here’s a full breakdown of a working theory for what may have happened to Noah Presgrove the night of September 3–4, 2023, based on the timeline, messages, witness posts, and physical evidence.

Noah Presgrove Theory: Dragged by ATV After Party Conflict
⸻

Timeline of Events
~1:30 AM – 2:00 AM
• Party is in full swing.
• Noah is filmed playing the “slap game.”
• Jack Newton claims he “goes to sleep” at 2:00 AM.
• Contradiction: Witness later says Jack was awake at 3:00 AM.
⸻
~3:00 AM
• Noah reportedly crashes Jack’s side-by-side (SxS) ATV.
• He returns dirty and drunk. Witnesses say girls help him shower.
• A Snapchat from Jasmine at 3:41 AM says “Noah is missing.”

Tension Point: Jack may have been angry about the ATV wreck. Some reports suggest Noah saw something he shouldn’t have (e.g., Caleb cheating with Avery), raising motive for conflict.
⸻
~4:00 AM – 4:30 AM
• Noah is last seen, possibly trying to sleep but rejected from someone’s bed.
• Jack is reportedly still awake — despite his 2:00 AM sleep claim.
• Theory: A confrontation occurs.
• Noah may be pushed out or coaxed to leave.
• Either as punishment, accident, or panic response, he is dragged behind or under the ATV on Highway 81.

Supporting Evidence:
• Autopsy showed blunt force trauma, dragging-type injuries, internal bleeding, and road rash.
• The body’s position (nude except shoes) and curve-shaped markings at the scene suggest he may have been dragged in an arc.
• No vehicle debris supports the idea it was not a car, but something lighter — like an ATV or UTV.
⸻
~5:15 AM
• Jack bursts into the house yelling “Noah is dead.”
• Witnesses say he was the only one awake.
• Some claim the group then went back to sleep like nothing happened — a massive red flag.
⸻
5:30–5:45 AM
• Trucker Tyler Hardy finds Noah’s body and calls 911.
• Jack arrives shortly after and identifies Noah’s body.
• Oddly, Jack claims to have been “driving to go fishing” that early — but no lakes are nearby, and the timeline doesn’t align.
⸻

Key Supporting Evidence
• Jack had the means (ATV), motive (wrecked vehicle, tension), and opportunity (awake during critical window).
• Noah’s clothes were missing, but a witness says he was wearing black shorts at 5:15 AM — suggesting post-mortem tampering.
• Caleb Newton (Jack’s father) was proven to be at the party despite denying it and allegedly handled Noah’s clothing afterward.
• Several partygoers reportedly got new phones the next day, which is classic evidence scrubbing behavior.
⸻

Working Theory Summary:
Noah wrecks the ATV around 3 AM. Jack is angry.
Tension builds — possibly due to the wreck or personal drama (cheating rumors).
Noah, extremely drunk, is lured or forced out of the house.
In a haze of recklessness, he is either dragged behind the ATV or run over and moved to conceal the incident.
His body is dumped 1.2 miles away, and someone removes his shorts — possibly to hide signs of trauma or assault.
Jack, already aware, returns to the house at 5:15 AM to announce Noah is dead.
⸻

Why It Matters:
• Jack lied about when he slept and gave conflicting timelines.
• No one called 911 from the house — only a stranger (the trucker) did.
• Jack knew where the body was before anyone else.
• The group’s behavior afterward (returning to sleep, deleting phones, silence) suggests a cover-up.
