Police call for volunteers to search through the night for missing toddler last seen walking in the woods with his grandmother and sister


Police have called for volunteers to search through the night for a missing Tennessee boy last seen walking in the woods with his grandmother and sister.
On Sunday, Chester County Sheriff Blair Weaver made a plea to the public for more volunteers to help search for two-year-old Noah Israel Chamberlin who has been missing since Thursday and could be in danger.

As of late Sunday afternoon, Weaver said search crews had not found any sign of the boy, according to

‘We have searched a lot of area today,’ Weaver said during a press conference.

‘We’ve covered it very thoroughly.

‘We’re still searching and we’re going to continue to search through the night.’

Due to the frigid temperatures, with lows expected to be in the teens, Weaver said they would be using smaller search parties tonight.

He added that he is confident the search and rescue mission will lead to bringing Noah home safe.

‘We have total faith that we’re going to find Noah and we’re going to bring him home safe,’ he told THE NEWS GRID

Early Sunday morning, the Chester County Sheriff’s office had called for a law-enforcement-only search but in the evening asked for civilian volunteers to help with the search through the night.

Madison County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Tom Mapes said that authorities were not expanding the search area which covers about 60 acres.

He previously described the woods surrounding the grandparents’ home as being filled with creeks and rough terrain.

‘Been cold, wet, muddy, lots of hills, lot of hard terrain, lot of swamps, lot of bottoms,’ David Terry, one of the volunteers said of the search for Noah.
