Did the Initial Investigation Miss Critical Evidence in Nolan Wells

Investigative steps: First, I would want a single, verified master timeline.Not a media timeline. Not a social-media timeline. An investigative timeline supported by records.Second, I would want every person who traveled with Nolan interviewed separately, more than once if necessary.Third, I would want every available phone and boat-navigation system preserved and forensically examined.Fourth, I would want the original autopsy evidence independently reviewed by another board-certified forensic pathologist.Fifth, I would want marine experts to conduct a drift analysis.Sixth, I would want all people identified in photographs taken near Nolan during his final known hours.Seventh, I would want investigators to determine whether Nolan was visibly intoxicated, injured, distressed, arguing, swimming, or preparing to board a boat.Eighth, I would want the complete chain of custody for Nolan’s phone, keys, clothing, andpersonal property.And finally, I would avoid publicly classifying this as either an accident or a homicide until the toxicology, digital evidence, pathology, and witness accounts had been reconciled.
