Who Killed Nolan Wells’ Phone Examination Deal?
The family agreed. The DA agreed. A joint forensic examination of Nolan Wells’ phone at the Digital Forensics Lab at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. Both sides’ experts in the room, possibly the FBI. Then a month went by without a date being set, and the DA sent a letter: hand over the phone in 48 hours.
The phone had already been through civilian hands. Nolan’s mother and her sister opened both Snapchat accounts before any forensic protocol existed and found them empty. Meanwhile, the three friends who were with Nolan on Horn Island turned over their own devices to the FBI without being asked twice.
Forensic experts say the longer that phone sits unexamined, the more data Snapchat and WhatsApp purge from their servers. The state autopsy is sealed. A grand jury is supposedly reviewing the case. And the phone that might answer what happened on July 4 has not been touched by a single forensic tool.
Eric Faddis, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, breaks down who is responsible for the collapsed deal and whether the evidence can still be recovered.
