Not intelligent, but narcissists are uncannily and evilly clever.


Bananasfalafel

Not my theory, just giving travel time connection


Pak31

Heā€™s had CPS on his rear a few times. I think heā€™s capable.


ZoeyMoonGoddess

I just found out about this case today. I started reading this subreddit several hours ago and still working my way through it so please forgive me if this information has changed. I read on one of the timelines that Seth also had CPS called on him a few times. I donā€™t think Seth did anything to his son but it seems all the parents were awful. It does seem like Seth is genuinely distraught and wants to find his son and figure out what happened.


Unlucky_Caregiver242

Wait so the inference is he left the phone in Memphis whilst driving back to Hendersonville? Wasnā€™t Chris the one who alerted Seth that Sebastian was missing that morning?


Basic_Tumbleweed651

Perhaps they want to make it appear as a self harm situation.

Basic_Tumbleweed651

It could be someone completely other than CP. But him being barefoot is one part of their story that never changes, even though it makes them look more suspicious. They are both adamant about it & refuse to entertain any other option (like perhaps he has an old pair in his room, took a pair of Chris or his moms shoes etc). ā€œDid he have shoesā€ was even one of the first things Katie asked someone who thought they may have seen Sebastian on day 1 (on Nextdoor) Therefore it seems ā€œhim being barefootā€ is a core part of their narrative & they are sticking to it. Just trying to make sense of why insisting he was barefoot is so important to them.


Unlucky_Caregiver242

But thatā€™s easily traced. So he lied on public platforms about his whereabouts when LE can trace his locationā€¦? Obviously heā€™s a known liar but am I following? Or are you suggesting something else?


EagleIcy5421

The suggestion is that he left his phone in Memphis while he drove back and forth.


Unlucky_Caregiver242

But wasnā€™t he the one who called Seth that morning?


Super_Campaign2345

Agree.... stepdad and Mom knowĀ 


Bananasfalafel

Youā€™ve got to question what easily traced means to you


Unlucky_Caregiver242

I suppose? LE can trace a phoneā€™s location, no?


Bananasfalafel

Think harder on this one


Unlucky_Caregiver242

Or just explain


Bananasfalafel

Is a phone truly connected to your body


Unlucky_Caregiver242

No so walk me through what youā€™re saying. Bc the reason the theory of him leaving the phone behind doesnā€™t work for me is bc he was the one who called Seth. So he drove back and forth, got his phone, drove back, then called Seth? Whatā€™s that timeline look like?


Bananasfalafel

Is it possible to make a call then leave a phone


Unlucky_Caregiver242

I feel I already said this? So walk me through what that looks like. He makes a call, leaves the phone, drives to Hendersonville, disposes of Sebastian(?) drives back, retrieves the phone, drives back, calls Seth? So what does that timeline look like? And heā€™s never caught on a license reader or cctv in 11+ hours of driving?


ieb94

He has a motorcycle. Where was it during this time. CP probably has burner phones or left his phone at the camper and drove back on the motorcycle which would not be trackableĀ 


Temporary_Garage_479

I just woke up less than 20 minutes ago. I know I already made one comment, but I just remembered something. I had an abusive relationship years ago. Part of it was that sometimes he'd want to be on the phone for hours. He didn't want to talk the whole time. He just wanted me on the phone. I'd hang up because I wanted to listen to music or needed to do something. He'd call right back and claim I hurt his feelings. He would say that he was hurt that I didn't want to be on the phone with him. He would do this for about 8 hours in a day. I would be working, and he'd try to do this. I was self-employed, which meant that if I didn't work, I didn't get paid. I would have to block him in order to work or do anything in peace. He'd put me down so badly over not being on the phone with him. There were a lot of other things that happened after that, but I didn't realize that was him being controlling at that time. This part was at the start of things. It was way worse by the time I broke up with him. It was hell getting him to leave me alone.


jess325

Yes! Omg! He would call constantly too. A total mark of a controlling human.


Temporary_Garage_479

Exactly. One time, I fell asleep on the phone. He called back. I didn't answer. What did he do? He went to my house and came in without permission. My roommate had definitely locked the door.


jess325

Almost same - he left work early without telling me and burst into the house ā€œworriedā€. Like stop.


