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.
Authorities and locals of a rural Tennessee community continue to search the woods for a toddler named Noah after he disappeared two days ago.
More than 500 community members of Pinson, Tenn., sprang into action to search the 600-acre wooded area where 2-year-old Noah Chamberlin went missing during a walk with his 4-year-old sister and his grandmother.
The toddler’s disappearance triggered a huge community outpouring as hundreds of people volunteered to help look for Noah.
Locals have started a social media campaign with the hashtag #FindNoah.
The volunteers filled the Chester County Sheriff’s department, outfitted themselves with reflective vests and filled busses transporting them to the woods where Noah was last seen.

Search for Noah continues into fourth night

Church prays
Volunteers and church members prayed for Noah at Pinson Baptist Church during Sunday morning’s service. The church and the old Pinson school next door are being used as a gathering point for volunteers and donations of food and other items to help in the search effort.
The Rev. John Gaters, pastor of Pinson Baptist, said he was humbled by the number of people aiding the search for Noah.
“Something like this happens which is tragic and you hate it, and yet in the middle of it you see people really do care,” Gaters said. “They really, honestly care about this child, they care about this family. I’m amazed.”
Many kneeled at the front of the sanctuary to pray for Noah near the end of the service. The service also began with singing “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.”
“The thought of a lost child, Lord, brings many of us to tears,” Gaters prayed. “… We know you are ultimately responsible for that child, Lord. We know that you created him, that you love him.”

I can only assume that in the process of elimination Noah’s parents and grandparents were investigated and ruled out as persons of interest in Noah’s disappearance.

Search efforts for Noah Chamberlin scaled back as winter weather moves in
POSTED 5:13 PM, JANUARY 19, 2016
CHESTER COUNTY, Tenn. — Local law enforcement representatives met with the media on Tuesday to give an update on the latest in the search for 2-year-old Noah Chamberlin.
Officials said with wintry weather forecasted they would not be using volunteers this evening to search for the boy.
Law enforcement said they would continue the search as long as the weather would allow them to.
One of the biggest issues they have had to face, law enforcement said, were the many rumors and speculation being shared on social media.
They asked the public to refrain from starting or sharing rumors, as it makes it difficult for law enforcement to do their job.
One such rumor involving a homeowner pouring concrete recently took off on social media.
The sheriff said that concrete was poured over two years ago and had nothing to do with Noah.
They did however say they still believe the 2-year-old is alive and in the woods.
Noah went missing on Thursday as he was on a walk through the woods with his grandmother and sister.
So far, law enforcement agencies have searched over 1,000 acres of land using hundreds of people.

Law enforcement officials said during a press conference Wednesday they have reason to believe Noah will be found.
“We’ve got some leads we’ve recovered, and that’s one reason we feel he’s still there,” they said.
Leaders would not elaborate on what type of leads or evidence they found. When pressed for how ‘realistic’ it is Noah will be found alive, investigators responded by saying they would not give up hope.
“We still believe he is out there and evidently a lot of people do too, because they’re coming to help us. We appreciate the support; we appreciate the help,” Sheriff Blair Weaver said. “We haven’t stopped and we’re not going to stop.”

The little boy was found dead by rescue crews about a mile from the home.
A visibly upset search and rescue crew asked people to keep the family of Noah in your prayers.
They said the family wanted to make sure everyone knew just how much they appreciated everything they did in the search and rescue effort.
