Tennessee state troopers blast 'Eye of the Tiger' into woodlands during desperate hunt for missing autistic boy Sebastian Rogers after he vanished from his bed seven days ago

Cops have blasted 'Eye of the Tiger' into the Tennessee woodlands during a desperate search for an autistic boy who disappeared from his home a week ago.

Sebastian Rogers, 15, is believed to have left his family house with a flashlight in the early hours of February 26. He was reported missing by his parents at 6.30am.

Tennessee State Troopers used a loudspeaker attached to a drone to blast the Rocky  theme tune - Sebastian's favorite song - in the hopes it would entice him out if he's hiding. 

The state Bureau of Investigation released an endangered child alert for the teenager on the day he disappeared - and officials have since deployed drones, dogs, boats, horses and helicopters in the search for him.

'We were told that his favorite song was 'Eye of The Tiger,'' Deputy Chief Eric Craddock with The Sumner County Sheriff's Department said. 

'We tried playing that to kind of call him and let him know we're here to help. I'm sure that he could see what's going on here and be intimidated. 

'But if he sees this newscast, I want him to know: Sebastian come out we're here to help you. We just wanna get you home safe.' 

'We have no leads, no details to indicate that Sebastian is not alive,' Craddock added in an update on Monday. 

He said officials were now 'scaling down' the ground search as they 'transitioned to the investigative side'. 

'We have consulted with experts in search and rescue, they've said 'you've done everything you can do'.' 

Sebastian lives in Stafford Court, Hendersonville, on the north-eastern outskirts of Nashville, and he is believed to be wearing glasses with a black sweatshirt and sweatpants.

They include mountain experts who have been checking nearby caverns, according to Ken Weidner, director of Sumner County Emergency Management Agency (EMA). 

'Yesterday, we had a group from East Tennessee come in and they're mountainous experts and they do caves,' Weidner told WKRN. 

'So, any cave that we've marked, we've had them in those caves.' 

By late last week, Craddock said they were 'operating under the assumption that Sebastian walked off', adding that his family had been cooperating.
