"We have not cleared anyone, but we have no evidence to support foul play," he said.

I asked about exclusive home security video obtained from the neighborhood the night Sebastian disappeared. You can see two suspicious light sources, which we circled in an area behind the teen's home. Since we first aired the video last month, Craddock has said, "It is of no evidentiary value."

"Can you tell me what those lights are?" I asked.

"No," he replied.

"Why?"

"Because the investigation remains ongoing."

"So, it could play a role down the road?" we continued.

"We don't know what we don't know so yes it could play a role," he said.

BREAKING: I've learned of a new massive search effort underway this morning to look for Sebastian Rogers.
Here are exclusive details on what is a large new response by professionals with boots on the ground looking for Sebastian.
This coming one day after authorities vowed to step-up the search effort.
True to their word it's happening this morning.
This morning there is a staging area across from the Shackle Island Volunteer Fire Department near the Hendesonville neighborhood where Sebastian disappeared more than five weeks ago.
I'm told dozens of professional searchers have been called in by Sumner County EMS to canvas the entire area -- a six to ten mile radius.
We are talking sheriff's deputies, firefighters and more coming in from counties across middle Tennessee to help.
So far we seen several officers, two boats ... utilitity vehicles already at the staging area.
This is NOT in response to any new lead or tip.
The plan is simply for them to recanvas the area already covered looking for anything that perhaps was missed during the original search ... or maybe something new that's appeared.
Again, this will be an organized grid-style search by professionals.
Residents in the neighborhood will see these officers out walking in the area.
It's expected to take all of today and maybe in to tomorrow.
The Sumner County sheriff reports:
“Law enforcement agencies are currently conducting another thorough search in the Long Hollow Pike area in reference to the disappearance of Sebastian Rogers, a young member of our community.
Despite exhaustive efforts, there are no new leads or evidence to indicate the search will be immediately fruitful.
However, we are committed to leaving no stone unturned in our mission to locate Sebastian and bring him home safely.”

My god I hope they find something. Even just a sign of him.

Someone found eyeglasses that may belong to Sebastian

I suspect the search must be a result of a positive id of the glasses. He hopefully is somewhere close to home.

People have recently been circulating a photo of Sebastian without glasses. It appears to be an edited version of his Santa photo.
Original version attached.

They aren't his glasses.

 

[Eli9]

One less thing to speculate I guess. I'm happy the statement was issued.

 

[IzzyBlanche]

LE is saying that today's search is not the result of a tip. Shoot.

 

[tlcya]

I figured the glasses being Sebastian's was a long shot. I think it is wise that authorities are revisiting his neighborhood and doing more searches there. It all started there. MOO

 

[seasideForest]

Please somebody bring this young man home. Better yet, alive and to his bio father.

 

[aliciaJ87]

I am glad that they at least told us the glasses weren’t related.

I am glad that they at least told us the glasses weren’t related.

Me too. They didn't have to and it's appreciated.

Snipped & bolded by me

What a very interesting phrase that is. Maybe something new that's appeared in an area that has already been searched.

Gosh, I hope they find this poor boy today.

 

[aliciaJ87]

I know that this case has absolutely nothing to do with me or my emotions, but I’ve been super emotional watching all the updates this morning. I just have a feeling today.

It’s still weird to me that the vibe is “we don’t know anything, don’t even think for a second that we know anything”.

I think it's good to go back to square 1 and start anew. Look how many times they've overlooked missing persons in the past and they've been found right where they "looked" the first time. JMO
