No Signs of Missing Autistic Boy Sebastian Rogers at Kentucky Landfill, Desperate Search Continues – Crime Online

No evidence was found while searching a Kentucky landfill last week for missing Tennessee teen, Sebastian Rogers, who hasn’t been seen since late February.

The Sumner County Sheriff’s Office found “negative results” while searching the Hopkins County Regional Landfill last week, in search of evidence linked to Rogers’ disappearance.

Sumner County Sheriff Sonny Weatherford told WSMV4 that he remains optimistic about finding Rogers, characterizing the investigation as a search and rescue operation. However, he voiced concerns that it may transition into a recovery operation if they can’t obtain substantial information soon.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, Rogers, who is autistic, vanished from Hendersonville on February 26. Searchers have found no sign of Rogers and search-and-rescue dogs have not picked up his scent.

Sumner County Deputy Chief Eric Craddock said despite police shifting their efforts more toward an investigation, they have found no evidence to suggest Rogers is dead. Police have asked the community to review their surveillance footage for evidence.

Meanwhile, community members joined a vigil Sunday evening at Beech High School in Hendersonville. Rogers was last seen down the street from the school.

During the vigil, a statement from Sebastian’s mother, Kaite Proudfoot, was read aloud.

“We want to let the community know that we don’t have words to express our gratitude for the support for have received in searching for our son. We pray that everyone continues to help search and pray that we find him and bring him home safe.”

Rogers is described as a white male who stands 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighs 120 pounds, and has dirty blond hair. He was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt and black sweatpants.

“We were told that his favorite song was “Eye of The Tiger,”” Craddock previously said, per DailyMail. “We tried playing that to kind of call him and let him know we’re here to help. I’m sure that he could see what’s going on here and be intimidated.”

Anyone with information regarding Rogers’ whereabouts should call the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office at 615-451-3838 or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
