Nolan Buchanan is in Jail now, and as of now, nothing much is known about his jail life. 

Though he might be never be seen until and unless contact is made by any of the media houses. 

Nolan Buchanan testified during the trial that his father was the true murderer.

His new story was detailed, stating that his father first shot his stepmother, then his brother and that when his father turned the gun on the defendant, he wrestled the gun away from his father and shot him in self-defense.

However, the evidence established that the defendant’s new story was a lie because critical details of his story were determined to be forensically impossible.

His father and his fiance, and his brother, all were killed by Nolan, leaving no member of his family alive. 

Buchanan was sentenced on July 12, 2018, and faces life in prison.
