Tennessee authorities searching for Sebastian Rogers, a missing teen with autism, are warning of 'inaccurate' information being spread online and causing 'distraction.'
Tennessee authorities on Tuesday cautioned the public against sharing 'inaccurate' information being shared online related to the search for missing teen Sebastian Rogers, which they say has caused a 'distraction' in their investigation. The Sumner County Sheriff's Office issued an Amber Alert for Sebastian, a 15-year-old boy with autism, after he was last seen in the area of Stafford Court in Hendersonville on Feb. 26.
Following the teenager's disappearance, Katie drove about three hours away from home to meet up with her husband and Sebastian's stepfather, prompting some to wonder why she would travel so far from the area where her son was last seen. 'We are posting fliers every direction we can. But at the same time, there were quite a bit of people that were sending some very threatening and hateful messages to us. They're following us.
Seth Rogers, Sebastian's father, told FOX 17 Nashville in a raw interview posted on March 28 that he has hope his son is still alive, and he is searching for the 15-year-old 'everywhere.' He added that he recently learned Child Protective Services had visited Katie's house before, and he had not been informed of the visit. 'I don't understand why the state dropped the ball on that one,' he told the outlet, adding that he learned about the CPS visit from a podcast.
Investigators are asking the public to keep an eye out for anything unusual and contact the Sumner County Emergency Communications Center at 615-451-3838 or the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND with any information that could be helpful in the search for Sebastian. Authorities have received a total of 314 tips related to the search for Sebastian as of Tuesday.
