SUMNER COUNTY, Tenn. — More than a month has passed and the search for missing teen Sebastian Rogers continues.

The Sumner County Sheriff’s Office and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said it’s continuing to investigate every lead that comes in. SCSO said it’s not ruling anything out as the search enters week six for the missing teen with autism.

“There is no evidence to support foul play,” SCSO said.

According to a report from WSMV4 Nashville, the TBI said there was a large land search, waterway, lake, pond, and aerial searches at night, on weekends and during the day 24/7.

“It’s gone back to good old-fashioned police work,” TBI said. “Interviewing people, going over leads. We’re checking in with other law enforcement agencies to get advice from them on cases like this.”

TBI added that the parents have been cooperative and have done whatever law enforcement has asked of them.

“At this point, there’s no evidence that there’s a crime involved, but we’re keeping options open,” TBI said.

Sumner County Chief Deputy Eric Craddock said glasses were found while searching in the past few days.

“There were some glasses found in the past few days, and we are still investigating whether they were Sebastian’s,” Craddock said.
