Grand Jury Finds No Criminal Wrongdoing In The Death Of Nolan Wells [VIDEO]

18 year old, Nolan Xavier Wells, was last seen July 4 on the island, where he was hanging out with a group of friends, that he traveled there with, but everyone else reportedly made it back to the mainland without him. On July 4th, 2026, Nolan Xavier Wells was reported missing after going on a weekend trip with friends on Horn Island, Mississippi. The Ocean Springs native was last seen shirtless, wearing blue swim trunks and black sunglasses, on a boat on the island with friends.  Days later Nolan Wells was found washed up on shore on the northwest end of Horn Island.  The family of Nolan Wells has been begging for answers as to what happened to him.  A Grand Jury has gave the verdict as no criminal wrongdoing.

Reportedly the district attorney said the grand jury had been unanimous in not returning a true bill, or indictment, after considering a wide range of evidence from witnesses and other sources, including elements of the independent investigation launched by Wells’ family. The grand jury further found that the “position of, condition of, time of discovery, and location” of his body was “consistent with drowning.”

The family of Nolan Wells as well as Attorney Ben Crump, attorney for the family, is expected to speak in a press conference Tuesdays following the grand jury finding no evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
