Summary

Autistic teen Sebastian Rogers is still missing.

The Sheriff's Department announced they are scaling back the search for Rogers and moving into more of an investigation. That didn't stop hundreds of volunteers searching in several different areas of Tennessee over the weekend.

Saturday volunteers gathered at The Rockland Recreation Area which is about seven miles from Sebastian Rogers' neighborhood. As news spread that Sebastian's Dad, Seth Rogers, was in the area with the Cajun Navy, excited volunteers flocked to the area.

Today Sebastian's mother and stepfather join Nancy to weigh in on finding the missing teen.
