A teenager was drunk while having his bottom painted and dared his friends to slap him at a raging party hours before he was found dead on the side of the road.
Noah Presgrove, 19, was wearing only his shoes when his body was discovered on a desolate stretch of US-81 in Teller, Oklahoma, on September 4.
He was last seen alive at a four-day 22nd birthday party with friends over Labor Day weekend that was widely documented on social media.
Presgrove and his friends graduated from Comanche High School just a few months earlier and his family said he planned to join the military.
But that weekend they were drunk celebrating the end of summer with a party at the birthday girl’s house, detailed in videos obtained by DailyMail.com.

A video from the night she died showed some of Presgrove’s friends writing their names on her bare buttocks with a marker.

The writing was not yet there when his body was discovered in the early hours of the morning but it was not known how or when it was removed.
Other photographs show the teenager writing on another friend’s buttocks and posing next to him with a signature on his chest.
Two more videos show Presgrove daring his friends to slap him while they partied under a patio outside the house.
Presgrove had to repeatedly insist that a friend hit him and finally only lightly punched him before running away for fear of retaliation.

Presgrove’s family complained that his friends claimed to have no idea what happened to him and how he ended up dead on the side of the road a few hours later.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation described his death as “suspicious” days later, but almost no details about the investigation have been released.
Even Presgrove’s family said they knew nothing, and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol declined to provide any details to maintain the “integrity of the investigation.”
They have not even seen the medical report or been told the cause of his death, and claimed to have not heard from the police since last year.
The few documents available showed that police officers were told conflicting stories and initially believed Presgrove might have died in a hit-and-run.

Instead, it was possible that he “had been forcibly pushed from the bed of a moving truck” based on blood evidence.
His family said all they were told was that he suffered a head injury, but they were not sure if that was the cause of his death.
Some of them are convinced that he was murdered and his body was dumped on the road, still within sight of the house where his friends were partying.
“The longer you hold the truth inside, the more guilty you will become… you could help get justice for Noah,” said his sister Madison Rawlings.
‘You could do the right thing and receive a mercy that was not given to him, but the longer we sit in silence, the worse it will be for you.

Presgrove’s aunt Robyn Smith (center) and grandmother Deborah Smith (right) called for answers more than seven months after his death.
His family said all they were told was that he suffered a head injury, but they were not sure if that was the cause of his death.
‘I hope those involved see that we do not give in and that silence fuels our desire to know more.
‘I miss Noah every day. This is the most difficult chapter of my life, but I am grateful to have a family that won’t give up on each other.’
Presgrove’s grandmother, Deborah Smith, also called her friends to tell them the whole story of what happened the night she died.
‘When you think you have friends you trust with all your heart and here it comes. “I’m sorry, Noah, because some of your real friends stabbed you in the back,” she said.
“A piece of my heart is missing and every day that goes by and Noah doesn’t walk through the door and he still doesn’t get a response, he just takes another piece of my heart with him.”
Presgrove and his friends graduated from Comanche High School just a few months earlier and his family said he planned to join the military.
Presgrove was a high school football player until his graduation in May.
His aunt Robyn Smith pleaded with anyone with information to at least tell police so her family would have answers seven months later.
“We lost an incredible young man to the horrible decisions of others. Please don’t let us lose justice,” he said.
‘We have heard many different stories, but we have yet to hear the truth. All the truth. What we deserve.
‘I know it’s scary and I know it’s difficult, but we deserve to know what happened. Noah deserves to have his story told. We will not stop searching and asking. We will not stop demanding. He will come out.’
