• Rulings Leave Questions Lingering in Nolan Wells Case (thekansascityglobe.com) — In Upper Marlboro, authorities quickly ruled a Black man's Sept. 20 hanging on D'Arcy Road a suicide, with police saying his family agrees and requested privacy. The broader investigation connects this case to other disputed hangings in Mississippi, while Prince George's County leaders urge residents not to share images or fuel online speculation.
