[0:34] Speaker 1: There was also evidence of chronic battering with extensive healing
[0:40] Speaker 1: jaw fractures and three healing posterior rib fractures, so there
[0:45] Speaker 1: were injuries to the jaw that had began to heal.
[0:59] Speaker 2: Hampton is a sad in Virginia that's nestled on the
[1:02] Speaker 2: southeastern end of the Virginia Peninsula. As one of the
[1:06] Speaker 2: oldest continuous English speaking settlements in the United States, its
[1:10] Speaker 2: routes stretched back over four hundred years. The city's history
[1:15] Speaker 2: began in sixteen o seven, when English colonists established Fort
[1:19] Speaker 2: Algernon at Old Point to Comfort. Fort Monroe also played
[1:23] Speaker 2: a crucial role in the defense of the Union during
[1:26] Speaker 2: the Civil War, serving as a refuge for escaped enslaved
[1:30] Speaker 2: people who sought asylum under the Contraband Decision. The town
[1:35] Speaker 2: of Hampton itself was officially founded in sixteen ten, making
[1:39] Speaker 2: it one of the oldest English speaking communities in the
[1:41] Speaker 2: New World. The arrival of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
[1:45] Speaker 2: in the late nineteenth century spurred economic growth, bringing in
[1:50] Speaker 2: new industries and facilitating trade. Hampton's proximity to the water
[1:54] Speaker 2: also made it a hub for shipbuilding and fishing industries
[1:58] Speaker 2: that have remained vital to say the local economy. Then,
[2:02] Speaker 2: in the twentieth century, Hampton became known for its contributions
[2:06] Speaker 2: to aeronautics and space exploration. The city played a pivotal
[2:11] Speaker 2: role in the space race, with local engineers and scientists
[2:14] Speaker 2: contributing to the success of numerous space missions. Today, the
[2:18] Speaker 2: city is home to several institutions of higher learning, including
[2:22] Speaker 2: Hampton University, a historically black university with a prestigious reputation.
[2:29] Speaker 2: Hampton's cultural landscape is just as varied, with numerous museums,
[2:34] Speaker 2: historic sites, and recreational facilities. The Virginia Air and Space Center,
[2:40] Speaker 2: for instance, serves as the official visitor center for NASA,
[2:44] Speaker 2: Langley Research Center and Langley Air Force Space, offering visitors
[2:49] Speaker 2: a glimpse into the past, present, and future of aviation
[2:53] Speaker 2: and space exploration. Amidst Hampton's rich history and thriving communities
[2:58] Speaker 2: lies the Bayside Mode Mobile Home Village on Atlantic Avenue,
[3:02] Speaker 2: a residential area that tells its own unique story. The village,
[3:07] Speaker 2: like many mobile home communities, offers affordable housing to a
[3:11] Speaker 2: diverse mix of residents, from young families to retirees. Among
[3:16] Speaker 2: the rows of modest mobile homes, one in particular stood out,
[3:20] Speaker 2: a small, weathered structure with a porch cluttered with a
[3:23] Speaker 2: haphazard array of household items. Children's toys were scattered across
[3:29] Speaker 2: the worn wooden steps, mingling with old shoes and plastic bags.
[3:34] Speaker 2: The yard, which was overgrown with long, ragged grass, seemed
[3:38] Speaker 2: to tell a tale of neglect, or perhaps of a
[3:42] Speaker 2: family overwhelmed by life's challenges. Just after eleven thirty a m.
[3:47] Speaker 2: On the twenty fourth of June twenty nineteen, a phone
[3:51] Speaker 2: call came into Hampton Police from this unassuming home. The
[3:56] Speaker 2: call it reported that their son had vanished in the
[3:58] Speaker 2: middle of the night. The Mohile home where the nine
[4:16] Speaker 2: one one call had originated, was occupied by Julia Tomlin,
[4:20] Speaker 2: a young mother who had lived in Trailer sixteen since
[4:23] Speaker 2: July of two thousand and eighteen. The small weather trailer
[4:28] Speaker 2: was home to her and three of her children, three
[4:31] Speaker 2: year old Samuel, two year old Noah, and six year
[4:34] Speaker 2: old Chain. Julia's life had been a constant struggle to
[4:38] Speaker 2: make ends. Mate unemployed in grappling with her mental health conditions,
[4:44] Speaker 2: she relied on disability checks as her primary source of income.
[4:48] Speaker 2: Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, attention deficit disorder, and post traumatic
[4:53] Speaker 2: stress disorder. Julia's daily life was said to be a
[4:56] Speaker 2: battle against her circumstances. The family depended on various forms
[5:03] Speaker 2: of government assistance to survive. Food stamps, temporary assistance for
[5:08] Speaker 2: naedy families, supplemental Security income, and medicaid were life lands
[5:13] Speaker 2: that kept the family afloat. But despite these supports, life
[5:18] Speaker 2: in the trailer park was far from easy, and Julia
[5:20] Speaker 2: often found herself overwhelmed by the demands of raising three
[5:24] Speaker 2: children on her own. Of her three children, Julia seemed
[5:28] Speaker 2: to have a particular concern for Noah. She believed he
[5:32] Speaker 2: might have autism. Although no formal diagnosis had been made,
[5:37] Speaker 2: Noah exhibited behaviors that apparently worried her. He often rocked
[5:41] Speaker 2: back and forth to soothe himself and sometimes banged his
[5:44] Speaker 2: head in distress. To year old, Know had been a
[5:48] Speaker 2: late walker, and his speech development was slow, leaving him
[5:52] Speaker 2: often silent or babbling words that were difficult to understand.
