PEARISBURG â Two-year-old Noah Gabriel Trout seemed lost â snatched from the nursery of a Ripplemead church â then a day later was found, the Giles County Sheriffâs Office announced Monday.
The happy outcome of the search for the toddler, who Virginia State Police said Sunday was thought to be in extreme danger, came after an array of local, state and federal agencies joined forces. Investigators identified a possible suspect and officers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Virginia State Police swooped in on an Alleghany County location to recover Noah and arrest a Clifton Forge woman, Sheriff Morgan Millirons said.
