Bbm.
This makes me fear he ran away without shoes as in fearing a punishment or something, then someone found him ?
This case will stay with me.
I hope there are answers.
Omo.

Did LE ever go on record that Sebastian was tracked to the construction site? First we heard he was, then there was a lot of back & forth. If he was tracked the scent supposedly stopped at a small body of water that was only about knee high, they drained it & found nothing.

Chris made a comment early on saying Sebastian stepped out the front door then he just disappeared, calling him a Ninja.

Someone on Twitter suggested Steve Fischer call in TES. He agreed it was a good idea but I don’t know if they were notified/requested.

Coming up on 1 year, the search for Sebastian has been a mess since day 1. The fighting, the lack of updates, the odd characters, poor Sebastian I can’t imagine what he went through living in the middle of so much tension before he disappeared.

Yes, they believe he left without shoes or a jacket. No phone. He had a small flashlight that he kept with him that they were not able to find, they assumed he had it with him.
MOO

I dont know there is so much contradiction. Ken mains of unsolved no more has taken on case to help parents. I used too respect him. the whole thing has been really upsetting as i look at a pic off Sebastian and how young and vulnerable he looks and i can just imagine the life he had in that home. Ive had to leave it alone. My personality normally means i dont empathize much so i really get into a case , the analysis. WHen something triggers me i really empathize.

I think the info about the two torch lights out the back of the house. Nancy Grace did an interview plus a discussion panel.one of the torch lights disappears. Apparently the refuse truck said that there bin was heaveier thatn normal, didnt check though. that is why they checked landfill. That happened to a guy in the uk , he got drunk got in a bin sleep it off and went into the bin wagon mechanism. Landfills were extensively searched , not a trace. I have to say this is not defintely confirmed, It was a conclusion reached by investigators when thhey learned a bin removed that morning registered an abnormal weight. Also i think it suits the mother and stepfather for there to be this contradiction, I cant speak on their guilt, but the way Sebastian lived, If his room wasnt tidied to Mr Chris standard the penalty was having some property thrown out. I had the exact same thing. I think im biased probably because of that but i feel deeply sad for Seth Rogers.

PI Steve Fischer has been officially working this case for a few months now. He recently posted a report about the 3 lights. According to the neighbor with the camera that caught the lights the timestamp had recently stuck at 3:20ish-am but the actual time was about 5:10 am (times as close as I remember in his report). The first light seen is a neighbor wearing a flashlight taking his trash to the curb, then IIRC walking out of view. The 2 lights that come into view next is the trash truck. The report he wrote was fairly detailed. Anyway ppl can either believe him or not. Other ppl have other ideas.

Steve Fischer is a licensed PI out of CA, also AZ, TN. He has worked on several missing persons cases in the last year in all 3 states. He was scheduled to be on WebSleuths radio with Tricia a few months ago, I don’t know if that happened or not. He’s helping KP & CP around other cases.

We don’t know if he actually left without shoes or with a light. That’s what was reported by the mother. This case has gotten so much attention. The problem is so many people have started attacking each other instead of using all that energy to help search for Sebastian. It’s such a mess. It’s so sad to see Sebastian lost to the chaos.

THe nancy Grace panel looked at the lights and said it was one person followingi the other. THen people have said about the refuse wagon. Isnt it odd to be up at 3 am to put your bin out? unless you are a night owl and stay up all night

Pretty normal if you put your trash out before you go to bed for the night. Depends on your bedtime, not everyone's is the same.

Fair enough, i used to be awake all night On Nancy grace it looks like one light following another and one goes out of sight, looks more like people. Whatever the lights mean , I dont see a good outcome for this case.

People have different work schedules, many start well before the sun rises. Bakers, delivery drivers, shift workers, ect., so not odd IMO. Waiting to put your garbage can out, also not odd.

We put our can out the night before pick-up. Several times last year, we woke to our can knocked over and trash strewn about. It was a neighbor's dog, lol. So for several weeks we put the can out at 5:00 AM to avoid a mess.

IMO, the light and garbage truck are not related to Sebastian's disappearance. "Whatever" happened that night had already occured by that time.

11 months and I am now losing hope. I really thought that Sebastian would be home by now.
I have a green porch light that will be on for I don’t know how long.

Agree to top it off it was a key chain light , what has came out is that there are 5 cps reports on chris prpud foot and he was questioned about them his response was "i dont know " how do you not know there's cps cases that have your name on them ! he recalls 1 report but after recall he advised that the same cps worker had came before to their home ,due to the fact that she had been there before she surely knew the situation and blamed Sebastian for lying and telling stories . which is sad , IMO some one is getting paid to holding info or Sebastian himself .

I didn't know it was a key chain light?! How do you know this and all the other things you've stated? It's great info! I think we've heard of cp and the CPS but I don't recall a link with all those cases? Maybe it's in court records in the county where it happened? I think you have a lot of info but I have gotten so lost in the thread that your info appears to be new, but maybe just new to me? Could you help me out and show us sources for your info?

Seriously? Sebastian is on page 6? This poor kid. Where is he? The Youtubers are going down all sorts of rabbit holes but still nothing!
