In July of 2008, Rozzie was interviewed several times on Fox News' On The Record to discuss the disappearance of Caylee Anthony who went missing from her home in Orlando, Florida. Rozzie was very critical of the Orange County Sheriff's Office in their investigation: "There's really no active search for this girl, which really, really questions the Orange County investigators and what they're doing to find this girl."
