The Aporia · CCTV shows last sighting of Noah Woods

Suffolk Police released CCTV footage showing three-year-old Noah Woods at a playground in Brantham about half an hour before he went missing on Tuesday at approximately 15:00 BST. The video captures Noah running around the park, and police are now asking for assistance from residents to review any relevant camera footage that could help locate him. Noah is partially deaf and non-verbal, making it unlikely that he would respond if his name was called out.

Story summary

On Tuesday afternoon, three-year-old Noah Woods, who is partially deaf and non-verbal, went missing after visiting a playground in Brantham, Suffolk. He became separated from his relative at around 3:00 PM while near Merriam Close. Described as white with curly ginger hair, wearing a Bluey t-shirt, shorts, and black Vans trainers, Noah was last seen running down an alleyway towards a new-build housing estate. The surrounding area includes woods, a pond, and the River Stour.

Emergency services including HM Coastguard helicopters and rescue teams were deployed to search for Noah, while up to 100 volunteers joined in the effort. Trains between Manningtree and Ipswich ran at reduced speeds due to the searches. On Wednesday, Suffolk Police released CCTV footage showing Noah playing in the playground shortly before he disappeared.

On Thursday, a body was found in Decoy Pond during the search efforts; it is believed to be Noah. The death is being treated as unexplained rather than suspicious. Up to 1,300 members of the public had participated in the search operation by that time.