[5:57] Speaker 2: His grandmother, Cindy Jones, said of him he was quiet, loving, cute,
[6:03] Speaker 2: had blue eyes like crazy, very quiet, and acted kind
[6:07] Speaker 2: of young for his age. The phone call that had
[6:14] Speaker 2: come into police to report a missing child was from
[6:17] Speaker 2: Cheerlea Tomlin. It was Noah that had disappeared. She told
[6:22] Speaker 2: the operator that she had put Noah to bed at
[6:24] Speaker 2: around one a m. The night before, but when she
[6:27] Speaker 2: went awake mid eleven a m. He was gone. She
[6:31] Speaker 2: said that she searched the trailer and vicinity before she
[6:34] Speaker 2: reported him missing. The search for Noah began swiftly, with
[6:39] Speaker 2: detectives immediately focusing their efforts on the family home. It
[6:44] Speaker 2: was the first place they needed to rule out, and
[6:46] Speaker 2: they left no corner unexamined, moving methodically from room to room,
[6:51] Speaker 2: checking closets and under beds. They checked even the smallest
[6:55] Speaker 2: nooks where a frightened child might hide, but as the
[6:58] Speaker 2: minutes ticked by, it became clear that Noah wasn't there.
[7:02] Speaker 2: While the search was ramped up, Julia went to Hampton
[7:05] Speaker 2: Police headquarters voluntarily to speak with Sergeant Curtis Crouch. She
[7:12] Speaker 2: detailed more of their movements in the lad up to
[7:14] Speaker 2: Noah being discovered missing. She said that the day before,
[7:19] Speaker 2: one of her other sons came over to eat some
[7:21] Speaker 2: leftover pizza. The children had been up late eating leftover chocolate.
[7:27] Speaker 2: She said they'd gone to bed. At around one a m.
[7:32] Speaker 2: Noah was in his own bedroom, while three year old
[7:34] Speaker 2: Samuel was in his bedroom along with his six month
[7:37] Speaker 2: old sister Jenne. Julia told Sergeant Crouch that when she
[7:42] Speaker 2: found Noah missing from his bedroom, she noticed that his
[7:45] Speaker 2: blanket was on the floor. She suggested that somebody may
[7:50] Speaker 2: have come into the home during the night and took him.
[7:54] Speaker 2: With a sense of urgency mounting, the detectives expanded their
[7:57] Speaker 2: search beyond the house, fanning out into the nearby neighborhoods.
[8:02] Speaker 2: They moved quickly, knocking on doors, questioning neighbours, and scanning
[8:06] Speaker 2: the streets and alleyways for any sign of the boy.
[8:09] Speaker 2: If he had wandered off, he was only two years
[8:12] Speaker 2: old and he couldn't have made it too far from
[8:14] Speaker 2: the family home. Patrol cars cruised the area, their lights
[8:18] Speaker 2: cutting through the growing twilight. His officers combed to every park, playground,
[8:23] Speaker 2: an empty lot in the vicinity, but still there was
[8:27] Speaker 2: no trace of Nua. The search area broadened further and
[8:32] Speaker 2: attention turned to the surrounding landscape. The family's home wasn't
[8:37] Speaker 2: too far from Buckrobe Beach, a stretch of sand and
[8:40] Speaker 2: surf that bordered Mill Creek and the Hampton River. These
[8:44] Speaker 2: waterways were serene in appearance, but their currents in hidden
[8:47] Speaker 2: depths posed a dangerous threat to a small child. Detectives
[8:53] Speaker 2: called in additional resources. Determined to leave no stone unturned,
[8:58] Speaker 2: a police helicopter was despatched, its searchlight sweeping over the
[9:02] Speaker 2: coastline and tree tops as it hovered above, providing a
[9:06] Speaker 2: bird's eye view of the terrain. Back on the ground,
[9:09] Speaker 2: divers were summoned, along with marine units equipped to handle
[9:12] Speaker 2: the search of the nearby waters. The divers scarred the
[9:16] Speaker 2: depths of Mill Creek and Hampton River, moving through the
[9:20] Speaker 2: murky water, their hands and eyes trained for any sign
[9:23] Speaker 2: of the missing boy. When nothing of interest was found,
[9:28] Speaker 2: they moved to the Salt Ponds area and suspended the
[9:30] Speaker 2: trash collection. The detectives then searched the full trash cans
[9:36] Speaker 2: that lined the streets in the area and asked to
[9:38] Speaker 2: business owners for their permission to search their trash as
[9:41] Speaker 2: well to those in the community. It was a very
[9:45] Speaker 2: ominous addition to the search, and it made many wonder
[9:49] Speaker 2: if they were searching for a body that had been
[9:51] Speaker 2: disposed of in the trash. The community had come out
[9:55] Speaker 2: in their hundreds to assist in this search, with one neighbor,
[9:58] Speaker 2: Bobby Griffin, comment, I've been searching everywhere. It's a little kid,
[10:04] Speaker 2: and I do care. After an unfruitful day of searching,
[10:07] Speaker 2: the FBI got involved along with the Virginia State Police.
