Nolan Wells' Phone Has Been Sitting In Ocean Springs Since July 5

from Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary · host True Crime Today

Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo, and Morgan Seymour say they last saw Nolan Wells alive on the afternoon of July 4 on Horn Island. They say he chose to stay after meeting an unknown woman. They say his phone stayed on the boat, which is how it made it back to the mainland without him. Since those statements, all three have faced death threats and online harassment. Some have been forced to leave school or their homes. Their attorneys describe their lives as upended. They've hired a defamation lawyer connected to Trump's legal team to pursue claims against people spreading accusations. The accusations trace back to Nolan's mother, who says she opened the phone and found two empty Snapchat accounts on a device that belonged to a teenager who was constantly on social media. She believed someone tampered with it. That claim went national before any forensic expert touched the device. Six weeks later, the phone still hasn't been examined. The family has had it the entire time. They have forensic experts on retainer who they describe as being on standby. A single extraction could show whether data was deleted or whether Horn Island's lack of cell service explains the empty accounts. That extraction could clear three young men or build a case. Instead, the phone sits in Ocean Springs while attorneys on all sides argue about the terms of looking at it.
