St. Louis, MO, September 22, 2026 — The family of Nolan Wells is continuing their pursuit of an investigation into his death, which occurred on Horn Island, Mississippi. This effort comes after a grand jury recently returned a “no true bill,” a decision indicating that no criminal charges will be filed in connection with Wells’ passing.
Represented by attorney Ben Crump, the family has publicly stated their disagreement with the grand jury’s findings. A key point of contention cited by the family is the outcome of an independent autopsy. This report indicated that Nolan Wells sustained unexplained blunt force trauma.
The “no true bill” signifies that the grand jury did not find sufficient evidence to bring criminal charges against any individuals. However, the family and their legal representation maintain that the circumstances surrounding Wells’ death warrant further scrutiny and investigation, particularly in light of the autopsy results which they believe point to foul play or negligence.
Information regarding the specific timeline of events leading to Nolan Wells’ death, the initial findings of any official investigations, or the parties potentially involved has not been detailed in relation to the grand jury’s decision. The exact nature of the blunt force trauma, its cause, and how it relates to the events on Horn Island remain subjects of dispute and ongoing concern for the family.
The family’s continued advocacy highlights their commitment to seeking accountability and a thorough understanding of the events that led to Nolan Wells’ death. The attorney’s involvement underscores the legal efforts to pursue further investigative avenues beyond the grand jury’s ruling. The specific next steps in their push for investigation were not provided.
