Noah was on his black Apollo mountain bike, fully dressed, wearing a helmet and carrying a backpack containing his laptop and 2 books with his name on them. He also had his mobile phone with him.
On the 27th of June. Noah's naked body was sadly discovered 950m inside a storm drain, between access points. This storm drain was accessible through an area completely unfamiliar to him, behind houses at Northwood Road.
"Noah's body was found by specially trained police officers between two drain access points within a section of the tunnel running under the Translink access road," said Mr McCrisken."

Noah's bike was also found near a house, behind a car, in the same area. It had been there for more than 24 hours before a member of public who lived in the street said she read reports of a missing child and checked the bike and phoned the police.

Members of the public are confused as there were conflicting reports that Noah's belongings were said to be picked up on 2 separate days. Noah went missing on Sunday.

Some of Noah's clothes were found in the same street, where the last known cctv sighting of the teenager was seen, on Northwood Road. Among them, his helmet, hoodie and shoes. His jacket, underwear, shorts and t-shirt are still missing
A white van was searched in the area of the time of Noah's disappearance & sniffer dogs were brought in. There has never been any updates on this as far as the public are aware.
"There were also reports on Saturday in north Belfast that PSNI officers had sealed off a white van, which will be forensically examined as part of the investigation into Donahoe’s death."

Noah's laptop was taken by police from a man named Daryl Paul. This man did not hand in his laptop voluntarily. Noah's laptop was seized in a South Belfast hostel after Mr Paul instructed the police he had left it with a friend to mind. https://t.co/9A0Jddf2ke
It was reported that Mr Paul was a number of miles away from Ulster University (The Art College) at the time Noah's backpack was left there and he found it some time later. https://t.co/pdej1JxbB4
Centenary House is 0.5 miles away
"Recovering heroin addict Daryl Paul was sentenced to three months' ... Paul said: "I walked from Centenary House (a Salvation Army hostel) " https://t.co/0d77z1NmpU
Daryl Paul had tried selling Noah's laptop. An anonymous tip off told police he had Noah's backpack, it along with books, laptop and Noah's jacket (as mentioned in this article) https://t.co/tZxN4yehQC
Daryl Paul has stated he found Noah's backpack beside a wall under a pedestrian underpass on the grounds of Ulster University on the day Noah went missing. Article found in
@BelTel
Daryl Paul also claims another man was there that day and described him as acting suspicious near Noah's backpack. The man is described as having tattoos. Mr Paul states he told the police about this man on the day of his arrest. Article from
@BelTel
There are many cameras in and around the Ulster University area.
Noah's mobile phone was found in North Queen Street beside a children's play park.
At first it was put out by some news media, that Noah phoned 999 emergency services from his phone, but the police said this was "inaccurate"
https://t.co/DdjhIQhC3P
One of the last CCTV videos, show 14 year old Noah on York Road, fully dressed. The following videos show Noah naked on Northwood Road running and exhausted.
https://t.co/3xddfKIcOi
No cctv or eyewitnesses actually seen Noah removing his clothing between Skegoneill, Northwood Crescent and Northwood Road.
There was cctv footage handed in by a member of public who lived on Northwood Road of Noah cycling past her home naked, from the waist up https://t.co/NpXUrCe9En
There is also cctv footage of 14 year old Noah naked and running, exhausted between 2 houses at the top of Northwood Road. This was the final known sighting of young Noah. His Mother Fiona has seen this video

https://t.co/Rm1FOmZqcQ
At first, because a member of public had said she seen someone fitting the description of Noah fall of his bike (in North Queen Street/York Street junction), the police suggested that perhaps Noah may have suffered a concussion. https://t.co/LhAO1A3kLE
That this led him to become confused and take his clothes off. The coroner's report said that Noah had died of drowning. There was no mention of a concussion.
https://t.co/mcCOmcv2ke
Noah's Mother Fiona has seen cctv videos. She saw only brief moments of Noah's journey caught on camera, but has not yet seen the moments or hours before or after the videos were recorded. She has requested to see them in their entirety.

