Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 0:06Speaker 2: The Nolan Wells All top seat fere are this as
- 0:11Speaker 2: the FBI swoops in good evening. I'm Nancy Grace, this
- 0:15Speaker 2: is Crime Stories. I want to thank you for being
- 0:17Speaker 2: with us. I find it very difficult to believe that
- 0:28Speaker 2: not one but two medical examples cannot figure.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Out why he had.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Deep red subcutaneous marquings.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Preliminary findings and this is significant.
- 0:49Speaker 4: Focal area of red discoloration and the soft tissue of
- 0:56Speaker 4: the back of the head the ocipitar region. He said,
- 1:00Speaker 4: the idiology is unknown at this time. He said the
- 1:06Speaker 4: body was received after the initial autopsy. He said the
- 1:11Speaker 4: body had marked decom decompensation. Another limitation faced by this
- 1:18Speaker 4: forensic pathologist was the absence of the anterior internal next structures.
- 1:26Speaker 4: The trachea and the laryngaal cartilage, the thyroid horn, and
- 1:34Speaker 4: the hyoid bone were not received with the body.
- 1:40Speaker 3: So he said that the throat.
- 1:47Speaker 4: Was not received with the body when he got Nolan
- 1:53Speaker 4: Wells's body in Washington, d C.
- 1:56Speaker 3: To perform the second autopsy.
- 1:58Speaker 5: The only question that we have is what happened to
- 2:01Speaker 5: our son.
- 2:03Speaker 2: That that is the only question.
- 2:07Speaker 5: We have consistently been degraded by the public. There's been
- 2:13Speaker 5: questions about our parenting, our go fundme, this, that, and other.
- 2:19Speaker 2: I've been called a racist.
- 2:20Speaker 5: I am a health care provider and I take my
- 2:23Speaker 5: job very seriously. I love everyone, and it's just.
- 2:31Speaker 2: It's been difficult for us.
- 2:33Speaker 5: But we are leaning into our faith, leaning into one another,
- 2:38Speaker 5: also leaning into all of you.
- 2:41Speaker 2: You were saying family attorney Ben Crump, followed by Nolan
- 2:45Speaker 2: Wells's mother speaking, Dear Lord in Heaven, what is wrong
- 2:50Speaker 2: with people? If this were your child? What you want
- 2:55Speaker 2: to know? What happened? He goes out with friends, they
- 2:59Speaker 2: all come back, He's dead. I don't understand the hate
- 3:05Speaker 2: directed toward Nolan's family and to everyone looking for answers
- 3:12Speaker 2: at this hour. I don't think anyone is guilty, but
- 3:16Speaker 2: I do know that there is a conflict, a conflict
- 3:22Speaker 2: in the stories, and we are not stopping until we
- 3:27Speaker 2: know what happened to Nolan Wells.
- 3:30Speaker 1: So you can send all the.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Hate and vitriol you want have at it. That from
- 3:37Speaker 2: our friends over at NAACP straight out to Joseph Scott Morgan.
- 3:44Speaker 2: We've got an all star panel lined up to analyze
- 3:46Speaker 2: what's happening. At this hour, as we are learning, the
- 3:49Speaker 2: FBI has swooped into this investigation, and that is not
- 3:54Speaker 2: disparaging local law and enforcement, although they did apparently jump
- 3:57Speaker 2: the gun at the get go and say no foul places. Inspector,
- 4:00Speaker 2: Will I suspect foul play because I don't know any differently,
- 4:04Speaker 2: maybe it will turn out to all be an accident,
- 4:07Speaker 2: but as of right now, we need a full on investigation.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Joe Scott Morgan, before I give you a very very
- 4:15Speaker 2: long intro, bio, where's the throat? I know we have
- 4:22Speaker 2: deep red markings on the occipital bone that's in the
- 4:27Speaker 2: back of the Thank you. This is directly from the autopsy.
- 4:31Speaker 2: We want you to see what the family has seen.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Don't you think, Joe Scott Morgan, that the second medical
- 4:39Speaker 2: examiner might need the throat to figure out what happened?
- 4:43Speaker 2: I mean, Joe Scott, It's on fire claims that Noah
- 4:49Speaker 2: Wills had been lynched, that he had been strangled asphyxiated.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Do I believe lynching occurred? No, I do not believe that,
- 5:02Speaker 2: but I do know I need to see the neck.
- 5:06Speaker 6: Yeah, and let me tell you where the neck is.
- 5:10Speaker 6: The organs of the neck as it's referred to. These
- 5:14Speaker 6: neck structures are actually being held by the Mississippi State
- 5:17Speaker 6: Medical Examiner's Office, and they don't just arbitrarily hold things
- 5:21Speaker 6: like this, Nancy. This is something that would commonly go
- 5:24Speaker 6: with the body when the body is released. So I
- 5:27Speaker 6: deduce the fact that they have seen something there that
- 5:30Speaker 6: they're trying to hold onto from an evidentiary value. Remember,
- 5:33Speaker 6: the state still has an ongoing investigation in this case,
- 5:36Speaker 6: and they see evidentiary value in this. And yes, I
- 5:40Speaker 6: know that the second autopsy pro sector up in DC
- 5:45Speaker 6: would have liked to have seen this, but he understands
- 5:48Speaker 6: this why they would retain it, and it is being retained.
- 5:52Speaker 6: I can promise you that, as are other tissue samples
- 5:56Speaker 6: you know. But the problem is is that when you
- 5:58Speaker 6: get into the structure in the neck, one of the
- 6:00Speaker 6: things you're trying to assess is was this a drowning? Also,
- 6:05Speaker 6: is there any kind of trauma? If people will just
- 6:07Speaker 6: put their hands right here in the middle line of
- 6:08Speaker 6: your neck, you'll feel that kind of cartilaginous body there.
- 6:11Speaker 6: That's cartilage, right, that can be fractured. Need I remind
- 6:16Speaker 6: you Epstein, right, So you have to examine this also
- 6:20Speaker 6: here's our word, Nancy. They're talking about the hioid is
- 6:25Speaker 6: missing as well. So they don't have that mean.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Joe Scott Morgan, because show me, Joe Scott, you and
- 6:32Speaker 2: I hyroid. We know what it is, because you and
- 6:34Speaker 2: I have handled a ton of asphyxiation, ligature and manuals triangulations.
- 6:39Speaker 2: You name it, hyroid. Explain so different.
- 6:42Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's very very far up the neck, Nancy.
