What new evidence and enhanced audio are being debated in the Nolan Wells case?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Today marks six months since the disappearance and alleged kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie, which would go on, of course, this case would, to grip the nation. Thousands of investigative hours by police, countless tips, reporters chasing down every nugget of potential new leads, and yet what happened to her remains a mystery. Coming up, we will dig into Savannah Guthrie's new message on the case and why some believe her message sounded like her words are still being very carefully chosen. Why is that? Plus, we'll go through new statements from the sheriff about the DNA and update on the FBI. And finally, the text of that first ransom note, the one they believed was real, is out.
First, though, we begin with new information on another mystery making massive headlines, and that is the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells out of Mississippi. Someone close to this investigation telling our show that Nolan was not the only boy who went over with this group of kids that day to this island celebrating the 4th of July to stay behind when the first boat turned back into shore. So there was another boy. We know his name. We're not going to release it because we have no desire to cause more trouble for this kid. They're all being accused of murder. The more names you put out there, another boy's... teenage years are ruined for nothing for absolutely nothing based on no proof we're not going to participate in that but we do know this young man's name and we know that he like nolan also stayed behind this was not some crazy decision by nolan or they were beating on me they were threatening my life so i didn't go what you know no he was reportedly talking to a girl he wanted to stay behind and talk to the girl more and one of his buddies also chose to stay behind
This was not an unusual event at all. And now more of Nolan's friends are speaking out, putting the lies to the nonsense that's been spreading about them online. At the same time, speculation is running wild regarding audio allegedly of some of these teens on the boat. Now, in all, there were three boats that this group was on when they went over to this island. OK, we'll call the boat that Nolan was on boat number one, since that's obviously the most relevant one. Boat number one took Nolan and a bunch of others over to this island. And while they were anchored right off the island, it started to take on water. They realized they had a problem. They said the bilge pump was not working. And they knew they needed to go back in.
They had to go back to the mainland, which is what they did. Nolan chose to stay behind. So did this other teen. And there's no question that these teens on boat number one were concerned about the fact that the boat was taking on water, as any of us would be, because they called in to the Coast Guard. It was technically... A group called the Mississippi Department of Maine Marine Resources, which is at least the one that had the audio recording of the call. So I don't know if they dialed Coast Guard and that's where their call was directed, but it was the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources that had the recording of the call, which has been obtained by local TV station WLOX and other outlets.
This call was placed at about 4 p.m. local time. to the private marine towing company SeaTow. Okay, so that's how it came in hours before Wells was reported missing by a friend and his mom. So we've got the audio recording and it to me sounds like a bunch of boys on a boat worried about their boat sinking. But if you are one of the people who's been calling those boys murderers for weeks now, you might hear something very different. You might imagine a world in which you hear them talking about Nolan being dead while they're on the boat and perhaps panicking about covering up their alleged crime. You might then run with that if you were an irresponsible media outlet without reporting that there is video out there showing boat number one and Nolan not on it.
