Default You are short one roof truss, stop or finish building?

Did a small repair today on a home that is to be sold. A home inspection
discovered that one section of roof truss is missing. 39 inches is the
distance between the second to last and the end roof trusses. The other
trusses are on 2 foot centers. Both the roof plywood and the ceiling
drywall span 39 inches between supports.

The home had been inspected when it was last sold and the home inspector
did not notice the missing truss. Should a home inspector be responsible
for something like that even if the inspection was done 3 years ago?

Thanks for any input.
