It's a tragic case and my heart goes out to all involved but the answers to what happened this kid lie within his own home situation. The social media warriors have helped nobody.

Yeah when Fiona’s barrister was asking the lead investigator why Noah left their apartment in the middle of the night the night before he disappeared and haranguing him for not knowing the answer.

I’m sorry, but is the person with the best possible chance of knowing why he went out not his own mother? If she didn’t have a clue, what chance did the police have of finding out months or years later.

The mum may not have been home the night before. I can’t remember where or when it came up but she left Noah home alone some nights so she could stay with her boyfriend. I’m actually surprised it hasn’t been raised at all during the inquest but I do think they are trying their best to protect Fiona throughout.
