Investigators, plumber spotted at missing boy's Corona home after parents charged
CORONA, Calif. (FOX 11) - A plumber was spotted Monday night with investigators at the home of a missing 8-year-old Corona boy, who hasn't been seen for weeks.
A RAM Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning truck was parked outside the home, which specializes in high-tech inspections of underground piping and air conditioning ducts.
It was unclear what investigators and the plumber were searching for, but authorities were seen leaving with boxes of evidence.
Noah McIntosh, 8, was last seen around the end of February in the 4600 block of Temescal Canyon Road, according to police.
His parents, Bryce McIntosh and Jillian Godfrey, were each arrested on suspicion of child abuse and later charged by the Riverside County District Attorney's Office with willful child cruelty.
McIntosh is being held on $1 million bail while Godfrey's bail is $500,000.

Authorities began to investigate Noah's disappearance on March 12, after his mother expressed concerns over his whereabouts.
Officers attempted to contact Noah's father at a local apartment. Bryce McIntosh did not respond to several contact attempts by officers, authorities said. The next morning, officers served a search warrant at his home in an attempt to locate the missing boy.
Authorities said McIntosh was found inside with his 11-year-old daughter, but officers did not find Noah.
Officers contacted Noah's local family members, but no one can provide Noah's current location.
The Corona Police Department has partnered with county, state and federal law enforcement agencies in the search for the missing boy.
The police department is asking any community member that may have seen Noah, McIntosh, or Godfrey between February 20 and March 12 to contact Senior Detective Mario Hernandez at 951-279-3659 or Mario.Hernandez@CoronaCA.gov.
