His black friend Jayvon Williams stated in an interview that Wells chose to stay behind and not get in the boat with the friends in question.


Which isn't a bad decision if the boat is having problems.

except his parents and Crump have held press conferences saying: Come on, y'all. This shite looks awfully shady.


Which they will do as long as the "Clicks" & Gofundme money continues to pour in.
This whole sad situation will be a tremendous waste of our Judicial System's time and taxpayer's money.

That leads me to believe this was premeditated. They had to have some kind of plan to drown him without leaving signs.

Taking a black person to any body of water may indeed be premeditated shenanigans. It would be similar to a group of people taking my fatass out for a mountain climb.

There will probably be some kind of abrasions or contusions that can't be fully explained and they'll run with that. Because it's like disc bulging where we all have those things if you look hard enough


I’m pretty close to someone who knows the extended family

Apparently the condition of the body was suspicious to them.

Grain of salt, obviously. I agree that it wouldn’t be strange for him to be pretty beat up given the natural circumstances of dying out there.

Did you see the interview? These people are not very sharp. Easily manipulated by charlatans like Ben Crump & Al Sharpton.

If it’s the same video talked about earlier I’m pretty sure the person having the disagreement was proven not to be Nolan.


Javon Williams gave an interview with TMZ stating that is not Nolan but a different friend of his.

Apparently the condition of the body is driving a lot of these suspicions

OK. By all accounts, the deceased did not ride back on the boat with the teens who were blasted all over the place due to a prior photo or photos of them with the deceased.
So no matter what condition his body was in or where it was found, that puts these white teens in no different position in the case.

You think somebody got into a fight with him and killed him on an island with thousands of witnesses around and not a single person has come forward? You think he was murdered in front of hundreds of people and they are all in on the cover up?


I think it is more likely he drowned, but of course they should spend some time eliminating the possibility of foul play.

By “suspicions” I mean curiosities about how he died and what led up to it.

I don’t think any of the immediate knee jerk blaming of his friends was fair or rational in any way.

Agreed. It's like they had nothing else tying him to the friends besides: 'Here's this existing photo of him with three or four guys.'

Honestly a body in the Gulf for 2 days with crabs, currents, rocks, and numerous other things is going to be horrific. It doesn’t mean foul play was involved. Especially since the kids being put on blast were not even there.

I listened to the audio of the video of the alleged confrontation. I believe Crump is lying through his teeth.
For one, the audio doesn't sound anything like "give me my fricking phone"
They're saying that supposedly Nolan was on the beach where he was surrounded by a bunch of others. That may be the case? However, whoever was recording had to be much closer to the person yelling. The audio was too loud and nearby.

Lastly, I'm pretty sure I'll get called racist for this. But oh well. That didn't sound like a black guy. That audio sounded much more like a white guy yelling.

This..
Nature goes to work quickly after death and Seagulls are the Vultures of the ocean.
Does anyone know how long he was deceased and in the water?

I agree with you.

Just relaying what I’ve heard.

I don’t blame anyone for asking why or how their kid is dead, and I’m willing to give a lot of grace for anyone who is grieving.

Any and all knee-jerk accusations are irresponsible and dangerous and should be condemned by anyone with good common sense.

The viral video that allegedly captured a tense confrontation between Nolan Wells and another person on Horn Island just hours before his disappearance is not what it seems ... because it looks like Nolan had already gone missing when the video was taken.

Ballpark #s: he went missing sometime late afternoon on the 4th. His body was found on the morning of the 6th. Approximately 40 hours.

It’s been debunked by both the boat owner and Jayvon Williams. Shame on Crump for continuing to speculate on this video.

In light of the fact that autopsies and toxicology tests typically take a while for results to come back, why is a protest warranted now?



This might have been posted already, but I came across this earlier.



Read the comments. That kid said it wasn't a whole race thing and what happens? TMZ was trying to sort of discredit him and the comments were doing the same thing. People saying he needs to shut up because he wasn't doing "his brother" any favors, etc.

Racism is profitable. The media, especially TMZ profits because race related stories drives traffic. I would bet what happened here is that TMZ located this dude on Facebook or whatever social media, because he followed and was followed by Wells and the other kids and he was the one who agreed to talk. They probably didn't do much vetting because they saw the kid was black so they assumed he would say something they could use to lean into. He didn't so they they try to discredit.
