am positive we would have helicopters up an officers out immediately!! what the heck is this kind of Hokey Pokey force that can't send somebody out for a missing child? This is really bad look Florida really despicable
Continued prayers for Sebastian’s safe reunion with his dad & family. Prayers for Elijah Vue, safe return to his grandmas. Prayers for Caleb Harris’s safe return home. Prayers for Little Madeleine’s family and Riley Strains family during these times. Thanks for keeping us posted. God bless!
The way to find out where Sebastian is is to follow the GPS on the vehicles and all of the vehicles within that time frame and the phones see if they match up because he definitely got rid of Sebastian for the mom the mom is the one that looks guilty to me I don't know why she won't look into any camera anybody's eyes if she was home and got into a fight with him because he wanted to go to his dad's house and that started it
Sebastian's stepdad admitted that 'a few years ago' he'd hit Sebastian with a belt for 'lying to him'. Recently Sebastian told his bio father he 'didn't want to go back home' but refused to say why. Did he try to run away and met with disaster - or did the unthinkable occur?
I am grateful that you are voicing this with such compassion and asking the right questions. You sir are commanding a presence of demanding everyone to take notice and get answers. There was none of this for Xavior Harrelson, missing from Montezuma Iowa, 27 May 2021., found dead in a corn or soybean field, 30 September 2021. Please bring this story to light.
My grandson is Autistic and has always been fascinated with water, in a faucet, a sink, tub, or swimming pool, pond. He is drawn to water any kind any where.
My god, poor Maddie was completely let down by her own mother, and what that monster did to her... and law enforcement couldn't find a deputy for a missing girl. WTH...
Sadly, I believe there is a chance that poor little Maddie was pregnant and that's why she was killed by those monsters. Domestic violence would certainly include a mother and step father, but I wonder if it's "domestic violence" because she was pregnant and was killed by the monster that impregnated her. I truly hope that is not the case. This case is dark enough already and doesn't need to get any worse. I already lose sleep thinking about it.
They must be quite sure Stephen Sterns was the one who unalived her, rather than some 'client' she may have been sold to overnight or any other person.
@@RepentfollowJesusThey probably wouldn't say anything about the adoptsy since she was a minor,but she looked very pregnant in the picture at the birthday party,you could see her little belly button sticking out like some pregnant woman's does,So Sad 😢
Jen was jealous of Maddi & Katie didn’t want to give custody to biological dad Seth! These mothers remind me of Casey Anthony! Just going on living their best lives, while their baby is lifeless! 😭
Right? God forbid, if one of my children were to go missing I would be out of my mind. I would not rest until they were found. I would be hounding the authorities daily to see what they were doing to find my child. Every waking hour would be spent physically looking everywhere for my child. I would be BEGGING the public to please help me find my child. I just don't understand some of these people.
Casey Anthony will never have a successful life. Look where her life has gone so far. She’s stilll grasping at straws. My BIL that was a Warden for a prison said all along they wouldn’t be able to convict her. They didn’t have a cause of death, time of death or manner of death on her baby girl. Based on that I can see why they didn’t convict this Monster!
@therealz360z7I think she knows what happened and/or was the one who hurt him, but he was only diagnosed in the fall of 2023, so no, I don’t think disability checks were the impetus
At 15:44 you guys talk about the "thud" the mom described. I don't remember her ever saying she got a response from Sebastian, she just said she yelled out, "Did you fall out of bed? Whatever you're doing, go to sleep." Correct me if I'm wrong. But that's something that struck me as so odd...you would think if it was a 2 story house, thuds from above may be quite normal...but a thud across the entire house, and she didn't bother to get up and check on him? Does NOT make sense!
It’s so disheartening to see how they had to practically beg for help calling 911, 3 times? A missing child… it also seems there’s no urgency or emotion until the grandmother calls. SMH, so sad
Exactly, she seems frustrated that there was still no eta and that’s why she put the phone down. These comments from Vinnie and the other woman are making out like these two callers knew something other than the fact maddie was missing. That’s very misleading.
