Investigators comb through landfill in search for missing teen Sebastian Rogers

Investigators frantically searching for a missing Tennessee teenager with autism expanded their efforts across state lines to a Kentucky landfill.

Detectives with the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office, which is handling the search, were spotted combing through a landfill where the trash from 15-year-old Sebastian Rogers’ home ended up, according to WSMV.

Rogers has now been missing for more than 10 days.

He disappeared from his family’s home in Hendersonville in Sumner County on the morning of Feb. 26, sparking authorities to issue an Amber Alert.

Kentucky State Police helped with the search of the landfill Thursday — which the sheriff’s office said was only precautionary.

“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,” the sheriff’s office told the local news station.

Multiple agencies have been involved in the effort to bring the teen — who has autism but is high-functioning — home.

Authorities have deployed drones, helicopters, boats and police dogs to try to find him.

They even blasted his favorite song, “Eye of the Tiger,” while searching the area to try to call out to him, the sheriff said.

But there still has been no sign of Rogers.

The boy’s mother, Katie Proudfoot, said she went to wake up her son for school on Feb. 26 but found his bed empty.

 “I wouldn’t wish this on anyone,” Proudfoot told WSMV Monday. “Anyone.”
