Mississippi governor comments on Nolan Wells case
Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves broke his silence on the Nolan Wells case, stating he has seen no evidence of foul play but trusts authorities to investigate.
Nolan Wells' mother, Christine Wonsley, met with the Jackson County district attorney on July 15, 2026.
The Jackson County Sheriff's Department investigation will be presented to a grand jury once complete, a standard procedure for unnatural deaths.
Two autopsies are underway: the official investigation and a private one by attorney Ben Crump hired by the family.
Wells, 18, was found dead on Horn Island on July 6 after going missing on July 4 while boating with friends.
