Who are Nolan Wells' parents and why are they on Don Lemon's show?
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Lemon Live at 5. I appreciate you being here. We have a very special show for you and one that I want you to pay attention to and engage because this is the story that has captured America's heart. And I must say, this is the young man that has captured America's heart. And I'm talking about, Andy, put the pictures up. I'm talking about 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells. College freshman off to a trip with his friends and then ended up losing his life. And now his family is left to try to figure out what exactly is going on. What exactly is going on? And I can't imagine what they're going through. So I want to get directly to, as you hit the like and the thumbs up, please hit that because that affects the algorithm.
More people become aware of our conversation in our channel. I want to bring in now Ms. Christine and Mr. Elmore Wansley, Nolan Wells' mother and father, who we have been watching handle this with dignity, and also Ben Crump, their attorney, is with them. Thank you guys for joining us. Good evening. Good evening. How are you holding up, Ms. Christine?
Barely. Just second by second. Just trying to navigate this as best as I can.
Yeah. Mr. Elmore, how are you holding up?
The same. Day by day. Doing it together. That's the main thing, getting through it as a family.
Well, let me just say what the commenter has up on the screen, that you guys are a beautiful family and an example of, I believe, the nuclear American family. And I've just been so impressed with the way that you conducted yourselves and you're conducting yourselves and just in awe. knowing what you're dealing with. You got the right person sitting next to you. And we'll tell you that you chose the right person. So I will ask you before we get into more details, because you've done a number of interviews and I'm sure it's been a whirlwind and you have to deal with what you're dealing with. Is there anything today that someone did not ask you that you would like to say about what is going on?
Hmm.
That's the question.
And Ben, maybe it has to do with the investigation or Mr. Elmarco.
Yes. We asked a lot of questions today. I think they came at us with pretty much everything. And, you know, we just like you said in the beginning, we just want transparency. We want the truth. That's all. I mean, as parents, you want to know what's happening to your children. You want to know everything, what happened today, and everything, all details.
As I watched the press conference today, you guys gave some details that were a bit surprising to me that- Can you hear us? Yes, we can hear you. We can hear you, yeah, we can hear you. Can you hear us? We can hear. Okay. Audio problems, which we'll not probably fix unless they go out and come back in. So we'll get back to them because they need to get out and come back in because that's always the case. In the meantime, I want to play a little bit of the press conference as we get them back. Roll it, Andy.
Do him. And whenever you feel like... you're in a bind or having some kind of problem, call on your brother, talk to your brother. My twins, the loss of a younger sibling is hurting them. They have to figure out how to navigate through life without them. And my daughter Carly, with her being away, It's really hard for her because she's not around family now. So she's out on her own, you know, doing life, doing what life does. But she's doing it on her own. So she has to do this by herself. We're here. know by phone but we're not there in person so she she really has to draw on the people that surround her when she's not home so all together my family this is going to be our new norm he was the gesture in my court and yeah he will be missed greatly not by us but by the whole community
we will announce the funeral services when it is finalized and we'll be going to help uh with the our officiate at the funeral in uh mississippi again we'll take you questions But identify who you are. And please be respectful to families in mourning. But because they want justice for their son, they came to New York to make this appeal.