Love @CourtTV ❤️ unfortunately promoting @GrayHughesInvestigates is a mistake. He is rude and ridiculous. There are many other more reliable and respectful creators with better content. I couldn't even sit through this video and hope we are not subjected to Gray again.
💯agree. There are much nicer, cordial, respectful, and compassionate guests he could have in instead of this...rude guy. All anyone has to do is see how he replies to his commenters in chat or on the replay. They don't deserve that. They aren't being rude but dang...he's harsh to them. Just don't comment at all but instead he must have some major insecurities to be that rude
I just can't believe that in that neighborhood no cameras caught anything, with a house of that size, there should be a camera somewhere.... unless he didn't make it out the home.
Seth Rogers stated in an interview that the ‘lights’ video was the garbage truck doing pickup. Is this incorrect? Why wouldn’t the cop just say it was the garbage truck?
And now they're selling their home Mom leaves the house to go to a job with her husband but he said he was off and he wasn't sure he had a job in the same breath says they're leaving to go to work for him Mom leaves the house when if he's alive he could come back they know he's not coming back and that's why they're selling the house
The last question and each of the answers at the very end of this video were brilliant!!! Haven’t heard anything that good in a long time!!!! Must go back and view again. Great question Vinnie & great guests!!! Great answers to your question! Bam! Bam! Boom!!!!
This angers me…I’m a father to an autistic toddler. Autistic children have a beautiful light in there eyes, they can get you to the point that you want to pull your hair out and at the last minute do something so cute or special that makes you forget about it. They teach us to see the world different when stop and allow them… the random giggles of pure innocence coming from the back of the car on long drives and the looks for encouragement during uncertainty. I’m proud to be a father of a special little boy, autism is beautiful and special when you open your mind and soul.
It’s strange that both kids going missing Monday before school. I know Maddie was found dead n still don’t know what happen to her, which is weird because they found her should know something. But this young man hasn’t been found.
Good morning Vinnie.. I’m watching your video from PuertoRico.. Too many children going missing.. found dead, or never found. What is this generation doing to their children?? It am everyday situation.. Its truly scary and mind boggling..
My daughter is doing her internship working with/those found incompetent to stand trial. When she started the Drs. on staff told her that they will get surges of differnt kind of patient & at the the moment there is a surge in child murderers, particularly parents being the ones killing them, attempting to kill them.
Kaite hurt Sebastian an chris Cleaned everything up, thats my opinion Praying Sebastian is found safe an well prayers for seth an all involved 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Can you show what the video would show in daylight?
What about the interview of dad crying about Sebastians rape and molestatiom when Sebastian was only 8? That seems important to me.

@@karieschneider746um the parents have already told us.
Woman that take the side of a man over her children should automatically get the worst punishment.
Agreeeeeee!!!!!!!!
yes and same sentence
I appreciate that comment, Friend. Women that choose a man over their vulnerable babies are complete trash!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
EXACTLY! I have personal experience with this and I cannot even begin to express how this enrages me. I made my ex leave the house immediately and turned his ass in to the police. No hesitation whatsoever! I cannot wrap my brain around the idea of a mother choosing a man over her child!
That mom is emotionless. How can your son be missing and you sit there and talk like you're telling a story.
Bc she's focused on getting the STORY correct which blocks out any genuine emotion. If she even has any genuine emotion to begin with. Those two are guilty as sin. The police seem like they have nothing on them but I hope Iam so wrong.
I feel like their interviews are scripted!
Technically she is telling a story
I know right. Looks like guilt to me
Not comparing being a parent to having pets. But I was more nerve wrecked when my dog got out for HALF A DAY than what I've seen from some of these cases. I feel my anxiety for my dog going missing should be the BASELINE for parents with kids missing.
It sounds like Katie “heard a thud” just like Jenn Soto “saw her daughter getting dressed”.
Right?!!!! .. smh.. But why are Katie and Chris not looking for him?
I feel like bc Sebastian is autistic; she’d be more inclined to check on what the noise could be. IF she had any concern for her son. Sounds made up. Like a diversion.
Exactly...
I know.
