Search for missing three-year-old boy
Three-year-old Noah Woods, who is partially deaf and non-verbal, disappeared from a playground in Brantham, Suffolk on the afternoon of September 15 after becoming separated from a relative near a newbuild housing estate; he was last seen wearing a white Bluey T-shirt and black Vans trainers. More than 1,300 volunteers joined police, helicopters, drones and dog units in an overnight search across the area near the River Stour estuary, with searches later widening into neighboring Essex villages, and Suffolk Police repeatedly asked the public to coordinate with officers rather than search independently.
