“The phone he was carrying when he went missing was found today in the river below the apartment complex,” the Eagle County PIO wrote on Facebook. “Despite exhaustive efforts by both first responders and volunteers, we have been unable to find any other additional clues.”
CBS Denver reports that Sebastian is not comfortable around adults he doesn’t know. No one should shout his name out. Instead, he responds to animal noises and children’s songs. He’s also a heavy sleeper who likes to sleep in small, confined areas.
Anyone with any information on Sebastian’s whereabouts should contact the Eagle police at (970) 445-4911 or email at eaglecountypio@gmail.com.