[10:13] Speaker 2: Detectives asked anybody in the area to be vigilant and
[10:16] Speaker 2: if they saw something, say something. They further asked that
[10:20] Speaker 2: if anybody had any surveillance cameras in the area to
[10:23] Speaker 2: check them. From one am till eleven AM on the
[10:26] Speaker 2: night that Noah vanished, Police Chief Terry Salt stated in
[10:31] Speaker 2: the media, we're turning over every stone. We're doing everything
[10:35] Speaker 2: we can to bring this child home safely. They added
[10:38] Speaker 2: that they weren't ruling anything out from Noah having just
[10:41] Speaker 2: walked away from the home to fall play, but by
[10:46] Speaker 2: day three of the search, the detective's attention had been
[10:49] Speaker 2: turned to the city's landfill. Chief Salt stated, we did
[10:54] Speaker 2: four search phases in the immediate area of buckwroebe Beach
[10:57] Speaker 2: where Noah was last seen stages the landfill. So from
[11:02] Speaker 2: our previous experience in previous investigations, this is one of
[11:06] Speaker 2: the elements that needs to be explored for a missing
[11:08] Speaker 2: person case. He made it clear that nothing had been
[11:12] Speaker 2: found that led them to the landfill. It was just
[11:14] Speaker 2: a logical place for them to search, given it had
[11:17] Speaker 2: been four days since Noah disappeared. In announcing the new
[11:21] Speaker 2: angle of the search, Chief Saltz said that something suggested
[11:25] Speaker 2: they didn't believe Noah had just wandered off. He had said,
[11:31] Speaker 2: this toddler was not very mobile. He'd take a few steps,
[11:35] Speaker 2: fall down and pick up, take a few steps. He
[11:39] Speaker 2: also added, there's somebody out there that likely knows something.
[11:43] Speaker 2: We need that piece of information to help guide us
[11:46] Speaker 2: as well. It was becoming more and more clear that
[11:50] Speaker 2: detectives were now searching for a body. From the moment
[12:00] Speaker 2: Juliah Tomlin reported Noah missing, detectives felt an uneasy suspicion
[12:04] Speaker 2: gnawing at them. The details she provided were unsettling from
[12:09] Speaker 2: the start. When asked for a recent photograph of Noah,
[12:13] Speaker 2: the only image she could offer was from eight months earlier.
[12:18] Speaker 2: In the photo, Noah was sitting in a car seat,
[12:21] Speaker 2: dressed in a blue Superman costume. It was a picture
[12:25] Speaker 2: of a bright eyed little boy, but the fact that
[12:28] Speaker 2: it was almost a year old raised immediate red flags.
[12:32] Speaker 2: The detectives also knew that Julia was no stranger to
[12:35] Speaker 2: child protective services. She had ten children, ranging in age
[12:40] Speaker 2: from six months old to fifteen years old, but she
[12:43] Speaker 2: only had custody of three of those children, Samuel, Noah
[12:47] Speaker 2: and Schenne. The other seven children had been taken from
[12:50] Speaker 2: her over the years, and for good reason. When her
[12:54] Speaker 2: children were under her care, they were often left to
[12:57] Speaker 2: fend for themselves while Julia was in is of heroine
[13:01] Speaker 2: or methamphetamine and alcohol. The home was a place of
[13:05] Speaker 2: chaos and neglect, a far cry from the nurturing environment
[13:08] Speaker 2: the children needed. The detectives were all too aware of
[13:12] Speaker 2: Julia's troubled history. In twenty ten, she had served five
[13:17] Speaker 2: months in prison after pleading guilty to felony child neglect.
[13:23] Speaker 2: The case was particularly horrific. Julia had severely burned her
[13:27] Speaker 2: one year old daughter by placing her hand on a
[13:29] Speaker 2: cock kitchen stove. It wasn't until days later, when the
[13:34] Speaker 2: burns had transformed into painful red welts and blisters, that
[13:38] Speaker 2: the little girl was finally taken to the hospital. The
[13:41] Speaker 2: burns pattern made it clear that she had been placed
[13:44] Speaker 2: directly onto the stove. When questioned by police. Julia claimed
[13:49] Speaker 2: she had put her daughter on the stove to feed her,
[13:51] Speaker 2: but couldn't remember whether she had turned the stove off.
[13:55] Speaker 2: This incident led to Julia signing away her parental rights.
[14:00] Speaker 2: Every eldest children were placed into foster care and later
[14:02] Speaker 2: adopted by their grandparents. The burned little girl and her
[14:07] Speaker 2: twin sister found a new home with another family, while
[14:10] Speaker 2: three of her boys went to live with their fathers.
[14:14] Speaker 2: Julia's interactions with child protective services were frequent and troubling.

[14:21] Speaker 2: safe environment for her children. Today's episode is sponsored by

[17:06] Speaker 2: past wasn't limited to her failures as a mother. In
[17:10] Speaker 2: two thousand and nine, she had been charged with the
[17:12] Speaker 2: salt and battery of a family member. The incident occurred
[17:16] Speaker 2: after an argument with a man she was in a
[17:18] Speaker 2: relationship with turned physical after the man broke up with her.
