The search for a missing Tennessee boy diagnosed with autism reached Hopkins County on Thursday.

Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Sumner County (TN) Sheriff’s Office, Nashville Police Department and Kentucky State Police, searched the Hopkins County Regional landfill in White Plains for signs of 15-year-old Sebastian Rogers, of Hendersonville, Tennessee, a suburb of Nashville northeast of the city.

Officials searched the landfill because some garbage from Hendersonville (specifically, Rogers’ neighborhood) is transported to Hopkins County, according to WFIE.com.

Police did not release information concerning evidence, if any, found at the landfill. It’s also unclear if the landfill search will continue on Friday.

Rogers has been missing since February 26.
