Judge Addresses Rumors Linking Her Son to Nolan Wells’ Case

  • On Tuesday, Chancery Judge Ashlee Cole addressed online rumors regarding 18-year-old Nolan Wells, whose body was discovered Monday on Horn Island after a holiday weekend disappearance.
  • Wells was last seen on the northwest tip of Horn Island on July 4 after his group departed due to boat trouble, according to Cole's account of her son Warren's experience.
  • Civil rights attorney Ben Crump has been retained by the family, stating his team will investigate "if he had any physical injuries to his body beyond drowning" during a second autopsy in Washington.
  • Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter urged anyone with original photos or video to contact deputies, seeking information on any "argument, disturbance or other unusual activity" on the island.
  • A GoFundMe campaign for funeral costs has exceeded $230,000, while social media rumors continue to complicate the active investigation into Wells' death.
