So far, the search for Sebastian Rogers has been ongoing since February 26th. The young man left his house in the early hours of the morning without shoes and only armed with a flashlight. From that moment on, he hasn't been seen.
However, since his disappearance, there has been a lot of interest. Dog the Bounty Hunter is on the case and has helped spread the visibility of the missing persons case. As a result, many people now know his face.
A woman in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina claimed she saw someone strongly resembling the missing Tennessee boy. She took a photo of him and shared it online. The boy's father also suspects that it may be him. The boy's father said that "he believes it is his son and he is across state lines."
New Footage Points Towards Possible Fate Of Missing Boy
Footage has emerged from the night of Sebastian's disappearance. A detailed examination has revealed that another person can be seen lurking near their property. The video, which was obtained by private investigator Steve Fischer, shows another person by the house.
"It's definitely a person," said the private investigator about the footage. "It looks like a thin person wearing dark clothing walks down south on Kellyn Lane behind a vehicle. And it appears like he or she is trying to stay out of the eyesight of the person walking their dog."
Furthermore, the person acts in a suspicious manner, leading them to believe they have something to do with the disappearance of the Tennessee teen. "They go behind this car for a little while then they turn around and come back the same way they came from," he notes of the video.
Police have already viewed the footage, however, and deem it of no importance to the missing boy. "'Law enforcement has had possession of the original video since 72 hours after Sebastian was reported missing," they said of the video. "After thoroughly investigating this lead, we determined that it has no relevance to the case."
Despite their dismissal of the footage, their private investigator believes it to be of some note.
