Authorities previously welcomed the help of hundreds of volunteers to search for the boy. For a brief time, officials reported six of those volunteers had also gone missing, though WMC-TV reports they were waiting for help after one of them was injured. 

As of Sunday morning, the Chester County Sheriff's Department said only certified law enforcement officers were allowed to continue the search.

Chester County Sheriff Blair Weaver told WBBJ: "We're 100 percent it's a search and rescue mission. We have total faith we're going to find Noah and bring him home safe."
