Summary
A woman goes to meet family at the visitor center in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and takes a photo of the area.
When she takes a closer look later, she realizes that the boy in the photo bears a striking resemblance to Sebastian Rogers and contacts authorities. The sheriff’s office confirms they have reached out to North Carolina authorities about the picture, but so far nothing credible has resulted from their inquiries.
Investigators say the boy is not Sebastian.
Seth Rogers also agrees to take a polygraph exam if Nancy Grace sets it up for him. An appointment is made with an established polygrapher. Seth Rogers is asked many questions such as, did you do anything that could have caused that boy's disappearance and were you involved in any way in the disappearance of that boy? In both instances, Seth Rogers said "no."
Today, we learn the official results.
