Anonymous Complaint Reported to Mississippi Nursing Board Targeting Nolan Wells’s Mother

The family says the filing is an intimidation tactic that could deepen public mistrust as a sealed state autopsy awaits grand-jury review.

Overview

  • The family’s lawyer, Ben Crump, disclosed on Wednesday that an anonymous complaint was reported to the Mississippi Board of Nursing about Christine Wonsley, Nolan Wells’s mother.
  • The Board of Nursing said investigations are confidential under state law and its leaders will not confirm whether a specific complaint was received.
  • State medical exam and toxicology results have been completed and are sealed for presentation to a Jackson County grand jury, and no one has been arrested in connection with Wells’s death.
  • The family has pursued its own inquiries after an inconclusive independent autopsy, obtaining subpoenas for social media and phone data and hiring outside forensic experts to reconstruct the July 4 Horn Island timeline.
  • Friends and witnesses have faced doxxing and threats and some alleged harassers have been arrested, and Wonsley has taken leave from work to grieve while defending her professional record.