- 6:45Speaker 6: And one of the things that happens is that with
- 6:48Speaker 6: the hyroid, it's generally only traumatized as a result of
- 6:53Speaker 6: direct pressure that's generally applied by a throttling event or
- 6:57Speaker 6: a CEA clamp like this, throttling meaning like this, So
- 7:01Speaker 6: manual strangulation and an outlayer here is literature strangulation, but
- 7:06Speaker 6: primarily hands on. So they're looking for little fractures in
- 7:10Speaker 6: here all along the way. So that has to be
- 7:12Speaker 6: dissected along with these other there's a couple of other
- 7:16Speaker 6: structures that you look at as well. They've held onto
- 7:19Speaker 6: this for some reason. I don't have the answer for that,
- 7:22Speaker 6: but I can tell you it's being preserved. I don't
- 7:24Speaker 6: know if they're getting further consultation on their end. That
- 7:27Speaker 6: is the state, and I'm sure that stop.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Stop stop, Joe Scott. You're giving me so much information.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Let me tell everybody, if they don't know who you are,
- 7:42Speaker 2: why you're here tonight, Okay. Joe Scott Morgan is a
- 7:47Speaker 2: death investigator. He has investigated over ten thousand death scenes
- 7:51Speaker 2: of all natures. You've only got a few choices. You've
- 7:53Speaker 2: got homicide, suicide, accident, natural causes like a heart attack,
- 7:58Speaker 2: and unexplained tonight, we've got who unexplained medical examiners reports.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Why we don't have the lungs in a potential drowning case.
- 8:09Speaker 2: Why we don't have the neck in a potentially, as
- 8:12Speaker 2: you said, throttling case. Why those are the two main
- 8:17Speaker 2: things I want to see. Joe Scott Morgan Professor Forensics,
- 8:21Speaker 2: Jacksonville State University with a world class criminal procedure department.
- 8:28Speaker 2: I've toured it myself. He's the author of Looved Beneath
- 8:32Speaker 2: My Feet on Amazon, and he is the star of
- 8:34Speaker 2: hit podcast Body Bags with Joe Scott Morgan and so
- 8:37Speaker 2: much more. But that would take the whole program. Joe
- 8:40Speaker 2: Scott really with allegations floating, very incendiary allegations of lynchings,
- 8:49Speaker 2: of throttlings of ligatures. The main thing I want to
- 8:52Speaker 2: see the lungs and the neck, and they're both missing.
- 8:58Speaker 2: I have a problem.
- 9:00Speaker 6: Well, I don't know that the lungs are necessarily missing.
- 9:03Speaker 6: Let me tell you how this works. They have done
- 9:05Speaker 6: sections of the lungs at the Emmy's office in Mississippi. Now,
- 9:10Speaker 6: the one thing that is included in this report relative
- 9:14Speaker 6: to the second, the second autopsy that's been released, is
- 9:18Speaker 6: that the doctor here, who is a fantastic doctor, highly credentialed,
- 9:23Speaker 6: knows what he is doing. Former chief medical Examiner for DC.
- 9:27Speaker 6: He is stating that he has taken sample tissue samples.
- 9:32Speaker 6: He repeats this over and over again in the report.
- 9:34Speaker 6: He submitted this for his own histology. Why is that important? Well,
- 9:38Speaker 6: if you get into the lungs, that lung tissue and
- 9:41Speaker 6: he can identify it even in it, I'm going to
- 9:43Speaker 6: be real graphic here. It arrived in a bag, okay,
- 9:46Speaker 6: So he would have to pick through this, find lung
- 9:48Speaker 6: tissue in there, and then sample that and he's going
- 9:52Speaker 6: to be looking microscopically for signs of drowning there and
- 9:55Speaker 6: he'll make his own assessment. One of the things I'm
- 9:58Speaker 6: concerned about nance, and I hope that they did this
- 10:02Speaker 6: down in Mississippi, is that when they do this initial examination,
- 10:06Speaker 6: did they do die tom testing, which is you're looking
- 10:10Speaker 6: for these little bits of algae that are distinct to
- 10:13Speaker 6: both fresh water and salt water, and if you find
- 10:16Speaker 6: that within the system, that's also an indication that the
- 10:20Speaker 6: individual may have been submerged and taken on water. So
- 10:24Speaker 6: right now we've got a lot of questions. But as
- 10:26Speaker 6: the second doctor says, this is all still pending investigation.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Gray.
- 10:40Speaker 2: I'm trying to digest and make sense of everything Joe
- 10:44Speaker 2: Scott Morgan just told me. But what I know is
- 10:48Speaker 2: that I don't have the lungs and a potential drowning,
- 10:51Speaker 2: and I don't have the neck and a potential throttling
- 10:55Speaker 2: as he called it. And again, Joe Scott, we don't
- 10:59Speaker 2: have having a of any strangulation, be it manual or ligature,
- 11:03Speaker 2: except that deep red discoloration. And I read in the
- 11:12Speaker 2: autopsy report it was about twelve by eight. How can
- 11:17Speaker 2: that be? Explain to me what they're talking about?
- 11:21Speaker 6: Yeah, can we please put that that drawing up that
- 11:23Speaker 6: the doc rendered there? You know something interesting about that
- 11:27Speaker 6: that Mark Nancy. This thing has got kind of as
- 11:30Speaker 6: he has drawn it out here, that red indication that
- 11:33Speaker 6: he's done with a pen on this anatomical diagram. And
- 11:36Speaker 6: you see that's got what is referred to as kind
- 11:39Speaker 6: of specific margins, doesn't it. It almost appears as though
- 11:42Speaker 6: there is a pattern there, and it extends if folks
- 11:45Speaker 6: at home will take their hand and put it on
- 11:47Speaker 6: that kind of bony prominence in the back of your
- 11:49Speaker 6: head that's called your occiput. Okay, that's where the eccipital
- 11:53Speaker 6: bone is. So it looks like it's just beneath there.
- 11:56Speaker 6: So right along that edge, this thing's got margins. It
- 11:59Speaker 6: almost looks like it could potentially have a pattern. Hard
- 12:03Speaker 6: to say, but do you see how he has it
- 12:05Speaker 6: drawn out there, It's almost like a rectangular shape. When
- 12:09Speaker 6: you talk about decomposition, which he does extensively here, and
- 12:12Speaker 6: he says he can't make a full assessment because of
- 12:14Speaker 6: the status of the decomposition. Decomposition is what's called diffuse.
