Authorities Across The South Searching For Missing Special Needs Child
Authorities across the south are joining efforts to locate a missing child with special needs. According to KALB, Sebastian Rogers was last seen six months ago, on February 26th, 2024.
The FBI is now offering a $50,000 reward for information that could lead them to find Sebastian, who has autism. The 15-year-old went missing from his mother's home in Hendersonville and was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt, black sweatpants, and black square-framed glasses. Courtney Kinney spoke with KALP and took part in a weekend vigil for Sebastian, and attended a rally at the Summer County Sheriff's Office on Monday.
To hear this is huge, it’s big. With everybody struggling right now and the economy being so bad I feel like if somebody knows something, I feel like 50 grand is a lot to push somebody into saying something
FBI Memphis hopes $50K is enough to get someone with intell talking. They are offering the reward to anyone who can help get Sebastian home safely or provide information that could lead to the arrest or conviction of anyone responsible for his disappearance according to the FBI.
Just knowing that he’s out there, nobody knows, and there’s absolutely nothing that leads us anywhere, I just think it’s very important to keep [his name] out there, you can’t just disappear, a kid doesn’t vanish, there’s something, there’s someone, so we’ll find it
Authorities are on alert across the south and are asking the public to keep an eye out for Sebastian.
Anyone with information about where Sebastian may be is asked to contact the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office at (615) 451-3838, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND or TipsToTBI@tbi.tn.gov, your local FBI office, the nearest American Embassy or Consulate, or you can submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.
