Sebastian Rogers: What we know about 15-year-old’s disappearance in Tennessee

The morning Sebastian Rogers went missing from his Tennessee home started out as a normal day, his mother recalled.

But when Katie Proudfoot went to wake her 15-year-old son up for school on the morning of 26 February, his bed was empty and he was nowhere to be found.

Sebastian, who has high-functioning autism, is described by his mother as being “very smart” and “not a mischievous child by any means.”

State and local authorities have searched for Sebastian for more than a week using helicopters, drones, search-and-rescue dogs, and teams on foot.

While the search was scaled back this week, a new search effort has since led investigators across state lines to a Kentucky landfill.

An Amber Alert was issued to try to track down the teenager and bring him home safely but so far he is yet to be found.
