The investigation is still underway.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/perezhilton.com\/d4vd-case-celeste-rivas-pregnant\/\"><strong>Related: D4vd Case: Major Twist Revealed \u2014 Was Celeste Really Pregnant?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now, new footage has emerged potentially showing the boat Nolan was last seen on, and it could be a clue in the case.<\/p>\n<p>In a new clip posted to social media, a boat named \u201cMac Daddy\u201d is captured anchored at Horn Island at 11:17 a.m., before the area got too crowded. It\u2019s possible Nolan could be seen sitting on the boat, though it\u2019s hard to tell.\u00a0Authorities have not confirmed whether this is the same boat <a href=\"https:\/\/perezhilton.com\/nolan-wells-death-investigation-fourth-july-boat-trip-friends-investigators-take-key-step\/\">connected to the teen\u2019s death<\/a>, but it matches a boat seen in a video taken later that day \u2014 which may include Nolan\u2019s last on-camera sighting before his death.<\/p>\n<p>See the new footage first, with the boat sighting at the end:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DbIxiXXAkFq\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>TMZ<\/em>\u2018s footage, taken at around 2:23 p.m. local time according to metadata, shows a man at the back of the boat, believed to be Nolan, because he is wearing the same colored bathing suit as the teenager had on in a photo taken with friends that day. Look:<\/p>\n<p>In <em>TMZ<\/em>\u2018s video, some adults seem to be on the boat, but in the new footage, the group on the boat does not appear to match.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to know what to make of these videos at this time, but if the Mac Daddy is the boat tied to the investigation, these clips could help investigators narrow down a timeline of events in the case. According to reports, nobody said they saw Nolan after 4:30 p.m., so any information tracking his movements on this pivotal day could go a long way.<\/p>\n<p>Thoughts?
