Ex-FBI agent: Snapchat can help solve Nolan Wells case
Nolan Wells, a Mississippi community college football player, went missing on July 4 and his body was found on July 6.
His family believes Snapchat messages from July 4 were deleted, as he used the app frequently but no messages exist from that day.
Former FBI agent Kieran Ramsey says investigators can recover 'several layers' of data from Snapchat's servers even if messages were deleted.
Authorities can send preservation letters to Snapchat for cellphone and geolocation data to track Wells and anyone with him on July 4.
The timeline of events has 'a lot of contradictions,' according to Ramsey, making digital evidence crucial.
