Two weeks have passed since the puzzling disappearance of 15-year-old Sebastian Rogers from Hendersonville. For the first time since the mysterious incident, Sebastian’s father has agreed to give an exclusive on-camera interview, pouring out his greatest hopes and fears for his missing son.
“I’m hoping he is still alive. That’s my main hope right now — that he’s not deceased. I pray he is alive and someone will see him and call 911,” said the distraught father.
Last night, the community of Hendersonville showed immense solidarity by gathering for a prayer vigil in honor of the missing boy. Dozens of well-wishers turned up, all wearing green—the favorite color of the young Sebastian—to symbolize their hope for his safe return.
The fact that this is extremely uncharacteristic of the autistic teenager to willingly wander off, especially without his shoes, further deepens the mystery for his distraught father.
“He decided he wanted to step into a mound of what he thought was dirt,” the father recalled. “It was fire ants, and since then he doesn’t like to get his feet in the dirt. He likes to have his shoes and socks on.”
The unending searches conducted on the ground and in the air, assistance from top experts, watchful examination of security footage, and tireless efforts of the local community have, so far, unfortunately yielded no positive results.
Meanwhile, as detectives and volunteers try to piece together the inconsistencies and dead ends of their unsuccessful searches, the town of Hendersonville continues to hold its breath, praying for the lost boy’s safe return.
“With the information that I’ve gotten from Sumner County and TBI and the fact that dogs aren’t 100% they’re not picking up his scent,” the bewildered father admitted. “One dog tracked him to a construction area over there and it just disappeared, and it’s confusing. There are missing pieces to the puzzle, and I’m having difficulty solving this.”
As the heart-wrenching appeal of Sebastian’s father echoes through the region, the community continues to rally and redouble their efforts in hopes of a breakthrough. Anyone with any information is strongly urged to contact their local law enforcement immediately.
“I was very proud of him. He successfully completed something.” the father lamented, hoping it won’t be long before he sees his son, Sebastian again.
