New audio released following Nolan Wells disappearance doesn't show 'anything nefarious': retired FBI agent

Nolan Wells, an 18‑year‑old, went missing on July 4 after a boat trip to Horn Island off Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. Search teams looked for two days before a National Parks Service ranger found his remains on July 6. His friends returned to the mainland without him. A retired FBI agent reviewed newly released audio and said it shows nothing nefarious.
