The family of 18-year-old Nolan Wells, who is found dead off Horn Island in Mississippi, hires civil rights attorney Ben Crump as the death investigation continues. Wells went missing on July 4 while visiting Horn Island and is found dead in the water on Monday morning, according to reports. As of now, no official cause of death has been confirmed.
Multiple outlets report that Crump’s involvement centers on calls for transparency and a thorough investigation. Authorities, including the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, are asking the public for information that could help determine what happened. The department also requests that residents or visitors provide original video footage taken on or around the island, particularly related to the period when Wells disappeared.
Reports also note that a video circulating online appears to show an alleged argument involving Wells on the day he went missing. Investigators say this matter is part of the broader inquiry, while the sheriff’s office continues to review information and seek additional leads from the public.