https://t.co/Zwk6V3mtnE
The last videos caught on cctv have caused a lot of confusion. As at first the police said Noah's last sighting was at 6:11pm, naked between 2 houses. They then changed the time, twice, and said they'd made a mistake and that the actual last sighting was 6:03pm
As to date, Noah's shorts, underwear, t-shirt and coat have not been recovered. There has also not been anyone come forward with either cctv or eyewitness to show that Noah removed his clothing.
At the time of Noah's disappearance there was a lot of online activity and eye witnesses who left comments on media and PSNI pages stating what they had saw. A majority of these comments vanished within days. There were screenshots taken at the time from public.
There is confusion of how the person who saw Noah fall, stated he had left his jacket as it fell on the ground, and that he got back up and got on his bike and continued cycling. His jacket was also mentioned in the anonymous tip off about Daryl Paul and the backpack.
Most of Noah's clothes are still missing. As his Mother Fiona witnessed first hand, the police stood on the street while Noah was missing and allowed bin collections to proceed on Northwood Rd, while both Noah and his clothes were missing.

The public are upset that the police were suggesting "No foul play" before an autopsy had ever taken place with Noah after the discovery of his body, 950m inside a storm drain, in an area he was completely unfamiliar with https://t.co/dSAAXGDO4m
Many news papers and media ran this story, suggesting that Noah had done all this because of a concussion. After the coroners report which didn't mention a concussion, there was no further additions to this or updates.

https://t.co/sU2gW8WJFV
In May 2020, a month before Noah's death, another boy around the same age as Noah was brutally attacked and robbed very near the same area Noah had vanished. He was also cycling and had his phone stolen and his bike. https://t.co/fDgRs1g4Xs
The storm drain that Noah was found in is believed to be unlocked. As Noah was said to be still inside and missing, someone was phoned and asked to put the lock back on, on the 24th June. Nobody knows who unlocked the storm drain in the first place https://t.co/Vlk7dfYfLN
January 2021

Noah's family and legal team ask for witnesses to come forward in a new line of enquiry that Noah had been assaulted in Belfast City Centre

PSNI received report Noah Donohoe "may have been assaulted", inquest hears https://t.co/1hVEuCQF7V
Feb 2021

The Police turn their attention to Storm Drain Safety

Police launch investigation into access to storm drain where teenager was found https://t.co/Nv9po6JUCV
An appeal is made to a member of public who may have images that surround the suspected assault on Noah in Belfast City Centre. The phone is of great importance to the family and they are pleading with the person who has it to come forward. https://t.co/EbzAjx6MP6
February 2021

Noah's Mother Fiona has made an appeal to premise holders in around Royal Avenue, especially around the side streets of the old Belfast Telegraph building that they forward their cctv to be examined for clues. https://t.co/mxg7iWiMty
Again there are many cameras and shops around this area.

CCTV although written over can be retrieved forensically.
Feb 2021

A person hands a phone in to police with important images to be examined. Story by @trishdevlin
Noah is said to have discarded his belongings, yet the public have not seen any cctv whatsoever of Noah doing this. Or of him discarding his backpack at Ulster University. If there is cctv of Daryl Paul picking up the backpack there must be cctv of it being left there.
Police said at that the start that there was a leaflet drop, yet there was no evidence of this https://t.co/zkLB63hBC2
I personally am unsure about the date/time of SARDA screenshot, but it is in response to a member of the public asking why search dogs were not brought into the area. Other links included to stories regarding the Search Teams
The community continue to support Fiona and the Donohoe family throughout this time. Not forgetting the thousands that took to the streets in a car convoy to show their solidarity with Fiona and her family

https://t.co/kY66CfjXc5
We hope and pray that Noah's brave and loving Mother Fiona and her beautiful loving and loyal family get the answers they need. We will always remember Noah💙 #RememberMyNoah💙 and do everything and anything we can to help xxx

We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.

Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)

It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.

Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
