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.

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.