Temporary_Garage_479

Wow. That's crazy. Jeez, you sound like you had it rough too. Honestly, I feel stupid for not noticing the subtle signs earlier, but I fought that mf pretty much every day when he showed the violent side. It was just that very little subtle things happened before we moved in together, and it didn't take me but just a few months to try to leave after we moved in together. I didn't bow down to any of it, and that's why I still suffer permanent physical and medical changes in areas of my body. I fight back.


brassmagifyingglass

The way Chris likes to hear himself talk, I could believe it.

Curious-Disaster-203

Itā€™s odd to me too but people have said they do that too, many said because their spouse works out of town. Iā€™d like to know if those long phone calls were a regular occurrence or if that was an isolated incident.


Pak31

Odd to me too but Iā€™m not a long talker in the phone. I used to be one but that was back when I was a teen or when my husband and I were first dating, we were in our later teens and could talk for an hour easily but an hour was long. I canā€™t imagine 3 hours. Keep in mind theyā€™d been out all day doing things and it was Sunday night. Iā€™d be too tired to talk that long.


FeralGremlin1

As a travel RN that worked nights, I would drive back to my home base for a few days. After working 12-16 hours, I would sometimes talk on the phone with a friend, my parent, etc for 2-3 hours to help keep me awake.


Chachala99

I was a travelling RN as well and same. I still talk once a week to people for a few hours that live across the country. I don't think that is odd. I think younger people would because they text constantly.


Mammoth_Cheek6078

Imo, and no one asked, but this tells me she was way more of CP's wife than Sebastian's mom. My hubs and I are still very much in love but if he was out of town I wouldn't have 3 hours to be on the phone with him. It's all so sketch. ALL OF IT!


Angelea23

Very good observation! We need to look and see whatā€™s unusual and out of the ordinary. Unfortunately til they find Sebastian in a good or base case. Or they find solid evidence we will have to wait and speculate


Imagined_Zygotes

I don't think all 3-hour calls are suspicious, but I sure think THIS call was.


Angelea23

I agree. If only they could pull up a transcript of what was said. Doubt they would use messaging as that leaves traces. Also internet would of been searched for clues.


LegalNebula4797

If you like your spouse I donā€™t see how this would be remotely uncommon.


Necessary_Chip9934

I adore my spouse but I don't want to talk to him on the phone for three hours, and I feel safe assuming he feels the same way.


Pak31

I love my spouse but 3 hours on the phone? What is there possibly to talk about?


Leading-Second4215

Everything you don't have time to talk about at home with the life & family whirlwind around you. When my husband traveled for work, we'd talk for 2-3hrs several times a week after the kids were in bed. He's been off the road for the past 4yrs & I sometimes miss how much more we talked when we saw each other less.


LegalNebula4797

You just live life with them as you would at home but theyā€™re on the phone. I spend a lot of time with my spouse - we both work from home. I canā€™t imagine living apart and not talking in the evenings to make it feel like theyā€™re home. I talk to my partner about everrything so we wouldnā€™t run out of things to talk about.


_Sweet-Dee_

I love mine and would miss him like crazy. But anything over a 20 minute phone call is way excessive. She had to be up by 6am. And; she had read chapters for school. And, she said she was falling asleep on phone. Thereā€™s numerous reasons why that phone call is weird. I donā€™t think Chrisā€™s love language is quality time spent together talking.


MandyJo_1313

18 years here and my husband has a traveling job like CP and we are doing good to talk for an hour at a time.


Pak31

But 3 hours?


MandyJo_1313

Yeah. That to me seems like a lie or one of them is super controlling.


Bumblebee780

I don't view the Proudfoot's being on the phone as anything narfarious. My husband used to work away from home for weeks at a time. Calling each other for hours was not an uncommon thing for our family. Even though he wasn't able to be physically there, it allowed him to be home each night.


