His body was recovered on Monday near the area where he had last been seen alive.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter previously said Wells was last seen \u201ctalking to a girl\u201d on the island and that, based on the investigation so far, \u201che chose to stay there.\u201d However, she revealed in a statement that after they were finished talking, he said he was going back to the boat. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>A viral video appeared to show a heated argument near the shoreline shortly before Wells disappeared. Investigators have not confirmed the authenticity of the footage or whether Wells was involved, but Ledbetter has urged anyone who witnessed an argument or unusual activity that day to come forward.<\/p>\n<p>Ashlee Cole, a Jackson County judge whose son was among the friends on the trip, addressed the growing speculation in a Facebook statement. Cole said the group left the island around 4:30 p.m. after their boat began taking on water due to a bilge pump issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNolan made a decision to stay on the island and return inland later with another group of friends,\u201d Cole wrote, adding that her son fully cooperated with investigators and last saw Wells around 3 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3277\">Taco Bell Pulls Ingredients as \u2018Explosive\u2019 Parasite Outbreak Spreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The teen\u2019s family has retained prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who said they are seeking answers about what happened in Wells\u2019 final hours.
