In July of 2019, Julia Tomlin reported her two-year-old son, Noah, as missing. Julia's life was a constant struggle to make ends meet. Unemployed and grappling with her mental health conditions, she relied on disability checks as her primary source of income.
Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, attention deficit disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder, Julia's daily life was said to be a battle against her circumstances. The family also depended on various forms of government assistance to survive.
Food stamps, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid were lifelines that kept them afloat.
Despite these supports, life in the trailer park was far from easy, and Julia often found herself overwhelmed by the demands of raising three young children on her own. Of her three children, Julia seemed to have a particular concern for Noah.
She believed he might have autism, though no formal diagnosis had been made.
Noah exhibited behaviours that apparently worried herβhe frequently rocked back and forth to soothe himself, sometimes banging his head in distress. He had been a late walker, and his speech development was slow, leaving him often silent or babbling words that were difficult to understand.
But after Noah was reported missing, detectives learned some very disturbing truths about Julia, and their suspicions were quickly heightened....
