Family searching for answers in 19-year-old’s death

HERE AT 10. I'M JOLEEN CHANEY AND I'M KEVIN OGLE AND WE START TONIGHT WITH THE NEWS. 4 EXCLUSIVE NEWS FOUR'S SPENCER HUMPHREY DOWN WITH THE FAMILY OF NOAH PRESS GROW. THE 19 YEAR-OLD WHO WAS FOUND DEAD ON THE SIDE OF A JEFFERSON COUNTY HIGHWAY. BACK ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND, 7 MONTHS LATER, THEY STILL HAVE QUESTIONS. THEN, SIR. >> YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. GUYS KNOW AS FAMILY CAME OUT IN FULL FORCE TONIGHT, AT LEAST 2 DOZEN OF THEM COMING TOGETHER TO TELL ME ABOUT THE LACK OF ANSWERS THEY FEEL THEY'VE GOTTEN FROM THE PEOPLE TASKED WITH INVESTIGATING KNOW AS DEATH, LEAVING THEM NO MORE SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM THAN THEY WERE THE DAY HE WAS FOUND >> 7 MONTHS IS A LONG TIME. EVERY SINGLE DAY. THINK ABOUT A LONG TIME FOR NOAH PRESS GROVES, AUNTS, UNCLES, COUSINS, SIBLINGS AND GRANDPARENTS TO REFLECT ON THE 19 YEAR-OLDS SHORT LIFE.

NOT A TIME WHEN YOU SAW THAT BOY, DID HE NOT GIVE YOU A HUG? >> TELL YOU HOW MUCH YOU WANT IS GIVE U.S. WHOLE AREAS YOUR SADDAM. LIVE FROM. AND HAVING FUN IN LIFE. YOU KNOW. >> HE'S JUST ALWAYS BEEN THERE WITH US. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME TO WONDER WHAT LED TO BEING FOUND DEAD LYING ON THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY 81 IN RURAL JEFFERSON COUNTY AFTER A NIGHT PARTYING WITH FRIENDS BACK ON LABOR DAY. AT THE END OF THE DAY. >> WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT HE LOST HIS LIFE. HE WAS OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AND IT APPEARS THAT HE WAS DUMPED THERE. AND SOMEONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED. AND WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS. YOU CAN'T CLOSURE HEART FROM HEARTACHE THEY HOPED. INVESTIGATORS WITH THE OKLAHOMA HIGHWAY PATROL WOULD HELP FILL IN SOME OF THOSE GAPS. BUT INVESTIGATORS TOLD THEM SOMETHING OUT THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON AND THEY JUST WANT TO TAKE A QUIET.

NOAH'S FAMILY SAYS INVESTIGATORS WON'T SHARE THAN THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S REPORT, WHICH COULD AT LEAST TELL THEM WHAT CAUSED SNOW IS DEATHS WERE JUST NOT GET NO ANSWERS. I FEEL THAT WE'VE BEEN PRETTY MUCH LEFT IN THE DARK FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. >> THEY SAY THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING. >> RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE JUST LEFT TO GUESS YOU CAN'T MISS PASS. YOU JUST KEEP ARE LIVING IN ANGER AND HOPE THAT SOMEONE ANYONE WHO KNOWS MORE WILL FEEL IT IN THEIR HEART TO GIVE THIS FAMILY ANSWERS BEFORE 7 MONTHS TURNS INTO 8.

BUT IT TRUE THAT WAS THEIR CHILD. >> HOW WOULD THEY FEEL IF NOBODY WAS TALKING ARE SAYING WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOUR CHILD WAS WITH SOME OF HIS BEST FRIENDS. BUT NOBODY HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? >> NOW REACHED OUT TO THE OKLAHOMA HIGHWAY PATROL, WHICH IS THE AGENCY LEADING THE INVESTIGATION INTO KNOW AS DEATH. AND I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD SHARED THE LATEST UPDATES THEY HAVE ON THE .
