# Mississippi nursing board probes Nolan Wells’ mother after complaint 2026-08-06T14:02:50+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Mississippi Board of Nursing has opened a professional misconduct investigation into Christine Wonsley’s job performance after an anonymous complaint, attorney Ben Crump said on 5 August. The complaint followed the death of her son, Nolan Wells. Neither the complaint nor the board’s detailed findings has been made public. Crump called the action intimidation and a distraction, saying Wonsley had not faced earlier complaints. Wells went missing on 4 July after travelling by boat to Horn Island with friends. A park ranger found his body northwest of the island on 6 July, and the search was called off. Wonsley has also faced one-star online reviews. Friends have urged people not to make the death about race, while Crump was criticised for sharing an unverified pool party photograph. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: investigation, Mississippi, Nolan Wells, nursing board, online speculation Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mississippi-nursing-board-investigates-nolan-wells-mother/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
