Attorney Ben Crump is raising concerns over the disappearance and death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells ... saying there are certainly "contradictions" in the stories being told that he plans to get to the bottom of.

Ben explained the family has "concerns" about the state of Mississippi investigating his death, and the fact that he was the only Black kid in a group of white teens, who could potentially have "culpability."