- 12:18Speaker 6: That means it kind of spreads out randomly what he
- 12:21Speaker 6: has drawn there, at least from his estimation there or
- 12:26Speaker 6: his rendering that he's done there. Puts margins on this thing.
- 12:30Speaker 6: You got to top end a bottom end and he
- 12:32Speaker 6: got sides.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Okay, you know all that said, What does it mean?
- 12:38Speaker 2: Because to me, doctor Kendall Crowns, who I respect deeply,
- 12:42Speaker 2: by the way suggesting it suggested it was blood pooling,
- 12:46Speaker 2: I'm not buying that because it's nowhere else. We don't
- 12:49Speaker 2: see that anywhere else on the body. Hey, Caitlin Becker
- 12:52Speaker 2: joining me, Senior national correspondent at New York Post. She's
- 12:55Speaker 2: a star of New York Postcast, like podcast, but postcast. Caitlin.
- 13:02Speaker 2: Thanks for being with us tonight. Caitlin. I had it
- 13:04Speaker 2: out with doctor Kenda Crown's yesterday. He has superior knowledge,
- 13:07Speaker 2: so I was at a disadvantage. But I'm still sticking
- 13:09Speaker 2: to my guns. I don't see how the blood in
- 13:13Speaker 2: his body can pull in one location on the whole
- 13:19Speaker 2: back of his body, even if he's laying on his back.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Hold hold, hold, Brian Thrasher, Vice President United Cajun Navy. Brian,
- 13:29Speaker 2: isn't it true that when Nolan was found he was
- 13:33Speaker 2: face down, repeat, face down on the beach just at
- 13:38Speaker 2: the water's edge. And that's let's see the aerial video.
- 13:41Speaker 2: When I'm talking to Brian, so everybody can see what
- 13:43Speaker 2: he's talking about. Go ahead, Brian, yes, ma'am.
- 13:47Speaker 7: He was a face down on the beach right at
- 13:50Speaker 7: the water's edge. I'm not sure if he was spotted
- 13:54Speaker 7: still floating and they brought him in or if he
- 13:57Speaker 7: washed up right there, But I can only describe where
- 13:59Speaker 7: I saw him as we flew over the island.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Brian Trasher, based on the photo that I received from
- 14:05Speaker 2: an undisclosed source, he was face down, almost as if
- 14:10Speaker 2: if he were asleep, with one leg slightly out to
- 14:14Speaker 2: the side. Okay, face down, do you agree with that?
- 14:18Speaker 8: Brian, yes, ma'am, that's correct.
- 14:22Speaker 2: Okay. Back to Caitlin Becker, senior national correspondent, New York
- 14:27Speaker 2: Post of New York postcast, Caitlin, what can you tell
- 14:32Speaker 2: me about claims that his body was sent to the
- 14:39Speaker 2: second autopsy, the independent autopsy face down?
- 14:45Speaker 9: There seems to be a lot of questions about how
- 14:49Speaker 9: Nolan's body was received, found sent If he was sent
- 14:53Speaker 9: these down, that also doesn't make sense to me for
- 14:56Speaker 9: the claim that it would be blood pulling in the
- 14:59Speaker 9: back of his head, because if he's faced down, wouldn't
- 15:01Speaker 9: flood pool just by nature of gravity this way, if
- 15:05Speaker 9: he was found face down.
- 15:07Speaker 10: It just doesn't make a lot of sense.
- 15:09Speaker 9: But as I was listening to you and Joseph Scott
- 15:11Speaker 9: Morgan talk, I mean, I don't know the terrain here,
- 15:14Speaker 9: but if they're keeping the throat for a parental throttling,
- 15:17Speaker 9: and you see this mark on the back of the head,
- 15:19Speaker 9: if you're thinking in terms of someone's head pressed up
- 15:22Speaker 9: against it, if there's something behind my head and you're
- 15:24Speaker 9: pressing me this way, But by not knowing the manner
- 15:28Speaker 9: or cause of death, we're kind of jumping to a
- 15:31Speaker 9: conclusion there. So it just it just seems like every
- 15:34Speaker 9: single layer there is more questions than answers, And the
- 15:37Speaker 9: mark on the back of the head and not seeing
- 15:39Speaker 9: in the autopsy report that there were really marks or
- 15:42Speaker 9: signs of trauma anywhere else was really particularly curious, and
- 15:46Speaker 9: why just there, what caused it? And we don't really
- 15:50Speaker 9: have those answers about whether or not there was significant
- 15:53Speaker 9: trauma to the flip of that to the front, because
- 15:55Speaker 9: as you said, Brote wasn't sent for the second autopy.
- 15:59Speaker 2: So do you just Scott Morgan, I'm going to bring
- 16:00Speaker 2: it in the rest of the panel. In just one moment,
- 16:03Speaker 2: Joe Scott how could the deep reddened markings at the
- 16:11Speaker 2: back of the back of the head of the accipital,
- 16:14Speaker 2: how could that come from the blood sinking down post mortem?
- 16:21Speaker 2: It just first he was face down, so it's not
- 16:23Speaker 2: it would sink to the blood would go to his face.
- 16:26Speaker 2: That was the would be the lowest point. But after that,
- 16:31Speaker 2: after he's dead for a period of days, I don't
- 16:33Speaker 2: see how the blood could then continue to pull in
- 16:35Speaker 2: a different direction. And we are getting reports that he
- 16:38Speaker 2: was sent to this exactly to the second autopsy, face down.
- 16:45Speaker 2: I find that hard to believe it. That's according to reports.
- 16:49Speaker 6: Yeah, and so understand this with with decomposition, Okay, it's
- 16:56Speaker 6: like I said, it's going to be diffused. And this
- 16:59Speaker 6: second autopsy, I don't know if people are aware of this,
- 17:01Speaker 6: but you can read through the report itself, and it's
- 17:05Speaker 6: very let's see, it's very very graphic in the sense
- 17:09Speaker 6: that this doctor that did that, did this case, that
- 17:14Speaker 6: did the follow up, he did such an extensive dissection here,
- 17:19Speaker 6: I'm talking about stuff that we don't normally do at autopsy.
- 17:24Speaker 6: He's done the back, he's done the buttocks, he's done
- 17:28Speaker 6: the backs of the legs, the arms, the hands, even
- 17:31Speaker 6: the back of the head. He went. He took this
- 17:33Speaker 6: even further than the people in Mississippi did. And this
- 17:38Speaker 6: is something that we normally do, so folks understand, this
- 17:41Speaker 6: is something we normally do with an in custody death.
- 17:44Speaker 3: All right?
