Mystery death teen Nolan Wells demanded “Give me my freaking phone” in an argument filmed shortly before he went missing, his family’s lawyer Ben Crump claims.

The 18-year-old college football player vanished during a Fourth of July boat trip with friends to Horn Island, Mississippi.

His body was recovered Monday and positively identified as his remains the following day using dental records.

Police have been investigating a video that allegedly shows a heated argument before Wells went missing.

Speaking in an interview with Michael Strahan on “Good Morning America” alongside Wells’ devastated parents Friday morning, Crump said the footage shows a fight over the teen’s phone.

“This video, you can hear an argument going where Nolan is saying ‘Give me my freaking phone, what are you freaking doing?’ the attorney said.

Crump also questioned claims that Wells left his phone with his pals before they reportedly returned to shore without him.

“I mean, no young person leaves their cell phone,” he told Strahan.
