Nolan Wells' Friends Wiped WHAT Right After He Vanished?!

There's a version of the Nolan Wells case where three friends panic, make a bad call, and everything else is just grief and bad luck. And there's the version where a wiped phone, a lawyered-up friend group, and a boat nobody's bothered to inspect start to look like something else entirely. Nolan went out to Horn Island for the Fourth of July with three friends; only three came back. His phone eventually surfaced at the boat owner's house — Snapchat wiped on it, no phone call to his mother letting her know it had turned up. The friends' story is that Nolan wanted to stay behind for a girl. The girl's story doesn't match. The stated reason the boat left him behind — that it was taking on water — has never been independently checked, because as far as anyone can tell, the boat itself has never been examined by investigators at all. Nolan's own best friend, who was there that day, says he's never even been contacted. A Jackson County judge's stepson was on that boat too. The Coast Guard got a call at 11 PM and decided it wasn't urgent. Two days and a failed search later, Nolan was found face down in the water, right where he was last seen alive. His parents ordered their own autopsy rather than take Mississippi's word for it. Hundreds have marched in Ocean Springs. The funeral needs an arena. And the sheriff's answer to all of it, so far, is that his office won't be rushed — which is a strange thing to say about evidence with an expiration date.
