FLORIDA — A Florida Missing Child Alert has been issued for an infant boy, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

FDLE identified the child as Noah Chester. The alert lists his age at disappearance as 1 month. He is described as a white male with black hair and brown eyes.

The FDLE flyer lists the child’s height as 0'21" and weight as 006.

The alert is statewide. For South Florida residents, it means the information is being pushed broadly and quickly, and people who travel, work in transportation, or interact with the public may be in a position to spot something relevant and pass it to law enforcement.

FDLE is the agency issuing the alert. The investigative and response responsibility, based on the contact information provided, sits with the Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office at 850-745-7100 or call 911.

Residents should watch for official updates from FDLE and law enforcement, and report tips directly to authorities rather than posting unverified information online. The official FDLE flyer is posted at http://www.fdle.state.fl.us/MCICSearch/Flyer.asp?ID=512262.
