Social media is celebrating Nancy Grace taking on the Nolan Wells case, with fans convinced her coverage will bring fresh scrutiny to the Mississippi teen’s death.
The death of Nolan Wells has drawn Tyler Perry, Colin Kaepernick and Ben Crump into the family’s corner, but the latest name to enter the fray may be the one lighting up social media most. Longtime true crime broadcaster Nancy Grace has turned her attention to the case, and across Threads and Instagram, people are treating it like a turning point.
Grace laid out what’s fueling the renewed interest in a recent segment, zeroing in on the questions surrounding Wells’ cellphone. She told viewers that allegations have surfaced suggesting the phone was tampered with and that content was deleted following the teen’s death.

Grace walked through the timeline as the family has described it, noting that when Wells’ mother was tracking the missing device, differing location readings from Snapchat and Life360 initially pointed to separate spots, something she said can happen because one app updates automatically while the other only refreshes when opened. By the time the phone was recovered, Grace relayed, his mother reported that nothing from that day remained on it.
Reactions poured in framing her arrival as a game changer, with one user writing, “We got Tyler Perry funds and Nancy Grace’s attention!! Nolan, we gone get justice for you baby boy.”
