The family of Nolan Wells, an 18-year-old college football player whose death remains under investigation, has issued subpoenas to several social media companies in an effort to obtain information related to his accounts. The subpoenas, issued Tuesday, seek data from platforms including Snapchat, WhatsApp, TikTok, Meta Platforms, and the location-tracking app Life360, according to court documents obtained by local media.

The requests call for comprehensive account information such as current and previous usernames and passwords, associated email addresses, phone numbers, and display names. Additionally, the subpoenas demand all IP addresses linked to the accounts as well as all communications, including chats, posts, and stories.

The family's legal action comes amid growing concerns about the state of Wells’ cellphone and its contents, which have become a focal point in the ongoing investigation into his death. Christine Wonsley, Wells’ mother, expressed unease after receiving his phone and discovering an absence of photos or videos on his two Snapchat accounts. She described the missing content as “suspicious” and has raised concerns over potential deletion of information.

Wells was reported missing after a boating trip to Horn Island off the Mississippi Coast on July 4, where he had been with friends. He never returned with the group, prompting searches and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and subsequent death. Authorities have yet to release detailed findings, and the family's subpoenas aim to uncover additional information that could shed light on the case.
