Ben Crump Questions Nolan Wells Drowning Theory — photo 3 of 5

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, representing the family of Nolan Wells, has cast doubt on the theory that the 18-year-old drowned during a Fourth of July celebration in Mississippi. According to the lawyer, Nolan was a skilled swimmer — he took swimming lessons as a child and had visited Horn Island before, so he would not have been lost or disoriented.
