Governor blames activists in Nolan Wells case for ‘stoking division,’ official says FBI probing threats

MISSISSIPPI – The FBI is investigating threats against the people who were with Nolan Wells in the hours before the Mississippi teen vanished and was found dead, one of the state's top law enforcement officials says.
