Nolan Wells’ Friends Left Him On An Island With THIS

Everybody arguing about the Nolan Wells case online is arguing about the wrong hour. Not the autopsy. Not the phone. The boat ride home — the moment a group of eighteen-year-olds untied from a barrier island and left one of their own behind on it.

Horn Island sits about ten miles off Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The National Park Service keeps it undeveloped. There is no shelter out there, no drinking water, no store, no cell tower. For one day a year it’s the best party on the coast. Every other hour of the year it’s empty, and after dark on the Fourth it goes right back to empty.

Nolan Wells was a college wide receiver, eighteen years old, out there with kids he grew up with. They came home. He was found in the water two days later by a National Park Service ranger, off the island’s northwestern tip.

Tony reads the mailbag straight. Nobody wrote in asking about tide charts. They wrote in asking how you get on a boat and look at an empty seat and pull away from the dock. They wrote in asking whether anybody counted. They wrote in asking what that island offers a person who’s still on it at midnight, alone, with no way to call anyone.

The sheriff’s office has said a friend reached the Coast Guard that night and that Nolan’s mother called the sheriff’s office soon after. Officials have said they believe he drowned while simultaneously insisting the work to determine what actually occurred is ongoing.

No cause of death has been released. Ben Crump is investigating for the family. A grand jury is coming.

The island first. Then everything else.
