As many of you know, I have been covering the Nolan Wells case extensively and sharing exclusive details that many people have come to rely on my reporting for. Nolan went missing on July 4 and was tragically found deceased on July 6. Since then, this case has exploded across social media, with activists, internet “sleuths,” self-proclaimed professionals and others pushing narratives that have dragged several young men through the mud. These boys have received death threats and were unable to even attend their best friend’s funeral because of the hostility surrounding this case. Anyone who has followed my work knows that when I cover a national story, I believe in putting boots on the ground whenever possible. That is exactly what I will be doing next week. I will be traveling to Ocean Springs, Mississippi, where I will ride on the same type of boat the boys took to Horn Island that day. I will visit Horn Island myself, including the area where Nolan Wells was tragically found. I will also be speaking with the boys, meeting with their attorneys, Tyler Cox and Ed Paltzik, and meeting with several members of the Cajun Navy. My goal is to document as much as possible through video, photographs and firsthand observation so that I can give you a clearer understanding of the locations, distances, conditions and details surrounding this case. If you have followed this case closely and there are specific locations, angles, photographs or questions you would like me to document while I am there, please leave them in the comments. There is going to be a lot happening with this case next week, and I believe this is the right time to go. In my line of work, I believe it is important to do everything possible to bring you the facts — not just repeat what is being said online. That means examining every angle I can, talking to the people directly involved and, when possible, physically going to the places where these events happened. That is exactly what I intend to do.

Nancy Grace had a bad night. Her coverage of the Nolan Wells case did not go well for her and her narrative. Immediately after kicking attorney John Mobley off her show when he challenged her interpretation of the autopsy, Grace brought on Joe Scott Morgan, a professor of applied forensics at Jacksonville State University. Morgan was asked why the state medical examiner retained organs from Wells’ neck and throat. His answer apparently wasn’t what Grace was looking for. Morgan explained that retaining the larynx, pharynx, trachea and other structures of the neck allows forensic pathologists to examine whether breathing was compromised, including looking for hemorrhage, crushing or other trauma. Then he made a point that directly challenged the mystery being built around the retained organs: “There’s nothing abnormal about the state retaining the organs of the neck. This happens very, very frequently in cases like this.” Morgan continued explaining that the organs could be retained for additional examination, consultation or because they may have future evidentiary value. He never got to finish. While Morgan was still speaking, the show’s transition music suddenly began playing over him. Seconds later, the broadcast abruptly cut to commercial. When Nancy Grace returned from the break, Morgan was gone. His explanation was not addressed. So, within the same program, an attorney who disagreed with Grace was kicked off the show, and a forensic expert who explained that the supposedly suspicious retention of the neck organs is actually a common forensic practice was cut off mid-sentence and disappeared after the commercial break.
