Nolan Wells, an 18-year-old whose body was found near Horn Island two days after he disappeared with friends on July 4, had his family and attorneys meet with Jackson County District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath to discuss the legal process. The DA outlined that the case will proceed to a grand jury after the sheriff’s investigation concludes, and the family requested a 'zealous' investigation. Attorneys Ben Crump and Eric Hertz confirmed ongoing efforts to review Wells’ phone and gather information from witnesses.
