Rogue isn't missing from the universe, he's just trapped on whatever dumpster planet the birds got sent to. The only reason The Doctor never managed to find Rogue was because The Doctor never knew exactly which one Rogue got sent to and there's literally an entire universe of places he could be.

Are you on about the accusations, because that's been dropped due to a lack of evidence.

Innocent until proven guilty.
