Nolan Wells' family presses for transparent investigation

Season 2026 Episode 143 | 7m 32s

Family members are pressing for answers about the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells. He disappeared during a Fourth of July trip with three high school friends to an island off Mississippi's Gulf Coast. Wells, who is Black, was the only one who did not return to the mainland, and days later his body was found in the water. Geoff Bennett spoke with Wells family attorney, Ben Crump.