No scent from dogs, no shoes missing, nothing taken as if he ran away, mom works for brinks but no security, did aliens abduct him? Mom an step dad "ok he could be anywhere we out of here", not searching for him.. yeah.. checks out. *serious side eye*
I’m not expert on autism, but I am a mom, and if I heard a thud, my first reaction would be to run to my kid’s room to make sure they were ok. The math isn’t mathing
Right. A thud makes me think of someone falling on the floor. Is she telling something she didn't mean to?
And she never said he responded to her... like...ok mom
As a mum of special needs children u do go check because they could be doing anything! Even if they were not “special” yes a mum u go and check something smells fishy with his “mum”
I'm not a parent but that'd be my first reaction too like jeez if I hear a thud in the middle of the night im gonna investigate regardless of someone being there or not...
Exactly.
i have a feeling the stepdad was actually home that night. something happened to where the stepdad and/or mom harmed him.. then the stepdad traveled back to wherever for "work" and put his body somewhere in between. his mother not going out searching is very telling.
My thoughts exactly.. who knows what that poor boy was going through in that household
I completely agree with you. Thank you 😢
Agree. I also think the mom is absolutely complicit...
I agree
Yes! My thoughts exactly!
The REAL QUESTION is: WHO was LAST to see Sebastian OTHER THAN the parents???
They are lying.
I’m curious to know if there’s footage of Sebastian taking out the trash like she said he did. Something is just so off.
There’s no footage.
Even Susan Smith faked more emotion than those two.
They said he was out that evening with family for dinner and cousins were there. How old are cousins? Could they have made plans with Sebastian to sneak out and meet up that night?
@@deborahmazza8123 wish it was that, sadly I believe its more sinister.

I also feel that she should be looking for her son. Her husband can go on and work. She needs to look for her son.
Exactly! Any mother who isn't guilty would have stayed home to look for their child! It makes zero sense to me! Those two did something to Sebastian.
She knows where his is which is why she just goes off to Memphis with her control freak husband. She would sacrifice her son to keep her lifestyle.
If you know there dead, why look, right? Waste of time.
I agree. He claims he doesn't know if he still has a job. I feel the mom and real dad need to put their pride aside and work together. Pray he is found safe. 🙏🏻
he is not going to let katie out of his sight
I have a son with Autism . I hear a thud in his room I’m hauling Ass to his room! Usually it’s his door slamming because of the wind but I still head straight to his room n make sure he’s good!! And if my son left the house I’d be out day n night looking for him because he would get lost and turned around! I CALL BULLSHIT!!
She says she called out but he answered that he was ok.
Exactly! 💯 Especially if the child has Autism, it's different.
If you look at a video by Chris ex wife he and his family are nice people her story broke my heart
Mom and step have done something with him.
If Sebastian was outside the dogs would've picked up his scent. He didn't walk out of the house.
Right. I was coming to write that.
That's what Nancy Grace says also..,.
His mother is not even looking for him she is gone somewhere if she heard a thud why did she not go see was he ok very strange
Right, it also means he did not go to put the trash out or the dog would of tracked the scent
Can’t the search dogs detect scents up to seven days old? In that case shouldn’t they have still been able to detect Sebastian’s scent since he was still going to school and stuff the week before he went missing?
Vinnie, great interview with the dad yesterday (I think it was yesterday). That’s how a concerned parent behaves. Interesting points made tonight.
Seth breaks my heart, he is so clearly choking back with every word he says. He kept his composure the whole time too. One extremely important and noteworthy attribute about Seth is that there isn’t one fake or phony thing about him. He and his emotions are true and real unlike many of the “mothers” of a lot of these missing children who are so visibly obviously phony!
Ok, now based on the ME Report, time to arrest the mother Jenn Soto. At least for neglect of a child.
Once arrested she will start to talk, in an attempt to become a witness rather than a suspect.
Where'd you dump that poor kid's body, Mom?
Exactly. Mom and step know where his body is.
Exactly
More like he's probably somewhere between home and stepdads place of work.
Good point
That's why they're not searching. Or staying home just in case he's found. Sebastian is missing to Seth, Seth's mother and the rest of the world, but he's not missing in the eyes of the Proudfoots.
I think the mom knows more. No eye contact during the interview makes me suspicious.