[17:22] Speaker 2: The argument escalated and he called police. When they arrived,
[17:27] Speaker 2: they found him with scratches and cuts on his face
[17:30] Speaker 2: and arms, leading to Julia's arrest. However, those charges were
[17:35] Speaker 2: dropped four months later. In two thousand and seventeen, Julia
[17:39] Speaker 2: discovered she was pregnant with Noah. His father was a
[17:43] Speaker 2: man named Justin Jones. He already had two other children
[17:47] Speaker 2: with Julia. By the time she found out about the pregnancy,
[17:51] Speaker 2: their relationship had ended and Justin had moved to California.
[17:56] Speaker 2: Julia chose not to tell him about the baby, and
[17:59] Speaker 2: when he eventually learned that Noah had been born, he
[18:02] Speaker 2: reached out to her. Julia Coley told Justin that Noah
[18:06] Speaker 2: wasn't his and to never contact her again. Julia wasn't
[18:11] Speaker 2: prepared to care for another child, and shortly after Noah
[18:14] Speaker 2: was born, he was placed into foster care. Eventually, however,
[18:20] Speaker 2: he was returned to Julia, along with his two siblings,
[18:23] Speaker 2: Samuel and Chen. Despite her history, the system had given
[18:29] Speaker 2: her another chance, a chance that, as it turned out,
[18:34] Speaker 2: would have tragic consequences. The detectives obtained the search warrant
[18:42] Speaker 2: for Julia's home hoping they could find something to indicate
[18:45] Speaker 2: what had happened to Noah. In one of the bedrooms,
[18:49] Speaker 2: they came across what appeared to be bloodstains on the walls,
[18:53] Speaker 2: on the headboard of a toddler's bed, and a toy chest.
[18:57] Speaker 2: They called in the assistance of forensic experts who am
[19:00] Speaker 2: the home in crime scene tape and began collecting evidence.
[19:05] Speaker 2: In addition to the blood stains, they removed clothing parts
[19:08] Speaker 2: of a car, a bed sheet, and a blanket, all
[19:11] Speaker 2: of which appeared to have blood on it. The bed
[19:15] Speaker 2: sheet had been discovered stuffed about halfway down into the
[19:18] Speaker 2: kitchen trash can. These items were then transported to the
[19:22] Speaker 2: lab to be analyzed. A red polo shirt sized five
[19:28] Speaker 2: tea was found to have blood in six different stains.
[19:32] Speaker 2: The bed sheet was found to have blood in nine
[19:34] Speaker 2: different stains. These blood stains were then compared to Nua's
[19:39] Speaker 2: DNA and it couldn't be eliminated as the source. However,
[19:44] Speaker 2: his siblings were eliminated as the source, leading detectives to
[19:47] Speaker 2: believe the blood had most likely come from Nuah. The
[19:56] Speaker 2: investigation pressed on and detectives were keen to know more
[20:00] Speaker 2: about Julia and Noah's movements up until the day he disappeared.
[20:06] Speaker 2: They spoke with a man named Brad Bailey, who was
[20:08] Speaker 2: the father of one of Julia's sons, three year old Samuel.
[20:13] Speaker 2: He told detectives that on the twenty first of June,
[20:16] Speaker 2: he had received about ten phone calls from Julia asking
[20:20] Speaker 2: him to get her heroin. Brad secured the drug and
[20:24] Speaker 2: took it over to Julia's home the next day. When
[20:28] Speaker 2: he got there, he said he had seen Noah in
[20:30] Speaker 2: the living room with his two siblings. Julia told him
[20:35] Speaker 2: that her health was bad, her liver was failing, and
[20:37] Speaker 2: she needed the heroine to clean up before a visit
[20:40] Speaker 2: from Child Protective Services. He said, a bunch of bill crap,
[20:45] Speaker 2: if you ask me. Detectives also spoke with a man
[20:49] Speaker 2: named Brian Nou. While DNA had since proved that Justin
[20:54] Speaker 2: was the father of Noah, Julia had been sleeping with
[20:57] Speaker 2: Brian at the time of Noah's conception. They had dated
[21:02] Speaker 2: from twenty thirteen until twenty and sixteen, but had become
[21:06] Speaker 2: reacquainted in April. There had been some speculation that Brian
[21:11] Speaker 2: might have been Noah's father, and he went over that
[21:14] Speaker 2: day to have his daughter meet Noah. He knocked on
[21:18] Speaker 2: the front door, but Julia refused to let him in.
[21:22] Speaker 2: She said that Noah was fast asleep, but Brian really
[21:26] Speaker 2: wanted to see the boy he believed could be his son.
[21:30] Speaker 2: He asked if he could just have a peep in
[21:31] Speaker 2: Noah's bedroom without waking him, but Julia refused. While Noah
[21:37] Speaker 2: was allegedly in bed, Brian saw that his two siblings
[21:40] Speaker 2: were awake. Detectives believed more than ever that Noah was
[21:45] Speaker 2: most likely dead at this point, having been killed by
[21:48] Speaker 2: his mother. On the twenty eighth of June, Julia Tomlin
[21:57] Speaker 2: was arrested on three counts of felling child neglect. She
[22:02] Speaker 2: was accused of neglecting Noah, Samuel, and Cheyenne. The charges
[22:07] Speaker 2: stemmed from a race and interviewed Julia had with the detectives.
