Details about Nolan Xavier Wells’ final whereabouts are continuing to unfold. Now, his best friend Jayvon Williams’ mother is speaking out and recalling the night she tried to get Nolan’s phone back while sharing additional information about how she found it.
Nolan’s best friend and his mother, Tashima, recently spoke with CNN alongside Nolan’s mother Christine Wonsley and Attorney Ben Crump, who joined the conversation virtually. Tashima opened up about the moment she retrieved Nolan’s phone. She explained that Christine began looking for answers after Nolan stopped responding and hadn’t been heard from since he left Horn Island on the 4th of July.
Tashima said she reached out to her sons Jayvon and Jalen, but neither of them had heard from Nolan. She then started checking Nolan’s phone location, which showed one area, while his Snapchat showed another. Tashima said the phone’s location led her to a home where a group of people appeared to be hanging out. When she arrived at the home, Tashima said the lights were off, and the teens inside took about 15 minutes to return Nolan’s phone. “It took about fifteen minutes to get the phone,” Tashima said. She recalled someone telling her the phone was in a friend’s truck, but that friend said a girl would bring it out instead. Tashima said the delay made her question why it took them so long to return Wells’ phone.
During the CNN interview, Jayvon Williams also shared that Nolan would’ve never stayed behind on Horn Island despite the rumors surrounding his final moments. He added that Nolan was the type of person who always came back with the same people he left with.
“I’ve never known Nolan to stay back while his friends leave. He’s always a guy where, if he rode with you, he’s gonna come back with you. That’s always how he’s been every single time,” Jayvon explained.
As The Shade Room previously reported, Nolan’s parents Elmore and Christine Wonsley previously spoke out out about whether Nolan would have willingly stayed behind on Horn Island during an interview with ‘Good Morning America.’ Elmore said Nolan would’ve never done that because they raised to always leave with the same number of people he arrived with.
“We’ve always taught him that if you go with a group, you stay with a group. If you go with five, you come back with five. Do not separate from the group ’cause I always say safety is in numbers. So he knew to stay with his group. So why would he split from his group? I don’t know,” Elmore explained.
Christine also shared that Nolan always checked in with them, but he didn’t reach out on July 4th. She said she didn’t think much of it at first because they knew he was making the most of his last weekend before camp season kicked off. “Because that Monday he had to report to school — he was preparing to for the camp season,” Christine said.