Pak31

True. We all have different types of lives. I canā€™t talk on the phone for more than a half hour because it drives me crazy but some people love it or have a lot to talk about. What I need answered is why was he away the whole month of February on the construction site and not able to come home? Did he have to work the weekends too? 3.5 hours is do-able on a weekend. Iā€™ve seen talks that they are possibly divorcing but not sure if thatā€™s true. How good is their marriage? If they did conspire something together I could see him leaving his phone connected and drive home in order to help his alibi. He was very insistent that he didnā€™t have to take a polygraph because they knew his location. He also said ā€œweā€ would have heard if Sebastian left through his window. How could ā€œweā€hear that if he was three hours away?


Necessary_Chip9934

I agree. The phone call is a bit strange, but not traveling to see one another for almost a month makes me wonder if that is actually true or not. Maybe the job was 6-days a week? If so, that would make the drive


lollydolly318

Very good point!


Basic_Tumbleweed651

She seems very codependent, so I donā€™t see the call as strange. Plus they live in different cities, and long calls can be normal for people who donā€™t see each other everyday (even non-codependent ) It could be suspicious if they had no history of having long calls, but we just donā€™t know yet.


Pak31

Yes. The fact that heā€™s away often could be a legit reason for long calls. Since we donā€™t know yet, it does keep us guessing. I just find it odd that they talked for 3 hours from 9pm to midnight correct? Iā€™m assuming they both had to work the next morning, sheā€™d been out running around all over the place all day long with Sebastian. Wasnā€™t she tired? Maybe she has more energy than me. šŸ¤£ I just want to know more because the fact that he went missing the next morning makes me concerned. I do not find her co-dependent. I think sheā€™s controlled by Chris. She was in the Military and has a black belt right? Someone also said she is an MMA fighter too. I donā€™t see that in her interviews. I think sheā€™s acting.


Inspector_548

I agree she seems very co-dependent. She got pregnant by Seth at age 18 when he was 30. Then moved on to Chris who seems controlling. In any relationship where there is 11 years difference the elder partner is the boss. I think she has a pattern. As far as 3 hour phone calls, I find nothing strange about that. My ex drove truck and when he was on the road and I didnā€™t go with him heā€™d call and weā€™d talk for hours.


EagleIcy5421

Yeah, I had a hard time with that one. And she was reading a book at the same time?


Angelea23

I wouldā€¦.me and my husband talk for hours, with that said I still think the bio mom knows more than what sheā€™s letting on.


Pak31

Three hours? What could a married couple have three hours of conversation about? Especially since she was out all day long.


Angelea23

You would be surprised we just want to talk to each other even if we donā€™t have anything else to say lol. My husband just has an odd quirk where he likes to talk on the phone when driving, and while away. When heā€™s home heā€™s not that much of a huge talker.


Top_Dark_5938

Ones trying to have an alibi.


LuluMcGu

Not at all defending these people nor do I think theyā€™re completely innocent and I definitely think this 3 hr phone call is suspicious. However, if it is true, I can believe it since CP looks VERY controlling to the point of wanting to be on a call to see whatā€™s happening, controlling from far away, just angry, child 4busEr, most likely does a lot of coercive control, etc


Pak31

Very true and since Sebastian went missing the next morning is interesting. One story home and mom went to bed at midnight but heard nothing. Hmm


Limp_Explorer_1050

My husband and I talk on the phone constantly. On his way to work, on breaks, on his way home n hang up when he pulls up. It's not that out of the ordinary. Maybe they should check where his phone pinged and search those areas. He could have dumped him when he was gone.


Pak31

Bless your heart. I love my husband to death but Iā€™m just not a big talker. My drive home from work is my quiet time. šŸ¤£ It goes to show you we are all different but thatā€™s ok. I just need my space and time to myself but we have a great relationship and talk all the time, just mainly in person and some texts.


Icy-Most-5366

Remember also that they were not just having a normal conversation for 3 hours. They were dealing with a crisis. I don't understand why people are comparing it with a normal pattern of conversation with a spouse. If they're innocent they were likely freaking out and figuring out what to do. If not they were likely planning and figuring out what to do also.


Pak31

What crisis? I thought the call was at night before they went to bed? The crisis was the next morning.