Maybe it's an autism trait?
When the mother and the stepfather was being interviewed, I got a real strange feeling in the behavior wasn’t quite right. She kept looking at him to answer the questions she was getting approval or should I say this or something I don’t know, but I got bad feelings, bad vibes.
She's hesitant in case he has the urge to cut in and talk all over her if she says something he wants to disagree with like Don Wells would do with Candus.
If Katie thought Sebastian left would she not first reach out to Seth to see if Sebastian called him. ??
She described that she didn’t even look or yell outside for him, before calling Chris.
@@rhondasisco-cleveland2665 I heard her say in a different interview she drove around. I wish they would just tell the truth and bring Sebastian home!!
Good question! 💚💚
Check the construction site or on the road between home and the construction site! I am suspicious of the stepdad and the mom knows something.
The voice is too calm. No panic just a mundane phone call about a missing child. Very suspicious!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 y'all r so weird with these comments like people act the same way during interviews. Not everyone is sobbing losing their mind
If she was panicking then the vital information you need to relay to 911 won’t come across properly. I agree if it was the mother calling then yes it’s suspicious but by making this comment about another family member who seems to have had no idea what was going on then your implicating she was in on it.
@@kshejohnson9207 You don't have to be out of your mind running like a lunatic, but you have to be somewhat human,and not a robot or a unconscious serial killer.
It is pretty shameful that no one came out for a missing child call. What if it was a child who was alive?
Seth has kept himself on a very tight rein for weeks, when he is interviewed - he can't continue that forever and we are seeing that now. My heart breaks for him. He needs all our support. As for the Proudfoots, I have major questions!
Problems at home: neglectful alcoholic Katie and physically abusive Chris.
Straight up they’re being deceitful! And your son is missing and you leave town? WTH. It smells way off. We all know where this is headed
I don't know what level of ASD Sebastian has been diagnosed with, but we have a nonverbal 4yr old with ASD and all our doors/windows (exit/entry points) are fully secured. Cctvs and alarms are all in place... AND I always have my eye on my child, she even sleeps in the same room as we do. I might be overprotective or doing "too much" but, I DGAF, better safe than sorry. I hope you are safe, I hope you are well.. Sebastian. ❤
❤
Seth said Sebastian had a chromosome disorder he takes meds for. Likely without it he could have seizures. Man, this is so sad the more things come out..
Keep doing what you're doing. And never take further security for granted
You're definitely not doing too much, only you know your child and how to keep them safe. My nephew has nonverbal ASD and he escaped out of his bedroom window one night because his parents didn't install his air conditioner correctly. Thankfully, their dog barked until they woke up so they found him before he got too far. It's way better to be safe than sorry.
Not too overprotective at all! Good for you momma
Vinnie, you are an outstanding host and a champion stalwart of criminal cases especially these involving children. I'm always looking forward to your coverage including the trials. Your stability is appreciated.
If you notice on the 911 call that was made by Jen's sister she says to the operator "I called not long ago to report a missing child and no one showed up yet" so this leads me to believe that the 3 calls to 911 were all made within short span of time, furthermore when Jen heard that the police are on their way she decided to go back to Madeline school to "double check".. checking for what? Why didn't check before why now when the police needs the info from the ppl whom seen her last, plus school was closed hours ago.. It's like Jenn didn't want to meet the police, one more thing have you noticed Jen took a while to answer and tell her sister what Madeline wearing.
Interesting...
excellent observation
Interesting
The way they keep looking at each other as she slowly picks and chooses the words very carefully and looks to him as if she's being careful not to slip up. And most of all NO TEAR'S, NO EMOTION....And she seems to close her eyes when talking at times.....
I'd be calling directly from the school as soon as I found out my kid was not at school all day!!!
Exactly. Attendance calls are automated and automatic literally everywhere. Jenn is a LIAR. If school started at 9 they texted and called by 9:30 etc. She knew
@@keepyourculture the school has since changed their policy on attendance calls. The calls used to go out in the afternoon.
I said this over a week ago. If Maddie didn't show up for school, why wouldn't they have called her mother? Jenn didn't know until 4:30 when she went to pick her up? Not likely.
