If there was NO scent tracked over to that construction area retention pond, then why was that the ONLY pond that was completely drained?
Good question!

I see what you mean. But emphasis on whose part?so much on emphasis on him being found leads me to think he may not be, or will be very difficult to find
I believe the confusion is due to the fact that there are two different scent dogs that have been used in this case. 1. SAR K-9s (search and rescue) tracking a "live" person. 2. Cadavar K-9s (searching for the obvious). The cadavar dogs did not hit near the construction site (no deceased), but the SAR K-9s did, and they would hit if his scent was still there from months ago.Who's scent was tracked to the construction area then? I'm not sure why we keep receiving conflicting information about the scent dogs. Seth said he was told directly by the dog handler that it tracked to that area. I'm as confused as ever over who and what we can believe at this point. It's all conflicting from every source and frustrating. JMO

BBMWeird how both parents are repeating the "sent tracked to the construction site and then lost" narrative.
From the article:
Widener says bloodhounds and cadaver dogs were used.
"None of them were ever on the trail of Sebastian."
Link: I wanted to know how authorities were still looking for a Hendersonville teen. They showed me.
snipped by meMr Rogers said that whenever the 15-year-old had access to his phone, he would enjoy watching videos of people playing Minecraft.
However, he also added that he did not have access to the internet, or social media, on the device.
This has always bothered me too. I have a really hard time believing that he had no internet access.snipped by me
If no Internet access, where was he watching the minecraft letsplays?? I assume they were hosted on YT or Twitch or something similar. Was a parent downloading them locally then turning off the wifi i.e. wifi is still accessible on the device? I just don't believe that a tech-inclined, smart teen (also had a nintendo switch so clearly able to work a tech decide) would not try to access the internet. he also likely has internet access through his school, and isn't monitored 100% of the time. doesnt really matter in the grand scheme of this case, just interesting b/c they've mentioned this several times.

He was working in Memphis. From the NG show, he's not working at Memphis anymore and is now going to Nashville.I'm wondering about the commute time between the Proudfoot's home in Hendersonville and his job in Nashville.
I recall CP told NG it took 3+ hours to get from his house to his jobsite. But, on Google Maps, it says the distance between Hendersonville and Nashville is just 23 minutes. Maybe I have his job location wrong?
Or, maybe he pulled his camper and took a non-interstate route that took a lot longer?
I get that, however, LE needs to be more definitive when they give updates to media or even to the parents. They need to say, NO Cadaver dogs picked up scent. NO SAR dogs tracked a scent, etc.I believe the confusion is due to the fact that there are two different scent dogs that have been used in this case. 1.

I don't disagree in that they won't tell every move, but in this case, per Seth, the handler told him this info on day 1. Why tell them anything at all if that's the case? Their SAR person interviewed by Nick Beres said no dogs tracked. They could simply say "we can't disclose that information at this time" if they don't want to show their hand. MOORSBM
LE might not want to tip their hand.
It's an advantage for them, if foul play is in play, to out-maneuver a POI, better for LE if the suspect doesn't know what they know!

That must have been where my confusion came from. Thanks for clarifying!He was working in Memphis. From the NG show, he's not working at Memphis anymore and is now going to Nashville.
I also wonder why he isn't allowed any internet access. Has that ever been explained anywhere? He's 15, not 5. He'll be an adult in a few years if, god willing, he's still with us somewhere. I don't know of any teens his age in my own circle who aren't allowed any online access at all, even in the strictest families.This has always bothered me too. I have a really hard time believing that he had no internet access.
Maybe not all team members were briefed...I don't disagree in that they won't tell every move, but in this case, per Seth, the handler told him this info on day 1.

I’m going to assume that because he was on the spectrum, and was reportedly socially awkward, maybe they were protecting him from predators? Perhaps they were concerned that he would not be able to correctly judge someone’s intentions online.I also wonder why he isn't allowed any internet access. Has that ever been explained anywhere?

Probably because autistic people are more gullible and it makes it easier for predators to groom them online. Although I can't cite cases from memory, there's a few disappearances out there where autistic kids were lured outside by "friends" they talked to on the internet. It's far from uncommon, sadly.I also wonder why he isn't allowed any internet access. Has that ever been explained anywhere? He's 15, not 5.

My gkids would do this - sitting on the floor in front of the tv, controllers in hands. I thought they were playing MineCraft. Nope, they were watching pre-recorded videos of other ppl playing! There wasn’t any connection for conversation, the way they do when playing on their devices. I don’t know if they were gaining skills by watching or if it was just relaxing the way other ppl watch game shows… This is what I think Seth was describing Sebastian does at KPs house.snipped by me
