Inside were her keys, purse and uncharged phone.

Sherry Ballard: ‘I just want to see my grandson’​

For two years, Sherry Ballard has fought a quiet battle to see her grandson.

“I’ve been quiet because the courts asked me to,” Ballard said. “Now, they have backed me into a corner and I refuse to be quiet anymore.”

It’s been two years since Ballard last saw her grandson and on Saturday her supporters rallied in front of the Nelson County Justice Center. Nearly 200 people lined the street on both sides in front of the center, chanting and holding signs while cars honked their horns in support as they passed by.

I can hardly bear to read this! The sad part is that her grandson's mind might very well be poisoned, as happens even in divorce situations.

The Fourth of July weekend is never easy for the family of Crystal Rogers.

"These things are so hard on me and the kids and we just need justice so we can learn how to move on and learn how to go forward," Sherry Ballard, Crystal Rogers' mother, said.

Last year, the FBI took over the investigation into Rogers' disappearance, and came into Bardstown with a show of force, serving search warrants and conducting interviews.

The FBI says they are now in the final stages of their investigation.

"You know he said that they're closing up and I do think that's happening," Ballard said. "I've even told them that if things don't happen this year, I'm going to be so disappointed."

The FBI continues to ask for tips, saying no tip is too small. The family is also offering a $100,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

I wonder if the tip was that she was buried nearby?

Maybe cell phone tracking? It will be interesting to find out.

Now I’m guessing the tip was that he put new concrete in soon after Crystal went missing.

 

[RoundPeg]

The FBI just confirmed to me they will be back out at this Bardstown property, searching for a second day. On day #1 they laid tarps, brought out shovels and used a cadaver dog to find where to dig. The driveway/concrete appeared to be a point of interest.

Here's what we know about missing Kentucky mom Crystal Rogers and the FBI investigation

The FBI returned to Bardstown, Kentucky, in 2021 to search the Woodlawn Springs subdivision in connection with Crystal Rogers' 2015 disappearance.

Here's what we know about missing Kentucky mom Crystal Rogers and the FBI investigation​

Federal agents reportedly were using a cadaver dog to search the subdivision this week. And a Courier Journal photographer saw investigators Tuesday using a jackhammer on the driveway of a home.

By Wednesday afternoon, the driveway was reportedly dug up, as agents appeared to be zeroed in on the location. Large chunks of the driveway were hauled out of the neighborhood on the back of a construction truck, WHAS reported.

As for how long law enforcement officials will continue this latest round of searches, an FBI Louisville spokesman said the "ultimate timeline will be dependent on what is found" and that agents will "be there as long as it takes."

No arrests have been made in connection with the disappearance of Rogers.



"I don't think they would just randomly pick a driveway unless they had a reason to do that," Rogers' mother, Sherry Ballard, told WHAS this week. "When my daughter went missing, Brooks was building in that neighborhood."

Ballard also told the television station she thinks the chances of finding her daughter have become better.

"I'm ready to bring my daughter home," Ballard reportedly said. "I'm ready for that."

I’m ready for Sherry’s daughter to be found, too. Sherry needs peace in finding Crystal!
