A family is searching for answers after Noah Bush, an eight-year-old boy, left his home in Jessup, Georgia, to play with friends and never returned.
Hours later, the boy’s body was found in a borrow pit. Police suspected his death was due to drowning with no foul play. However, his mother, Demetrice, is speaking out, and explaining that her son was terrified of water. She says he would have never gone near it.
Is this a case of foul play or a legit accident that led to a tragic death? Now, The Shade Room’s Justin Carter is investigating the incident on ‘TSR Investigates.’

More Details On The Disappearance Of Eight-Year-Old Noah Bush
According to Carter, Noah Bush left his home on Wednesday, May 15, around 5 p.m. to join a few older white kids in the neighborhood.
However, as the hours dwindled into the night, Bush never returned. The next day, Carter says, Demetrice’s “worst fear came true.”
“When they told me where he was actually found, it didn’t make sense to me because my son has always had a fear of water,” Demetrice told Carter.
Demetrice told Carter her son would stay far away from water slides and rides. The mother ultimately questioned how her son’s body was found in a borrow pit in a construction area.
According to Noah’s grandmother, Valerie Jernigan, cops immediately ruled the chance of foul play out of the eight-year-old’s death.
“I immediately asked, ‘Did they suspect any foul play?’ And the detective said no. I mean, right then, the detective said ‘no,'” Jernigan told Carter.
Furthermore, the grandmother alleged that Demetrice was prevented from seeing her son.
Here’s Why The Mother Is Searching For “Facts”
According to Carter, police informed the public that Noah allegedly “took his shoes off” and willingly waded into the water. However, Demetrice isn’t settled with this conclusion.
“I’m not getting any facts as to who they’re talking to, who they’re investigating, how my child was found, how he got in [the water] — nobody’s telling me anything,” Demetrice told Carter.
