Here’s the latest on the search for Sebastian Rogers.
SUMNER COUNTY, Tenn. (NewsNation) — Seth Rogers is desperate to know the whereabouts of his 15-year-old son Sebastian Rogers, who has been missing for a month.
The Tennessee teen was reported missing Feb. 26, from the Sumner County home of his mom Katie Brownfoot and stepdad Chris Brownfoot.
“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.“… “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.”
Volunteers with the United Cajun Navy, who helped search for University of Missouri student Riley Strain, have redirected 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 search organization.
United Cajun Navy volunteers couldn’t elaborate on exactly where they were sending search crews Sunday. However, members told NewsNation affiliate WKRN they had drones and K-9s assisting.
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 will 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.”
