UPDATE I: Volunteers gather in search for Noah Chamberlin

Hundreds of volunteers are gathering to help in the search for 2-year-old Noah Chamberlin, but authorities are not ready for them to join in the search yet.

Madison County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Tom Mapes said volunteers may gather at the old Pinson school on the west side of U.S. 45 in Pinson. He said they should be ready to go when needed.

“The TBI is doing an extensive search,” Mapes said. “They need a pristine area, and they don’t need a lot of folks out there. Be patient. I’m sure they’ll want the volunteers, but at this moment they’re just doing specific searches.”

Mapes said the TBI was gridding the area, and teams were searching ponds before volunteers would be used.
