Two months have passed since 15-year-old Sebastian Rogers disappeared from his home in Hendersonville, Tennessee without a trace. His father, Seth Rogers, is desperate for answers and has decided to hire a private investigator to assist in the search. Seth has also called on the FBI to get involved, expressing frustration at the lack of information he has received from the Sumner County authorities. He has faced additional challenges, such as scammers demanding money for information about Sebastian’s whereabouts.
Sebastian was last seen in the area of Stafford Court, prompting the issuance of an Amber Alert by the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office on February 26. His mother, Katie Proudfoot, reported hearing noise from Sebastian’s room the night before he disappeared and telling him to keep it down. The next morning, he was gone. Following his disappearance, Katie and Sebastian’s stepfather, Chris Proudfoot, received threats and chose to leave town, leading to speculation about their involvement. However, a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokesperson stated that Sebastian’s parents have been cooperative throughout the investigation.
Despite some initial skepticism about Sebastian’s mother and stepfather, Seth ultimately decided to work with them after a vigil for Sebastian. The three parents and Seth’s private investigator have put aside their differences in order to focus on finding Sebastian. Misinformation and rumors surrounding the case have complicated the search efforts, but they are determined to work together. Sebastian’s parents have assured Seth that they had nothing to do with his disappearance, and are committed to finding him.
Seth Rogers vividly remembers the last phone call he had with Sebastian, wishing he had known it would be their final conversation. Sebastian, who has autism, was interested in video games and Legos, excelled in school, and was about to receive an award for his work with the Future Farmers of America. As the search for Sebastian continues, investigators are urging the public to report any unusual sightings or information that could lead to finding him. Authorities have received a significant number of tips related to the case, indicating the community’s strong interest in locating Sebastian and bringing him home safely.