[22:12] Speaker 2: She said that after Brad had dropped the heroin over,
[22:14] Speaker 2: she took it. She said that sometime later she found
[22:19] Speaker 2: that Noah had soiled his diaper and needed a bath.
[22:23] Speaker 2: She then claimed that Noah had drowned in the bath
[22:25] Speaker 2: and struck his head. Julia said that she gave him
[22:29] Speaker 2: CPR before she moved him into a bedroom where she
[22:33] Speaker 2: realized that he was dead. She said she packaged Noah
[22:37] Speaker 2: into an empty diaper box and wrapped it in trash bags.
[22:42] Speaker 2: When Brian and his daughter arrived later that night, Noah
[22:46] Speaker 2: was dead in the bedroom. Julia said she then called
[22:50] Speaker 2: her friend Timothy Parker to throw the package away. However,
[22:55] Speaker 2: she said that Timothy had no idea the package contained
[22:58] Speaker 2: the body of her son. When detectives spoke with Timothy,
[23:02] Speaker 2: he said he threw the package in the dumpster, but
[23:06] Speaker 2: just as soon as Julia made the confession, she recanted it.
[23:11] Speaker 2: She said that Noah was actually alive and she had
[23:14] Speaker 2: given a false statement to prove a point, but detectives
[23:18] Speaker 2: knew that Timothy had indeed been over to Julia's home
[23:21] Speaker 2: that night, and he had indeed been asked to dispose
[23:24] Speaker 2: of a package. In announcing the arrest, during a press conference,
[23:29] Speaker 2: Chief Salt admitted they believe that Noah was dead. As
[23:33] Speaker 2: Julia spent her first night behind bars, the community came
[23:37] Speaker 2: together for a candlelight vigil. It had been arranged by
[23:41] Speaker 2: a woman named Lydia White, a woman who had never
[23:44] Speaker 2: met Noah but had been heartbroken by his story. Over
[23:48] Speaker 2: one hundred people huddled together clutching tightly to the candles
[23:52] Speaker 2: that flickered under the breeze, Lydia said to them, I
[23:56] Speaker 2: hope that for the first time since this has happened,
[23:59] Speaker 2: we can only have something for positivity and only Noah,
[24:03] Speaker 2: nobody else. For the first time, the woman who had
[24:07] Speaker 2: fostered Noah spoke publicly. She spoke about the first day
[24:12] Speaker 2: she met him, telling the crowd, bless his little heart.
[24:16] Speaker 2: Those blue eyes. You couldn't tell him no. And although
[24:20] Speaker 2: I called him, no, no, that's all he said was
[24:23] Speaker 2: no no. He got up on the couch and he
[24:25] Speaker 2: held my hand as if to say I'm safe. Many
[24:30] Speaker 2: of those in attendance wore green or broad green balloons.
[24:34] Speaker 2: It was the same color Noah was reportedly wearing when
[24:37] Speaker 2: he disappeared. Others wore T shirts with the phrases wears
[24:42] Speaker 2: Noah and Justice for Noah emblazoned on the front. On
[24:51] Speaker 2: the second of July, Julia appeared in court for her arraignment.
[24:55] Speaker 2: She asked for a court appointed attorney and told the
[24:58] Speaker 2: judge she was disabled and lived on a disability payment
[25:01] Speaker 2: of little more than seven hundred dollars per month. She
[25:05] Speaker 2: was appointed a defense attorney from the Hampton Public Defender's Office,
[25:09] Speaker 2: and her preliminary hearing was scheduled for the twenty ninth
[25:11] Speaker 2: of July. She was also ordered to be held without bond.
[25:17] Speaker 2: The search for Noah pressed on with an intensity that
[25:19] Speaker 2: mirrored the growing desperation of the detectives involved. After scoring
[25:24] Speaker 2: the local landfill with no luck, the investigation turned to
[25:28] Speaker 2: the Hampton steam Plant, a facility that burns trash to
[25:31] Speaker 2: generate par for NASA Langley. Located about nine miles from
[25:35] Speaker 2: Noah's home. This new search site presented its own set
[25:39] Speaker 2: of challenges, as more than two million pounds of trash
[25:43] Speaker 2: were piled across the premises. This task is grilling beyond belief,
[25:48] Speaker 2: said police spokesman Reginald Williams. He explained the City of
[25:55] Speaker 2: Hampton dumps its waist into two locations, the landfill in
[25:58] Speaker 2: the steam plant. The volume we're dealing with is unimaginable.
[26:03] Speaker 2: As if the mountain of trash wasn't enough, the detectives
[26:06] Speaker 2: had to contend with the pressive weather and the hazard environment,
[26:10] Speaker 2: where gases from the decaying waste needed to be constantly monitored.