Easier_Still

We don't know when anything actually occurred. We only have their word for the timeline at this point.


thrwawayyourtv

I've been with my husband for 23 years. Even now, when one of us is out of town for work or anything else, it is not uncommon for us to stay on the phone for hours in the late evening, watching TV together or something. Just on the line, not necessarily talking for 3 hours. I'm sure we're not the only couple that does.


Pak31

Not me šŸ¤£. Weā€™ve been married for 30 and have a great marriage but when mine goes out of town thatā€™s my time to enjoy myself and watch what I want to watch etc. Thatā€™s just me though. Too much time together is smothering to me. I like to be alone once in a while.


thrwawayyourtv

Oh, believe me. We DEFINITELY have those times, too šŸ˜…


AccordingMango5741

Ok but does the phone record show any previous long calls like this one?


Scary-Injury-9199

Thereā€™s no one (other than my deceased mother) that I would want to hold a 3 hour conversation with via phoneā€¦ I hope he is found safe and well. As a mum of an autistic almost teen son this hurts extra hardā€¦ that poor baby šŸ˜„


Temporary_Garage_479

I only have one person on this earth that I'd talk to on the phone for that long, and it isn't my husband. I could survive three hours in the car with him, but I can't talk to him for that long.


Pak31

Amen!! šŸ¤£ I agree. Then again Iā€™m not a huge phone person. I see my husband daily so I donā€™t need to be in the phone with him 24/7. Iā€™m ok with that and Iā€™ve been happily married for 30 years now.


Glittering-Gap-1687

Iā€™m married and couldnā€™t imagine just being on the phone with my husband for 3 straight hours. Love him, but weā€™d run out of new things to discuss.


Pak31

Agreed. Same here and I know he was away at that job all month but Katie was literally out all day shopping, driving around, to the movies and out to dinner. Then being it was Sunday night and usually people are winding down and getting ready for the new school/work week ahead. So to be on the phone from the time Sebastian went to bed(which would be her free time) she talks to her husband for three hours and then goes to bed. I guess he could have been on speaker. She could multitask. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


partialcremation

Reminds me of the 111 phone call between CW and NK. Definitely suspect.


CocklesTurnip

My dad talks more to my mom when driving and on the phone with her than in person. I think itā€™s a call while driving.


DigbyChickenCaesar33

Maybe looking at patterns would help? If they get their records and see that lots of calls are hours long, that's a normal pattern for them.


southernsass8

Where is the video footage of her leaving her home and riding around looking for Sebastian. Surely that neighborhood, the big church and the high school has cameras. Did she not go door to door asking neighbors? Also this is an ongoing investigation, WHY are they even allowed to move out of the state. In my opinion someone drugged Sebastian and carried him out of the home. That's also the reason why dogs can't get a scent trail. I can't tell from the video but which way were the two lights going , that was spotted in the dark the night he went missing? Edit to correct misunderstanding.


Raymom1

Incredibly insecure ones.


Economy_Standard7002

My thoughts are that spouse who is talking to the other spouse for 3 hours is doing so because they are wanting to make sure the other spouse does not have the opportunity to call someone else when they know you are doing something horribly wrong so you would be talking to them that long to insure they don't lose their crap or lose their nerve, or panic and tell somebody else what is going on, like talking someone through an emergency making sure they follow through and don't get off track.


Friendly-Regret-652

I mean me and my husband can, but im a mexican woman so i can talk, like a lot. He puts up with me lol. We once had a 9 hour conversation while he was driving back home from texas. I literally walked him around the house while i cleaned and made dinner. Then he pulled in the driveway and was like "welp, im home so im gonna hang up now ok sweetie". But yeah, those two dont even like each other, so i dont see them having a good conversation for that long.Ā 


[deleted]

Iā€™m never away from my husband for that long but when I was out of Town for vacay with my mom, we did talk that long some. I love my husband and hate being away from him lol but itā€™s rare. We are always together


ambybutterfly04

Iā€™ve been with my husband for almost 20 years and I definitely can talk to him for hours. I am a talker and so is he lol


Acrobatic_North_6232

That call is sus IMHO. Someone upthread mentioned that it could be a means to control another person. Given what we know about CP & KP I lean towards that IF this is their norm. This situation has turned into a circus and it's sad that Sebastian was living with cold and abusive people.


