Audio call from Nolan Wells’ friends: Nolan arrived at Horn Island on this same boat, with this same group, that morning. Later that day, the boat took on water — this time without him — and his friend sounds panicked, struggling to answer the dispatcher’s questions. “We’re sinking, can y’all please come?” The caller told dispatch everyone was accounted for. That same boat was towed, then continued under its own power, and made it back to shore that evening — but Nolan Wells was not with the group when it did. 🎥: TMZ

Wells disappeared during a Fourth of July boat trip with a group of high school friends to an island off the Gulf Coast. Wells, who was Black, was the only member of the group who did not return to the mainland. His body was found in the water days later. The friends he was traveling with are white. Authorities say there are no signs of foul play and that Wells drowned, though the investigation remains ongoing. His family, meanwhile, is seeking an independent autopsy and calling for a full and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death. Geoff Bennett spoke with civil rights attorney Ben Crump (Ben Crump), who has been retained by the Wells family, for more on the investigation.

Brian Trascher from the United Cajun Navy, a volunteer organization that assisted with the search for Nolan Wells, said he was flying a plane over Horn Island when the 18-year-old's body was found. Wells went missing on the Fourth of July after taking a boat trip with his friends. Trascher, who is familiar with the barrier islands, told CBS News' Anna Schecter that with all the crowds out in the water that day, he "finds it hard to believe" no one would have noticed a distressed swimmer. The investigation into Wells' death is ongoing, and police have not yet released his manner and cause of death.

Was the Greek coast guard towing the boat before it capsized? An interview by former MEP Kriton Arsenis published today by the ThePressProject , reveals the the Greek coast guard might have been towing the overcrowded fishing vessel before it capsized. This shocking news came after he had been inside the holding facility talking to the survivors in the port of Kalamata, he say they told him that the Greek coast guard was towing the boat, then it suddenly capsized. The Greek coast guard has published several report on the fate incident, non of them mentioning anything about towing the boat, so why leave this vital information out of the reports, if true? Since this information has not been reported by the coast guard, the question is, was it left out of the reports because they were not trying to rescue the boat, rather towing it toward Italian waters, or pushing them back. This report is not the first we have heard that suggests that the Greek coast guard was towing the boat before it capsized, killing hundreds of people, but the first report that has been published on video.

The family of the teenager whose body was found off the coast of Mississippi is calling for a "thorough" investigation into their son's death. Eighteen-year-old Nolan Wells had gone on a boat trip to a nearby island with friends during the Fourth of July weekend but did not return with them. He was the only Black teenager among a group of white friends. The Jackson County Sheriff's Office says no foul play is suspected but is calling for any witnesses to come forward. At a press conference Friday, civil rights attorney Ben Crump said the facts of the case are "not adding up" as Nolan Wells' mother asked for answers. An official autopsy has been conducted, though it could be weeks before the results are released. Police say the friends who were on the island with Wells are cooperating with the investigation.

His name is Nolan Xavier Wells. He was an eighteen-year-old Southwest Mississippi Community College student and athlete, described by those who knew him as “an extremely kind young man who was always willing to uplift others.” Nolan was reported missing by his mother on July 4th after he failed to return home from a boat trip with “friends” to Horn Island in Mississippi. Two days later his lifeless body was discovered in the water just offshore at the northwestern tip of the island. According to reports, Wells was with a young lady on the island prior to his disappearance. She has been in contact with Nolan's family to share what she knows but has no insight into what occurred after going their separate ways. Despite claims from his companions that Nolan stayed behind to catch a different ride back, their story contradicts a glaring detail: his cellphone was on the boat that departed without him. Community outrage and online discussions indicate the young men on the boat trip hired legal counsel and ceased communicating after a body was recovered. Skepticism is fueled by allegations that at least one of the teens on the trip is the child of a local judge. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump is representing the family of Nolan Wells. Investigators are still processing evidence to reconstruct the events leading up to Wells’ disappearance. However, one stark reality is clear: every white person returned home safely, while the only Black member of the group lost his life. We will not rest until the complete truth of what happened to Nolan on Horn Island is revealed.