[26:15] Speaker 2: The work was painstaking and slow. Crews used excavators to
[26:20] Speaker 2: lift massive piles of rubbish from one section to another,
[26:24] Speaker 2: and then with gloved hands, they sifted through each load,
[26:28] Speaker 2: hoping to find any trace of the missing boy. The
[26:31] Speaker 2: limited daylight ours restricted their search to the daytime, adding
[26:35] Speaker 2: to the mounting pressure to find Noah before it was
[26:38] Speaker 2: too late. On the morning of the third of July,
[26:41] Speaker 2: at eight fifty a m. The detectives were coming through
[26:44] Speaker 2: a particularly daunting pile of trash that had accumulated in
[26:49] Speaker 2: the incinerator. The methodical process continued. Each bag was carefully
[26:55] Speaker 2: handed to the sergeant, who would then slice it open
[26:58] Speaker 2: with a box cutter, revealing its contents. Detective Gerard Washington
[27:04] Speaker 2: picked up a bag that emitted a particularly pungent odor,
[27:08] Speaker 2: exacerbated by the summer heat. As he passed the bag
[27:12] Speaker 2: to the sergeant, the stench intensified. The sergeant toward the
[27:18] Speaker 2: bag open, releasing a wave of foil air that immediately
[27:22] Speaker 2: overwhelmed the group. Detective Washington later recalled, when the bag opened,
[27:30] Speaker 2: I heard something inside that sounded like a hollow object
[27:33] Speaker 2: clinking inside the bag was the badly decomposed remains of Noah.
[27:42] Speaker 2: The sidon overpowering smell forced Washington to flee the incinerator,
[27:46] Speaker 2: gasping for fresh air as the grim reality of the
[27:49] Speaker 2: discovery set in. Noah's body was in such an advanced
[27:54] Speaker 2: state of decomposition that there were very few distinguishable features.
[28:03] Speaker 2: The tactics provided and update to the public.
[28:06] Speaker 3: Information gained through the investigation helped focus the search efforts. Conservatively,
[28:13] Speaker 3: we've spent over ten thousand man hours on this process.
[28:18] Speaker 3: We have been through one thousand tons, and let me
[28:21] Speaker 3: put that in perspective, that's two million pounds of garbage
[28:25] Speaker 3: and search that by hand. The priority all along has
[28:30] Speaker 3: been to find Noah. It's with very mixed emotions that
[28:36] Speaker 3: we report today that goal has been accomplished. At eight
[28:40] Speaker 3: fifty am this morning, a search team located the remains
[28:44] Speaker 3: of a child we believe to be Noah Tomlin. Investigators,
[28:48] Speaker 3: forensic technicians, and the Medical Examiner's Office are currently processing
[28:52] Speaker 3: the scene for formal confirmation and identification.
[28:58] Speaker 2: The body was transferred to the Medical Examiner's Office, where
[29:02] Speaker 2: DNA confirmed that the body was indeed Nuah. Because of
[29:06] Speaker 2: the condition of his body, however, the autopsy was going
[29:10] Speaker 2: to take a lot longer than normal to perform. The
[29:13] Speaker 2: news that Knuah's body had been found broke the heart
[29:16] Speaker 2: of the community. Many people had come together to search
[29:20] Speaker 2: for Nua, and the outcome wasn't the one they had
[29:23] Speaker 2: hoped for. One neighbor, who didn't want to be identified,
[29:26] Speaker 2: said to CBS, I'm sad because they found him dead,
[29:31] Speaker 2: but I'm angry. Another neighbor, Lewis Huffman, commented, he deserved
[29:37] Speaker 2: to have a childhood and play and be happy, and
[29:39] Speaker 2: he was robbed of that. It's heartbreaking that a child
[29:43] Speaker 2: has to live like that and die like that. Every
[29:46] Speaker 2: child deserves to be loved. My fiance and I are
[29:52] Speaker 2: beg on traveling, but between all the suitcases, carry on

[32:23] Speaker 2: Cindy Jones, spoke publicly about what had happened. She posted
[32:27] Speaker 2: on Facebook that Shane, Noah's father, who was her son,
[32:31] Speaker 2: had remained silent because of Noah's siblings, three of them
[32:35] Speaker 2: were in her custody after she adopted them in twenty eleven,
[32:41] Speaker 2: they were old enough to read what was being said
[32:43] Speaker 2: in the newspapers and social media, and that the family
[32:46] Speaker 2: thought it was best for them to remain silent while
[32:48] Speaker 2: the search for Noah was ongoing. Cindy then added it
[32:54] Speaker 2: was archery, belief and hope beyond hope that Noah would
[32:56] Speaker 2: be returned home safely, and that his disappearance was nothing
[32:59] Speaker 2: more than a sickening prank that had gone awry. We
[33:03] Speaker 2: sincerely thought that Julia had arranged to have someone hide
[33:05] Speaker 2: Noah as a means of upsetting Noah's father and getting
[33:09] Speaker 2: back at him for changing his plans of going to
[33:11] Speaker 2: her house. The morning of his return. She revealed that
[33:15] Speaker 2: on the twenty second of June, Noah's father, Justin, had
[33:18] Speaker 2: returned from California to Virginia, and he was expected to
[33:22] Speaker 2: visit Julia first. After Noah was born, Justin's parents informed
[33:27] Speaker 2: him that he looked just like him, and Justin had
[33:30] Speaker 2: wanted to meet him to see for himself. However, Justin
[33:35] Speaker 2: decided instead to stop by his parents' home to see
[33:38] Speaker 2: them and his three eldest children. Because of the family conflict,
[33:43] Speaker 2: Noah's grandparents didn't actually get to know him. They had
[33:46] Speaker 2: only met him once, but his grandfather commented in the
[33:50] Speaker 2: media that in the lead up to Noah's disappearance, Julia
[33:54] Speaker 2: had seemed to get herself back on track. There had
[33:58] Speaker 2: been plans for them to visit Noah again. His grandfather,
[34:02] Speaker 2: Vincent recalled, I was shocked and didn't want to believe
[34:06] Speaker 2: she did anything wrong, But the more we were looking
[34:09] Speaker 2: at it, the more I knew she was involved. An
[34:12] Speaker 2: innocent life was taken so soon. Cindy added, it's been
[34:18] Speaker 2: very hard. I wish I could have known him the
[34:20] Speaker 2: way I know my other grandchildren. But we will know
[34:23] Speaker 2: each other someday. Among the siblings who lived with Cindy
[34:27] Speaker 2: and Vincent was Leanna, who said, I just think of
[34:31] Speaker 2: the positive parts of the situation, like Noah's no longer suffering.
