๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐, ๐ฃ๐ / ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ข๐ก๐ฉ๐๐๐๐, ๐ง๐ก - AtNight Creative Intelligence (ACI), with One World, is announcing an expanded reward structure in connection with the continuing effort to locate Sebastian Wayne Drake Rogers, the Tennessee teenager who remains publicly listed as a missing child. This announcement is intended to increase the probability that credible, verifiable, and lawfully obtained information reaches the appropriate authorities rapidly and in a form that can be evaluated, preserved, and used.
Sebastian Wayne Drake Rogers is currently listed by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children as missing since February 25, 2024, from Hendersonville, Tennessee. NCMEC lists Sebastian as 17 years old, male, and associates the case with NCMEC number 2014106 and the Sumner County Sheriff's Office. The FBI's public missing-person record states that Sebastian was last seen in the area of Stafford Court in Hendersonville, Sumner County, Tennessee, and that he was wearing a black sweatshirt, black sweatpants, and black square-framed glasses. The FBI also reports that Sebastian has medical conditions, including autism, that may impair his ability to return safely without assistance.
๐๐๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ฌ ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ค๐ง๐๐๐จ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ ๐๐ค๐ก๐ก๐ค๐ฌ๐จ:
1. Up to $300,000 for verified proof of life. This category is intended for credible, current, time-sensitive information demonstrating that Sebastian is alive and capable of being located. Qualifying information must be specific, verifiable, lawfully obtained, and immediately provided to law enforcement. Any purported proof must include sufficient context for validation, such as time, place, circumstances, original media files, metadata where available, and a direct route for authorities to act.
2. Up to $200,000 for information and evidence, in the alternative, that reaches a level sufficient to be used by law enforcement and subsequent prosecutors. This category is intended for information or evidence that materially advances official fact-finding, supports lawful investigative action, or provides a prosecutable evidentiary pathway if the information indicates an alternative outcome. This does not include rumor, speculation, edited screenshots without original source material, or unsupported social-media allegations.
This reward initiative is not a substitute for law enforcement reporting. Anyone who believes they see Sebastian or has urgent location information should call 911 immediately. Anyone with credible information should also contact the Sumner County Sheriff's Office, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND or [email protected], NCMEC at 1-800-THE-LOST, or the FBI through the nearest FBI office or tips.fbi.gov. Copies may be sent to [email protected] for AtNight / One World preservation, triage, and routing support, but official reporting comes first.
Sebastian's disappearance began as an urgent local missing-child response and has remained an active, unresolved public-safety matter. According to the FBI's case narrative, Sebastian spent the day of February 25, 2024, with his mother, including shopping, video games at a bowling alley, dinner at a local restaurant, and then a return home for the evening. The FBI reports that after returning home, Sebastian and his mother said goodnight sometime between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.; his mother later reported hearing a loud bang from Sebastian's room, calling to him, and receiving a response that he was okay. The next morning, she found that Sebastian was not in his room or anywhere in the house, and the missing-person response began.
The early search was large, multi-agency, and resource intensive. The FBI reports that the first week involved the Sumner County Sheriff's Office, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Emergency Management Agency, Hendersonville Police, Gallatin Police, Tennessee Highway Patrol, FBI, Metro Police, Wilson County Sheriff's Office, Sumner County EMS, Sumner County Emergency Response Team, and other Tennessee agencies. Search activity reportedly included approximately 2,000 searchers, app-based search tracking, a search radius around Sebastian's home, fire departments, mounted patrols, ATVs, search-and-rescue canines, drones, helicopters, and an airplane. The TBI has separately reported large-scale searches on the ground, in water, and from the air, with continued review of tips and evidence.
The official case posture remains active. TBI stated in its public AMBER Alert status update that Sebastian was reported missing on February 26, 2024, but that officials later developed information that the last confirmed sighting was February 25, 2024. TBI also stated that the AMBER Alert remains active, that no confirmed sightings had been established as of the update, and that the public should rely on verified law-enforcement information rather than speculation. The FBI's public case page states that the FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to Sebastian's whereabouts.

AtNight Creative Intelligence and One World are supporting a family-directed, private search-support and intelligence effort. The public-facing purpose is narrow: increase the quality and speed of credible leads, preserve potentially relevant information, reduce rumor amplification, and route actionable information to the proper authorities. AtNight / ACI's role is not to replace law enforcement, announce suspects, solicit harassment, or encourage private citizens to confront anyone. The priority is Sebastian's location, safety, and the preservation of usable information.
The AtNight / ACI intake posture emphasizes chain-of-custody and disciplined tip handling. Persons submitting information should preserve original files, avoid editing images or video, document the exact date and time, record the source path by which the information was obtained, and maintain any metadata, screenshots, URLs, messages, files, locations, or witness details. If the matter involves an immediate sighting or imminent threat, contact 911 first and do not delay.

Reward eligibility is subject to verification, lawful acquisition, official corroboration, counsel review, and applicable reward terms. No reward is intended for, or will be knowingly paid in connection with, extortion, coercion, obstruction, false reporting, fabricated evidence, illegal surveillance, unlawful access to accounts or devices, threats, witness intimidation, or participation in any offense. AtNight / ACI and One World reserve the right to reject claims involving altered materials, unverifiable accounts, information already known to authorities, or information that cannot be preserved and evaluated in a legally reliable form.
The public should not attempt private enforcement action. Do not trespass, stalk, surveil, harass, impersonate law enforcement, contact potential suspects, or publish accusations. Credible information is most valuable when it is timely, specific, lawfully collected, minimally handled, and submitted through official channels.
