Missing Va. Boy Found In Septic Tank
DUBLIN, Va.(WJZ)--The search for a missing 5-year old from Virginia comes to a tragic end.
Jessica Kartalija has the story.
After going missing Sunday, the young boy's body was discovered in a septic tank Thursday.
Hundreds of volunteers spent the past week searching for him.
"If nobody is out here looking for him, nobody is going to find him."
But the search for 5-year old Noah Thomas ends tragically Thursday.
"He was found at a location near his home. His body was discovered in a septic tank during a more detailed and aggressive search," said Jim Davis, Pulaski County Sheriff.
Prior to finding Noah's body, police received more than a hundred tips--including reports of a suspicious vehicle in the family's Dublin neighborhood.
"The recovery of the body is part of our investigation and ongoing. At this time no one is in custody."
The cause of death has not been determined the body is being transported to a medical examiner in Roanoke for a complete autopsy.