@@cindee1794 Our school district calls in the morning but this school/district did call in the afternoons; they just recently changed that because of Maddes case. So, she is telling the truth about the attendance call.
@@CBrown86no not literally everywhere. It should be in the morning I agree with that but it’s not everywhere her school didn’t send it out until late afternoon.
Did you notice him cough and she shut up? That was his signal to stop talking. Imo
💯 bingo
when i got s-assaulted as a child, i basically immediately told my mom. we were extremely close and she could tell something happened, so i told her and she helped me recover.
Madeline’s mother was either in on it or horrifically absent from her daughter’s life/had no relationship with her daughter. how is that she as a mother never EVER in 5(?) yrs recognized what was going on? she simply knew and didn’t care or she just didn’t know her kid. that’s just wild to me.
Katie Proudfoot = Jenn Soto
Very similar disposition, detached and unemotional.
Both put their gross partners needs above their child's too.
Not even close I know wine has depleted your brain cells but one of them allowed their spouse to #$@# a child...
I thought that too early on..maybe because I followed Madelaine's case too. The rocking in the first interview. The staring at the floor in the 2nd..🤔
THE MOM AND STEPDAD ARE CLEARLY LYING. Their story keeps changing and expanding on significant points that should not be changing. That is evidence of foul play
Hughes is the ABSOLUTE WORST to ask or get info on this case! First he hasn’t even been covering this case until LAST NIGHT admitted by him and second he ALWAYS goes against others just for clicks & blocks ANYONE who doesn’t agree !
This was my first thought…”you seriously gave Gray Hughes, of all people, a legit platform?!” 😒🙄
Both these cases have alot of similarities. Breaks my heart for both. Fact that they went missing the same day. Step dads that are POS. Suppose to protect our young not harm them.
Yep but with Maddie it was her mom's boyfriend and she probably knows something. But when Sebastian's case it does seem like it was the mom who killed her child and step dad helped hide the evidence. But both mom's do act a lot like each other. Except I feel like Katie is so angry.
@@type1d760agreed, her anger is palpable.
I love the Judges last comment... " as long the attorney is willing to live at the penitentiary"!!...
Vinnie: BOOM!!
😂😂😂😂....LOL
I bet if they interrogated Sebastian's mom separates nowhere near her husband she would break down because he is keeping her from saying something you can tell he will not let her do an interview by herself
What makes you think they haven't questioned her without her husband, seriously? Of course they have. YT interviews have nothing to do with LE, Thank God. It's vile what is taking place on social media, for shame. Sebastian deserves better than all of this, it's not our business & it's mind blowing that anyone finds it ok for this ok to be publicly blasted to the world. Take a minute and think about this being broadcasted about your child or a child you know and love, imagine how that child would feel. WTF is wrong with ppl.
@@ew8813"of course they have" 🙄 your faith in the police is naìve, to say the least.
@@y2ksurvivor With all due respect, you are rather "naive" if you do not believe that interviewing her alone is one of the very first things LE did, not to mention the TBI, whom has also stated they've met with her without CP. My faith, or lack there of, in LE is irrelevant & has nothing to do w/ standard procedures. Now if I put my faith into finding facts in the assumptions, speculations & narratives of commentators, channel holders & ppl on YT, that would be incredibly naive, it goes without saying.
The police would’ve interviewed them both separately.
Mom is guilty. Never looks up at all.
I truly believe there were problems. I pray they find him.
I have followed you for years. Thank you Mr. Politan. You explain a case like you're writing a book. Totally magnificent. Again ..... Thank you ❤
I have always loved Vinnie. What a good man.
How did no one see him tho ? How did no cameras pick him up. So odd.
Omg I was watching before you had that knowitall Hughes on! What a total waste of space 🙄
Yeah, Gray is really pushing himself on Court TV, he calls them, even though says that they want him on🤣 He is the biggest grifter!
He's so rude and disrespectful for everyone...except Vinnie or people he can grift on. He's so harsh to everyone else.
Why did Katie have custody of Sebastian?
Shared custody.
Great show Vinnie, as usual.
