It is 05:40am.... Nearly 15 hours has passed since vulnerable 3-year-old Noah vanished after going missing in Brantham, Suffolk just after 3pm yesterday afternoon.
Noah has yet to be found.
The temperature dropped to a chilly 10°C overnight, as dedicated services continued their attempt to locate the autistic, non verbal and partially deaf boy
In a new update, police released a new photo of Noah and also warned that due to his vulnerabilities, he will not respond to his name being called, which added a further challenge with the search.
Police said Noah was at the playground in Merriam Close, Brantham, Suffolk, at 3pm on Tuesday and is reported to have run off down an alleyway nearby towards a new-build housing estate.
Noah was with a relative at the playground but "became separated" from them as they left, Suffolk Police said.
Passengers on trains between Manningtree and Ipswich have been told their services must run at a reduced speed due to the searches.
Rescue teams have been carrying out door-to-door inquiries in the area and cctv including doorbell cameras have been checked
Police have described Noah as white, with curly ginger hair - and he was last seen wearing a T-shirt branded with pictures from children's TV show Bluey, shorts and 'Vans' trainers with a white stripe.
Residents in the area have been asked to check their gardens, sheds and outbuildings.
Emergency services continued through the night to find Noah, which included specially trained officers and dog units. These searches have been assisted by helicopters from the National Police Air Service and HM Coastguard, with further support on the ground provided by HM Coastguard, Suffolk Fire & Rescue Service, Suffolk Lowland Search & Rescue and a vast number of members of the public.
Brantham Leisure Centre urged people living nearby to carry out checks, saying on Facebook: "We have no updates confirming the safe return of Noah. We urge you all to check your gardens, neighbours gardens and behind bins/cars."
