Three Friends Want to Investigate Nolan Wells' Death Themselves
Officials say two autopsies and a month of scrutiny have not determined how the Black teenager died.
- One month after a Black teenager vanished during a boating trip to Horn Island, Nolan Wells' death remains unexplained following two autopsies. His body was recovered two days after the July 4 trip, yet authorities have provided no official explanation.
- Social-Media speculation intensified after Mississippi authorities released a call made at about 4 p.m. to Sea Tow. An audio engineer's enhanced version went viral, though forensic experts caution such recordings can be misleading without original, uncompressed files.
- Attorney Ben Crump, representing the family, is conducting an independent investigation and has sought subpoenas for digital records. Filmmaker Tyler Perry and The Rev. Al Sharpton have joined the family's persistent demand for transparency and thorough answers.
- Federal authorities have arrested three people from California, Ohio, and Illinois for allegedly making threats against officials and witnesses connected to the case. None of the arrested individuals are accused of involvement in Wells' death.
- Once investigators finish their work, District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath plans to present evidence to a grand jury. Dr. Roger Mitchell Jr., who performed an independent autopsy, classified Wells' cause of death as undetermined pending further investigation.
