Family of Nolan Wells Meets with DA as Investigation Into His July 4 Disappearance and Death Ongoing
The family has hired civil rights attorney Ben Crump and is seeking transparency as two autopsies remain pending, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Christine and Elmore Wonsley met with Jackson County District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath for the first time since their 18-year-old son, Nolan Wells, was found dead near Horn Island on July 6.
- Wells disappeared after a Fourth of July boat trip to Horn Island with friends, and his body was discovered two days later; Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter continues an active investigation.
- Civil rights attorney Ben Crump announced the family and investigators will conduct a "mutual inspection" of Wells' cellphone, while official state and independent autopsy results remain pending.
- After the sheriff's investigation concludes, McIlrath plans to present the case to a grand jury to determine if charges are warranted. Funeral services are scheduled for Monday, July 20, at Center Pointe Church.
- Ledbetter is asking the public for original photos and videos from Horn Island to counter online misinformation, urging witnesses to come forward with firsthand information about the day Wells disappeared.
