Best friend claims Wells was urged onto boat before disappearance on Gulf Coast island

An 18-year-old Mississippi teen, Nolan Wells, vanished after a July 4 boat trip to Horn Island. A friend who says he was Wells’s best friend claims Wells was repeatedly told to get on the boat before departure, and the boat suffered bilge pump problems before being towed away. Wells’s body was found two days later, and his family has raised questions about the return of his phone and keys. Autopsy results are undetermined, with a grand jury review pending; investigators have not ruled out foul play or determined a cause of death.
