No trace of missing Tenn. boy after 2 days of searching

Madison County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Tom Mapes said Noah, his grandmother and four-year-old sister sat down to talk while in the woods and when the grandmother turned around, he was gone.

Chester County Sheriff Blair Weaver told the media volunteers will be accepted until 7 a.m. Sunday morning, but if Noah can not be found, the search will become strictly law enforcement.

He tweeted that Sunday’s search would involve just trained law enforcement.

Authorities estimated nearly 1,000 people have assisted in the search for the little boy in the past 28 hours including volunteers and law enforcement.

“Wear warm, comfortable clothing and shoes”, the Sheriff’s Department said in a Facebook message. “Bring flashlights, tobaggan, gloves, etc. It is essential that you go to the school FIRST to be accounted for”.

“Since Thursday and I think, (I’ve) maybe had less than an hour of sleep”, volunteer Ricky Alexander said. “We’ve got to get this baby home”, Alexander said.

“Been cold, wet, muddy, lots of hills, lots of hard terrain, lot of swamps, lot of bottoms”.

Officials say trained search and rescue workers are on the ground and National Guard helicopters are in the air.

Authorities and locals of a rural Tennessee community continue to search the woods for a toddler named Noah after he disappeared two days ago.

He was last seen wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans.

Chamberlin is 2-years-old, is 2’0, and weighs 25 pounds.

But with dropping temperatures after Thursday night’s rain and darkness setting in again, there is definitely concern.
