The search for missing Kentucky teen Sebastian Rogers continues with officials focusing on a landfill in Hopkins County, where his family’s trash is disposed of.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Rogers, who is autistic, vanished from his Hendersonville home on February 26. Searchers have found no sign of Rogers and search-and-rescue dogs have not picked up his scent.
Sumner County Deputy Chief Eric Craddock said despite police shifting their efforts more toward an investigation, they have found no evidence to suggest Rogers is dead. Police have asked the community to review their surveillance footage for evidence.
Police said the next step in the search is scouring the Hopkins County Regional Landfill, as part of a precautionary measure.
An Endangered Child Alert has been issued for 15yo Sebastian Wayne Drake Rogers on behalf of the Sumner Co. SO.
He was seen earlier today near Stafford Court in Hendersonville wearing a black sweatshirt, black sweatpants & glasses.

“There is no specific information that indicates evidence related to the search for Sebastian may be there; rather it is an investigative, precautionary measure to eliminate possible options and questions,” SCSO said, according to WSMV.
According to WKRN, an anonymous Nashville business is offering a $3,500 reward for information that leads to Rogers.
Rogers was described as being 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighing 120 pounds, and having dirty blond hair. He was reportedly last seen wearing a black sweatshirt and black sweatpants.
Anyone with information regarding Rogers’ whereabouts should call the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office at 615-451-3838 or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
