Summary

Last June, Julia Tomlin reported her 2-year-old son, Noah, missing, saying when she awoke around 11:30 in the morning on June 24, he was gone from the family’s mobile home in Hampton, Virginia. Investigators launched a massive search that spanned ten days, caught the attention of the national media, and involved several law enforcement agencies as well as concerned citizens. As the days passed, Julia’s story began to unravel, and she was charged with murder after admitting that Noah was dead, his body disposed of like trash. Days later, Noah’s partial remains were found in the city landfill. What little was found of the tiny boy told a tragic story of long-term neglect and abuse.
The more was learned about Julia’s life, the more obvious it became that she should never have had custody of the three children in her care at the time of Noah’s murder. Despite extensive CPS involvement with the family, a prior prison sentence for child neglect, endless documentation of her drug and alcohol abuse, and several other red flags, Julia was indeed granted custody of the three youngest of her ten children, only for one of them to end up dead.
This is the gut-wrenching story of Noah Tomlin.

0:00.0	Oh, he's cute. Mr. I can never sleep when I'm traveling. He's hugging his pillow like a sloth on a branch.
0:10.0	He couldn't sleep before. Now listen to him. Sounds like an elephant with a chest infection.
0:15.0	Well, they call him a dreamer. And now they're right.
0:19.0	All aboard, Mr. I can never sleep when I'm travelling. Find all the comfort you need in the
0:25.1	quiet lounge. Pieno Ferries, there is another way.
0:28.9	This podcast contains descriptions of violence against children and adult language and is not intended for all audiences.
0:37.0	Listen or discretion is advised.
0:39.0	Hi guys and welcome to suffer the little children.
0:42.0	The True Crime Podcast, giving voices
0:44.3	back to the victims of child abuse and shining a harsh spotlight on the parents,
0:48.4	guardians and caretakers who silenced them. I'm your host Lane, and this is episode 10, Noah Tomlin.
0:56.4	It has always enraged me when a parent reports their child missing only to be arrested and
1:00.8	charged in the child's murder.
1:03.1	It takes away some of the credibility of parents whose children have actually gone missing
1:06.9	without their assistance.
1:08.8	The most egregious case that comes to mind, of course, is that of Cayley Anthony in 2008. I don't even want to get
1:15.0	started on that case though because I might never stop raging about her mother's
1:18.5	acquittal. The recent case of Evelyn Boswell is another one.
1:23.6	And of course, little A.J. friend, the subject of my first post on suffer the little children
1:28.3	blog.com, as well as my first episode of this podcast, was reported missing by his parents just days before
1:34.3	his father led police to his little body. It's a common tactic used by parents who
1:38.9	intentionally or otherwise caused the death of a child and sadly too many of them get away with it.
