What Nolan Wells' Second Autopsy Was Supposed To Settle
A second autopsy is supposed to be a backstop. In the Nolan Wells case it has become the whole argument — because the family arranged one, sent their eighteen-year-old's body to Washington, D.C. for it, and still doesn't have an answer. Neither examination has been released. Not the one done by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office, and not the one the family paid for. Cause and mann...

Nolan Wells' Friends Left Him On An Island With THIS
Everybody arguing about the Nolan Wells case online is arguing about the wrong hour. Not the autopsy. Not the phone. The boat ride home — the moment a group of eighteen-year-olds untied from a barrier island and left one of their own behind on it. Horn Island sits about ten miles off Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The National Park Service keeps it undeveloped. There is no shelter out there, no d...

How Did Nolan Wells End Up Alone on That Island?!
There's a photograph from a Fourth of July boat trip, and Nolan Wells is the only person of color in it. Days later, he's the only one from that group who isn't coming home. That single fact is why the Nolan Wells case has gripped the country — and why the questions around it are so hard to put down. Wells, an 18-year-old from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, went out to Horn Island with friends an...

Why Lindsay Clancy's Husband Is Testifying For Her Defense
Patrick Clancy’s three children are dead. His wife killed them. And he’s standing in a courtroom pointing at her doctors, not at her.

Why Ohio's AG Called the Siders Case 'Intrafamily'
Ohio's Attorney General used one word to describe the Siders case that most people skipped right past: "intrafamily." That word isn't an accident.
