Specialized search teams, including mountain experts exploring caves and members of the TN National Guard conducting door-to-door searches, are combing the area both on the ground and from the air.
 
Utilizing drones, helicopters, horses, search dogs, dive teams, and up to 200 officials on foot, the ongoing search is employing various resources to locate Sebastian. Residents are urged to check their properties at least twice a day and review their trail camera footage, preferably in pairs to avoid confusion with the missing teen.
 
In a heartening development, an anonymous group of Nashville business owners has pledged a minimum reward of $3,000 for any information leading to Sebastian’s whereabouts. However, no further information has been released regarding the ongoing search efforts.
 
The community continues to rally together in hopes of finding Sebastian, and authorities remain committed to exhausting all available resources until he is located.
