>> KNOW WHAT? NEVER MADE IT HOME FROM THAT PARTY ON LABOR DAY, SEPTEMBER 4TH, HE WAS FOUND DEAD LESS THAN AMILE AWAY ON THE SIDE OF A RURAL HIGHWAY. SHE WAS NAKED EXCEPT FOR HIS SHOES. AND TO THIS DAY. >> NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. I SHOULD SAY THAT NOAH'S FAMILY DOESN'T KNOW. AND IF POLICE KNOW THEY ARE DOING A GREAT JOB OF HIDING IT. THE OKLAHOMA STATE BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION DECLARED HIS DEATH SUSPICIOUS. BUT THEY'VE RELEASED ALMOST NO OTHER DETAILS. SAME WITH THE HIGHWAY PATROL. THE FUNERAL HOME DID GIVE NOAH'S FAMILY A PRELIMINARY, DEATH CERTIFICATE AND LISTED THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA, BUT THAT'S NOT OFFICIAL NOT CONFIRMED EITHER. AND IT'S NOW BEEN 7 AGONIZING MONTHS. I'M JOINED NOW BY NOAH'S SISTER AND HIS COUSIN AND HIS ON MADISON RAWLINGS ASHLEY CHADWICK AND ROBIN SMITH. THANK YOU TO ALL 3 OF YOU FOR BEING ON THE PROGRAM TONIGHT. AND MAY I JUST SAY I'M SO INCREDIBLY SORRY FOR WHAT YOUR FAMILY. >> HE'S GOING THROUGH. I CAN NOT IMAGINE JUST HOW TRAUMATIC IT IS AND HOW STRESSFUL IT WHILE YOU'RE TRYING TO GRIEVE. SO I'M I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE TO CAME ON THE PROGRAM TONIGHT. MADISON CANNOT BEGIN WITH YOU. >> THESE LAST 7 MONTHS, WHAT ARE THE AUTHORITIES TELLING YOU WHEN YOU ASK THEM FOR FOR ANSWERS? >> REALLY. ALL WE GET IS WE'RE WORKING ON IT'S A SMALL COMMUNITY. WE DON'T WANT IT OUT. WE DON'T WANT ANY OF OUR LEADS TO ESTA OR JUST KEEP IT QUIET FOR NOW, IT'S PRETTY WHY ON OUR IAND ON THE OFFICER'S AS FAR AS WE KNOW. >> BUT IS THERE NO VICTIMS ADVOCATE WHOSE LIKE WORKING WITH YOU AND AT LEAST HELPFUL TO YOU TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH THIS PROCESS. >> NO, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ASSIGNED THE MAP AGAIN AT ALL. >> ARE YOU UPSET WITH THE AUTHORITIES IN HOW THEY TREATED YOU? AND DO YOU FEEL THAT THEY REALLY ARE? CONTINUING THIS INVESTIGATION AND THAT THEY'RE KEEPING THINGS CLOSE TO THEIR VESTS FOR GOOD REASON. >> I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT IN MY HEART, I WANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE DOING THEIR JOB AND THAT. > I JUST NEED TO TRUST THE PROCESS AND THEY DO THIS MORE THAN ME EVER. >> AND SO I THINK THERE'S THAT HOPEFULNESS THAT IS LONG. AND I BELIEVE THEY BELIEVE WHAT AND EVERYTHING'S GOING TO FIGURE ITSELF OUT. >> BUT I THINK AS TIME CONTINUES ON AND WE SEE NOTHING MONTH AFTER MONTH AFTER MONTH, ONE THAT HELPED DIES. WHAT? WHAT COMES NEXT? AND IF I NOT PROACTIVE NOW, WELL, THEY DID. I MISS MY OPPORTUNITY TO GET SOME MORE HELP. >> ASHLEY, LET ME ASK YOU THE SAME. YOU KNOW, QUESTION IN TERMS OF ASKING FOR REGULAR UPDATES, NOT GETTING ANY. WHAT ACTUALLY DO THEY SAY LIKE WHAT SORT OF VERBIAGE TO BE USED TO TRY TO ASSUAUAGE YOUROUR CONCERNS ARE UNDERSTANDABLE CONCERNS. >> AS FAR AGING ARE NEWS ON WHAT IS BEING THERE'S NOTHING WE'RE WORKING ON IT. AND THAT'S IT. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT. AND THAT'S WHAT THEY LEAVE IT AT. THERE'S NO ELABORATION, NOTHING. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING OFF. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S FEELINGS OF FRUSTRATION, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IN AGGRAVATION AND THAT KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF US GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GRIEVING WHERE WE WERE SADDENED. SOME ARE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF BEING ANGRY. >> SO, ROBIN, PRELIMINARY DEATH CERTIFICATE THAT MENTIONS THE BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA THAT'S FROM THE THE FUNERAL PROCESSING, BUT NOT FROM THE AUTHORITIES. WHY DID THEY EVEN GIVE THAT TO YOU FOR WHAT? FOR WHAT PURPOSE WOULD THEY HAVE DONE THAT, BUT NOT FOR YOU TO JUST BE MORE FRUSTRATED THAT YOU CAN'T GET THAT. THE FINAL ANSWER. >> IT VERY BEST OF IT DOES COME FROM THE STATE. IT'S JUST NOT COMPLETE. IT'S NOT SIGNED OFF BY THE STATE AND IT WON'T BE UNTIL THE INVESTIGATION IS FINISHED. AND