A YouTuber known as “Bullhorn Betty” is suing the family of missing Sumner County teenager Sebastian Rogers.
Andra Lynn Griffin, who uses the “Bullhorn Betty” moniker online, was arrested in 2024 after the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office accused her of violating orders of protection that some of Rogers’ family members had against her. The family said Griffin was driving around their home, harassing, stalking and threatening them.
Griffin filed her lawsuit May 7 in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee against law enforcement and family members who obtained orders of protection against her. She names Rogers’ mother and stepfather, Katie and Christopher Proudfoot, and Christopher Proudfoot’s parents, as well as Sumner County Sheriff Eric Craddock and Det. Lisa Byington. Griffin argues her arrest violated Fourth Amendment protections from unreasonable seizure.
15-year-old Sebastian Wayne Drake Rogers was reported missing on Feb. 26, 2024.
The criminal case against Griffin ended when a Sumner County grand jury found insufficient evidence to prosecute her on charges of violating protection orders.
The sheriff’s office cannot comment on pending litigation, Craddock said in an email. The Tennessean attempted to reach the Proudfoots and Christopher Proudfoot’s parents for comment.
Rogers, who has autism, was reported missing from his parents’ Hendersonville home Feb. 26, 2024. He was 15 years old. He has not been spotted since.
The case drew hundreds of local, state and federal law enforcement officials to Sumner County for the search. Tips poured in but provided little insight.
In the months after Rogers’ disappearance, Griffin began making videos critical of the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office. Griffin has also expressed suspicion about the Proudfoots despite a lack of corroboration from law enforcement, uploading videos with titles like “Proudfoots are liar liar pants on fire.” She has uploaded hundreds of videos, often multiple hours long, about the case.

The family members obtained orders of protection in August 2024 prohibiting Griffin from contacting or threatening them.
Warrants were issued and Griffin was arrested in Clarksville on Aug. 24, 2024. She paid a $20,000 bond for her release from jail. The grand jury declined to indict her May 9, 2025.
Authorities have previously asked that anyone with information concerning Rogers’ whereabouts contact the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office at 615-451-3838, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND or TipsToTBI@tbi.tn.gov, or the local FBI office. They may also submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov or at the nearest American embassy or consulate.
