Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

A 22‑page report from the United Cajun Navy compiles publicly available data, GPS logs, photos, social media posts, and tips to reconstruct the final hours before Nolan Wells disappeared on July 4, 2026.
According to the report, Wells and friends arrived on Horn Island around 11 a.m. The last time Nolans was seen alive is between 3:23 p.m. and 4:27 p.m. As the boats left the island, the Triton, Nolan's initial transport left at 4:31 p.m.
The report highlights a critical 60‑minute gap between Wells’ last sighting and the Triton’s departure. Nolan's state autopsy remains sealed.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos continues to say he believes the Nancy Guthrie investigation is moving forward. Speaking to reporters, Nanos says while things are not where they need to be, but progress is being made. Is it? On Thursday, Nanos responded to a question of whether Nancy was still alive with, 'I have nothing to indicate she's dead. I don't have a body. I don't have a burial site. I don't have any note.'
The next day, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office released two ransom notes that we have been discussing for six months. In the second note, the write reveals Nancy has died and "was in nature."
Many are questioning mistakes made in the investigation and whether the outcome of this case would have been different, had it been handled appropriately.
Anyone with information on the abduction of Nancy Guthrie is asked to call 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or 88-CRIME.

Nolan Wells’ official autopsy is now complete, but remains under seal. It's headed to a secret Grand Jury. We do know the results of the Wells family's independent autopsy. It concluded the cause and manner of death are undetermined pending further investigation. The pathologist noted advanced decomposition, removal of key organs during the state autopsy, and an inconclusive red discoloration on the back of Wells’ head. No fractures or deep tissue injuries were identified.
A newly enhanced recording of a July 4 emergency call from Wells’ friends reportedly includes phrases like “Is he dead?” and “Wake up.” It's not known if that those word apply to Nolan.
As the investigation continues, many connected to it are getting death threats and the FBI is investigating.
