CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — About two dozen people gathered at Liberty Park in Clarksville Saturday for a prayer vigil for Sebastian Rogers, the 15-year-old who was reported missing from Sumner County in February.
“My house is very, very quiet because my son’s not there,” Sebastian’s father, Seth Rogers, said as he held back his tears. “[I’m] going through hell, and when I go home, he’s not there.”
Duane Chapman, better known as Dog the Bounty Hunter, joined the search for Sebastian about two months ago. The search initially started with local and state law enforcement agencies, including the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), but it has since grown to an international effort.
“[Local and state law enforcement agencies] haven’t come out and told anybody anything since April, and [as for] them actually speaking with me, they’d have to actually answer their phone,” Seth told News 2.
Seth encourages people to keep saying Sebastian’s name until his son is found.
When asked what he would say to Sebastian, Seth responded, “I’m going to keep looking for you until I find you, and if you see this, call me. You know my phone number, I won’t change it, and I love you.”
The FBI said agents are continuing to provide assistance in the search for Sebastian. Tipsters are encouraged to contact your local FBI office, contact the nearest American Embassy or Consulate, or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov. You can also call Chapman’s tip line at 833-835-5364.
