The FBI has renewed it’s call for tips in Sebastian Rogers’ disappearance.
15-year-old Rogers was last seen in Hendersonville, Tennessee on February 25, 2024. He was reported missing by his family when he disappeared in the middle of the night from his family home.
According to his mother, Sebastian took the garbage down to the end of their driveway as usual that day before going to bed around 9:00 pm. His stepfather was away working that night.
The next morning, his mother went to wake him up for school at 6:00 am, but Sebastian was nowhere to be found. His family filed a missing person’s report with the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office when they could not find him.
Earlier this week the FBI shared an article detailing the events leading up to his disappearance, as well as information about the search in the weeks and months that followed.
“Sebastian did not take any clothes, shoes, money, food, or his cell phone,” said Carter. “His cell phone and cash were both lying on the dining room table where they had been the day before, when he went to bed. According to Katie, there was a small yellow flashlight that she thinks was missing, but that was the only thing that appeared to be gone from the house.”
The first week in the search for Sebastian was a massive community and interagency effort between the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Emergency Management Agency, Hendersonville Police, Gallatin Police, Tennessee Highway Patrol, the FBI, Metro Police, Wilson County Sheriff’s Office, Sumner County EMS, Sumner County Emergency Response Team, and several other agencies throughout Tennessee.
“The search consisted of about a four-and-a-half-mile radius around Sebastian’s home,” said Carter. “There were roughly 2,000 searchers equipped with an app tracking their movements. The searchers could also use the app to plot things on a map that they observed while they were out searching. The total area they covered within that four-and-a-half-mile radius was equivalent to a combined 44,000 acres.”
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the whereabouts of Sebastian Wayne Drake Rogers.
