Mississippi — Attorney Ben Crump has shared a new photo he claims challenges the timeline of 18-year-old Nolan Wells’ death during a Fourth of July boating trip to Horn Island. Meanwhile, the Jackson County Sheriff is urging caution as the investigation into the teen’s final moments continues.

The image, allegedly from a pool party on the mainland, has fueled speculation, but reports indicate it may have been taken earlier. Wells’ family, represented by Crump, continues to question the circumstances of his death after his body was found two days later. An independent autopsy is underway.

The sheriff has emphasized that the probe should not be rushed amid conflicting accounts from friends and online theories. Wells’ parents say the details do not align with their son’s character, prompting calls for full transparency.
