On July 4, 2026, 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells traveled by boat with friends to Horn Island off Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. He did not return to the mainland with them. After an extensive search, his body was discovered near the island on July 6. The circumstances surrounding Nolan’s death raised difficult questions for his family and the public.
