I think that probably illustrates a lot about how easily Noah may have been able to get himself lost and still not have been located, when we've had people questioning how a little boy could get lost and not have been found by now.
6 adults (or at least surely not any really young children in that group) who presumably had at least some brief information about how to best search safely, possibly even told which way/direction to head, likely some degree of supplies on them and having been told to wear bright clothing (not that we know if they really were), and at least likely more prepared for the conditions have gotten lost enough that they not only haven't been found yet but are needing more resources to find them.
Poor little Noah, alone and a small child with none of those advantage, it's obvious just based on that alone would be even far more difficult to find than this group of 6 grown searchers who weren't immediately located themselves either.
Praying they find these searchers and can get the search for Noah back underway.
And of course continued prayers for protection of sweet little Noah and for peace for his family and all who love him, as well as wisdom for LE and all involved in the search.
