Episode Details

An independent autopsy on Nolan Wells, an 18-year-old from Mississippi who vanished on Horn Island, reveals the cause and manner of death are undetermined—and foul play cannot be ruled out. The forensic pathologist noted troubling signs, including discoloration on his head, but was hindered by missing body parts and incomplete remains. His family, still awaiting the official state autopsy, pushed for this review after his body was found two days after his disappearance. Key questions remain unanswered: whether he was conscious before entering the water, and if neck injuries played a role—since parts of his throat were unavailable for analysis. Toxicology results were also not included. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump is now calling for the independent pathologist to review the state’s findings, and a major reward has been offered for any information leading to an arrest or conviction.