Love the synopsis before each case; it's easier to follow especially when they're new (to me).
I look forward to your show & your YT channel too.
👨🏽⚖️⚖️
No caring mother would leave the house knowing her missing child might come home!! I know a lady whose daughter went missing in 1990, and she still lives at the same house in hopes her daughter will make it home!
I agree 💯 with you. If any of my children went missing I would stay out for sure!!!!
Oh that's heartbreaking...what is the daughter's name and what were the circummstances? I follow as many cases as I can. 🕵️♀️
Was that morgan nicks mother? I saw a programme about her. She keeps a lamp on all night on the porch
"I don't care what you're doing, but go to sleep"? Why wouldn't you care?
If everyone isn't cleared then why was thr mom allowes to keave the state? Make it make sense!
Praying for Sebastian
I agree lack of emotion. They are very strange imo.
The reason why Mom don't want to be home is because she was the one that got into the argument with Sebastian it brings bad memories and she can't stand to be in there because of what happened he just came and got rid of the body so that she wouldn't go to jail and he's keeping her to her story
That does make sense as to why she fled the scene 😢
Ok then go tell that to the police and solve the case as you know everything
Bingo 💯 That's exactly what I think happened. Katie lost her temper with Sebastian. Seth said that Katie said on that Thursday b4 he went missing that Katie wanted it to be a good weekend and she didn't want any problems with Sebastian basically. If she really is an alcoholic then I swear I can picture her being a mean drunk. I think she's way more conniving than any of us realize. She's putting up a front/blocking out all of her emotions of what she did to Sebastian on Sunday night.😢
@@merimasviland8006you're gonna feel silly when the parents end up being charged.
Haha I dont think you understood. Everyone knows they are guilty, but you seem to nnow everything that the police dont. You can go back to school and learn something. @@y2ksurvivor
My son has full custody of his high functioning autistic son. Highly intelligent young boy with some issues in Social functioning. The birth mother couldn't deal with him at all even when he was an infant and young child. My son is so good with my Grandson in getting the help he requires to succeed and have a happy life! ❤️
Every child is different, Seth has a strong loving relationship with Sebastian its clear! He is so aware of Sebastian's needs! And worked with his young son to make his life happy! God bless men like Seth and my son! ❣️🙏🇺🇲
What I find interesting also is there is no way in my city if someone called 911 about a missing child, I am positive we would have helicopters up an officers out immediately!! what the heck is this kind of Hokey Pokey force that can't send somebody out for a missing child? This is really bad look Florida really despicable
Seriously- that made my jaw drop. Every moment counts and they didn't seem to have any urgency whatsoever.
Justice for Madeline and Sebastian and all the other children out there that have disappeared Hope and Prayers from Australia 🦘
I watched the interviews. I realized that their house was too clean, too clean, like it had been cleaned.
Continued prayers for Sebastian’s safe reunion with his dad & family. Prayers for Elijah Vue, safe return to his grandmas. Prayers for Caleb Harris’s safe return home. Prayers for Little Madeleine’s family and Riley Strains family during these times. Thanks for keeping us posted. God bless!
The way to find out where Sebastian is is to follow the GPS on the vehicles and all of the vehicles within that time frame and the phones see if they match up because he definitely got rid of Sebastian for the mom the mom is the one that looks guilty to me I don't know why she won't look into any camera anybody's eyes if she was home and got into a fight with him because he wanted to go to his dad's house and that started it
They should have investigated more a long time ago.
Sebastian WAS ALREADY DEAD AND BURIED by the time these "parents" REPORTED him "MISSING"!! TBI FAILED ONCE AGAIN!!
Sebastian's stepdad admitted that 'a few years ago' he'd hit Sebastian with a belt for 'lying to him'.
Recently Sebastian told his bio father he 'didn't want to go back home' but refused to say why.
Did he try to run away and met with disaster - or did the unthinkable occur?
Did you guys noticed how Chris knotted his head in agreement when she said “ we went to dinner” and he’s like yeah yeah that’s what happened..
Fanny, where was the stepfather was having they checked? He said he was working someplace else was he really there?
