Noah Bush’s family hires law firm to conduct private investigation

Nearly a month after crews found Noah Bush’s body in a Wayne County burial pit, his family turned to Davis Bozeman Johnson Law on Thursday to launch their own private investigation in hopes of finding answers more quickly. “Why is this taking so long?” asked Francys Johnson, a partner at the law firm. “Any mother in her shoes would want answers like this.” Read the original story here. “We just want Noah to get the justice he deserves,” said Demetrice Bush, Noah’s mother. The family is trusting the firm to find answers because they are the ones who uncovered the truth in the Ahmaud Arbery case. As of Thursday, the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office’s 24-day investigation has been taking “too long” for the family. “Their question is simple. What happened to Noah Bush? Why did the Sheriff’s Office rush to judgment without a full investigation? Who is responsible and will they be held accountable,” Johnson said. “The Bush family deserves this,” said Mawuli Davis, a partner at Davis Bozeman Johnson Law. “This is what we have dedicated all of our attorneys and resources to with our various officials to make sure this happens.” Demetrice claims that first responders, county sheriffs and other agencies failed to answer her questions throughout the search for Noah, and she felt officials dismissed her concerns. After finding the boy’s body, sheriffs would not show Demetrice his body. “(His drowning) never made sense to me because Noah was afraid of water,” Demetrice Bush said. “He didn’t deserve for his life to be so short. He had dreams. He had goals. He had ambitions. And he deserved to still be here.” Johnson said the family opted for a private investigation because they felt the WCSO’s process was too slow. The law firm did not mention who it will or has hired as an investigator. WJCL 22 has reached out to Wayne County Sheriff Chuck Moseley for comment on the family’s decision but has not heard back as of Thursday evening. However, the law firm believes it will not hinder WCSO’s investigation while they conduct their own. “I’m sure that’s exactly what the sheriff’s office should expect from anyone who helps,” Johnson said. “We have no intention of hindering their investigation.” “Noah was my whole heart. He was an amazing, motivated, determined little boy. He loved sports. He loved school. He loved hugs. He was just an all around sweet person and we miss him very much,” Demetrice said.
