The Nolan Wells timeline, that's what we're going through today in this video. This is a very active case, moving case. Things are changing sometimes by the hour, so just know that while you're watching this. If you're wanting to get yourself caught up, this is a good place to start. But no, obviously, things change. But here's where we're at, because there's so many things in this case that are simply odd, not adding up weird inconsistencies in the life of Nolan Wells. The last moments, I should say specifically, of Nolan Wells. And when he's found dead, yeah, people have a right to ask those questions. Nolan deserves the answers. People around him deserve answers. His family deserves answers. People being accused of heinous things deserve answers if they had nothing to do with this. Facts, the truth, shall set you free. It's not going to bring him back.
But facts and reality and truth are the only path that should be explored in this case. So we're going to go through the timeline of what we know so far in this and break it down. I'd love for you to give me your thoughts, your opinions in the comment section and sub stack in YouTube. Those links are in the description. Be sure to hit subscribe because we're going to keep following this thing wherever it may lead. Start here. Nolan Wells photographed everything. So when his mother opened his phone looking for the last day of his life, when she got his phone back, she expected to find it. Instead, she found nothing. Christine Wansley opened Noah's Snapchat inside the 24 hour window before the timer could wipe it. Because Snapchat is where teenagers actually live. That is where his last day should have been. But there were no saved pictures, no snaps from the 4th of July, a blank screen from the one day everyone in the country wants to see. His mother said that emptiness is exactly why the family believes something was deleted. The question is why? A kid who documented his whole life left behind an empty account from the single day that matters? That is where this all starts. And it is a preview of how the rest goes. The most important pieces of this case are the ones that are currently missing. I'm not accusing anyone of any crimes in this. The only thing I'm saying is let's find out the truth. Because if you're being accused of these horrible things and we're not doing that, I'm not calling anyone out, I'm not saying anybody did anything to him. We don't know the answer to that question. And if you are one of those people, it is in your best interest for facts and truth to come out if nothing has happened. That's what the truth shall set you free.
Again, if there's nothing to hide. There's odd things going on here, but odd things happen in life too. There may be simple reasons and explanations for some of these things that we go hmm about, but it's important to parse all that out. So anyone and everyone involved here can have a clear picture of who this man was, what was going on in his life at the moment all of this went down.
And Nolan by all accounts here had a lot of friends who loved him, who cared deeply for him.
And if he's on the other side looking at this, and if this was some sort of horrible accident, you can bet I'm sure he's not going, yeah, go after people who had nothing to do with this. Or if they did, he may be cheering that effort on. I don't know. We just don't know. And it's important not to jump into this camp or that camp. The truth camp is the only camp that matters right now.
Here's what missing looks like in this case.
A young woman Nolan met that day says, he told her he was heading back to catch the boat with the boys. The boys say Nolan told them he was staying behind to talk to her.
Both of those can't be true.
Or could they? Could they? Could they both be true?
And something else happened along the way. I don't know.
The boys say Nolan told them he was staying behind to talk to her.
She said he was going back with the boys. Same afternoon, same handful of hours, two accounts pointing in opposite directions. And the one person who could tell you which one is right is the one who never came home. The facts nobody disputes in this case fit in a single paragraph. Everything wrapped around them is people talking. Nolan Wells was 18, Ocean Springs, Mississippi, a student athlete at Southwest Mississippi Community College, a wide receiver, a business major known to the people who loved him as No-No. On the evening of July 3rd, he made his family salmon for dinner. Then he left to spend the night with friends ahead of the holiday. He cooked for his family. Then he went to celebrate the fourth on the water, the way plenty of Americans do. The water in this case is Horn Island. It sits about 10 miles off the Mississippi coast. It is federally protected, a federally protected barrier island. It's pristine sand. It's wild. It's uninhabited. There's no shelter. There's no facilities, no drinking water, no communications. Just a good place to go with your friends and hang out and get away from everything and just be. I said this the other day. This reminds me a bit of the celebrations, if you will. Remember the TV or the movie American Pie, the summer before everybody goes off to life. Youth is done. You're now going into adulthood, into college life.