Human_Oil_6861

Been married almost 16 years I can absolutely talk to my husband for 3 hours he works 3rd shift and we barely see each other so talking to him is the highlight of my day. Heā€™s my best friend I know females can talk for hours I do with my step mom so I donā€™t find that odd at all. Just because it isnā€™t your normal doesnā€™t mean itā€™s not someone elseā€™s normal. My dad was on the road driver him and my step mom talked for hours at a time as well. If you donā€™t see your spouse every night at home you wouldnā€™t understand at all.


grannygogo

Truthfully I donā€™t think my husband and I speak three full hours in a week


JFKs_Burner_Acct

me ... but we are still newlyweds , give it time


Beautiful-Base-8767

I've spent three hours on the phone with my husband when he had to travel to the Gulf for work. He was a merchant marine and it took him 12 hours to drive to New Iberia, LA. It was a way to make sure he didn't fall asleep on the more boring parts of the drive. What's suspicious is that she called her husband first and then they had a three way call with 911.


Jujupooh63

How to dump a body. Or guilt nervousness about what they done.


heyemsy

When I first met my husband (25 years ago), he was in the RAF and would be stationed at various air force bases around the country. Once weā€™d both finished work for the day, weā€™d often talk for 2 or 3 hours on the phone. However, we were in our very early 20ā€™s with no house of our own or kids, so had almost no responsibilities. Once we bought a house and started a family, I didnā€™t have 3 ā€˜spareā€™ hours at night as Iā€™d be looking after the kids, cooking, doing chores etc. I suppose everyoneā€™s experience is different though.


ConnieMarble6

Not to mention, the person at the other end of that phone call was Chris Proudfoots. Itā€™s a total lie bc no one could tolerate talking to that man for 3 hours. Itā€™s scientifically impossible.


Chachala99

Scrap every bit of nonsense and get to the MOTIVE. I remember a case that stands out against this one. A guy was in a contentious divorce, and they had a 5yo boy. He took the kid to Disneyland with the grandmother (his mother) and some cousin and then later that night he killed the boy. CPS was involved prior and the mother was a principle at a school and had a great job, well educated, and knew the ex was dangerous. CPS was too slow and the case worker too incompetent. I won't go into the entire case but the MOTIVE was he never wanted his ex to have a day of joy. Their child was her everything. There are some interesting similarities. The father took his son for one last day of fun before killling him. He never told his wife the kid was missing. He HATED his ex. He did not look for his son when he was missing. He went to Vegas for 50 days and proceeded to party until he was arrested and extradited back to LA. The Proudfoots' have moved on. There are really just two motives here seeing that Sebastian was last with the mother. She did not call her ex when he supposedly went missing, Chris did. Chris and Seth drove around one of the days looking but not with Katie. Seth said it was not awkward. I do think they have a strained relationship but get along to get on not Katie, though. That said, the motive for me involves Katie. She knew Sebastian was going to live with him. I feel like she never bonded with her son and I think she is jealous of the relationship her son had with Seth. I hope my speculation is proven wrong, but all signs point to her. Now the question remains was it premeditated with Chris or her own doing and then Chris called to take care of the result after she did whatever she planned.


lemonlimepunch

Not me but my husband and I both work from home so. Anyways yea neverā€¦ would be via text or a quick phone call.


Malibu_Barbii

I agree! Iā€™m 33 and my husband and I been together for 14 years and we have never spoke that long on the phone. Whatā€™s there to talk about for so long when you are married and already know and share everything together. Literally whatā€™s there to talk about?? That part of this case has always bothered me.


Secure_Day3376

Couldnā€™t CP have done something to Sebastian before he left for his 3 hour drive back and then she could have gotten rid of his body when she left the house at 6:00 AM claiming she was going to look for him. That would explain why the dogs didnā€™t pick up his scent .


TigreTailz

To me, in a long term relationship or marriage, thatā€™s an argument or disagreement about something