- 17:45Speaker 6: Uh where where it is this extensive? And he doesn't
- 17:49Speaker 6: see anything from a himorrhagic standpoint like direct trauma. The
- 17:53Speaker 6: big question is this pattern on the back of his head.
- 17:57Speaker 6: And I'm calling it a pattern because of the way
- 17:59Speaker 6: he's demons traded this with his diagram on the back
- 18:03Speaker 6: of this thing. And he doesn't go into great detail
- 18:05Speaker 6: about that in the autopsy report, So how did it
- 18:08Speaker 6: get there?
- 18:09Speaker 2: What I want to know is all these witnesses are
- 18:13Speaker 2: right there, Brian Trasher. Don't like planes have a tail number.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Can't you identify who these boats are by their markings,
- 18:25Speaker 2: by their numbers, by their identification. They've got names written
- 18:29Speaker 2: on the side, they've got tail numbers, so to speak.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Have all of these people been brought in? I mean,
- 18:35Speaker 2: tell me how to identify a boat and how to
- 18:38Speaker 2: locate the driver and bring them in for questioning about
- 18:42Speaker 2: what happened that day, Because listen, Brian, the friends say
- 18:46Speaker 2: we left him with Katie. Katie apparently has been found
- 18:51Speaker 2: and says, no, he left with his friends. Okay, right there.
- 18:55Speaker 2: I've got a problem. How did everybody leave Gilligan on
- 18:59Speaker 2: the island waving hey, I'm here, and they all left him.
- 19:05Speaker 2: I find that hard to believe. I've got to find
- 19:08Speaker 2: out what precipitated him going into the water and how
- 19:13Speaker 2: that fits in with the marketing on the back of
- 19:16Speaker 2: his neck. Do you see where I'm going? Treasher?
- 19:19Speaker 7: Absolutely, and yes to answer your first question, you know
- 19:22Speaker 7: some of these boats just by the names people that
- 19:25Speaker 7: name the boats, and you can if you can detect
- 19:28Speaker 7: registration numbers, if it's registered in the state of Mississippi, that's
- 19:32Speaker 7: easy to find. I'm told that over sixty people have
- 19:34Speaker 7: been interviewed by law enforcement. I don't know who they
- 19:36Speaker 7: are or how they were brought in, but there was
- 19:38Speaker 7: a lot of interviews that have been conducted, and I'm
- 19:40Speaker 7: assuming there's going to be more. Yeah, with regards to
- 19:43Speaker 7: you know, what happened. That's that's always been the question.
- 19:45Speaker 7: That's why his parents want to know. There's just just
- 19:49Speaker 7: absolute black hole. From about four thirty pm on July
- 19:51Speaker 7: fourth until he washed up Monday morning, where nobody seems
- 19:55Speaker 7: to know anything. Nobody seemed to have seen anything. There's
- 19:57Speaker 7: conflicting stories, as you pointed out, from his friends and
- 20:01Speaker 7: people that saw him that day, about who he was
- 20:04Speaker 7: supposed to leave with. If you want to stay back
- 20:06Speaker 7: all that, it's all hearsay, it's all secondhand. And so yeah,
- 20:10Speaker 7: there is a massive hole in the story. And that's
- 20:14Speaker 7: why this has gotten national attention that it's gotten. As
- 20:17Speaker 7: far as the markings on his head, I mean, I
- 20:19Speaker 7: was told by some of the people who recovered the
- 20:22Speaker 7: body that it was obviously he had come in contact
- 20:25Speaker 7: with marine life while he was in the water. I'm
- 20:27Speaker 7: not sure if that's possible explanation of those markings.
- 20:30Speaker 8: I'm just telling you what I thought, So experts can wait. O, Brian, Brian,
- 20:35Speaker 8: hold on, Just Scott, I'm going to try to get
- 20:37Speaker 8: a quick answer from you on because it's valid.
- 20:41Speaker 2: What Treashure just said is valid because if there were
- 20:46Speaker 2: if his body had been attacked by marine life, you know, fish, turtles, whatever,
- 20:51Speaker 2: that would be all over the body. What we're talking
- 20:54Speaker 2: about is deep reddening of tissue, subcutaneous tissue on the
- 20:57Speaker 2: back of the head like the rest of the body.
- 21:01Speaker 2: So that is not the same as the decomp on
- 21:04Speaker 2: the rest of the body. I mean, why is it
- 21:07Speaker 2: so hard for everybody to get we've got a problem
- 21:11Speaker 2: with the back of the head. It's marked unlike any
- 21:15Speaker 2: other part of his body. And you said something very significant,
- 21:20Speaker 2: Joe Scott Morgan, that the original medical examiner kept the
- 21:24Speaker 2: throat for a reason. Did he she keep the hand,
- 21:28Speaker 2: the fingers, the toes, No, because they weren't probative. They
- 21:32Speaker 2: didn't prove anything. The neck proved something. What what did
- 21:35Speaker 2: the neck prove? That's where I'm going help me.
- 21:39Speaker 6: Yeah, well, either to include or exclude any kind of
- 21:42Speaker 6: trauma that could have impeded his ability to breathe. There's
- 21:45Speaker 6: another part to this, Nancy, that I forgot to mention.
- 21:48Speaker 6: Relative to the neck, we have what are called strap
- 21:52Speaker 6: muscles that kind of lay over the center part of
- 21:55Speaker 6: the neck. What do we look for there, Well, that's
- 21:58Speaker 6: also where we see him relative to any kind of
- 22:02Speaker 6: pressure that's applied there, you'll see those. The doctor doesn't
- 22:05Speaker 6: mention anything about strap muscles because I think that those
- 22:07Speaker 6: were probably retained as well. Now back to the sea life.
- 22:10Speaker 6: I'm from Louisiana. I can tell you what type of
- 22:13Speaker 6: sea life would have affected his body, and if the
- 22:17Speaker 6: body was right there on the shore, it would be crabs.
- 22:20Speaker 6: And the reason I know that is because this is
- 22:23Speaker 6: where they kind of feed, if you will, all right,
- 22:27Speaker 6: So you don't hear any mention by the second medical
- 22:31Speaker 6: examiner talking about any kind of degrading of the body
- 22:34Speaker 6: as a result of contact with marine life that's feasting
- 22:37Speaker 6: in post bortem state.
- 22:43Speaker 11: We had roughly twenty to thirty people coming on three
- 22:48Speaker 11: separate boats with us, and so we were all following
- 22:51Speaker 11: each other out there as one big group.
- 22:53Speaker 6: You know.
