In the streets of Mississippi, demands for transparency and truth.

>> AND DON'T ALLOW NOLAN WELLS NAME TO BE FORGOTTEN >> in the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells, who disappeared after a Fourth of July boat trip with friends.

His body was recovered 2 days later.

Investigators say he may have drowned, but his parents question why his phone was found with a friend and why he didn't leave the island with the group he arrived with.

Now, the family's attorney and investigators are trying to piece together what happened, asking people who were on the island to share any videos like this one from that day.

Nolan's family says he was the only black person in the group and have questioned whether race may have played a role.

Tonight, his family is awaiting the results of an independent autopsy in their search for answers.
