One month after Nolan Wells disappeared and was found dead on Horn Island in Mississippi, garnering nationwide attention around the circumstances surrounding his death and the “friends” he was last seen with, a third person has been arrested for allegedly threatening witnesses in the highly controversial case.

After celebrating July 4 with his friends, the 18-year-old, a student and wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College, was found dead on the northwest end of the island on July 6 and identified using dental records.

Since then, his family has received death threats and faced online abuse, with Nolan’s mother, Christine Wonsley, revealing that they have received anonymous hate mail.
