Sebastian Rogers’ father hires private investigators

HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – NewsNation affiliate WKRN has confirmed the biological father of missing teen Sebastian Rogers has hired two private investigators to look into his son’s disappearance.

Sebastian was last seen on Monday, Feb. 26 near Stafford Court in Hendersonville and has been missing ever since.


Sumner County Sheriff Sonny Weatherford told WKRN he briefly met with the private investigators on Tuesday, April 16. The investigators reportedly want to re-search some of the area around Sebastian’s home.

Authorities covered miles and miles of land while searching for the missing teen in the days and weeks after he went missing. However, repeated search efforts have not turned up any new leads.

The search for Sebastian took investigators as far north as a landfill in Southern Kentucky, where the trash in Sebastian’s Hendersonville neighborhood reportedly goes after being picked up. Nothing was found during that search.

Sebastian’s father, Seth, has organized searches himself, going as far west as West Tennessee.

Seth told WKRN on Tuesday he’s doing everything he can to find his son.

“It doesn’t make a lot of sense. His shoes (were at) the front door. His (Nintendo) Switch was there. His phone was in the kitchen,” Seth said during an appearance on “Elizabeth Vargas Reports in March“… “I still can’t figure it out. I’ve been looking everywhere, handing out flyers.”

Seth told NewsNation that neither Katie nor Chris Brownfoot have spoken with him about the investigation.

“I haven’t spoken to them for two weeks. They’re not talking to me.”
