A body discovered Monday morning on Horn Island is believed to be that of 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells, who had been missing since July 4, according to officials and a message from his mother.
A park ranger found the body around 8:45 a.m. Monday on the northwest end of the island. Officials have not officially confirmed the identity but said it matches Wells’ description.
Jackson County Coroner Bruce Lynd said, “There is no reason to believe it is not him.”
Wells had last been seen with friends on the island on July 4, prompting a multi-agency search involving local law enforcement and the United Cajun Navy.
His mother, Christine Wonsley, shared an emotional message on Facebook thanking those who assisted in the search.
“I want to thank our family, friends, community, United Cajun Navy, local law enforcement, and everyone involved for all the love, support, resources over the last few days,” Wonsley wrote. “His father, our family, friends and I are absolutely devastated. My heart is broken for my sweet son who was always willing to cheer and uplift others. Nolan was a special soul, God took his time creating our son. I ask that you please give me and my family time to grieve.”
Officials said DNA testing will confirm the body’s identity in the coming days.

I make over $220 an hour while working from home and looking after my two kids. I was hesitant at first, but when my friend, who earns more than $35,000 a month, encouraged me to try it, I went for it. It’s been amazing! I have more time and money than I ever thought possible. Want to see how?
