Jefferson County, Oklahoma – The mysterious death of 19-year-old Noah Presgrove, whose body was found on the side of the highway wearing only shoes on Labor Day, has left authorities in Oklahoma puzzled. While the medical examiner confirmed that Presgrove died of multiple blunt force injuries, the investigation has not yet classified his death as a murder.
According to Oklahoma Department of Public Safety spokesperson Sarah Stewart, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol is currently not treating Presgrove’s death as a homicide. However, the investigation is still ongoing, with both the state highway patrol and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation actively looking into the circumstances surrounding the young man’s death.
Presgrove had disappeared over the Labor Day weekend following an extended party. His body was discovered by Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Zach Wright off Highway 81 in Jefferson County. The exact cause of his injuries and the events leading up to his death remain unclear.
Days after the initial discovery, the state’s bureau of investigation announced that they were treating Presgrove’s death as suspicious. Although investigators have conducted numerous interviews and followed leads, the medical examiner, Dr. Leonardo Roquero, has not yet determined the manner of death, leaving it listed as “unknown” in the report field.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about the case to contact the Southwest Regional Communications Center. As the investigation into Presgrove’s death continues, questions linger about the circumstances surrounding the young man’s tragic end. The community awaits more information to shed light on this puzzling case.
