Although it is difficult, Noyes also said he also doesn’t let any personal feelings or thoughts he might have about a case get in the way of reporting it objectively.

While in the process of reporting, he explained that he doesn’t get wrapped up in the story, but after the truth has come out is when able to truly reflect on the case.

Although he was able to keep his emotions in check during his work, after the trials, Noyes said he shed tears when the parents of the victims came up to him and thanked him for helping their families heal.