- 22:53Speaker 11: It wasn't just me and Nolan and a couple of
- 22:56Speaker 11: my buddies. There was twenty or thirty people spread out
- 22:59Speaker 11: where we all met at the dock before and then
- 23:01Speaker 11: we departed to go to Horne Island. It wasn't just
- 23:04Speaker 11: a couple of us, I mean we were there were
- 23:06Speaker 11: so many people we had to split up between three
- 23:07Speaker 11: votes and we all left and all got there at
- 23:10Speaker 11: the same time.
- 23:11Speaker 2: And that is from our friends. I've read the Officer
- 23:14Speaker 2: Tatum show, and that is Warren Hudson's an acquaintance of
- 23:18Speaker 2: Nolan Wells. He was in the Horn Island group. Are
- 23:22Speaker 2: you hearing what I'm hearing. Josh Coles Rude. I mean,
- 23:25Speaker 2: I don't know if this happened to you in law school,
- 23:26Speaker 2: but it makes you think differently out of that whole thing.
- 23:29Speaker 2: I heard this. Twenty to thirty witnesses. Twenty to thirty witnesses.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Josh Coles Rude, veteran trial lawyer, criminal defense attorney, former
- 23:39Speaker 2: assistant US Attorney, Founder, Coles Rude Law Offices, and star
- 23:44Speaker 2: podcast No Contest at Colesroodlawoffices dot Com. Twenty thirty witnesses.
- 23:50Speaker 2: That's what I just heard.
- 23:52Speaker 12: Absolutely, you know this is going to be a huge investigation.
- 23:57Speaker 12: It already is. You know, one of the questions that
- 24:00Speaker 12: I've seen online about the friends is that, you know,
- 24:05Speaker 12: why do they leave him? But let me ask you
- 24:08Speaker 12: something hard You know those that are saying that, you look,
- 24:11Speaker 12: we're talking about you know, we're not talking about hardened men.
- 24:14Speaker 12: These are teenagers, their kids. They're eighteen, nineteen years old
- 24:18Speaker 12: on the water on the fourth of July. And you
- 24:21Speaker 12: know what happens when a teenager experiences something traumatic. You know,
- 24:26Speaker 12: they freeze, they panic, they go numb. Sometimes they cry,
- 24:30Speaker 12: sometimes they don't. But you know what they're not they're
- 24:34Speaker 12: not experts at like dredging the waterways. And you know,
- 24:39Speaker 12: I know that the family wants answers from the friends,
- 24:43Speaker 12: you know, and I get that. And you know, one
- 24:46Speaker 12: of the family members said, you know, are they getting
- 24:48Speaker 12: their lies straight when they went back to the mainland
- 24:53Speaker 12: and called for a cab. But you know, we don't
- 24:57Speaker 12: know what happened yet. And one of the things that
- 24:59Speaker 12: I'm really looking forward to seeing is the data from
- 25:03Speaker 12: the cell phones, right because that'll tell us exactly where
- 25:07Speaker 12: everybody was at what point in time, and including hopefully
- 25:12Speaker 12: the victim. Now you know, that's another question. You know,
- 25:15Speaker 12: how did they obtain the victim's phone? Well, it was
- 25:18Speaker 12: in one of the hands of his friends, So how
- 25:20Speaker 12: did that come there? So, you know, there are a
- 25:23Speaker 12: lot of answers. There's a lot of questions here, Nancy,
- 25:25Speaker 12: that we need answers to. And right now, we don't
- 25:28Speaker 12: know if it was an accident, We don't know if
- 25:30Speaker 12: it was a death. We just don't know.
- 25:32Speaker 2: Caitlin Becker, who called who that night? Did Mom call
- 25:38Speaker 2: the friends, did the friends call the mom? How did
- 25:41Speaker 2: mom end up looking for Nolan?
- 25:45Speaker 9: It seems like Mom is on the case pretty immediately
- 25:51Speaker 9: when Nolan didn't, she had him on Life three sixties,
- 25:53Speaker 9: So I think that became the biggest kind of issue
- 25:57Speaker 9: of where's my son, where's his phone? And the only
- 26:00Speaker 9: think she could go off of is where's his phone,
- 26:02Speaker 9: which she could locate through kind of Life three sixty
- 26:05Speaker 9: where it was ping, So it seemed like she was
- 26:08Speaker 9: on the hunt for the phone there, and from all
- 26:10Speaker 9: of the accounts that we've been reporting on, the phones
- 26:14Speaker 9: were left in the boat because they didn't take them
- 26:16Speaker 9: to the shore. However, you can see all of those
- 26:19Speaker 9: people were back and forth on the boat, so clearly
- 26:21Speaker 9: they were using them, but the phone was on the
- 26:24Speaker 9: boat that went back without Nolan first, so it seems
- 26:29Speaker 9: that the friends took the phone with them to their house,
- 26:32Speaker 9: and then that is what happened with it between then
- 26:35Speaker 9: and when his mom got It seemed to be the
- 26:37Speaker 9: question of where it was and who was touching it,
- 26:42Speaker 9: who was using, what was done on it. But it
- 26:44Speaker 9: seems like the location on the Life three sixty is
- 26:48Speaker 9: how mom tracked down the phone when she realized that
- 26:53Speaker 9: her son wasn't where he needed to be.
- 26:55Speaker 2: So that night Nolan doesn't come home, Mom Christine starts
- 27:01Speaker 2: looking for him. She is a family nurse practitioner. She
- 27:07Speaker 2: starts looking for him. She looks on Life three sixty
- 27:10Speaker 2: and follows it. You can get that on Life three sixties.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Show me the route to the phone. And she did
- 27:18Speaker 2: that to the friend's house that had all been out
- 27:21Speaker 2: to Horn Island, and she's like, and she goes, where's
- 27:28Speaker 2: no one? His phone's here, but he's not here, and
- 27:33Speaker 2: they go, yeah, it's out there in the truck. So
- 27:35Speaker 2: they wait fifteen minutes to go get the phone and
- 27:38Speaker 2: come back with it. Everybody's just sitting there in the
- 27:41Speaker 2: dark watching TV. Nobody said, hey, where's no one? Nobody
- 27:46Speaker 2: said that until she came over looking for the phone.
- 27:51Speaker 9: Which could kind of point to if I'm hearing it, it
- 27:54Speaker 9: could kind of point to two things.
- 27:55Speaker 13: I know.
