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.”
