A private eye conducting his own investigation into the disappearance of Sebastian Rogers is clearing up a previous claim that he's the only person "really" looking for the missing Tennessee teen.

Sebastian, a 15-year-old boy with autism, vanished from the Hendersonville, Tennessee, home he shared with his mother and stepfather on Feb. 25. His perplexing disappearance has gained the attention of private parties and investigators outside of law enforcement, perhaps most notably, Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman.

The former bail bondsman, alongside Sebastian's biological father, Seth Rogers, joined forces in the search. They have since filed a preliminary injunction against multiple parties also looking for the boy, citing interference and obstruction in the investigation, according to court documents obtained by WSMV-TV.

Private investigator Steve Fischer, who claimed he is actively looking for the missing teen, responded with a non-party opposition, arguing against the injunction, while also taking to X to clarify his part in the search.

"Just to be clear I did not say I was 'the only one really looking for Sebastian,' " he wrote on social media Wednesday. "I did not do an interview, they are implying that from my filing. In my filing I stated that legitimate search teams and Sumner EMA, TBI, FBI, SCSO, Equuisearch and others were searching, not to mention Crabtree, Clue, Cletus and others that I publicly shared I was searching with. I said that none of the legitimate search teams were claiming interference, including myself."

Fischer argues the injunction "would not only stifle transparency but also distort the narrative to favor AtNight Media—an unlicensed entity—with a reckless agenda that disregards the best interests of the missing ," according to the filing reviewed by the Lawyer Herald.

AtNight Media, Chapman, and Rogers have partnered together in their search.

Following the announcement of their collaboration in September, Chapman and Rogers claimed they've been on the receiving end of "really bad" death threats since ramping up efforts to find the missing teen.

"People run their mouths," Rogers previously told WKRN-TV. "There's keyboard warriors every day. They want to send death threats and things to people, but they are cowards."
