Sebastian Rogers' mom defends leaving town during search for missing autistic son: 'My husband has to go back to work and my son could be anywhere'

Missing Tennessee teen Sebastian Rogers' mom has defended leaving town while the search for her autistic son is ongoing as he 'could be anywhere'.

Katie Proudfoot revealed she will be leaving Hendersonville to accompany her husband Chris as he goes back to work in Memphis.

However, a frantic search is still ongoing for missing Sebastian, 15, who vanished from the couple's home a month ago.

Proudfoot told broadcaster Nancy Grace admitted she is 'absolutely' concerned about leaving, but that she does not know when she will return.

'My son could be anywhere and we're looking everywhere and anywhere,' she said.

Sebastian Rogers went missing from his home in Hendersonville a month ago and the United Cajun Navy has now taken over the search

Chris explained the decision had been taken so he could go back to work, although Proudfoot admitted she will not be returning back to work yet.

The couple along with Sebastian's father Seth and an army of volunteers have been combing the area for the teen since he disappeared on February 26.

The Cajun Navy has now taken over the search, employing drones and K9 units in an attempt to trace him.

The non-profit composed of volunteers with boats was formed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to help look for survivors and has helped with search and rescue since.

The group recently joined the search for missing University of Missouri student Riley Strain, whose body was pulled from the Cumberland River on Friday.

Police and volunteers have been searching nearby woods blasting Eye of the Tiger, which is Sebastian's favorite song.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said more than 2,000 miles have been searched on foot, and there have been aerial searches with helicopter, drones and a fixed wing plane.

Sebastian was last seen by his mom going up to bed after he had taken out the trash the night before he vanished.

His mother has claimed that she heard a 'noise' coming from his bedroom that night.

'He was doing something in his room because about an hour later, I heard some noise and I was like, "I don't care what you're doing in there but go to sleep,"' Katie said.

His father, Seth,  has relentlessly searched for his son and said that he has taken off of work and gotten very little sleep as he does so

'Six o'clock, I went to wake him up for school Monday morning, and that's when he wasn't there.'

 'I didn't see him in his room. I looked all over. I ran through the whole house. I looked out all the doors and windows, and I was like hollering his name.'

'I jumped in my car, and I drove around the neighborhood, and I drove over by the school, and ... like, at this point I was like hysterical, and I was crying, I was screaming.'

Officials analyzed home security video from the Hendersonville neighborhood around 3:10 am on the day the teen went missing.

The camera, which was placed at the back of the house, captured two light sources far away and another light source named 'Subject One' closer to the house.

Another light source named 'Subject Two' can be seen briefly appearing in the footage and and moving toward Subject One before being obscured by bushes.

A few seconds later, Subject One can be seen moving out of frame. Subject Two then reappears in the video and follows Subject One.

However, Sebastian's stepfather insisted the video is not what it seems. 'Nothing that is being assumed right now is actually true about that video,' he told YouTube channel Chronicles of Olivia.

'Everybody is trying to assume is a flashlight, I hate to say this it's not as much as we would love it to be one it's not.'

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigations said, 'The video has been collected, and from the beginning of the investigation, has been analyzed, and enhanced where possible, by tech experts with the TBI, FBI, and Secret Service. To date, nothing gathered from these video systems has been determined to be significant.'

'We do caution that some surveillance video being shared in the public may have been misinterpreted or misidentified, or not shown in its entirety. It has been determined that it does not hold any evidentiary significance to the investigation.'

Seth said that his son would not get into a stranger's vehicle.

'It's up in the air for me. He would not get into a vehicle unless he knew them,' he told NC5.

The troubled father said he was at his wits' end trying to work out what happened to his son with no leads that make sense.

He said Sebastian was not one to wander off, and due to an experience as a young boy, would never go far without shoes on.
