Discover firsthand insights from a Cajun Navy rescuer regarding the Nolan Wells recovery effort
In an exclusive interview with TMZ In The Know, Brian Trasher, Vice President of the United Cajun Navy, provides a detailed account of the search and recovery efforts for missing swimmer Nolan Wells. Trasher explains how his team was alerted on July 4th, leading to a coordinated response involving boat grids, drones, and aerial surveillance off Horn Island. He describes spotting law enforcement gathering at the island's northwest point from a low-flying aircraft, where a body matching Wells' description was discovered lying face down at the shoreline.
Trasher notes that while drift patterns suggested the current would push offshore, Wells was found surprisingly close to his last known location. Reflecting on the timeline, Trasher addresses the baffling gap in information after Wells was last seen with friends, emphasizing the family's ongoing quest for complete clarity surrounding the tragic loss.
