Roland Martin and the RMU panel press the unanswered questions in Nolan Wells’ death, from the friends he was allegedly with to the phone that came back without him. For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (724) 264-8281 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/roland Paid Partnership Roland Martin covered the ongoing investigation into the death of 19-year-old Nolan Wells after a July 4th boating trip to Horn Island. The segment focused on a public statement from Judge Ashley Cole, whose stepson Warren Hudson was identified as one of the white teens who accompanied Nolan before he disappeared. Roland and the RMU panel questioned the timeline, the claim that Nolan stayed behind with another group of friends, why Nolan did not have his phone when he went missing, and whether investigators moved quickly enough to preserve phones, videos, social media, and witness accounts. The panel also connected the case to a wider fear among Black men, including the “Check on Your Brothers” response, while stressing that Nolan’s family is still waiting for answers. #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork #NolanWells #BenCrump #BlackMen #JusticeForNolanWells #HornIsland Black Star Network Partner: Chapter Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

Roland asked the question at the center of this case: if Nolan supposedly stayed behind with another group of friends, where are those friends, what did they see, and why did his phone come back without him?

I find it odd they keep saying…..no cell phone service, but people video taping from their phones and posting on social media.

The Judge and Sheriff work hand-in-hand along with law enforcement. The investigation has to be independently conducted, otherwise everything will be covered-up.
