So do we have confirmation that this is Noel? It says located deceased but I'm not seeing confirmation of that.... just that he's been restricted not located...

 

[MsFacetious]

And what the heck would he be doing in Utah? It's not exactly on the way from Nevada to California...

It is now not easy to follow up but seems the prefix was changed upon following information

Email from NCMEC:

Sorry, that's the only info I have. I guess the DNA testing showed a match?

So, Namus and NCMC should talk to each other.

However, he would be now 119 years old.

I'm still not clear what restricted means. Does the NCMEC usually send out requests to take down posters when a missing person has been located or identified?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I feel like they would’ve indicated he was recovered by saying that and not restricted. Now I’m no expert on terms but I feel restricted could mean the poster was taken down at the request of a descendent of Noel or the law enforcement agency.

It was probably taken down because of age

I saw other threads on this this case just has got
messy. We have articles that say Eil W Davis and Nellie H Coxs was his mother. Reno newspaper in 1926 says Mr and Mrs EW Davis and their daughter I will attach the clipping. But in another article says Mrs Price his mother was called and notified of his death. Need articles and records have written different middle initial for him. I will come back with more records but something is off.

I read the same article. In 1927 Commander Noel Davis died with Lt. Wooster in Virginia. His mother was notified by Associated Press in Utah. He grew up in Utah and joined the military in 1910. Our missing Noel Davis was only 11 years old and was raised in Nevada. Commander Davis mother was Mrs. Price. Yes, the articles are confusing since one article mentions that his parents and sister hadn't seen in awhile. Noel's mother died in 1919. He is mentioned in his sister's, mother's and father's obituary but not as deceased or missing. Who reported him missing? I could be wrong due to the wording in the newspapers.
