Nolan Wells’ body will be flown more than 800 miles for an independent autopsy — as his family’s lawyer revealed they have concerns about “deleted messages” on his cell phone.
Wells, an 18-year-old college football player, was found dead on Monday days after he vanished on a Fourth of July boating trip to Horn Island, Mississippi, with his friends — who left the island without him , according to police.
His family have since retained the services of prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is flying Wells’ body to Washington DC for an autopsy as part of independent investigation into the teen’s death , which he claims is full of “contradictions.”
Authorities say 18-year-old Nolan Wells was last seen Saturday around 3 p.m.

Wells’ pals told police he wanted to stay on the island, where he was last seen talking with a girl, but “they took his cell phone,” Crump told ABC News.
“That’s not adding up to them.
The fact that when the family gets the cell phone back … they’re saying they are trying to understand why there are deleted messages and so it’s very concerning to them.”

The woman who he was last seen speaking to around 3 p.m.
Saturday had said that after they talked “Nolan said he was going back to the boat,” Crump said.
“And then the boys on the boat said, ‘No, Nolan told them he was going to stay with her.’
And so they are conflicting.
She’s saying he went and got on the boat.
They saying he didn’t get on the boat.
So which is it?”
he asked.
