AtNight Creative Intelligence Issues Tipline Intake Update Related to the Disappearance of Sebastian Wayne Drake Rogers

December 20, 2025 — AtNight Creative Intelligence is releasing an updated summary of tipline and intake activity associated with the ongoing disappearance investigation of Sebastian Wayne Drake Rogers, a 17-year-old autistic teenager from Hendersonville, Tennessee, who was reported missing from Sumner County on February 25, 2024, at the age of 15. The purpose of this update is to provide transparency on the scale of inbound communications being received, processed, and triaged, and to reinforce the continued call for actionable information.

Based on internal exports from one dedicated phone line alone, AtNight has documented 873 calls logged between October 28, 2024, and December 19, 2025. Of these, 727 were incoming and 146 were outgoing. Call duration trends indicate a median length of approximately 23 seconds, with an average call length of approximately 190 seconds (just over three minutes), suggesting a mix of brief contacts and a smaller set of longer, information-rich conversations.

Text-message intake on that same line reflects 3,214 messages logged between November 14, 2024, and August 3, 2025. Many inbound messages consist of reported observations, screenshots, photos, and other materials submitted by the public. The message log also reflects ongoing two-way engagement with certain tipsters, including repeated exchanges over time rather than single, isolated submissions.

In addition to the above, AtNight’s 332-252-3636 line has generated at least 100 additional calls and approximately 1,000 additional text messages to date. Combined, these two lines alone account for approximately 973 calls and approximately 4,214 text messages, with intake continuing to increase as contacts are received and processed.

“Over the past year, we have been inundated with calls, texts, and emails regarding Sebastian Wayne Drake Rogers.” Peter Kourkolis, AtNight’s national tipline coordinator for the Rogers case, emphasized. “We are appreciative of the public’s concern and the abundance of information shared with us. We meticulously record every tip, regardless of its size, and disseminate credible information to the appropriate authorities for review. We are diligently processing every detail and urge anyone who believes they have witnessed something or possesses information about Sebastian’s disappearance to contact us. Please provide as much information as possible, including dates, locations, and descriptions. Your assistance remains crucial in aiding us in locating answers for Sebastian’s father, Seth, and the community at large.”

The volume of emails related to this case and associated tip submissions remains substantial. While reconciliation and final counting are ongoing, AtNight’s current internal estimate is that email intake is now exceeding 10,000 messages across the relevant AtNight and One World inboxes, including correspondence, attachments, and multi-part submissions requiring review and indexing.

To support triage and continuity of analysis, AtNight maintains a structured contacts and labeling system. In one contacts dataset alone, 116 contact entries have been created, with 66 entries carrying custom tags used for analyst classification and prioritization (including labels such as “Flag for Review,” “Burner,” and “Hangup,” among others). Certain contact entries also contain brief tip notes to preserve the context of the outreach and enable cross-referencing against other submissions and timeline data.

AtNight is also working from a PDF extraction of raw call and message logs containing more than 16,000 lines of records. This log format provides additional metadata not always present in CSV exports, including call status outcomes (such as voicemail or missed calls) and geographic fields (including city, state, and, where available, ZIP code). This information supports pattern analysis and helps identify anomalies, repeat sources, and geographic clustering that may warrant additional scrutiny.

The disappearance of Sebastian Wayne Drake Rogers remains unsolved. AtNight Creative Intelligence continues to encourage the public to submit credible, specific, and time-bound information through official and established channels. Tips may be directed to the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) at 1-800-THE-LOST, or Dog the Bounty Hunter & AtNight Tipline at 844-922-3236. Tipsters should reference the disappearance of Sebastian Wayne Drake Rogers when calling or messaging. All credible information received by AtNight is documented, triaged, preserved, and forwarded as appropriate to relevant authorities and partner channels involved in the ongoing effort.

Over one-quarter of the contacts originated from Kentucky, followed by Tennessee (Sebastian’s home state) and Florida. Calls and texts were received from every region of the United States, indicating that public awareness and concern extend beyond Tennessee. States across the Midwest, Southeast, and West Coast demonstrate significant engagement, with smaller but notable contact volumes from Pennsylvania, Alabama, Indiana, Arizona, Ohio, Texas, and others.

Qualitative Insights from Regional Data

Kentucky: The high volume of calls from Kentucky may be attributed to its proximity to Sumner County and the cross-border communities that follow Tennessee news. Several messages reported sightings or rumors near the Kentucky-Tennessee border.
Tennessee: Local callers provided updates on community searches, shared social media posts, and reported unusual vehicles in neighborhoods. Tennessee remains the primary focus of the investigation.
Florida and California: Tipsters from these states frequently sent social media screenshots or shared information about individuals who resembled Sebastian. Several callers mentioned seeing missing person bulletins shared on national platforms.
Pennsylvania and the Northeast: Surprisingly, a significant number of calls and texts originated from states in the Northeast, indicating the national reach of the case. Many of these messages shared online theories or requested assistance.

Continuing Need for Public Assistance

Despite receiving a substantial amount of information, the case remains unsolved. Investigators have diligently followed hundreds of tips but have yet to find concrete leads. The FBI and local authorities are actively encouraging anyone with credible and time-bound observations to come forward. AtNight is particularly interested in:

Unfamiliar vehicles or individuals observed in Sebastian’s neighborhood between January 1, 2024, and February 25, 2024.
These vehicles should encompass taxis, rideshare services, work vans (white or red), rental box trucks (Home Depot or Budget), moving trucks, and tractor-trailers.

For each sighting, please provide comprehensive details, including the condition of the license plates, any visible company names or logos on the vehicles, distinctive markings or damage, and the approximate date and time of the sighting.
