Missing Since:
Mar 22, 2015
Noah was last seen March 22, 2015. He was wearing a camouflage jacket, black and yellow pants, and Spiderman boots. He was carrying a tin of Pokemon cards.
Anyone know his birthday?
It was initially reported that Noah was last seen between 9 and 9:30 a.m. Sunday. However, at a news conference Wednesday, Assistant Pulaski County Administrator Anthony Akers clarified that Noah was actually last seen by his mother at 7 a.m. watching cartoons. His mother then went and took a nap, and woke up about 10:30 a.m. and noticed Noah was missing.
..... Noah's parents, Ashley White and Paul Thomas, are being extremely cooperative, according to Akers. He said they are distraught, and are not ready to speak with the media. They are being monitored by law enforcement, which is typical of this type of investigation.
There has been some confusion about the timeline in which Noah went missing. In Wednesday's news conference, Akers said that the boy's mother dropped the father off at work around 7 a.m. Sunday. She says she came home and fell asleep, and discovered Noah was missing around 10:35 a.m. She searched for Noah herself, and called 911 shortly after 11 a.m.

.... The only rumor I have heard has to do with the little boy seen with Noah.That started with the media report one day one and then yesterday and was mentioned yesterday on facebook to which Kenny Jarrels said it was not true, even after saying he had not read that and didnt know why it was reported or where they got the information. He responded immediately which has me wondering how he know it was a rumor as fast has he did and how he was able to dispel it so fast had he not heard of it. I trust Kenny completely but it just seemed if a media reported it ,that it came from somewhere and he would need to verify it was misinformation ,unless he knows it is something he must dispel? ....
I call the metal boxes those cards come in tins. Pokemon is making a comeback and kids and teens everywhere are playing again.
I don't think you're to blame for musing about that. A healthy 5 year old WOULD roam if something caught their eye. I'm not sure why family keeps insisting he wouldn't wander. A normal 5 year old WILL wander if they take an interest in something. Unless he's been diagnosed with some anxiety disorder that doesn't allow him to step off his front porch, I think it's safe to say he'd wander.

According to police, the mother, child and small baby had taken the father to work in the Dublin area before 7 a.m. Sunday, March 22. After they returned home sometime between 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. the mother discovered Noah was not in the room watching television. She told police she searched for Noah and when she could not find him, she called 911.
If they didn't return home right away, could be possible they stopped and he got some new cards. Was this already stated they didn't go right home?
I heard that, which makes me wonder if the security footage is like at a Walmart, going with the pokemon thought of why he'd want to go outside when he wasn't allowed. They live in Dublin, he works in that area, so if they didn't get home till 9am it's possible they stopped at a store.
I totally agree. Not sure how it was put in the NCMEC link and that we only heard about it there.The Pokemon thing is weird ... since it's only reported in one place, and not even consistently, shouldn't we consider it to be a little dubious?
It seems like, with as little information as there is, if that was credible there would be repeats of it in multiple media sources, the obvious question being asked at the presser - how do they know?
