Nolan Wells’ and his phone were separated  on Horn Island. It was later recovered by his family from one of his friends’ homes on the mainland.  Attorneys representing the family, including Ben Crump, note that Nolan had demanded his phone back during an argument with his friends on the island, indicating he wanted to maintain control over it.  The phone’s separation and whether any messages were deleted  have become central points in the ongoing investigation. The family and civil rights attorneys are questioning the timeline and circumstances surrounding Nolan’s disappearance, emphasizing that the phone’s handling may hold critical information about his final hours.   JOINING NANCY GRACE TONIGHT: Philip Dubé -  Former Court-Appointed Counsel, Los Angeles County Public Defenders: Criminal & Constitutional Law, Forensics & Mental Health Advocacy Brandon Tatum - Former Police Officer with the Tucson Police Dept., Host of "The Officer Tatum" on Youtube.He's interviewed Nolan's friends who were on the boat that day.Host of the podcast : 'The Officer Tatum Show'Youtube: @TheOfficerTatum  X: TheOfficerTatum  Insta: theofficertatum Heather Barnhart  -  Digital Forensics Expert with Cellebrite  and the SANS Institute.  One of the Digital Forensic Investigators in the Bryan Kohberger case / Co-Author of "Practical Mobile Forensics," now in its 4th edition, www.sans.org and www.cellebrite.com and her blog: smarterforensics.com  Titania Jordan  - Chief Parent Officer, Bark Parental Controls, Author: "Parenting In A Tech World", www.Bark.us, Instagram/Twitter: @TitaniaJordan  Joseph Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet", YouTube Host: "Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan", @JoScottForensic Susan Hendricks - Investigative Journalist, Author: “Down the Hill: My Descent into the Double Murder in Delphi", IG @susan_hendricks X @SusanHendicks   Dave Mack  - Investigative Reporter, 'Crime Stories'  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
