The mother of an autistic boy missing in Tennessee says she believes someone must have her son, after four weeks of searching.
Katie Proudfoot told Crime Stories with Nancy Grace that she couldn’t understand how Sebastian Rogers, who is 15, couldn’t have been found yet otherwise.
“I feel like if he had been close to the house, or had walked off, that we would have found him by now with as many people as have been searching,” Ms Proudfoot told the podcast on Monday.
Sebastian, who has high-functioning autism, disappeared on 26 February in Hendersonville, Sumner County. His mother had gone to wake him up for school and found his bedroom empty.
Sebastian is believed to have wandered off in the middle of the night with a flashlight, barefoot and alone.
Since then, authorities have searched for him using drones, helicopters, search-and-rescue dogs and teams on foot, but with no luck.
Now, four weeks on, a volunteer organisation, The United Cajun Navy, has stepped in to help with the search.
The group had helped in the effort to find Riley Strain, a university student who disappeared in Nashville two weeks ago. His body was found on Friday.