He was more than 3 hours away, but that’s 6-7 hours round trip. It’s doable.
That's been my question. They say he was away on a work assignment. Has this been verified 100%?
I am grateful that you are voicing this with such compassion and asking the right questions. You sir are commanding a presence of demanding everyone to take notice and get answers. There was none of this for Xavior Harrelson, missing from Montezuma Iowa, 27 May 2021., found dead in a corn or soybean field, 30 September 2021. Please bring this story to light.
What was the condition of Sebastian’s bedroom window?
Locked
My grandson is Autistic and has always been fascinated with water, in a faucet, a sink, tub, or swimming pool, pond. He is drawn to water any kind any where.
You can not confirm S didn't have shoes. K could be lying, or she bought him new ones at the store just prior to going missing.
Not knowing is the worst torture of a parent!
Why did she leave town to go to work with him
Right! I would be out there looking till I find my baby.
Fleeing the scene of the crime?
She's weak and looks guilty.
@@Monarch_girlExactly
Because he has to keep her under his thumb, so he can control what she says.
My god, poor Maddie was completely let down by her own mother, and what that monster did to her... and law enforcement couldn't find a deputy for a missing girl. WTH...
We all looked at Zillow and saw the home days ago. Gray acts like he invented the wheel.
Why isn’t Jennifer making the call?
Sadly, I believe there is a chance that poor little Maddie was pregnant and that's why she was killed by those monsters. Domestic violence would certainly include a mother and step father, but I wonder if it's "domestic violence" because she was pregnant and was killed by the monster that impregnated her. I truly hope that is not the case. This case is dark enough already and doesn't need to get any worse. I already lose sleep thinking about it.
But they should have known an autopsy would reveal it .
I thought the exact same thing. It makes the most sense
They must be quite sure Stephen Sterns was the one who unalived her, rather than some 'client' she may have been sold to overnight or any other person.
@@NicolletteCoke Maddie looks pregnant in her birthday picture.
@@RepentfollowJesusThey probably wouldn't say anything about the adoptsy since she was a minor,but she looked very pregnant in the picture at the birthday party,you could see her little belly button sticking out like some pregnant woman's does,So Sad 😢
Thank you for another great coverage Vinnie. Prayers for Madeline and Sebastian ♥️♥️
Jen was jealous of Maddi & Katie didn’t want to give custody to biological dad Seth! These mothers remind me of Casey Anthony! Just going on living their best lives, while their baby is lifeless! 😭
Right? God forbid, if one of my children were to go missing I would be out of my mind. I would not rest until they were found. I would be hounding the authorities daily to see what they were doing to find my child. Every waking hour would be spent physically looking everywhere for my child. I would be BEGGING the public to please help me find my child. I just don't understand some of these people.
Oh geez that’s just heartbreaking and makes me sick to my stomach thinking about it. It’s just so unfathomable to me!
Right! 💯
Casey Anthony will never have a successful life. Look where her life has gone so far. She’s stilll grasping at straws. My BIL that was a Warden for a prison said all along they wouldn’t be able to convict her.
They didn’t have a cause of death, time of death or manner of death on her baby girl. Based on that I can see why they didn’t convict this Monster!
@therealz360z7I think she knows what happened and/or was the one who hurt him, but he was only diagnosed in the fall of 2023, so no, I don’t think disability checks were the impetus
At 15:44 you guys talk about the "thud" the mom described. I don't remember her ever saying she got a response from Sebastian, she just said she yelled out, "Did you fall out of bed? Whatever you're doing, go to sleep." Correct me if I'm wrong. But that's something that struck me as so odd...you would think if it was a 2 story house, thuds from above may be quite normal...but a thud across the entire house, and she didn't bother to get up and check on him? Does NOT make sense!
That’s b/c Gray Hughes is a fraud; you should not take anything he says as fact.
It’s so disheartening to see how they had to practically beg for help calling 911, 3 times? A missing child… it also seems there’s no urgency or emotion until the grandmother calls. SMH, so sad
Exactly, she seems frustrated that there was still no eta and that’s why she put the phone down. These comments from
Vinnie and the other woman are making out like these two callers knew something other than the fact maddie was missing. That’s very misleading.