[34:36] Speaker 2: I believe he's in a better place. The family criticized
[34:40] Speaker 2: Child Protective Services and called for stronger child welfare laws
[34:44] Speaker 2: to prevent another child from suffering the same fate as Noah.
[34:49] Speaker 2: At the time, it had been estimated that twenty five
[34:51] Speaker 2: to thirty percent of children who die from abuse were
[34:54] Speaker 2: already known to social services. No had tragically become one
[34:59] Speaker 2: of those satistics. Federal policies have focused on keeping families together,
[35:06] Speaker 2: which led to Noah being returned to his mother. The
[35:11] Speaker 2: latest expression of this approach, the Family First Policy, ties
[35:15] Speaker 2: state reimbursements to efforts that prioritize family preservation, even in
[35:20] Speaker 2: dysfunctional situations. Critics argue that this misguided policy increases the
[35:26] Speaker 2: risk of child mal treatment. Historically, child welfare services focused
[35:32] Speaker 2: on the best interests of the child rather than maintaining
[35:35] Speaker 2: family unity at all costs. When details of Julia's troubled
[35:41] Speaker 2: past and her children's mistreatment became public, there was an outcry.
[35:47] Speaker 2: The public demanded answers about how Noah was allowed to
[35:49] Speaker 2: fall through the cracks and meet such a tragic end.
[36:00] Speaker 2: On the twenty eighth of October, Julia Tomlin was finally
[36:03] Speaker 2: charged with the second degree murder of Noah, as well
[36:06] Speaker 2: as unlawful disposal of a body and child abuse. His
[36:10] Speaker 2: autopsy had finally been completed and it was determined that
[36:14] Speaker 2: he had died of blunt force trauma to the head
[36:16] Speaker 2: and battered child syndrome. No had sustained multiple fractures, including
[36:21] Speaker 2: to his skull, two of which were severe and had
[36:24] Speaker 2: caused death. The pathologist likened his injuries to somebody who
[36:29] Speaker 2: had fallen from several stories. No also had old injuries
[36:34] Speaker 2: that were in various stages of healing. There were jaw
[36:39] Speaker 2: fractures and hip fractures, as well as bruising to the
[36:42] Speaker 2: ribs and left leg Commonwealth attorney and Tom Bell stated, well, the.
[36:47] Speaker 1: Medical zemer there was also evidence of chronic battering with
[36:52] Speaker 1: extensive healing jaw fractures and great healing posterior rib fractures.
[37:00] Speaker 1: There were injuries to the jaw that had begun to heal.
[37:05] Speaker 1: There were injuries to the ribs that had begun to
[37:09] Speaker 1: heal as well. None of those things were the soul
[37:15] Speaker 1: cause of death. However, there were contributing factors in the
[37:20] Speaker 1: death of Nataman, to say the least, the nature of
[37:26] Speaker 1: the abuse was such a nature that clusters of Harris
[37:32] Speaker 1: lines in each disti, tibia, and radius were discovered. Now,
[37:37] Speaker 1: in plain language or layman terms, these are the type
[37:41] Speaker 1: of injuries that you will find that would literally stop
[37:44] Speaker 1: the growth of bones due to either some severe disease
[37:50] Speaker 1: such as cancer or some type of abuse, or even
[37:55] Speaker 1: severe malnutrition. So his abuse was of such a nature
[38:02] Speaker 1: that literally his bones stopped grown.
[38:07] Speaker 2: He then added, well.
[38:09] Speaker 1: I have been prosecuting for more than twenty plus years,
[38:13] Speaker 1: and I've seen some very graphic things. I've seen some
[38:19] Speaker 1: very horrific crime scenes, and I've even actually gone to
[38:24] Speaker 1: a autopsyne being performed, and nothing really kind of grabs.
[38:30] Speaker 1: You like seeing a child or a toddler being a
[38:34] Speaker 1: victim of a crime, particularly something as horrific as this
[38:40] Speaker 1: particular crime. There is no question in my mind, based
[38:44] Speaker 1: on the evidence, this child is torture.
[38:48] Speaker 2: Bell further said it wasn't his place to say whether
[38:51] Speaker 2: Noah was failed by child protective services, but said that
[38:54] Speaker 2: it was clear that Julie was in no position to
[38:57] Speaker 2: care for any child was in such an advanced state
[39:01] Speaker 2: of decomposition when he was found that only his liver
[39:04] Speaker 2: was recognizable. An anthropologist had needed to be brought in
[39:09] Speaker 2: to piece together the fragments of Boones. After the murder
[39:14] Speaker 2: charge was filed down, a judge ruled that there was
[39:17] Speaker 2: enough evidence against Julia for her to stand trial for
[39:20] Speaker 2: the murder of her son. The judge scheduled her trial
[39:23] Speaker 2: for March the next year, and her defense attorney ALTHEA.
