NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Duane Chapman, also known as Dog the Bounty Hunter, is looking for new leads and has raised the reward amount for information regarding Sebastian Rogers.
Sebastian Rogers, 15, disappeared from his Hendersonville home in February. During the first couple of months of his disappearance, several law enforcement agencies actively searched for the teen, but never came across any sightings of him. Law enforcement then pulled back to focus on the “investigative side.”

However, Seth Rogers, Sebastian’s biological father, never stopped searching.
Last month, Dog The Bounty Hunter joined the search efforts. His first act was to raise the reward money for information from $50,000 to $100,000 .
This week, Chapman raised the reward amount for information, which now totals $175,000 after his team said he received “valuable” information and leads in Oregon and New York.
Bryndis Davis, the lead high-task force investigator for AtNight Intelligence Agency and Dog the Bounty Hunter, said she hopes the increase in reward money will develop further assistance from the public.
