Re: the way the searching was done and the criticism of it...
I will agree that after the initial shock and sadness wear off, those in charge of such things should re-examine their protocols to see if any improvements, changes, etc., can be made to incorporate what they've learned in this investigation into Noah's disappearance. As hard as they all worked, I'm sure even they'd all agree there's always room for learning new strategies, deploying new tactics, and re-examining data.
I'm not a professional searcher, and I won't pretend to know first hand what it's like. I also won't run them down for not finding him sooner. We don't know how long he was in that clearing. He could have reached that area last Thursday afternoon for all we know - and if that's the case - he likely succumbed to the elements that night and even searches at the first light on Friday wouldn't have brought him home alive, had they found him. But that's all pure speculation of course.
They searched meticulously for him. A little, tiny guy in a great big wooded area. They had to move methodically so as not to miss anything, and they couldn't have moved any faster than they did, in case they overlooked something. Now I suppose if they would have had 20,000 people out in those woods they may have found him sooner, but they didn't.
I believe they did the very best they could, with what they had, what they know, and the elements & time working against them.
moo.
