Let's find Sebastian!!
***UPDATE ON SEBASTIAN ROGERS.
Each week I get several messages asking if there is anything new on the missing teen with autism.
Sadly, there is not, but I want to keep sharing his information and photo here until we all get some answers.
I continue to check in with Sumner County EMA, the sheriff’s office, my sources with the TBI, District Attorney Ray Whitley and others.
It’s now been nearly six months since 15-year-old Sebastian vanished from his Hendersonville, TN home.
I know there is frustration.
We all have strong feelings about this and want the case solved … and hopefully Sebastian found.
So, what can I tell you?
First, let me clarify about a post I took down a few weeks ago.
I did so because of details in the post I probably could have explained better and then comments took off with assumptions.
I hope this clears up any misconceptions.
I know many of you believe Sebastian is the victim of foul play.
That very well may be the case.
And many believe his mother or step-father or biological father may be involved.
All I can say is that, to date, authorities tell me there is no evidence linking any of the three to Sebastian’s disappearance.
When I say they have been “vetted” it means investigators have checked, double checked and triple checked their stories and they have checked out.
The parents have cooperated and have been interviewed multiple times together and apart looking for inconsistencies.
Trust me when I tell you if there was cause to make an arrest authorities would do so in a heartbeat.
So many of you on social media and on podcasts continue to voice your concerns and I’m right there with you.
I do check in with General Whitley and he would be among the first to know if any charges will be filed.
He cares deeply about this case and meets regularly with investigators for updates.
He tells me there is simply no proof right now to support charging ANYONE with a crime.
And you don’t charge someone lightly and without good evidence.
You do that and they are found not guilty at trial and it’s over.
Then if new evidence surfaces implicating that same person you cannot charge them again.
That is known as double jeopardy.
All this being said, NO ONE has been officially cleared.
Everyone interviewed from the parents and beyond — dozens of people — have had their stories vetted, but new evidence can surface.
SO, WHAT HAPPENED TO SEBASTIAN?
The mystery remains.
The bottomline for me?
Children do NOT vanish without a trace on their own.
Barring some very unusual circumstances, I think someone else was involved.
But who?
And where is the evidence?
Anyone with information on the case can call 1-800-TBI-FIND.