- 27:55Speaker 9: There is a plenty. There's a huge faction online saying
- 27:57Speaker 9: what are they doing? What are they covering up? What
- 27:59Speaker 9: are they doing? But then on the flip of that,
- 28:01Speaker 9: just to play Devil's advocate, if you don't think there's
- 28:04Speaker 9: anything wrong with your friend, if you assumed your pal
- 28:06Speaker 9: was in another boat with another group of friends, why
- 28:09Speaker 9: would you even think to be concerned about that? Until
- 28:11Speaker 9: his mom comes knocking at the door and says, where's
- 28:13Speaker 9: my son? So, I mean, like the teen behavior. It
- 28:16Speaker 9: reminds me so much of the teen or the young
- 28:20Speaker 9: people in the Idaho order can just looking at them
- 28:21Speaker 9: to be like, why are they not reacting the way
- 28:24Speaker 9: you would think someone would react in a situation.
- 28:27Speaker 10: And while the circumstances are so wildly different.
- 28:29Speaker 9: I think we have to remember that we're talking about,
- 28:32Speaker 9: you know, teenagers here and teenagers who were leaving in
- 28:35Speaker 9: a large group, who admittedly were drinking, who were part
- 28:38Speaker 9: partying in three separate boats. So I think it might
- 28:42Speaker 9: have been easy to lose track of one another. That
- 28:44Speaker 9: doesn't explain anything, though, That doesn't explain why no one
- 28:47Speaker 9: out of one person out of that twenty to thirty
- 28:49Speaker 9: said to themselves where the heck is Nolan. I mean,
- 28:52Speaker 9: if you and I were out with twenty to thirty
- 28:53Speaker 9: of our friends, someone at some point probably would have raised,
- 28:56Speaker 9: you know, scratched their head and said, where's Nancy?
- 28:58Speaker 10: Have you heard from Nancy all day? If it had
- 29:00Speaker 10: gone to that point of the night.
- 29:02Speaker 14: I assume his phone had a password. There are certain
- 29:04Speaker 14: things that you need the password to do, such as
- 29:07Speaker 14: delete activity. But if you don't have a password and
- 29:10Speaker 14: you pick up your phone. If you're touching the screen,
- 29:13Speaker 14: that leaves a trace. If you're trying to power it off,
- 29:16Speaker 14: that leaves a trace. So we should be able to
- 29:18Speaker 14: see people without a password trying to actively interact with
- 29:22Speaker 14: that phone as well as someone that has it. So
- 29:24Speaker 14: we would do a forensic acquisition, and that's really important here.
- 29:27Speaker 14: Someone just looking in the phone, you can get a glimpse,
- 29:30Speaker 14: but you can't see what's deleted and hiding below the surface.
- 29:33Speaker 14: We need a forensic acquisition to do that. We can
- 29:36Speaker 14: tell if it was just soft deleted, so like sitting
- 29:39Speaker 14: in a trash can or a hard delete. So if
- 29:42Speaker 14: you empty your trash on your phone and then you
- 29:44Speaker 14: go and throw it into a dumpster and the trash
- 29:46Speaker 14: is taken away, there is a log that tracks everything
- 29:50Speaker 14: also with timestamps on when that activity occurred. If you
- 29:53Speaker 14: get a full filesystem acquisition and I realized that's really nerdy,
- 29:57Speaker 14: but this is where acquisition and time to evidence matters.
- 30:00Speaker 14: Deleted data exists and sits there for a period of time,
- 30:05Speaker 14: so time to evidence is everything here. Apple's more forgiving,
- 30:08Speaker 14: and you have about thirty days with Android, you could
- 30:12Speaker 14: have just a few days until location artifacts are purged.
- 30:15Speaker 2: That's Heather Barnhart, digital forensics expert.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 30:29Speaker 2: To Dave Mac. I want to before we launch into
- 30:33Speaker 2: the phone tracking in the phone investigation, I want to
- 30:37Speaker 2: clarify something I understood that Warren Hudson, one of Nolan's friends,
- 30:45Speaker 2: called the mom around eleven oh seven, telling her Nolan
- 30:51Speaker 2: was missing. Now, which is it, did the mom call
- 30:54Speaker 2: the friends or follow the Life three sixty or did
- 30:58Speaker 2: the friend, Warren Hudson call the mom.
- 31:02Speaker 15: Christine Wansley, Nolan's mother, says she received a phone call
- 31:07Speaker 15: from Warren Hudson. Now she identified him by first name
- 31:11Speaker 15: during one of the press conferences and interviews. Okay, now
- 31:15Speaker 15: she has not disclosed what the entire details of that
- 31:18Speaker 15: call were, but we know that right after that conversation
- 31:23Speaker 15: from Warren calling Christine, that Christine contacted a friend who
- 31:28Speaker 15: had two sons who had also been with Nolan to
- 31:31Speaker 15: ask if they had seen him. It was after that
- 31:34Speaker 15: call that the family began checking Nolan's location through Life
- 31:38Speaker 15: three point sixty and snapchat, and that's where we end
- 31:41Speaker 15: up with the discrepancy of locations.
- 31:44Speaker 2: We also learned tonight the FBI has been called in.
- 31:49Speaker 10: Anything you know? Okay, are y'all?
- 31:52Speaker 16: Can I confirm that y'all our working with the FBI
- 31:54Speaker 16: with the case, yes, okay, Any other agencies that you're
- 31:57Speaker 16: working with at this time?
- 31:59Speaker 3: All right?
- 31:59Speaker 16: And is this is still under investigation?
- 32:01Speaker 6: Actively under investigation?
- 32:03Speaker 2: Okay?
- 32:03Speaker 16: So I was told by district attorney everything is going
- 32:05Speaker 16: through her office at this time and everything.
- 32:08Speaker 6: Else should be referenced to the attorney's office.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Okay, you know, Caitlin Becker joining me, Senior national correspondent,
- 32:14Speaker 2: New York Post. I just learned two very important things.
- 32:16Speaker 2: Number one, the FBI is involved why? And number two
- 32:22Speaker 2: at the outset, I understand that local law enforcement first
- 32:27Speaker 2: said that no foul play is suspected. It was a
- 32:31Speaker 2: simple drowning, if there is such a thing. But now
- 32:34Speaker 2: the FBI is in and everything's being referred to the
- 32:39Speaker 2: district attorney. Is that correct?
- 32:44Speaker 9: From what we understand, our reporting says the exact same
- 32:47Speaker 9: thing that the district attorney is dealing with. Everything this
- 32:50Speaker 9: is going to go to a grand jury, which we
- 32:53Speaker 9: understand is very.
