After he spoke, a separate attorney took the stage, then Al Sharpton, then Wells’ mom. Christine Wonsley explained that a friend of hers picked up her son’s cellular phone “from where it was.” And provided it to her and her husband. Amid this, her son’s friends noticed that his Snapchat location was displayed otherwise from what Christine was shown on Life360.
From there, they ventured to a separate location, a house, where Nolan’s automotive was. At that time, Elmore took the stage. He explained that a couple of of Nolan’s friends were at the house, and things became “tense.”
“‘I want you guys to calm down. Don’t do that to me immediately,” Elmore recalled telling them.
Elmore explained that at that time, considered one of the boys who traveled to Horn Island along with his son got here out of a bedroom. When he asked for his son’s automotive keys, the teenager allegedly said he didn’t know where the keys were.

Per the daddy, they walked a “pretty nice stretch” before circling the island within the boat. And never saw his son’s body. Not even within the spot where it was ultimately found.
“And on the trip there, there was a family that stayed the night on the island. So if he was left, he would’ve saw that family on the island… and he would’ve had help,” he explained.
At that time, Crump questioned why Wells’ body would have allegedly reappeared on July 6. This, as a substitute of it being sighted on July 5. Moreover, Rev. Al Sharpton noted that if Wells was there for an prolonged time, someone would have saw him.
