Nancy Grace's show was taped today before RP was arrested. The lead investigator in SP's case, Monroe County, Tennessee, Sheriff’s Detective Jason Fillyaw was the guest.
A few of the points they discussed:
The missing items from SP's room were the fitted sheet on SP's bed, both cell phones and some of her clothing. The parents didn't know what items of clothing were missing, but said some clothing was missing. SP's pajamas were wadded up near the bed. Much discussion about how weird it was that the sheet was missing. One of Nancy's experts pointed out how important it would be to test the remaining sheets for signs of a sexual assault.
The reason for the two phones, according to the parents, was that the cell phone from Georgia was through a cell phone carrier whose service didn't work well in Tennessee so her parents got her a new phone with a different cell phone carrier. Nancy Grace discussed the weirdness of SP taking two phones but no charger.
As so many of you have mentioned, they discussed the fact that the screen was definitely cut from the inside.
Sheriff said a motivation for the move was that the father was starting to have some health issues and wanted to be closer to relatives.
SP was enrolled in school in Tennessee, but she has been homeschooled for the past 3 weeks. No reason was given for why she wasn't going to the school she was enrolled in yet.
The sheriff said SP's phones both pinged within 8 minutes of each other. SP's AT&T phone pinged 1.7 miles from the Tennessee/Kentucky border, close to a Kentucky Welcome Station. Her Verizon phone pinged closer to the city of Corbin. The pings were both within the same county.
