Just as the title says.

Noah Donohoe disappeared coming home from school, his body was found in a storm drain without his clothes.

His mother can not get answers on why the police decided, immediately that there was no four play and us being blocked from seeing 4 files by the police.

She says On the day Noah was found, before Noah was formally identified, the Police did a media release stating that there was ‘No Foul Play’ involved.I ask, if the police are so sure that ‘No Foul Play’ was involved, why are the police now trying to stop me, as Noah’s mummy, getting four files of information on Noah’s investigation?

Surely I am not unreasonable to think this isn't ok and that most of use would want to know what had happened to our child?

This is an overview of what has happened so far.

And another bump...

Well done Q radio. One of the few to consistently give Noah a voice for 96 weeks

If you have not watched it, or for newcomers to the thread, here is Noah's mummy Fiona's podcast. It is, of course, a tough watch - TW - but gives the best understanding of the situation and why this mother needs your support. The interview begins at about 3:21. If you can, please give it the time it deserves and watch until the end.

Terrible situation - I have nothing constructive to say, but just want to offer support to Niamh and Fiona, and all Noah's family. I hope you will get some answers somehow.

TheRealMrsMac · 25/04/2022 11:32

Front page news. Let's hope it continues, even if, especially if, it makes you wonder why someone can't bear to be reminded of Noah's beautiful face, and especially in those locations.

it is hard to fathom the depths that some people go to. The disrespect and disdain for a family searching for answers to how and why a much loved 14 year old son, nephew, cousin, grandson and friend died is incomprehensible to the majority of people in NI and around the world. The lack of press interest is questionable.

Bumping for Noah.

I'll bump too

AnneMJAH · 26/04/2022 22:37

Very hard to understand why the police and coroner are intent on pursuing a PII certificate since they repeatedly inform us that no-one hurt Noah

Jamboree01 · 26/04/2022 23:14

Exactly. Coroner, Joe McCrisken, and attorney general NI, Brenda King, also went to high court in an attempt to prevent channel four news airing their report about Noah last year. Thankfully, they didn’t succeed in their attempts.

I had not seen that Channel 4 report so appreciate you posting it - it really brings it home.
I still do not understand why water samples were not taken.
That, and Noah not looking as one might, had one been in a storm drain for several days, is enough for anyone to question events.
