TBI officials issued an Endangered Child Alert for Noah on Monday, Nov. 8. Noah’s family previously told News 4 they were hoping this alert would be elevated to an Amber Alert soon.
“Because that would send a push notification to everybody’s phone in America so that everyone would be aware of the situation and the seriousness of it,” Noah’s uncle Adam Ennis explained.
