OCEAN SPRINGS, Mississippi –– Nolan Wells’ self-described “best friend,” who was on the fateful Fourth of July boat trip with him before he went missing, has spoken out for the first time about rumors blaming him for the tragic teen’s death. Wells, 18, vanished during the visit to Horn Island, ten miles off Mississippi’s Gulf Coast, and was found dead two days later. Questions from Wells’ parents and online amateur sleuths have dogged the teenage football star’s pals — about why they left him behind and why they were allegedly in possession of his phone and keys.
