Summary
- FBI is investigating interstate threats linked to the teen's death.
- Nolan Wells was found dead near Horn Island after a weekend trip.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is actively involved in the probe into the death of Mississippi teenager Nolan Wells. This involvement stems from interstate threats received by individuals connected to the case, as confirmed by the FBI.
Nolan Wells, 18, was discovered deceased near Horn Island days after he went missing during a July Fourth weekend trip with friends. The group had become separated on the island, and his friends returned to shore without him, initiating a large-scale search.
The circumstances surrounding Nolan's death have drawn significant public attention, leading to the emergence of threats against those associated with the case. Screenshots of these disturbing messages, including explicit warnings of violence, were shared on social media by Ashlee Cole, the mother of one of Nolan's friends.
Nolan's parents, Christine Wells-Wonsley and Elmore Wonsley, have retained civil rights attorney Ben Crump to spearhead an independent investigation. As of the report, official autopsy findings and toxicology reports have not been released, and the cause of death remains undetermined. Cole has expressed willingness to cooperate fully with Nolan's family and their legal team to uncover the truth.