- 32:53Speaker 10: Typical questionally in this area.
- 32:55Speaker 9: I think it's typical pretty much everywhere if you have
- 32:57Speaker 9: a suspicious, unnatural death, that something would go to a
- 33:00Speaker 9: brand jury. The local police do seem like they may
- 33:03Speaker 9: have jumped the gun in calling this a simple drowning
- 33:07Speaker 9: with however exactly that they worded it, you know, just
- 33:09Speaker 9: a drowning.
- 33:10Speaker 10: With no foul play suspective.
- 33:11Speaker 9: That doesn't say there was no foul play at all,
- 33:14Speaker 9: or there couldn't be, or they're not investigating. But to
- 33:16Speaker 9: just write this office no foul play suspected off the bat,
- 33:20Speaker 9: I think got everyone's kind of hackles up. And I
- 33:23Speaker 9: think that's a particularly something that the family didn't want
- 33:26Speaker 9: to hear. You have a strong swimmer, young guy, athletic
- 33:30Speaker 9: person who went.
- 33:31Speaker 10: Out, didn't come home, and no one.
- 33:34Speaker 9: Had saw him struggling. You didn't see him go in
- 33:36Speaker 9: the water and struggle. That's a simple drowning. We saw
- 33:39Speaker 9: someone go in, we try to help, they drown. That
- 33:42Speaker 9: to me is a case closed, simple drowning. But now
- 33:45Speaker 9: the FEDS are involved in the FBI is involved, perhaps
- 33:49Speaker 9: because there is more to it than it seems right.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Josh callsred, I got a question for you. The FBI
- 33:56Speaker 2: is now part of this investigation. That is significant. The
- 34:01Speaker 2: FBI is only brought in under certain circumstances, that is
- 34:05Speaker 2: within the state jurisdiction. And this thing has mushroomed from
- 34:10Speaker 2: no foul play suspected to the DA is handling all
- 34:15Speaker 2: of this, and I'd like to point out that the
- 34:17Speaker 2: sheriff was not responding. Well, guess what, everybody, when I
- 34:23Speaker 2: would be besieged by reporters when I was prosecuting case,
- 34:27Speaker 2: You're not at liberty to comment on an ongoing investigation.
- 34:32Speaker 2: As much as we on the outside looking in feel stymied,
- 34:36Speaker 2: I'm surprised the law enforcement officer even stopped to talk
- 34:40Speaker 2: to the journalist WDSU because they shouldn't be revealing evidence,
- 34:47Speaker 2: So don't make it look like he's hiding in his office.
- 34:51Speaker 2: He should not be revealing evidence. That said address. This
- 34:57Speaker 2: is now at the district attorney level, and the FBI
- 35:00Speaker 2: is in. That's what I need you for, Coles Rude.
- 35:03Speaker 12: Yeah, so great question. So let's separate the two. The
- 35:06Speaker 12: district attorney works for the state, the FBI works for
- 35:10Speaker 12: the US Attorney's office. Now, just because there's a homicide
- 35:14Speaker 12: does not make this a federal case. So ask yourselves,
- 35:17Speaker 12: why would the FBI be here? Well, there's two possible reasons.
- 35:20Speaker 12: Number one, we know that the family has hired a
- 35:24Speaker 12: very prominent civil rights attorney, and there might be a
- 35:28Speaker 12: civil rights component here, and civil rights always includes the
- 35:33Speaker 12: federal government. So if, for example, there is an allegation
- 35:38Speaker 12: that the local law enforcement didn't do something, or there's
- 35:41Speaker 12: a racial component to them not doing something, that of
- 35:45Speaker 12: course can bring in the US Attorney's office. The second
- 35:48Speaker 12: reason the FBI could be brought in is that this
- 35:52Speaker 12: small town just can't needs help with his resources, right,
- 35:56Speaker 12: they don't have the manpower for this type of investigation.
- 36:00Speaker 12: And we've already seen that they've had a couple of
- 36:01Speaker 12: missteps with the media, like you just said, where they
- 36:04Speaker 12: want to be closed lips lipped with the investigate without.
- 36:09Speaker 10: Giving some time.
- 36:10Speaker 2: Just missteps with the media. They said this was a
- 36:19Speaker 2: natural causes accident, no foul play. That's more than a misstep.
- 36:26Speaker 2: That's a CEOD cause of death, matter of death. Okay,
- 36:30Speaker 2: the FBI has been brought into work with law enforcement.
- 36:35Speaker 2: And you know what, doctor Bethany Marshall joining me, renowned
- 36:39Speaker 2: psychoanalystside of LA she's the author, She's on Bravo, she's
- 36:42Speaker 2: on Peacock Starving you hit podcast on the Counch with
- 36:46Speaker 2: doctor Bethany Marshall. You know, I don't like the way
- 36:48Speaker 2: Colsrude just said that they're from a small town they
- 36:52Speaker 2: need help. Well, you know what, not every jurisdiction is
- 36:56Speaker 2: New York, LA, Houston, Atlanta. They don't have this type
- 37:02Speaker 2: of investigation all the time. So I commend them for
- 37:07Speaker 2: bringing in the FBI. Okay, that said doctor Bethany, I
- 37:14Speaker 2: want to find out if every single person has been
- 37:17Speaker 2: brought in and questioned separately. I want to hear your
- 37:21Speaker 2: take on what you're seeing, Hey, Nancy.
- 37:26Speaker 13: In terms of poles Rute, he gets paid a lot
- 37:28Speaker 13: of money to muddy the waters, so at least he's
- 37:30Speaker 13: doing his job in there's very important behavioral evidence that
- 37:35Speaker 13: is not being discussed. I don't hear it online in
- 37:38Speaker 13: any news reports, and that is is their empathy for
- 37:43Speaker 13: the victim in a forensic interview. That's one of the
- 37:46Speaker 13: number one things we look for, is like, oh my god,
- 37:49Speaker 13: where did he go? Somehow we lost sight of him.
- 37:53Speaker 13: In the online chowder, there's a lot of digital evidence.
- 37:56Speaker 13: Here are the kids communicating back and forth saying, I
- 38:00Speaker 13: don't know, did we lose him?
- 38:02Speaker 2: What happened.
- 38:03Speaker 13: He was my best friend. I can't sleep, you know.
- 38:08Speaker 2: That is what we.
- 38:09Speaker 13: Want to look for in terms of innocence. In terms
- 38:13Speaker 13: of guilt, what we would look for is lack of
- 38:16Speaker 13: empathy towards the victim, like he was always drinking too much.
