Sebastian's disappearance began as an urgent local missing-child response and has remained an active, unresolved public-safety matter. According to the FBI's case narrative, Sebastian spent the day of February 25, 2024, with his mother, including shopping, video games at a bowling alley, dinner at a local restaurant, and then a return home for the evening. The FBI reports that after returning home, Sebastian and his mother said goodnight sometime between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.; his mother later reported hearing a loud bang from Sebastian's room, calling to him, and receiving a response that he was okay. The next morning, she found that Sebastian was not in his room or anywhere in the house, and the missing-person response began.
The early search was large, multi-agency, and resource intensive. The FBI reports that the first week involved the Sumner County Sheriff's Office, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Emergency Management Agency, Hendersonville Police, Gallatin Police, Tennessee Highway Patrol, FBI, Metro Police, Wilson County Sheriff's Office, Sumner County EMS, Sumner County Emergency Response Team, and other Tennessee agencies. Search activity reportedly included approximately 2,000 searchers, app-based search tracking, a search radius around Sebastian's home, fire departments, mounted patrols, ATVs, search-and-rescue canines, drones, helicopters, and an airplane. The TBI has separately reported large-scale searches on the ground, in water, and from the air, with continued review of tips and evidence.
The official case posture remains active. TBI stated in its public AMBER Alert status update that Sebastian was reported missing on February 26, 2024, but that officials later developed information that the last confirmed sighting was February 25, 2024. TBI also stated that the AMBER Alert remains active, that no confirmed sightings had been established as of the update, and that the public should rely on verified law-enforcement information rather than speculation. The FBI's public case page states that the FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to Sebastian's whereabouts.

AtNight Creative Intelligence and One World are supporting a family-directed, private search-support and intelligence effort. The public-facing purpose is narrow: increase the quality and speed of credible leads, preserve potentially relevant information, reduce rumor amplification, and route actionable information to the proper authorities. AtNight / ACI's role is not to replace law enforcement, announce suspects, solicit harassment, or encourage private citizens to confront anyone. The priority is Sebastian's location, safety, and the preservation of usable information.
The AtNight / ACI intake posture emphasizes chain-of-custody and disciplined tip handling. Persons submitting information should preserve original files, avoid editing images or video, document the exact date and time, record the source path by which the information was obtained, and maintain any metadata, screenshots, URLs, messages, files, locations, or witness details. If the matter involves an immediate sighting or imminent threat, contact 911 first and do not delay.
