Nolan Wells’ Parents Believe His Phone Is a Clue. Now, His Friend Explains What Happened to It After July 4 Party

A friend of Nolan Wells has spoken out about what he said happened to the teenager's phone before he ended up disappearing during a Fourth of July party on Horn Island in Mississippi.

Two days later, he was found dead. In the latest video shared by local media outlets, one of the commentators addressed Wells leaving his phone behind before his disappearance on July 4.

Much remains unclear about Wells' final hours alive before he vanished in plain sight from the island party. One of the strangest parts of Wells' disappearance, as per his parents, is that his pals say he left his phone behind on the boat but stayed at the party on Horn Island without his group before being found dead.

Authorities mentioned at the start how they didn't see signs of foul play and thought he might have drowned, but his family says that was a rushed judgment. They worry that race might play a role here.

His friend is breaking his silence on how it was normal for attendees to leave their phones on boats to protect them from the ocean. Hudson also mentioned how he and his pals didn't access his phone before handing it over.
