Nolan Wells, an 18-year-old from Mississippi, went missing during a Fourth of July boat trip with friends to Horn Island and was found dead two days later. While authorities believe he may have accidentally drowned, his parents are not convinced and have launched their own investigation. Wells' friends claimed he chose to stay on the island, expecting a ride back with someone else, but his body was discovered in the water on July 6. The Jackson County Sheriff stated that investigators found no evidence of foul play. A video allegedly showing Wells in a verbal argument with a friend has gone viral, but authorities are still working to authenticate it. One of the friends on the boat, Tracestin Shepherd, insisted the group did nothing wrong, stating they all cared for Nolan. Wells' family has since launched their own investigation into his death.
