I pray that the heavenly father wraps his arms around Sebastian brings him home

WHERE IS SEBASTIAN ROGERS?
The 15-year-old with autism has now been missing for more than four days and is the subject of an ongoing Amber Alert out of Sumner County, TN.
So many of you have been messaging me for an update.
Authorities held a news conference this afternoon where unfortunately they shared very little of anything new.
HERE IS THE LATEST:
They still believe the teen walked away from his home ... though I'm hearing from sources they are now looking at other options.
What we know for certain is there have been no confirmed sightings of Sebastian ... no video of the teen captured on an ring or security cameras in the neighborhood ... and dogs have not picked up any scent of the boy.
He did not have a cellphone.
Again authorities say they still believe Sebastian walked away from his home.
That certainly remains a possibility.
But, more and more that seems to be unlikely and sources tell me investigators are looking at other possibilities.
Why?
It's just hard to believe the barefoot teen walked away on his own and there is no scent picked up by the dogs ... no security video showing him in the area ... and no confirmed sightings.
The search effort both on foot and from the air has found not a trace of the boy.
One person familiar with the investigation says they must now consider the very real possibility of foul play and that someone else is involved.
I've been in touch with Sebastian's step father and biological father -- who is a deputy with the Davidson County Sheriff's Office.
Both have declined to comment.
In fact, we have not heard directly from any family members.
Authorities say to this point the family has cooperated with the investigation.
Sebastian is about 5' 5" tall, 120 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes and was wearing a black sweatshirt, black sweatpants and glasses.
He is autistic and may not be able to return safely without assistance.
Authorities upgraded the case from an Endangered Child Alert to an Amber Alert Tuesday.
Typically, Amber Alerts are issued when the child is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death.
Amber Alerts are also issued if a child is believed to be the victim of foul play or abducted.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: At this point, authorities have not said there is any evidence of foul play.
But, again, those close to the investigation tell me that is now considered a possibility.
It is still entirely possible Sebastian is out there somewhere hurt, lost or hiding on his own and hopefully will be found.
That remains the working theory.
But the simple fact is this: Children simply do not vanish on their own without a trace.
Anyone with information about Sebastian's whereabouts is encouraged to call Sumner County Sheriff's Office at 615-451-3838 or TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