[39:27] Speaker 2: Mace announced they were wanting a bench trial. This meant
[39:31] Speaker 2: that just a judge would hear the evidence and then
[39:33] Speaker 2: serve as both the judge and the jury. The prosecution,
[39:38] Speaker 2: on the other hand, wanted a regular jury trial, and
[39:41] Speaker 2: it was announced that a jury trial would be taking
[39:43] Speaker 2: place in March. However, it was announced that the trial
[39:47] Speaker 2: had been put on hold while Julia underwent a competency evaluation.
[39:53] Speaker 2: In July, she was ruled fit to stand trial, and
[39:56] Speaker 2: it was rescheduled for April of twenty twenty one, over
[39:59] Speaker 2: a year later than the original trial date, but then
[40:04] Speaker 2: the following year, the trial date was pushed back once
[40:06] Speaker 2: more to January twenty and twenty two. Julia Tomlin appeared
[40:11] Speaker 2: in court on the thirteenth of December two thousand and
[40:13] Speaker 2: twenty one, where she instead pleaded guilty to second degree murder,
[40:18] Speaker 2: felt any child neglect, and concealing a dead body. The
[40:23] Speaker 2: prosecution announced that they wouldn't be proceeding with several other
[40:26] Speaker 2: child neglect charges against her. Attorney Bell stressed it wasn't
[40:31] Speaker 2: because of a play agreement, but instead because of a
[40:35] Speaker 2: lack of case law. Despite the fact that Julia had
[40:39] Speaker 2: pleaded guilty, her sister in law, Teresa came to her defense.
[40:46] Speaker 2: Noah had sustained numerous injuries, some old and new, and
[40:50] Speaker 2: she suggested that these were caused by himself. She said
[40:54] Speaker 2: that because he was autistic, he often threw himself onto
[40:58] Speaker 2: the furniture. She said every time he went to bed,
[41:04] Speaker 2: he would hit his head and part of himself on
[41:06] Speaker 2: the crib. She then added, maybe some people are just afraid.
[41:12] Speaker 2: She's so terrified because the whole nation is after her.
[41:16] Speaker 2: It was her belief that Julia was innocent and that
[41:19] Speaker 2: she had passed out from heroin use and didn't wake
[41:21] Speaker 2: up in time to say of Noah after he fell
[41:24] Speaker 2: from his crib. After the guilty place, some of Noah's
[41:29] Speaker 2: family spoke with the media. His grandfather, Vincent said to
[41:33] Speaker 2: thirteen News.
[41:35] Speaker 1: Justice he can never come back.
[41:37] Speaker 3: Justice would be if he was alive, but since that
[41:42] Speaker 3: can't happen, I guess this is the best we got.
[41:46] Speaker 2: Attorney Bell announced that they would be seeking the maximum sentence,
[41:49] Speaker 2: which would be fifty five years for all of the charges.
[41:54] Speaker 2: When he was asked by reporters about Noah's injuries, he
[41:57] Speaker 2: bluntly responded, imagine a baby with no arms, no limbs,
[42:03] Speaker 2: and only a few strands of hair from his head.
[42:08] Speaker 2: Julia Tomlin returned to court on the twenty sixth of July,
[42:11] Speaker 2: where victim impact statements were presented. Her eldest daughter, a
[42:17] Speaker 2: nineteen year old girl who asked to not be named,
[42:20] Speaker 2: cried as she testified about the abuse and neglect she
[42:23] Speaker 2: and her siblings had endured. She said that when she
[42:27] Speaker 2: was six years old, she was often left to care
[42:30] Speaker 2: for her two younger siblings. She tearfully said, my mother,
[42:36] Speaker 2: Julia Tomlin, has never been fit to be a parent.
[42:39] Speaker 2: She's only cared for herself and has never prioritized the
[42:42] Speaker 2: needs of any of her children, even when she claimed
[42:45] Speaker 2: to be doing so. All of her children have been
[42:48] Speaker 2: removed from her care and should never have been returned
[42:51] Speaker 2: to her care. She said that Noah received the very
[42:55] Speaker 2: worst and in the two short years he lived, he
[42:59] Speaker 2: had witnessed pure hate and cruelty from the woman who
[43:02] Speaker 2: was supposed to care for him. The defense team were
[43:06] Speaker 2: hoping for leniency, but they didn't call any witnesses. Defense
[43:11] Speaker 2: attorney Tyrone Johnson did ask the judge to consider the
[43:14] Speaker 2: mental and physical abuse that Julia had endured. He said
[43:19] Speaker 2: that she had been abused by her parents and then
[43:22] Speaker 2: later by a boyfriend she had begun dating as a teenager.
[43:27] Speaker 2: Chief Judge Michael Gayton then addressed Julia, telling her life
[43:32] Speaker 2: is the most precious thing we have. Every life has worth,
[43:36] Speaker 2: dignity and value. He then handed Julia Tomlin the harshest
[43:42] Speaker 2: sentence possible fifty five years in prison. The judge said
[43:47] Speaker 2: he couldn't live with himself if he had of sentenced
[43:50] Speaker 2: herd any less. He further said that the sentence needed
[43:55] Speaker 2: to speak to the value of Noah's life and should
