SUMNER COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — The search for University of Missouri student Riley Strain has come to an end, but another Middle Tennessee mystery remains: the whereabouts of missing 15-year-old Sebastian Rogers

Monday, March 25 will mark exactly four weeks since Sebastian was reported missing from Sumner County. Volunteers with the United Cajun Navy, who helped search for Strain, will now redirect some of their crews to help find Sebastian. 

“Sebastian’s father reached out to us and asked for help, and so we’re going to try to help up there as much as we can,” said David Flagg, incident commander with the United Cajun Navy. 

United Cajun Navy volunteers couldn’t elaborate on exactly where they were sending search crews on Sunday, March 24. However, members told NewsNation affiliate WKRN they had drones and canines assisting.  

“I just want to find my son,” Sebastian’s father, Seth Rogers, told WKRN.

On Thursday, March 21, Seth said he was following up on a tip in Henderson and had passed out flyers around Nashville.  

“All I know is that he has disappeared out of his mama’s house, and it’s my job to find him and bring him home,” Seth said.

EquuSearch Midwest is also offering assistance on the ground and via drone searches. Coordinator Twila Sisco shared a message from Sebastian’s mother during a vigil earlier this month: “The pain of our son’s absence is beyond words. We ask that everyone, everywhere remain aware and continue to look for anything that can help us find Sebastian and pray we bring him home.”

As the search for Sebastian enters its fifth week, the United Cajun Navy hopes a fresh set of eyes just might make all the difference. 

“First and foremost, we’d like to see Sebastian found safe and sound. I think that’s everybody’s hope and that’s always our hope,” Flagg said. “We’re just people helping people. We have a lot of different skill sets in a lot of different areas, and…I think our biggest thing is our dedication.”
