Nolan Wells, a teen from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, was found dead in the water on the northwest end of Horn Island on July 6. He went missing on July 4 after taking a boat trip to the island with friends. The group's friends, Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo, and Morgan Seymour, have expressed regret over their decision to go to Horn Island on the Fourth of July, stating they wish they would have never gone.
They believe Wells would still be alive if they had stayed home. Each of the friends separately shared their thoughts on the tragedy and the allegations that followed. Hudson expressed that he thinks about what could have been done differently daily, adding that Wells was like a brother to the group. Pitalo emphasized that their friendship was not racist, while Seymour criticized the media for jumping to conclusions and pushing theories without allowing local officials to investigate.
The friends also disputed the theory that Wells was aboard their sinking boat when someone called for help. They pointed to a video showing the boat during the call, stating that Wells was not present.
