Six-year-old Noah Beall, who was reported missing, has been found safe. The Louisiana State Police's Facebook page confirmed that the advisory issued on behalf of the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office has been canceled.
Authorities reported that Noah disappeared on Saturday night, after his father, Joshua Beall, allegedly took him following an assault on Noah’s mother at her home on Highway 438 in Franklinton. The Louisiana State Police received a request to issue a Level II Endangered/Missing Child Advisory yesterday at 8:43 a.m.
Noah was described as a white male with blonde hair and blue eyes, about 3 feet 6 inches tall and 50 pounds. Joshua Beall, 45, was described as a white male with brown hair and eyes, standing 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing about 125 pounds. They were believed to be traveling in a 2000 gold Ford Ranger with Louisiana license plate Y464010.
The Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office had asked the public for assistance in locating Noah and his father, urging anyone with information to contact their office or call 911.
While Noah has been found safe, authorities have not yet released details about how he was located. The investigation into the circumstances of his disappearance and Joshua Beall’s alleged involvement remains ongoing.
