Speaking of Snapchat, there are over 290 pages of Nolan Wells' Snapchat files that were released by a forensics team named Garrett Discovery.
AndreHOST
These are personal messages from 29 different group chats, and one-on-one conversation that Nolan was a part of.
AndreHOST
And if you dig through these messages, it will probably leave you with more questions and suspicions.

Benjamin CrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And now we won't divulge any of their names for privacy purposes, but they were very telling and very enlightening, these snaps between their friend groups.
Benjamin CrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's, it's really profound because not only did we retrieve the snaps, the snaps, but also Andrew Garrett and his associates at Garrett Discovery were able to use location tracking of Nolan's cell phone.
Benjamin CrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So we have a definitive timeline now based on the movement of the cell phone.
Benjamin CrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Lisa ParkSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We just didn't get that.
Lisa ParkSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We never really got it, is the thing.
Lisa ParkSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And so when we got a letter saying, again, "Here, you've got this certain amount of time to get this phone in," we asked that Garrett Discovery go ahead, come in, and extract the phone for the parents, and then we could hand off the phone.
Lisa ParkSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But as we explained, extracting the phone can take a long time, and it did.
Nicholas BrooksCORRESPONDENT
Yeah, and Troy, the family says the forensic team says that there was an agreement for both sides to examine the phone together, but the company says those terms changed, so the family had to get the phone examined separately.
Nicholas BrooksCORRESPONDENT
Garrett Discovery CEO Andrew Garrett says his company was hired by Nolan's family to examine the phone.
Nicholas BrooksCORRESPONDENT
He says the team recovered data that helps piece together Nolan's final hours.
Andrew GarrettSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There's photos from that day that we were able to recover that lets us know he was on the boat.
Ben CrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They were concerned as any parent would.
Ben CrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And so that's where Garrett Discovery went and they started downloading the phone and it took about 30 some hours to do so.
Ben CrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And then at that point, We were going to give the phone.
Ben CrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
District Attorney said, okay, well, the family has decided to do their own extraction.
Eric HertzSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This is a very important case.
Eric HertzSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
As Mr. Crump just told you, not only is the nation wanting to know what happened to young Nolan, but the world is.
Eric HertzSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And what better time to introduce you to Andrew Garrett from Digital Forensic Expert from Garrett Discovery.
Eric HertzSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And we're here today in his building.
Deb RobertsHOST
He died two months ago in Mississippi of an apparent drowning, but Crump says data from Wells' phone contradicts what investigators say happened that night.
Deb RobertsHOST
It turns out an Orlando company called Garrett Discovery retrieved the data from Wells' phone and Crump says the company found data was deleted from the phone after it was last in Wells' possession.
Deb RobertsHOST
Crump says that could only have been done if someone took user action to delete that data.
Jim ColbertHOST
Yeah, that's what I've, yeah, yeah.
Jesse WeberHOST
Now you fast-forward to Thursday.
Jesse WeberHOST
Ben Crump brings out Andrew Garrett, the CEO of forensics company Garrett Discovery.
Jesse WeberHOST
This is the forensic examiner that was hired by the family to look at Nolan's phone, and it was seemingly in the possession of Nolan's family ever since.
Andrew GarrettSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But one of the things we do know is there was interactions with the phone before and after his death, up until the time that his family retrieved the phone from the other young men that were with him that day.

Jesse WeberHOST
One of the aspects of the grand jury report was about Nolan's cell phone, and if you recall, there was a lot of questions about why he would seemingly leave his phone on the boat before he left to go to Horn Island.
Jesse WeberHOST
Were messages or content deleted? So this grand jury apparently reviewed a 14-page report about his cellular activity.
Jesse WeberHOST
It was conducted by, again, Garrett Discovery, Inc.
Jesse WeberHOST
It was actually provided to the DA's office, and that's interesting because there was a part of the story about, you know, the family and authorities doing a mutual inspection of the phone.
Sharon ReedHOST
And that the evidence, does not rule it out.
Sharon ReedHOST
What about the deleted messages that you've heard so much about? Do they matter? According to Live 5 News at the press conference, Andrew Garrett, a forensic expert with Garrett Discovery, detailed information extracted from Nolan's phone, including when the phone was accessed.
Sharon ReedHOST
He said data showed Nolan's phone stayed on the boat the whole time, and that Nolan last accessed the phone around 2.18 PM.
Sharon ReedHOST
One of the things we do know is there were interactions with the phone before and after his death, up until the time that his family retrieved the phone from the other young men that were with him that day,
Sharon ReedHOST
Hey, if I am just getting to the truth and I don't have any connection with anybody who may have done wrongdoing or may be painted in a bad light, what do I care? Sure, come hither.
Sharon ReedHOST
Record it, why don't we just record it too? What's the big deal, is what I'm asking.
Sharon ReedHOST
Family instead had Garrett Discovery download the phone's data and turn over the information to the DA's office.
Sharon ReedHOST
I like that.
