Nancy Grace Informs Father His Missing Son Was Found ... in His Own Basement

Nancy Grace Informs Father His Missing Son Was Found in His Basement (Mediaite)

A Nancy Grace interview Wednesday night got dramatic when the host told a father his son, who had been reported missing eleven days ago, had been found in alive in his basement.

Charlie Bothuell reacted with stunned silence and then nearly hyperventilated upon hearing the news. Grace promptly lit into him. “Sir, did youcheck your basement?” she asked.

“I checked my basement, the FBI checked my basement, the Detroit Police checked my basement,” he replied, a fact later confirmed by the police. “God, they brought dogs, everything, everybody has searched. Oh god, my son.”

“I don’t understand why you would have reported him missing,” Grace said.

“He’s been missing for eleven days,” Bothuell protested.
