## Resource

A missing teen’s tragic death sparks national outcry as his parents demand answers after authorities’ account falls short. Eighteen-year-old Nolan Wells vanished during a Fourth of July boat trip, and his body was found two days later — but his family says the official story is riddled with holes. They’ve hired civil rights attorney Ben Crump, are pursuing an independent autopsy, and are digging into deleted texts — all while questioning why his phone and keys were with friends if he’d chosen to stay behind. With powerful voices like Tyler Perry and Colin Kaepernick rallying support, and painful echoes of Mississippi’s racial past, the case has ignited a firestorm of distrust in local law enforcement. Witnesses, video, and inconsistencies point to a deeper mystery — and the family is calling on anyone with info to speak up.
