Alexis Investigates - When Did We Start Taking Misinformation as Fact? Inside the Nolan Wells Case When a major story breaks, the facts don't travel alone.Within hours, one real event can explode into a cloud of headlines, theories, reaction videos, podcasts, accusations and opinions—many delivered with so much confidence that they begin to sound like established facts.In this episode of Alexis Investigates, Alexis Knight examines how that happens using the ongoing Nolan Wells case as a real-time example.

Why are dramatic “updates” more valuable than simply saying, “We don't know yet”? And what happens when online speculation begins affecting the real people at the center of a case? This isn't about dismissing the legitimate questions surrounding Nolan's death or his family's search for answers.
