Nolan Wells Bombshells: Phone Withheld, Autopsy Refused + Jackson Hanging Death (Ep #1,271)

**Clay Edwards Show with Creston Burch – Episode Description** Big updates on the Nolan Wells case dominate this episode. Sources indicate the Wells family and Ben Crump have not turned over Nolan’s cell phone to the Jackson County DA’s office despite requests, and they have declined or ignored an invitation to sit down and review the state crime lab autopsy and toxicology reports. The toxicology is said to show high alcohol levels, no cocaine, and likely THC. The autopsy is expected to list drowning or undetermined as the cause, with the manner of death remaining undetermined — a finding that does not equal homicide. Discussion covers the condition of the body after roughly 36 hours at sea and the ongoing narrative push around deleted messages and foul play. Also covered: neighbors in Pascagoula have sued Judge Ashley Cole and Dr. Hudson over a permitted fence that allegedly blocks their harbor view, adding another layer of pressure on the family amid the broader case. Locally, the death of Taseya Fortune, found hanging behind an abandoned house on Road of Remembrance in Jackson, draws scrutiny of lynching claims. A person of interest living with her had already been arrested on an unrelated charge, with reports of a prior quarrel. Speculation about white supremacist involvement is examined against the emerging facts. Additional segments touch on a widely circulated but false claim that a Yemeni immigration attorney was appointed municipal judge in Ridgeland (denied by both the individual and the city), plus ongoing WNBA drama involving Sophie Cunningham and former NBA players seeking to enter the women’s league. Straightforward discussion of the facts as they stand, the incentives driving public narratives, and why some stories refuse to die quietly.
