In Part 2, we continue examining the unexplained death of the Ocean Springs, Mississippi, college football player Nolan Wells, whose body was found near Horn Island on July 6, 2026 - two days after the boat that brought him to the island returned without him. This episode focuses on the evidence and conflicting accounts at the center of the investigation.

At the time of the July 23, 2026 recording, the official Mississippi autopsy and toxicology findings had not been publicly released. The family’s independent autopsy classified Nolan’s cause and manner of death as undetermined pending further investigation. No one had been arrested or charged in connection with his death, and the completed investigation was expected to be reviewed by a grand jury.
