Jackson County District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath is directly addressing some of the biggest allegations, rumors and conspiracy theories surrounding the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells.
A Jackson County grand jury unanimously returned a NO TRUE BILL after an extensive investigation, meaning no criminal charges will be brought based on the evidence presented.
But the DA’s announcement went much further.
McIlrath directly addressed allegations involving Nolan’s friends, claims of a racially motivated crime, questions surrounding Nolan’s cellphone, his alcohol use, the independent autopsy and accusations that investigators withheld information from the Wells family.
According to the DA and grand jury findings, there was no credible evidence establishing that Nolan’s friends committed a crime against him and no evidence establishing that his disappearance or death was racially motivated.
The DA also revealed that evidence showed Nolan purchased his own alcohol using a fake ID.
McIlrath addressed one of the biggest controversies in the investigation: Nolan’s cellphone.
She explained that investigators did not have legal authority to simply seize Nolan’s phone from his family. The phone remained under the control of Nolan’s family and legal team while independent forensic examinations were conducted.
According to information presented during the investigation, the forensic analysis found no evidence that anyone outside Nolan’s family accessed the phone after Nolan’s last known use or deleted information from it.
The DA also addressed the family’s independent forensic pathologist, Dr. Roger Mitchell, saying he received access to investigative materials, visited locations connected to the case and ultimately testified directly before the grand jury.
McIlrath then delivered some of her strongest criticism yet of the misinformation surrounding Nolan’s death, arguing that unsupported accusations and viral speculation resulted in harassment, threats and damage to people who were never charged with a crime.
But Nolan’s family and its representatives are pushing back.
Attorney Ben Crump and Rev. Al Sharpton say the absence of criminal charges still does not answer the fundamental question of exactly how Nolan Wells died.
Both the state medical examiner and the family’s independent forensic pathologist officially classified Nolan’s cause and manner of death as undetermined.
In this video, we examine what the DA says the evidence actually showed, the claims she says were false, the cellphone investigation, the independent medical review, the grand jury’s decision, and why Nolan’s family says there are still unanswered questions.