THE OFFICIAL CAUSE OF DEATH IS LISTED. >> ARE YOU I MEAN, I'M IMAGINING YOU'RE AS FRUSTRATED AS ANYONE ELSE, YOU KNOW, IN THE FAMILY. BUT DO YOU MAKE REGULAR ATTEMPTS TO CALL THE MEDICAL EXAMINER AND ASK FOR CAUSE OF DEATH MANNER OF DEATH. ANY OF THE ABOVE ANY INFORMATION AT ALL. ROBIN? >> AND THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO REACH OUT ME AND THEY'VE TOLD US THAT IT'S PENDING INVESTIGATION AND THEY CANNOT RELEASE A REPORT U UNTIL INVESTIGATION IS DONE. >> WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT PICTURES OF OF NOAH. HE'S JUT SUCH A LOVELY LOOKING KID. AND IT'S SUCH A TRAGEDY. >> THESE FRIENDS AT THE PARTY, IT SEEMS LIKE A RAGING PARTY. AND, YOU KNOW, THEY DO WHAT LOTS OF TEENAGERS DO. THEY MESS AROUND A SLAP EACH OTHER. BUT IN ONE PICTURE, WE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A TEENAGER HOLDING A LONG GUN. IS THERE ANY SUSPICION AT ALL? IS ANYONE ADDRESSING THAT AND ARE THESE PARTY GOERS HELPING YOU AND TELLING YOU WHAT THEY NOW? >> AS FAR AS TELLING US WHAT THEY KNOW WHENEVER EVERYTHING FIRST HAPPENED, EVERYONE HAVE THEIR RUMOR AND THEY HAVE THEIR OWN OPPORTUNITIES COME. TALK TO THE FAMILY IN A FEW DID COME TO THE HOUSE AND CHAT WITH US. BUT SINCE THEN, IT'S BEEN PRETTY QUIET. NO ONE SPEAKS TO ANYBODY REALLY. AND I THINK AS FAR AS THE GUN IT WAS BROUGHT UP TO INVESTIGATORS AND STAFF. BUT SINCE THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF AND BEING SHOT THAT WE KNOW OF, I DON'T THINK THEY REALLY LOOKED INTO IT THAT FAR. >> DID DID THE KIDS HAVE AT LEAST STORIES THAT CORROBORATED EACH OTHER. MEANING DID IT FEEL AS THOUGH THEY WERE TELLING YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT EVERYTHING THEY KNEW? >> NO, MA'AM, WE DID NOT GET TOLD THE SAME STORY BY ANY CHILDREN. AND SOMETIMES HOLD DIFFERENT STORIES BY THIS SAME KID. SO HERE IT TELL US ONE STORY. AND THEN A FEW DAYS LATER, WE GET A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY. >> AND DO THE POLICE KNOW ABOUT THIS WHERE THEY'L QUESTIONED BY THE POLICE? DID THEY'LL GIVE STATEMENTS. >> NOT THAT WE'RE AWARE. >> YEAH. THEY WERE QUESTIONED BY THE PLAYHOUSE SECOND 3RD DAY AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN QUESTIONS THERE WAS INCONSISTENT. HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO TELL THE POLICE? >> SORRY TO INTERRUPT. HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO TELL THE POLICE THAT YOU'VE BEEN GETTING DIFFERENT STORIES? WELL, AT LEAST THEY KNOW THAT I MEAN THAT SOMETHING ROBIN HAS HAS NO IS ON. WHAT WOULD YOU EVERYBODY WATCHING TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR NEPHEW. >> HE WAS JUST US FOR ROCHE US IN IT EMBRACED 8. HE DIDN'T HOLD GRUDGES. HE JUST. HE HE LOVED LIFE. HE HAD AND HE DIDN'T LET ANYTHING GET TO HE JUST WHAT'S SO FORGIVING. HE WAS JUST SUCH A SWEET KID. HE WAS SO FEARLESS. HE WOULD JUST BE STANDING THERE AND DO A FLIP IN FRONT OF YOU STRAIGHT OFF THE GROUND. AND HE WAS HE WAS JUST SUCH A GOOD KID. HE HE HAD SUCH A GOOD OUTLOOK ON MY HAND. SO MUCH GOING FOR HIM IN. HE WAS. IT WAS A LIGHT. >> AND HE WAS GOING TO SERVE IN THE MILITARY AS WELL. ASHLEIGH, DO WANT TO ADD TO THAT. >> KNOW. WAS. HE WAS A LOT OF FUN AND HE WAS GIVING YOU A >> HE JUST HAD THAT PERSONALITY THAT PEOPLE GRAVITATE TO. AND THAT'S WHY HE DID HAVE SUCH A BIG FRIEND DAYS, YOU KNOW, AND PEOPLE THAT STUCK WITH HIM FOR A LONG TIME AS A FRIEND AND AS FOR WHAT WORLD TO REMEMBER HIM HE WOULD GIVE THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK. HE WAS WILLING TO HOPE HIS HELP PEOPLE IN THE FAMILY DO HEY, THE WORK HE WAS AMAZING. AND HE WAS AS BIG OF A HEART THAT HE HAD. HE WAS EVEN BIGGER ON FORGIVENESS. SO HE WAS JUST GREAT. >> ONE OF MY TEAMMATES JUST SAID, MAY WE ALL BE AS FEROCIOUS AND LIFE AS NOAH. WE'LL STAY ON THIS AND YOU STAY IN TOUCH WITH US AND LET US KNOW WAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS INVESTIGATION. BUT I SUSPECT YOU SHOULD BE GETTING ANSWERS SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. THAT'S BEEN FAR TOO LONG.