- 38:21Speaker 13: It's his fault, he didn't get on the boat. We
- 38:24Speaker 13: never liked him anyway, attempts to rationalize, attempts to form
- 38:30Speaker 13: a cohesive story amongst co conspirators.
- 38:34Speaker 10: That is going to come out in the.
- 38:36Speaker 13: Digital evidence, because at this point, I'm sure the investigators
- 38:42Speaker 13: have separated every possible perpetrator.
- 38:46Speaker 2: Jo Scott. Also missing in addition to the neck are
- 38:49Speaker 2: the lungs. Don't you think that would be an important
- 38:52Speaker 2: aspect of a potential drowning case.
- 38:56Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it is. And just so that we understand,
- 38:59Speaker 6: those lungs have been dissected. So there was an organ
- 39:02Speaker 6: bag that came with the body to DC, the attending
- 39:07Speaker 6: that the family retained actually did histo samples from all
- 39:11Speaker 6: of the tissues there. He even states that in his report. Now,
- 39:15Speaker 6: I think that what he is saying and what you
- 39:18Speaker 6: have to understand, there's no way after following an autopsy,
- 39:22Speaker 6: an initial autopsy that you can see the lungs intact.
- 39:26Speaker 6: They have to be dissected. They've been previously dissected. Those
- 39:29Speaker 6: lungs probably accompanied the body in that back, unless, of
- 39:34Speaker 6: course they've retained the lungs as well, and that remains
- 39:37Speaker 6: to be seen at this point.
- 39:39Speaker 2: Dave mac joining US Crime Stories investigative reporter. Can he
- 39:42Speaker 2: shed any light on it? Dave?
- 39:44Speaker 15: See, what we're saying is that doctor Roger Mitchell, who
- 39:48Speaker 15: was the independent pathologist doing the second autopsy on Nollan,
- 39:52Speaker 15: reported that he did not have access to the lungs
- 39:56Speaker 15: or airway structures when conducting. The family requested independent autom.
- 40:01Speaker 2: The lungs the neck very disturbing. They are critical. They've
- 40:07Speaker 2: got to be analyzed by the independent medical examiner. And
- 40:11Speaker 2: that's not saying the first medical examiner was wrong, but
- 40:15Speaker 2: that's going to hold the key to the cause and
- 40:18Speaker 2: manner of death, I believe. And back to you, Brian Trasher,
- 40:23Speaker 2: what can you tell me about an offer to the
- 40:26Speaker 2: family regarding cadaver dogs.
- 40:30Speaker 7: Yeah, so, you know, obviously the online chatter started right away.
- 40:34Speaker 7: People were coming up with all kind of bizarre theories
- 40:36Speaker 7: about how he was. You know, he came back to
- 40:38Speaker 7: the island. He took him back out there and bumped
- 40:40Speaker 7: them all this kind of stuff. So we just said, hey,
- 40:42Speaker 7: one of our top you know, canine teams happens to
- 40:45Speaker 7: be in Jackson, Mississippi. Jackson County, Mississippi, Jackson County. Canine
- 40:49Speaker 7: is their name. I said, we'll be happy to have
- 40:51Speaker 7: these cadaver dogs go over and inspect the boat. And
- 40:54Speaker 7: we told this to Krunch legal team, and so we'll
- 40:57Speaker 7: have him to inspect the boat and they'll be able
- 40:58Speaker 7: to tell if there's COMP on that boat. And they said, oh, well,
- 41:01Speaker 7: we heard they cleaned the boat. I said, now, there's
- 41:03Speaker 7: only one chemical that you could you could possibly get
- 41:06Speaker 7: rid of DCOMP with, and I guarantee these people don't
- 41:08Speaker 7: know what it is, so there's no way they could
- 41:11Speaker 7: be a month later. These dogs would be able to
- 41:12Speaker 7: smell the d COMP and they would also have Nolan
- 41:15Speaker 7: sent if he was actually he was.
- 41:16Speaker 3: On the boat alive.
- 41:17Speaker 7: But they would also know if there was a dead
- 41:18Speaker 7: body on that boat. And they declined, they said, no,
- 41:21Speaker 7: we don't think so, so I'm not I'm not sure
- 41:23Speaker 7: why they didn't want to dispell that right away. We
- 41:26Speaker 7: would have known right away if the dead body had
- 41:28Speaker 7: been on that boat.
- 41:29Speaker 2: Okay, Crump, why aren't you allowing the cadaver dog team
- 41:34Speaker 2: onto that boat? We need to know, you know, Brian Trasure,
- 41:39Speaker 2: you made it sound very mysterious. What is the solution
- 41:44Speaker 2: is to get rid of human decomposition?
- 41:48Speaker 7: I'm not going to say that on the air. It
- 41:49Speaker 7: might be somebody watching. It's trying to hide a dead
- 41:51Speaker 7: body as we speak.
- 41:52Speaker 2: But people, are you refering to mariadic acid?
- 41:57Speaker 7: No, it's it's it's a it's a specific kind of
- 42:00Speaker 7: product that's on the market that is used. Matter of fact,
- 42:02Speaker 7: some of our team just went through a training in
- 42:04Speaker 7: Texas and one of the things they did was show
- 42:06Speaker 7: them how to, you know, clean out a vehicle or
- 42:10Speaker 7: something that had decomp on it with this particular solution.
- 42:13Speaker 7: And they would have had to take screws off, and
- 42:15Speaker 7: they would have had to be very detailed if they
- 42:17Speaker 7: were trying to hide something. So there's virtually no way
- 42:19Speaker 7: that the dogs would.
- 42:20Speaker 3: Not have picked this up.
- 42:22Speaker 2: Did they give any explanation as to why they didn't
- 42:24Speaker 2: want the cadaver dogs on the boat? There could be
- 42:27Speaker 2: an explanation. Did they give one?
- 42:30Speaker 3: Not to us?
- 42:31Speaker 7: They didn't know we just assumed that that. You know, Again,
- 42:35Speaker 7: I'm speculating, but if we would have known right away
- 42:38Speaker 7: that there was no dead body on that boat, it
- 42:41Speaker 7: might have defeated some narratives that were being pushed out
- 42:44Speaker 7: there at the time.
- 42:45Speaker 2: The investigation goes on and for all of the detractors
- 42:52Speaker 2: on either side, we're not stopping. So you're wasting your
- 42:56Speaker 2: time as the case is being built. Remember, if you
- 43:01Speaker 2: know or think you know anything regarding this case, please
