What The Nolan Wells Phone Could Still Prove
True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews | 07 sep 2026 | 00:45:26

One piece of evidence could answer almost every open question in the Nolan Wells case, and nobody has touched it in six weeks. His phone has been with his family since July 5. On July 15, they agreed with the Jackson County DA on a joint forensic exam at a community college lab, with their own experts, the DA's experts, and possibly the FBI. No date was ever locked in. In early August, the friends' attorney went on national radio and accused the family of stonewalling. The DA's office fired back with a 44-hour deadline to hand the phone to her office instead — while Nolan's parents were out of state. The family called that bad faith and offered any day between August 18 and 21. Still no exam. While the phone sat waiting, Al Sharpton wasn't. Four days after Nolan's body was found on Horn Island, he called the case suspicious and framed it around race — before the sheriff had ruled anything out, before an independent autopsy found no fractures, no lacerations, no deep-tissue injuries. He asked on camera if the friends were racist. He announced a six-figure reward at the funeral before cause of death was even determined. His attorneys now say he never accused anyone of a crime. His own timeline, statement by statement, tells a different story. Three strangers from three states are facing federal charges for threatening the friends over claims that still haven't been proven or disproven. The phone sitting in Ocean Springs could settle it. Nobody's opened it yet.
