A Fourth of July trip to Mississippi’s Horn Island turned tragic for 18-year-old Nolan Wells, whose body was found face down near the shoreline two days later.
He had been vacationing with three friends, Warren Hudson, Tracestin Shepherd, and Jayvon Williams, all of whom made it back home safely.
While investigators did not report any evidence of foul play, Wells’ parents, Christine and Elmore Wonsley, remained concerned, particularly after learning that his friends had taken his phone before leaving him behind.
