A Family's Desperate Search for Truth in Nolan Wells' Tragic Death The case of Nolan Wells, an 18 year old college football player from Mississippi who drowned on July 4th, has been shrouded in mystery since his body was recovered on the 6th.
Initially, authorities suspected drowning and showed no indication of foul play, but the family's frustration with the investigation led them to seek an independent autopsy, which will be announced this Wednesday.
The Wells' decision to send their son's body to Washington, D. C. , for an independent examination reflects the desperation that often accompanies bureaucratic red tape and slow moving investigations.
