For the first time since their son's body was recovered, Christine and Elmore Wonsley sat down and spoke publicly about what happened to 18-year-old Nolan Wells on Horn Island, Mississippi. Investigators say Nolan chose to stay behind after his friends left by boat on July 4th. His parents say that's not who their son was — and they say his phone came back to them with messages missing from it.
This is the full breakdown of their interview: the timeline, the contradictions, the disputed video, and the questions legal analysts say still haven't been answered. No cause of death has been officially confirmed, and no charges have been filed.
