They went back. More than a month after Nolan Wells died, several of the young men who were with him on Horn Island have returned, and photos from the island are already circulating online. Their representatives call it grief and their own investigation. Don takes a closer look at what the return means for a case that's still unresolved, and what it says about who gets the benefit of the doubt.

Nolan Wells Case Sparks Fiery Racism Clashes! Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

This week was another chapter in the Nolan Wells story. We received an updated timeline from the United Cajun Navy. Don spoke with a man named Emmanuel who knows the Wells family somewhat, but the conversation morphed into something different all together. We had audio engineer Jeanetta Brantley on to discuss the vile death threats that she and her wife are receiving. Not to mention, a far-right wing podcaster named Brandon Tatum keeps injecting himself into this tragedy and stirring up racial tension related to the case. Whew, what a week.

There has been much scrutiny over Nolan Wells' friend group that he was last seen with before his death.