Love @CourtTV ❤️ unfortunately promoting @GrayHughesInvestigates is a mistake. He is rude and ridiculous. There are many other more reliable and respectful creators with better content. I couldn't even sit through this video and hope we are not subjected to Gray again.
💯agree. There are much nicer, cordial, respectful, and compassionate guests he could have in instead of this...rude guy. All anyone has to do is see how he replies to his commenters in chat or on the replay. They don't deserve that. They aren't being rude but dang...he's harsh to them. Just don't comment at all but instead he must have some major insecurities to be that rude
A HUGE Mistake
I couldn’t believe they actually allowed that man on here and presented him as legit.
I just can't believe that in that neighborhood no cameras caught anything, with a house of that size, there should be a camera somewhere.... unless he didn't make it out the home.
That mother is so disgusting and should be put to jail ASAP just for exposing her autistic child to her pedophile husband!
Sebatians step dad is a pedophile? I have not heard that.
What?
Her husband is not a pedo. It was a family friend that they allegedly invited into their home.
It was a 13 yr old child that would come over for play dates and they never checked on thrm
NOT TRUE, you need to delete this now. SMFH
Seth Rogers stated in an interview that the ‘lights’ video was the garbage truck doing pickup. Is this incorrect? Why wouldn’t the cop just say it was the garbage truck?
Gray Hughes is a jerk.

And now they're selling their home Mom leaves the house to go to a job with her husband but he said he was off and he wasn't sure he had a job in the same breath says they're leaving to go to work for him Mom leaves the house when if he's alive he could come back they know he's not coming back and that's why they're selling the house
I understand selling their home is a rumor
The last question and each of the answers at the very end of this video were brilliant!!! Haven’t heard anything that good in a long time!!!! Must go back and view again.
Great question Vinnie & great guests!!! Great answers to your question! Bam! Bam! Boom!!!!
If Sebastain just left the house, barefooted, then the dogs should have picked up his scent.
Love Judge Gayle Byers’ commentary!
This angers me…I’m a father to an autistic toddler. Autistic children have a beautiful light in there eyes, they can get you to the point that you want to pull your hair out and at the last minute do something so cute or special that makes you forget about it. They teach us to see the world different when stop and allow them… the random giggles of pure innocence coming from the back of the car on long drives and the looks for encouragement during uncertainty. I’m proud to be a father of a special little boy, autism is beautiful and special when you open your mind and soul.
Sounds like your toddler is like all toddlers and their parents
It’s strange that both kids going missing Monday before school. I know Maddie was found dead n still don’t know what happen to her, which is weird because they found her should know something. But this young man hasn’t been found.
I feel so sorry for this kid and his dad. 😢
Good morning Vinnie.. I’m watching your video from PuertoRico.. Too many children going missing.. found dead, or never found. What is this generation doing to their children?? It am everyday situation.. Its truly scary and mind boggling..
My daughter is doing her internship working with/those found incompetent to stand trial. When she started the Drs. on staff told her that they will get surges of differnt kind of patient & at the the moment there is a surge in child murderers, particularly parents being the ones killing them, attempting to kill them.
Please stop showing Maddie and that predator in the same frame. Maddie deserves better!
Good idea about checking the swimming pools in the area.
Please, please find my son. I font hear that from proudfoots.
Id like to know if 3 hour phone calls on a sunday night were normal for them or was this unusual. Out of schedule and normalcy
Kaite hurt Sebastian an chris Cleaned everything up, thats my opinion
Praying Sebastian is found safe an well prayers for seth an all involved

My mom always check us out at night even if we’re adults already.
Reminds me of the interview of Maddie Soto's mom.
When you don't search for someone it's usually because you already know where they are...period!!
Bryan's attorneys should be sanctioned for this outrageous behavior. Maybe even pulled off the case
Bryan who?
Kohberger
His attornies didn’t do anything wrong, according to pretty much every legal expert I’ve listened to.
Seth said that they’ve always had surveillance cameras so where did the cameras go?
THIS WAS PLANNED!
Taken down deliberately?🤔🕵️♀️
