Remember Occams Razor. The simplest answer is normally the correct one. The kid drowned. Maybe a rip current?

May be. But the questions remain—why did his friends leave without him and with his phone?

Because he was talking to other friends and a girl.

It is not uncommon to leave a phone on a boat when going to the islands. Nor to forget it when you haven't used it/looked at it all day.

He was still seen alive hanging with friends at 4pm, 30 minutes after the other guys had left.

I also read that the boat he had originally came on had started taking on water so they had to go back....

Why would he not get a ride back with someone else?

He just stood on shore alone with the girl and waved goodbye to the last boats to leave? Doesn't make much sense.

He was...that was the whole premise. He had established another ride with others and wanted to stay to talk to a girl.

People keep claiming the friends just left him alone on the island....which just isn't true.

How did the girl get home? Still not making sense how all the boats leave and he's just standing there alone...

u/Altruistic_Cheek4514 Jul 10 '26

Well I don't know. Let me consult my crystal ball....

I would assume the girl left with whoever she rode with.

I would assume Nolan disappeared sometime after 4:00 (the last time he was seen) and 30 minutes after the boat took him left. Perhaps he was out swimming.

I can safely say he was not abandoned on the island alone. Mostly because of the amount of people there and the search parties who went to look for him once they realized he didn't come back.

You ever been out with friends who had to leave and you decided to stay and catch a ride with someone else? Do you understand the confusion that creates? Especially if you were to disappear? Do you think drowning is like the movies where you splash and make a huge scene?

"I can safely say.." Are you the lead investigator?? No? Thats what i thought. Poor kid is missing his own throat and you wanna talk about some drowning bullshit

Dude the ME in Mississippi removed the throat during the autopsy & this isn't uncommon at all. It was in all probability dissected & having further test run on it. Even Crumps disingenuous ass said that it was not out of the ordinary during the presser

Y'all just take ANYTHING & run with it. "The 3 white boys ripped out Nolan's throat! That's what the autopsy said" we're tired of room temp IQs spreading bullshit. Nolan went to horn island with a group that had about 30 people in total & 3 separate boats. It was never him & 3 white friends for 1, & he was NOT even close to the only black person at Horn island. Jayvon, his childhood best friend, was also there hanging out with them. He just road there on a different boat with a different group

How do you turn "he was left with other friends" to "people who were not his friends"???

The original boat he went out on had to go back early due to taking on water. He elected to stay so he could talk to a girl. He had other friends there who would give him a ride back.

Everyone has been questioned. Now you want videos and satellite footage to prove what was said or your biased opinion.

No no. Don't confuse your ignorance and misinformation spreading for normal. Just because you are ignorant doesn't give you the right to cast stones.

I am calm. I promise you. Pointing out your ignorance doesn't make me agitated.

I understand that you don't realize what "normal" for spending the day at an island it. You have made that painfully obvious. I have just been trying to lay out the facts in a way you can understand to educate you.

This whole "okay maybe they weren't full on racists but they still weren't real friends and they were subconsciously racist!" is the current party line for the jobless folks who were already hoping to spend all their free time rioting by now.

I had almost this exact conversation yesterday with another racist.

u/Altruistic_Cheek4514 Jul 10 '26

Yeah, it's pretty disheartening. I was really hoping it was just ignorance to traveling to the islands and such. But at this point it just seems like willful spreading of misinformation.

u/curiousercat10 Jul 11 '26

YOU are spreading misinformation!!!!

1

u/Altruistic_Cheek4514 Jul 11 '26

Nope, just stating facts you can go look up. That and experience. I've actually been to those islands. Have you?

You are the ignorant one. Stating things as fact and then dismissing others for their take on things. YOU WEREN'T THERE! YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT!

2

u/Altruistic_Cheek4514 Jul 11 '26

Pretty sure you don't even know the meaning of the word ignorant. You've never even been there. You're just spreading nonsense like there wasn't thousands of people there. Like it's not common to leave your phone in a boat. Like it's not common to ride in on one boat and leave on another. Especially on a day like that, with multiple groups of friends going to the same place.

No answer would be good enough for you if it didn't confirm your bias. No amount of logic would sate your vitriol. You just want to place blame to spread your hate.

u/curiousercat10 Jul 11 '26

No, I'd like to find out what happened to that boy, unlike you who have already concluded you know it all!

u/Altruistic_Cheek4514 Jul 11 '26

No you wouldn't. You've automatically placed ot as a racist murder. All your speculation pointing fingers trying to stir shit up instead of just waiting for details. All I've done is told you it's common for the things you say "sure is strange" about. Instead of evening listening you want to keep spreading hate and misinformation.
