Ben Crump announced this week that his legal team has hired independent audio engineers to review the full Sea Tow distress call from July 4, the day Nolan Wells went missing on Horn Island, Mississippi. The team is also consulting oceanic engineering experts to examine tidal patterns at the location where Wells was found.
This comes after a widely shared "enhanced" version of the audio raised questions online — though a forensic audio expert has since noted discrepancies between that version and the original recording released by Mississippi’s Department of Marine Resources.
We break down what’s confirmed, what’s still disputed, and what Crump’s team is doing next.
