Mysterious update in the search for missing autistic boy Sebastian Rogers as woman shares picture of boy resembling him at mountain visitor center - two months after he vanished

A possible picture of missing autistic teen Sebastian Rogers has been circulating social media, more than two months after he went missing.

The picture was reportedly taken at a visitors' center in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina.

The snapshot, which was taken by a woman at the rest stop, very strongly resembles the missing teen, 15, who went missing from his Hendersonville home on February 26, barefoot with just a flashlight.

The woman later turned the picture into the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations and her friend posted the picture online.

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

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

Sebastian lives in Stafford Court, Hendersonville, on the north-eastern outskirts of Nashville.

Journalist Nick Beres, who has been closely tracking Rogers' case since his disappearance nearly ten weeks ago, says investigators are still lacking strong evidence in one direction or the next about where this case is headed.

On a recent Facebook livestream addressing the mysterious photo, Beres said he finds it interesting that now, seven days after the rest stop photo was released, investigators have not ruled the possibility of the teen in the photo being Sebastian. 

About a month ago, the search for Rogers was called off due to safety concerns for the members of the Cajun Navy deployed to help find him.

In late March, Sebastian's mother Katie Proudfoot and her husband Chris left Hendersonville to go back to work in Memphis.

The Cajun Navy, the non-profit comprised of volunteers with boats, was formed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to help look for survivors. The group had been helping with Rogers' search and rescue effort sand even took over the search in March.

Rogers' father, Seth Rogers, a correctional officer, has been ruthlessly searching for his son on, Beres says, a possibly full time basis.

Investigators still have no meaningful leads that they have shared with the public, as the search for Rogers enters its third month 

In March, eerie footage from the back of the house from which Rogers disappeared was released, revealing two light sources far away, and another one closer to the house.

Officials have still not been able to determine if one of the light sources was Rogers, they do believe that the sources suggest another person was outside the house that night.

Seth Rogers insists his son would not have gotten into a stranger's vehicle 'unless he knew them.' 

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

Police continue to investigate the disappearance, 'working' every new piece of evidence they receive, though no concrete leads have taken form in the weeks since the search efforts were scaled back.
