Disappearance of Sebastian Rogers

Sebastian Wayne Drake Rogers was 15 when he disappeared from the Stafford Court area near Hendersonville, Tennessee. He was last seen at home on the night of February 25, 2024, and was reported missing the next morning. The FBI notes that Sebastian has autism and medical conditions that may make it difficult for him to return safely without help.

Investigators said Sebastian left behind clothes, shoes, money, food, and his telephone. Search teams examined waterways, searched homes in the neighborhood, reviewed residential and vehicle video, and covered a large area around the home. The Sumner County Sheriff's Office requested FBI assistance during the second day of the search, and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation also participated.

The FBI announced a reward of up to $50,000 in August 2024 for information leading to Sebastian's location and return or to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for his disappearance. In September 2025, the bureau renewed its appeal and said the sheriff's office, TBI, and FBI continued to share tips and information.

On February 25, 2026, two years after Sebastian was last seen, WSMV reported that the Sumner County sheriff continued to describe the investigation as active. No one had been charged and no confirmed sighting had been announced. The available evidence does not establish whether Sebastian wandered away, was taken, or met another outcome, and no private person is identified as a suspect.
