Summary
There are several concerning and conflicting accounts about how a black, 18-year-old elite athlete who knew how to swim, wound up dead after attending a Fourth of July party surrounded by hundreds of partygoers. Nolan Wells family is demanding answers and awaiting results from independent autopsy, as new questions emerge in this case. Perhaps the most glaring: why would any teenager leave their phone, and their friends, to stay on a remote island with no way to communicate with anyone? We go over the latest developments and contradictory statements from witnesses who have an entire community asking for transparency.
